DescriptionExceptional opportunities in Oil & Gas
Following recent expansion of Santos’ Coal Bed Methane (CBM) activities we have excellent opportunities to join the Santos’ CBM Team based in Brisbane CBD.

You will provide geoscience expertise in the identification, resource and risk assessment of the hydrocarbon potential of CBM prospects and fields, field development and drilling opportunities in areas of responsibility.

Specifically you will:

· Locate and identify all available and relevant data and information necessary for field-wide and semi regional geoscience studies.

· Conduct geoscientific studies including the building of reservoir models, to identify remaining hydrocarbon ‘prospectivity’ and development opportunities. Learn and use appropriate geo software.

· Assist in identifying drilling and other delineation opportunities and prepare documentation for approval.

· Undertake geoscientific studies to address, quantify and mitigate the critical technical risk(s).

· Monitor drilling results, be onsite as required and assist in making operational recommendations concerning well evaluation. Ensure databases are kept up to date.

· Participate in Santos Peer Review and related processes.

· Review post-drill results and update perceptions of remaining field potential and risk using Santos procedures and processes.

· Prepare reports and present the results of work as required.

· Develop and maintain a knowledge of geoscience methods as applied in the CSG industry.

· Be familiar with and apply Santos EHS management system and policies.
SkillsIdeally, you will have as a minimum a BSc Honours degree. Industry experience should involve field development, hydrocarbon exploration prospectivity analysis, play analysis and prospect generation, and a good understanding of risk and uncertainty assessment principles and practice. Applications are invited from geoscientists with varied experience levels and technical expertise in one or more of the key technical skill areas relevant to Santos CBM skills needs.
