The Norway Projects and Engineering / Exploration and Subsurface teams comprise of internationally experienced individuals tasked with the maturation of discoveries and development opportunities on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. During the early development phase close cooperation between the Early Phase Projects and Exploration teams ensures subsurface and other project risks are identified and mitigated at an early stage, in addition to identification of potential opportunities.  In total the subsurface community in Wintershall Dea Norway comprises of more than 100 staff and consultants engaged in activities related to operated and partner-operated exploration, development and production assets. 
 
As a Senior Geophysicist you will report to a Subsurface Manager either in Early Phase projects or Exploration and Subsurface and can expect to:
  • Be part of an integrated multi-disciplinary team.
  • Responsible for the geophysical aspects of development of own operated projects from exploration to execution.
  • Perform seismic interpretation, seismic-to-well ties and depth conversion work for operated projects
  • Assist in well planning, data acquisition program and follow up of appraisal and development drilling
  • Be supported by the geophysical community (e.g. inversion and AVO studies)
  • Contribute to technical discussions related to seismic interpretation and reservoir modelling and collaborate efficiently with subsurface colleagues
  • Prepare high quality presentation material to be communicated to JV partners and internal stakeholders
  • Monitor and QC ongoing external Geophysical activities e.g.,  3rd party technical studies
