As a high-end contributor in multi-disciplinary teams you will perform, lead and deliver the Geoscience components of integrated subsurface studies to drive and support business decisions.   

 

Assignments can involve combinations of the following: 

 

  • Deep understanding of reservoir architecture in depositional systems and experienced in a variety of depositional settings: Continental-Paralic-Shallow Marine-Deep Marine 
  • Develop depositional models that explain and predict distributions of reservoir facies and quality.  
  • Understand the value of subsurface and outcrop analogues and identify and select relevant analogues to enhance understanding 
  • Lead/perform reservoir quality, petrology, petrographic studies, identify relevant diagenetic processes and trends and their impact on reservoir quality. Incorporate results in reservoir characterization studies 
  • Interpret consistent 3D fault & horizon frameworks at a variety of scales (reservoir, field, basin scale) ​ 
  • Able to apply and combine a variety of interpretation techniques, flattening, spectral decomp, Paleoscan, visualization & volume interpretation​ 
  • Qualitative seismic attribute analysis and interpreting the resulting patterns to understand structural and stratigraphic features, seismic anomalies and artifacts​ 
  • Concepts of Velocity model building and depth conversion​ 
  • Knowledge of seismic inversion methods and types​ 
  • Contribute to CCS license application and approval

Cedric Fayemendy, Principal Geoscientist

Vår Energi is one of the leading oil and gas companies in Norway and a major supplier of gas to Europe.

At a time when stable access to energy is a crucial part of European security policy, we have a particular responsibility to contribute with energy to millions of Europeans. At the same time, we have committed to ambitious climate targets, extensively reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The challenges ahead are great. As are our ambitions. Working to supply energy has perhaps never been more important and meaningful than now.
