GEOLOGISTS COAL BED METHANE

Brisbane, Queensland, Australia Exceptional opportunities in oil & gas.

Following recent expansion of Santos Coal Bed Methane (CBM) activities we have excellent opportunities to join the Santos CBM Team based in the Brisbane CBD. Opportunities are available for Development/Production, Exploration/Appraisal and Operations Geologists in a variety of roles. As a CBM Exploration/Appraisal Geologist you will specifically: Provide geoscience expertise in the identification, resource and risk assessment of the hydrocarbon potential of CBM prospects and appraisal in areas of responsibility. Locate and identify all available and relevant data and information necessary for field-wide and semi regional geoscience studies. Assist in identifying drilling and other delineation opportunities and prepare documentation for approval. Undertake geoscientific studies to address; quantify and mitigate the critical technical risk(s) associated with exploration and appraisal of CBM resources. Monitor drilling results, be onsite as required and assist in making operational recommendations concerning well evaluation. Ensure databases are kept up to date. Review post-drill results Prepare reports and present the results of work as required. Prepare and document gas in place and gas reserve estimates using mechanistic, deterministic and probabilistic methodologies as appropriate.

As a CBM Development/Production Geologist, you will specifically: Provide Development Geology input into the preparation of Field Development Plans in areas of responsibility. Design and oversee implementation of geological data acquisition and analysis programs (rock, gas and fluid samples; wireline logs, mudlogs) for CBM appraisal and development activities. Prepare and interpret of well cross sections using litho-stratigraphic and chrono-stratigraphic principles as appropriate. Interpret well results (wireline, flow testing, rock and fluid samples) and integrate with other data sets to generate or update sub-surface geological models. Interpret laboratory results from coal samples (gas content, proximate analysis, maceral analysis, vitrinite reflectance and other studies) to generate or update coal property maps. Prepare 3D static models for assigned fields incorporating all available data using appropriate geologic software. Assist in evaluating geological uncertainty in 3D static models and test sensitivities. Assist the geophysicist with structural mapping of CBM fields by providing well tops, correlations, fault and fracture interpretation. Prepare and document gas in place and gas reserve estimates using mechanistic, deterministic and probabilistic methodologies as appropriate.

As a CBM Operations Geologist, you will specifically: Be a focal point for Operations geology as it relates to existing and new development wells including support for drilling and work over activities for the Santos CBM fields. Be responsible for the geological data acquisition and analysis (core, gas content, etc) for all development activities. Provide quality assurance of geological and well data acquisition and reporting Optimise approach to development activities in conjunction with drilling, completions and connections teams, and production activity Monitor drilling results, be onsite as required and assist in making operational recommendations concerning well evaluation. Ensure databases are kept up to date. Review post-drill results Prepare reports and present the results of work as required.

Candidates are also expected to develop and maintain knowledge of geoscience methods as applied in the CBM industry; participate in Santos Peer Review and related processes, and be familiar with and apply Santos EHS management system and policies. Ideally, candidates for these positions will have, as a minimum, 4 year tertiary degree in Geoscience. Applications are invited from Geoscientists with varied experience levels and technical expertise in one or more of the key technical skill areas relevant to Santos CBM skills needs. If you are attending the EAGE Conference in Vienna (May 23-26), visit us at Booth 2170 Pavilion Hall B in Reed Messe Wien. We will also be in Aberdeen 30-31st May for presentations on our activities and vacancies. If you cannot visit us in Vienna of Aberdeen you can also obtain further information by calling Andrew Joss at +61 7 3838 5352.
