:Geological Studies· Plan and drive exploration geological studies, specifically focused on the update of the conventional portfolio, and tight and deep oil & gas reservoir play maturation. This includes well log interpretations in close cooperation with the Petrophysicists, well log correlations, preparation of regional reservoir property maps, play maps, prospect maps and other maps, regional play evaluations, prospect ranking and maturation studies, basin analysis and geochemical studies, exploration well proposals, proposals for snapshots, volumetric assessments, etc., all in full cooperation with other disciplines and integrating all petroleum engineering, geological and well data.· Propose and justify data gathering activities such as the acquisition of cores, pressure measurements and wireline logs in exploration wells and snapshots or seismic or other geophysical data. This includes proposals for deepening of development wells to explore the hydrocarbon potential of deeper horizons and tight oil reservoirs.· Define contracted conventional and special core analysis related to reservoir geology. This includes defining scope of the analysis requirements, preparing specifications, evaluating bids and recommending final award and contract features as assigned.· Ensure contractors’ compliance with contract terms and schedules and monitors progress and performance through regular activity reports.· Liaise with suppliers of geological software, staying up-to-date with the latest software developments and new technologies which are of potential value to the Unit and to attend conferences, seminars and to review technical periodicals.· Develop regular management reports such as the weekly highlights, weekly action points, daily exploration well drilling reports, etc.· Recommend the acquisition of new software and hardware related to exploration geology. Participate in the preparation of justifications for these acquisitions.Geological Prognosis & Well Programs· Prepare geological prognosis and ensure well programs for drilling from 'spud in' stage to final completion are in line with the Company's objectives and carries out regular follow-up to ensure these are implemented effectively.· Plan and supervise the execution to evaluate full field potential. Coordinate well block research and evaluation, supervise geological operations to collection data in order to build up a full picture of each well, its potential and to carry out such analysis. Compile studies, analyze and develop reports presenting a full analytical picture of all areas of the filed.· Coordinate data basis for Geological & Geophysical studies to enhance understanding of exploration prospects. Plan and lead highly specialized studies; prepare scope of work; recommend assignment of work to Company or consultant specialists; participate and monitor and follow up on such studies ensuring alignment with approved scope of work.· Contribute to develop Company's short and long term exploration plans and programs.· Ensure timely and accurate delivery of comprehensive geological information for well programme preparation from 'spudding in' to the completion of all well activities including, incorporate tools required to geo-steering and monitors wells while being drilled, predict target depths (i.e. coring, casing/liner, logging and landing and total depths), compiling geological data sheet, well profile and drilling progress chart for each well.· Co-ordinate and supervise coring and logging operations including mobilization of coring and mud logging crew and equipment. Ensure through company drilling representatives and service contractor's personnel that the geological prognosis and well objectives are fully implemented and completed.· Prepares geological prognosis and identifies geological uncertainties. Participates in Well planning considerable judgment in preparing geological drilling programsSupervision· Plan, supervise and coordinate all activities in the assigned area to meet functional objectives.· Train and develop the assigned staff on relevant skills to enable them to become proficient on the job and deliver the respective section objectives.Budgets· Provide input for preparation of the functional budgets and assist in the implementation of the approved Budget and work plans to deliver Section objectives.· Investigate and highlight any significant variances to support effective performance and cost control.Policies, Systems, Processes & Procedures· Implement approved Department policies, processes, systems, standards and procedures in order to support execution of the Department work programs in line with Company and International standards.Performance Management· Contribute to the achievement of the approved Performance Objectives for the function in line with the Company Performance framework.Innovation and Continuous Improvement· Design and implement new tools and techniques to improve the quality and efficiency of operational processes.· Identify improvements in internal processes against best practices in pursuit of greater efficiency in line with best Industry standards in order to define intelligent solutions for issues confronting the function.Health, Safety, Environment (HSE) and Sustainability· Comply with relevant HSE policies, procedures & controls and applicable legislation and sustainability guidelines in line with international standards, best practices and client Code of Practices.Reports· Provide inputs to prepare Section MIS and progress reports for Company Management.
