Heavy Oil Geoscientist

Overview

Geoscientist driving heavy‑oil/in‑situ reservoir evaluation, development and production.

Key Responsibilities

• data integration
• reservoir management
• drilling ops
• pilot testing
• emerging tech
• geoscience evaluation

Tasks

-Integrate geological, geophysical, and petrophysical data to characterize reservoirs. -Contribute to future development projects, including well pad design, facility expansions, and debottlenecking, ensuring alignment with depletion strategy -The role is key to developing and producing heavy oil assets driving the development of future oil sands projects, planning and executing delineation programs, overseeing drilling operations, employing reservoir management strategies, and optimizing production from thermal recovery operations. -Support pilot testing and deployment of emerging technologies (e.g. solvent-assisted processes, enhanced recovery methods, digital tools). -Conduct geoscience evaluations to support in-situ and heavy oil development strategies. -Collaborate with asset and reservoir teams to evaluate reservoir behavior, identify enhancement opportunities, and refine development strategies.
