• At Nestoil, we’re on an evolutionary journey where we’re changing our story. We are looking to hire an experienced Geologist to join our diverse team in Neconde Energy Limited.

In this role, you will provide geosciences support for Neconde OML-42 assets (fields and reservoirs) by providing up-to date reservoir descriptions, supporting quality estimates of hydrocarbon volumes and reserves, and participating in field development activities, exploration, and production optimization activities.

As a Geologist you will be responsible for:

• Interpreting seismic data to enable mapping of exploration opportunities and remapping of mature fields/reservoirs.
• Maintaining up-to-date structural and stratigraphic description of reservoirs including regional descriptions of reservoir systems.
• Developing a solid understanding of depositional environments and fault frameworks of fields and reservoirs.
• Maintaining up-to-date structural maps and reservoir property maps of assigned fields and reservoirs. Ensure that maps incorporate all available information, and that uncertainties in maps and estimates of original and remaining hydrocarbon in-place volumes are understood.
• Characterizing reservoirs and build geologic models for reservoir simulation using up to date tools and best practices.
• Participating in decision making during drilling and workover activities.
• Routine provision of geological insight into well and reservoir challenges towards resolving problems.
• Liaising with geophysicists to ensure new technologies are adopted to improve geologic interpretations of reservoirs.
• Working in multifunctional team to identify well drilling opportunities.
• Having a working knowledge of well log interpretation.
• Working seamlessly with Petroleum Engineers to optimize hydrocarbon resources and production in OML 42.

What are we looking for?

• Minimum B.Sc. (Minimum Second Class Upper) in Geology or related Geosciences from a reputable university. A Masters’ degree in Geology is preferred.
• All relevant Engineering Certifications.
•  Minimum 5+ years work experience in similar role.
• Ability to interpret Geologic features from seismic data.
• Good understanding of Niger Delta Geology and depositional settings.
• Competency in the use of suites of Geological software for interpretation, mapping, and reservoir modeling.
• Competency in the basic interpretation of well logs.
• Effective oral and written communication skills, including presentations.
• Self-motivated to learn and adopt new technologies and impart knowledge to others.
• Proactive analytical skills with attention to detail and process improvements.
• Ability to maintain records and prepare reports and correspondence.
• Excellent team player and ability to perform very well in a cross-functional work environment.
