Geoscientist - Biostratigrapher
Core
Conduct taxonomic and bio-stratigraphic studies of planktonic and benthic foraminifera to determine age and paleo-environment, building integrated chronostratigraphic frameworks.
Role type
Senior IC biostratigrapher (micropaleontology)
Builds
Integrated chronostratigraphic frameworks for upstream oil and gas exploration
Domain
Energy (Upstream) / Micropaleontology / Stratigraphy
Deliverable
production ML models | product features | dashboards & analysis | research | client delivery | infrastructure | physical/clinical work
Required skills
Cenozoic and Mesozoic planktonic foraminifer taxonomy, benthic foraminifer ecology, microscopy analysis of well cutting/core/outcrop/residue/thin section, biostratigraphic data evaluation, integration of micropaleontologic data with wireline logs/core descriptions/seismic data, stratigraphic correlation, sequence stratigraphy analysis
Preferred skills
Calcareous nannofossils and palynomorphs expertise, sedimentology, chemo-stratigraphy, seismic interpretation, well-log analysis
Technologies
Microscopes, wireline logs, core descriptions, seismic data
Responsibilities
Conduct taxonomic and bio-stratigraphic study of foraminifera; Generate raw data and collaborate with specialists to build integrated chronostratigraphic frameworks; Collaborate with geoscientists for geologic data integration and stratigraphic correlation; Effectively conduct microscopy analysis of various sample types as daily routine; Evaluate biostratigraphic data from various sources and geographic regions; Integrate micropaleontologic data with wireline logs, core descriptions, and seismic data; Perform stratigraphic correlation and sequence stratigraphy analysis to develop region-specific frameworks
