COMPANY PROFILE
Diversified Gas & Oil Corporation ("DGOC") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Diversified Energy Company PLC, a US-based company listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and London Stock Exchange (LSE) under the ticker symbol "DEC". Diversified Gas & Oil Corporation (DGOC) is an established owner and operator of producing conventional and unconventional natural gas & oil wells and midstream pipelines and compression stations concentrated in the Appalachian Basin in the United States.

In 2021, Diversified announced our expansion into our Central Regional Focus Area, which includes producing areas within Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.
POSITION SUMMARY & RESPONSIBILITIES:
This is a fast-paced environment, requiring informed decision-making with limited or incomplete data. This role will support subsurface evaluation, development planning, drilling operations, non-operated asset management, and acquisition and divestiture activities while working closely with multidisciplinary teams across the organization.
  • Collaborate with Reservoir Engineering, Production Engineering, Drilling & Completions, and Land teams to identify, prioritize, and execute drilling and development opportunities.
  • Develop geologic interpretations, well proposals, prognoses, and subsurface evaluations to support field development, near-field exploration, and acquisitions & divestiture efforts.
  • Support the planning, drilling, geosteering, and post-well evaluation of vertical and horizontal wells in both conventional and unconventional reservoirs.
  • Evaluate operated and non-operated assets, track non-op activity and elections, and provide technical recommendations to support business and operational decisions.
  • Identify bypassed pay, uphole potential, infill opportunities, and enhanced recovery applications, including waterflood and CO₂ flood projects.
  • Perform integrated geological, petrophysical, geophysical, and production analyses to optimize reservoir development and resource recovery.
  • Ingest, maintain, quality-control, and analyze large geological and operational datasets to support subsurface interpretations and strategic decision-making.
  • Support acquisition and divestiture evaluations through technical assessments, data reviews, reserves analysis, and opportunity identification.
  • Utilize and promote best practices in subsurface software, workflows, and data management to improve efficiency, collaboration, and decision quality.
  • Effectively communicate technical findings and recommendations across multidisciplinary teams in a fast-paced environment where decisions are often made with limited data.

POSITION REQUIREMENTS:
  • 10+ years of experience focused primarily on Oklahoma, including the Anadarko Basin, STACK, SCOOP, and Western Anadarko. Experience in the Appalachian Basin, Permian Basin, or East Texas/North Louisiana is preferred
  • Broad experience in operations, development and exploration geology, with focus on unconventional reservoir evaluation and development.
  • Recent Petra experience is necessary, and proficiency in ArcGIS and Danomics is preferred.
  • The candidate should have a strong understanding of petrophysical and geophysical workflows, experience in unconventional plays, and a proven track record of planning, drilling, and evaluating vertical and horizontal wells.
  • Experience in conventional fields is a plus.
  • Experience identifying bypassed pay or uphole potential, and familiarity with secondary and tertiary recovery methods-such as water floods and CO2 gas floods-is a plus.
    • Must be comfortable with multitasking, contributing to multiple projects and prioritizing on the fly.
  • Proficiency with Petra, ArcGIS, and/or Danomics
  • Strong analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills.

Office Physical Requirements and Working Conditions:
  • Prolonged periods working at a desk in front of a computer.

Additional Requirements:
  • Must be able to lift up to 15 pounds at a time.
