geologists are critical members of our reservoir management teams. Their primary
objective is to identify additional development and exploration opportunities, and improve
recovery from existing productive reservoirs. Geologists apply their skills and use state of
the art tools to map and describe reservoirs, participate in volumetric and reserves
estimations, and provide geoscience support to a fast-paced drilling and development
program.
If you feel you meet the required qualifications and would like to work in a challenging team
environment, we are interested in visiting with you.
