ConocoPhillips Jobs Vacancy - Geophysicist
ConocoPhillips is the world’s largest independent upstream energy company, based on proved reserves and production of liquids and natural gas. Headquartered in Houston, Texas, the company had operations in almost 30 countries and approximately 16,700 employees as of May 1, 2012, with 2011 average production of 1.62 million BOE per day and proved reserves of 8.4 billion BOE as of Dec. 31, 2011.
Position Summary The Eagle Ford team is searching for a geophysicist with a background in regional interpretation to support field development activities. This individual will be required to integrate and standardize data from multiple sources; and recognize the limitations of the data. The responsibilities of the geophysicist will be execution of key projects and provide regional interpretation of valuable seismic attributes related to the understanding of unconventional resources. The individual will work closely with geophysical counterparts, reservoir engineers, geologists, and Subsurface Technology. The successful candidate will work with others on the Asset team and Operations teams including geologists, reservoir engineers, petrophysicists,geochemists, geophysicists, drillers, and operations geologists. The Eagle Ford asset is one of the most rapidly growing and active programs in Lower 48 with sixteen drilling rigs currently in the area. This data-rich asset includes over 1500 square miles of 3D seismic which includes a 400 square mile ZenSeis high quality survey acquired in 2011, and 40+ COP-drilled vertical pilot wells. Over the next couple of years, the horizontal well program will develop approximately 220,000 acres in South Texas. As ConocoPhillips transitions to a pure-play E&P company, the Eagle Ford asset affords geoscientists one of the best opportunities to impact the company while increasing their long-term professional worth.
