As a dynamic, growing company that offers extremely competitive compensation and benefits, our employees are our most valued assets and the foundation of Expand's performance among our E&P competitors.
We seek applicants from all backgrounds to ensure we get the best, most creative talent on our team. We realize that, historically, underrepresented groups feel the need to be 100% qualified in order to apply. If you meet any combination of our requirements, we encourage you to apply. We strive to hire people from a wide variety of backgrounds, not just because it's the right thing to do, but because it makes our company stronger.
Job Summary
The Corporate Development Geologist plays a critical role in evaluating and advancing the company's strategic growth initiatives by integrating geoscience expertise with advanced data analytics. This position supports mergers and acquisitions (M&A), asset evaluations, portfolio optimization, and new-venture screening across the energy value chain. The ideal candidate brings strong subsurface interpretation skills combined with the ability to leverage modern data science tools-including Python, machine learning workflows, and large-scale geospatial analysis-to generate actionable insights for investment decisions.
Job Duties & Responsibilities
  • Perform geological assessments of prospective acquisitions, divestitures, and joint ventures across conventional, unconventional, and emerging resource plays
  • Develop basin and play-level evaluations to support long-term corporate strategy and target screening
  • Build geological risk assessments and volumetric estimates to support valuations and economic modeling
  • Provide technical inputs for M&A financial models, including production forecasts, decline curves, type curves, reserves, and value-impact drivers
  • Collaborate with Corporate Development, Finance, Reservoir Engineering, and Data Science teams to synthesize geological insights into investment recommendations
  • Participate in diligence processes, including technical deep dives, data room reviews, and management team discussions
  • Prepare executive-level presentations summarizing the geologic rationale and value proposition of strategic opportunities
  • Interpret and integrate subsurface datasets (well logs, cores, seismic, production data, geochemistry) to assess reservoir quality, productivity, and uncertainty
  • Use Python, SQL, and analytics libraries (e.g., pandas, NumPy, SciPy, scikit-learn) to automate workflows, analyze datasets, and build predictive models
  • Apply machine learning techniques to streamline technical and financial valuations
  • Build tools and dashboards using Power BI, Spotfire, or similar platforms to visualize geological, engineering, commercial and public datasets
  • Integrate large geospatial datasets (GIS layers, satellite imagery, digital elevation models) to support valuation and regional assessments
  • Partner with engineering and operations to evaluate development scenarios, spacing/stacking potential, and reservoir performance
  • Contribute to strategy initiatives such as CCUS site screening, geothermal feasibility, critical minerals potential, or energy transition subsurface evaluations

Job Specific Skills
  • Strong technical proficiency with geological software (e.g., Petrel, Kingdom, ArcGIS, Petra)
  • Hands-on experience with Python for data analysis, automation, or modeling
  • Familiarity with statistical analysis, uncertainty quantification, and machine learning workflows
  • Ability to integrate geoscience insights with economic and commercial perspectives
  • Strong communication skills with experience presenting to executives or non-technical audiences
  • Ability to work across functions in a fast-pace, deal-oriented environment
  • Experience supporting M&A, corporate development, or asset A&D evaluations
  • Knowledge of SQL, cloud environments (Azure, AWS), and modern data pipelines
  • Experience building dashboards (Power BI, Spotfire, Tableau)
  • Background in unconventional reservoir evaluation, CCUS, geothermal, or emerging energy systems
  • Familiarity with decline curve analysis, type curve generation, and integration of geologic inputs into financial models

Education
Minimum: Bachelor's degree - from accredited university - Geology, Geophysics, Petrophysics, Earth Science or related field
Preferred: Master's degree - from accredited university - Geology, Geophysics, Petrophysics, Earth Science or related field
Experience
Minimum:
  • 8-12 years of experience in corporate development, exploration, reservoir characterization, or subsurface evaluation
