About bp:

bp Technical Solutions India (TSI) centre in Pune aims to build on bp’s existing engineering and technical strengths, to deliver high quality services to its hydrocarbons and new energy businesses worldwide. TSI brings together diverse engineering capability to provide technical services across a range of areas including engineering, maintenance, optimization, data processes, projects and subsurface, to deliver safe, affordable and lower emission energy, while continuously innovating how we work.  Global Subsurface Solutions (GSS) delivers high-quality, high impact, subsurface technical products to address prioritised business challenges across bp’s Production and Operations (P&O).

About the Role:

As a GSS geologist, you will have the opportunity to support activity across our global portfolio, on projects as diverse as resources progression in AGT, Egypt, and Asia Pacific regions, early field development offshore West Africa and modelling large-scale waterflood developments in the Caspian Sea and Middle East. You may work on clastic, deep-water, paralic, non-marine and carbonate reservoirs, supporting our hydrocarbon and low carbon businesses, and delivering new wells.

You will be deployed into one of our Reservoir Performance, Reserves. You will deep technical skills in geology and subsurface integration, alongside detailed appreciation of subsurface uncertainty and risk, to deliver: integrated subsurface descriptions, reservoir performance models, reserves estimates and well plans which all underpin resource progression and development planning bp’s global oil, gas and low carbon portfolio.

What will you deliver:

• As an individual technical contributor, working closely with other subsurface subject areas and other business units such as the the Project or Production organisation, you will deliver high-quality geological inputs to progress prioritised business opportunities.
• You will interpret and integrate core, well-log, seismic, analogue, and dynamic data (pressure, production etc.) to develop and refine the coordinated structural, stratigraphic, depositional, rock property and fluid frameworks · which underpin coordinated subsurface products.
• Your technical and business skills will enable you to develop appropriate subsurface scenarios, to characterise and communicate subsurface uncertainties and use this knowledge to plan and deliver ‘fit for purpose’ technical products.
• You will support the base management and reservoir management opportunities to improve economic recovery from existing infrastructure.
• Your ability to clearly communicate subsurface uncertainty to colleagues and business leaders will enable the development of appropriate risk management and mitigation plans.
• As a geologist in bp’s geological and subsurface communities you will coach, share standard methodology and seek to innovate to tackle technical and business problems.

Must have educational qualifications:

• A geology / geoscience degree from a recognised university.

Minimum years of relevant experience:

• Minimum of 8 years’ experience as a geologist in oil, gas or CCS exploration appraisal, development or production.

Must have experiences/skills:

• Excellent geoscience and subsurface interpretation skills, including interpretation workstation skills and seismic interpretation.
• Exposure in appraisal, development and production geoscience in oil and gas assets
• Ability to integrate diverse static and dynamic subsurface data
• Delivery of Integrated Subsurface Descriptions.
• Skilled in characterising and communicating subsurface uncertainty and risk
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.
• A highly collaborative, team-first ethos, and a confirmed track-record of personal delivery.

Good to have experiences/skills:

• Familiarity with Petrel.
• Contribution or exposure to the development or update of static and dynamic models.
• Broad exploration and well planning experience.
• Experience of working in diverse global teams and managing stakeholders
• Leading technical projects.
• Experience in probabilistic resource assessment and reservoir performance prediction
• Experience in Carbon Collection, Utilization and Storage
• Familiarity with agile working practices.

You will work with:

Your line manager will be the Geology Discipline Leader supporting the Unit within GSS.

You will work in Pune, India, but may be remotely deployed into a coordinated subsurface delivery ‘squad’ where day-to-day activities/deliverables will be prioritised by the squad leader. These GSS squads typically consist of 5-10 multi-disciplinary technical members in several locations and are deployed based on global subsurface business prioritisation

You will also work in close collaboration with subsurface in the country your squad supports, as well as with bp’s global subsurface technical specialists and domain authorities.
