Job description

Role: Exploration Geophysicist / Seismic Interpretation Specialist
Our Vision: RigUp is where the best workers power the world's most successful projects. We are united by a common mission: to deliver services and technology that fundamentally change how skilled workers and the businesses they serve get hard work done.
Job Description
We are seeking an experienced Exploration Geophysicist to support and enhance 2D, 3D, and borehole seismic acquisition and interpretation programs. This role is responsible for providing geophysical expertise to identify and evaluate exploration opportunities, generate prospects, and support drilling decisions through advanced seismic interpretation and subsurface analysis.
The successful candidate will work closely with multidisciplinary teams including geology, reservoir engineering, drilling, and external service providers to develop seismic acquisition strategies, interpret complex datasets, and deliver actionable recommendations that support exploration and development objectives.
This position requires strong technical expertise in seismic interpretation, prospect generation, petroleum systems analysis, and geoscience software applications.
Responsibilities
  • Support the planning, execution, and optimization of 2D, 3D, and borehole seismic acquisition programs.
  • Interpret seismic data to identify and evaluate exploration and appraisal opportunities.
  • Generate, mature, and rank exploration prospects and drilling targets.
  • Integrate seismic, geological, petrophysical, and well data to develop subsurface models and reduce exploration risk.
  • Perform structural and stratigraphic interpretation using modern geophysical workflows.
  • Evaluate exploration drilling opportunities utilizing seismic and other geophysical datasets.
  • Collaborate with geologists, engineers, and technical teams to support field development and exploration strategies.
  • Provide recommendations regarding seismic survey design, acquisition parameters, and processing requirements.
  • Conduct reservoir and petroleum systems evaluations to support prospect assessments.
  • Support formation evaluation and petrophysical analysis activities when required.
  • Present technical findings, prospect evaluations, and risk assessments to management and project teams.
  • Mentor junior geoscientists and contribute to technical development within the organization.
  • Maintain compliance with safety, environmental, and operational standards during field and project activities.
  • Interface with contractors, vendors, and technical consultants to ensure successful project execution.

Skills & Qualifications
Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Geophysics, Geology, Geoscience, or a related technical discipline.
  • Experience in exploration geophysics and seismic interpretation.
  • Strong understanding of 2D and 3D seismic acquisition, processing, and interpretation workflows.
  • Proven ability to identify, mature, and evaluate exploration prospects.
  • Experience evaluating exploration and appraisal drilling opportunities.
  • Advanced geophysical interpretation and subsurface mapping skills.
  • Strong understanding of petroleum geology and hydrocarbon systems.
  • Experience integrating seismic, well, geological, and petrophysical datasets.
  • Proficiency with industry-standard geoscience software, including Petrel and related interpretation platforms.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and technical communication skills.
  • Ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams and collaborate across technical functions.
  • Strong presentation, mentoring, and coaching abilities.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with borehole seismic surveys and advanced seismic acquisition programs.
  • Formation evaluation and petrophysical analysis experience.
  • Advanced petrophysical analysis skills in siliciclastic reservoirs.
  • Experience supporting exploration programs from prospect generation through drilling and appraisal.
  • Knowledge of regional petroleum systems and basin analysis.
  • Experience with geoscience computing applications and data management tools.
  • Master's degree in Geophysics, Geology, or a related discipline.

Experience
  • Typically 5+ years of experience in exploration geophysics, seismic interpretation, or related subsurface disciplines.
  • Demonstrated success in prospect generation, evaluation, and hydrocarbon discovery programs.
  • Experience working with multidisciplinary exploration and development teams.
