Job Purpose

Geophysicist (GSC/S) is responsible for the execution of technical workflows, QA/QC, supervision of junior staff and project management.

Key Accountabilities

• Carrying out seismic data processing project work, identifying and solving moderate geophysical problems independently, and working with Project Leader for complex geophysical problems.

• Developing and optimizing some processing steps in projects, managing, preparing and ensuring quality control of geosciences data to support team projects.

• Performing time processing and depth imaging of 2D and 3D land and marine seismic data (including generation of processing flows, parameter testing, velocity interpretation and model building).

• Preparing, running, and managing production migration, tomography and other processing workflows on the company computer system and resolving any issues that may arise during production run.

• Ensuring quality of seismic products deliver to clients is good quality and preparing project reports and presentations, and participating in project meetings

• Communicating with asset team and geophysicist on project matters, supervising other processing/depth imaging staff to complete their project work and assisting the team leader to manage team projects

• Reporting to Project Leader or above and perform other related tasks as assigned by the team leader/project leader

• Supervising and QC all out-house seismic processing projects

• Guiding junior processing geophysicists, evaluate new algorithmic updates or software modules, and streamline production workflows.

Professional Knowledge & Experiences

Educational Background

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Geophysics, or related geoscience discipline.

Professional Experience

• Experience in seismic imaging with good general geological knowledge and exploration & development geophysics in Oil & Gas or related industry.

• 3-5 years of hands-on experience directly running seismic processing projects in deep/ shallow marine, land, or OBN.

Technical Knowledge

• In-depth understanding of acoustic and elastic wave theory, ray tracing, wave equation propagation, and seismic anisotropy (VTI/TTI).

• Practical knowledge of pre-processing, migration algorithms such as Kirchhoff, Reverse Time Migration (RTM), and/or Least-Squares migration techniques.

• Understanding in high-density velocity analysis, grid tomography, anisotropic parameter estimation, and Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) workflows.

• Awareness in AVO/QI Compliant Processing: Thorough comprehension of amplitude-preserving flows, phase preservation, spatial sampling/regularization, and wavelet processing.
