Tilenga and Kingfisher (OBO) oilfields developments are the Upstream component of the Lake Albert project, Uganda’s first oil development. There is no equivalent project of such an industrial drilling magnitude in a remote and sensitive area within the Company today. A Green Field Project, the Tilenga field, is to be found in a remote location in UGANDA near lake Albert with particularly sensitive environmental conditions. A challenging project: heavy and waxy oils produced from 29 drilling pads, (with some of them located in a national park) and treated in a Production Center of 200,000bopd oil capacity and 650,000 bld of water treatment capacity. Reservoir pressure maintenance is ensured either by water injection or by polymer water injection depending on the reservoir characteristics. The project also includes an extended interconnecting network with temperature preservation. Multicultural environment: Ugandan rules and regulations, administrative requirements, and technical authorizations as well as international codes for onshore plant will apply. Relationships with authorities, partners and stakeholders are key factors for the success of the project

Main Duties and Responsibilities:

• Participate the Well SORs preparation in close collaboration with the geophysicists, reservoir engineers, Operation Geology & drilling teams.
• During drilling operations, ensure the most appropriate support on geological interpretation to safely deliver the wells and achieve their objectives.
• Ensure good communication with Ops Geology, geophysicists, reservoir engineers and Drilling teams.
• Ensure the pertinence of the geological data and apply the best practice in managing these data, together with the Geoinformation team.
• Ensure the integration of the wells results during development drilling campaign; assess the impact for the following development wells design, update the reservoir models.
• Contribute to the documentation and reporting required by the Local Authorities.
• Propose continuous improvements on the way the team (2G) works.
• Coach less experienced Geologists
• Participate in the activities related to the geology of the non-operated assets.
• Follow up the geological-related studies carried by the Technical Line in HQ.

Qualifications & Experience:

• Minimum Bsc or Msc degree in Geology
• Minimum of 8 years of experience as reservoir geologist with experience in: geological & structural interpretation, reservoir characterization, structural & geological modeling, uncertainty analysis, and well Integration. Exposure to well preparation activities (Well SOR), follow up ofdrilling wells operations, log interpretation, petrophysical synthesis & modeling, studies of overburden/Cap Rock monitoring is a plus.
• Demonstrated team spirit, solidarity, good communication skills, commitment & efficiency, work in multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural teams Lead.
