Coal Geologist Specialist

Job Overview:

The successful candidate will be responsible for analyzing and interpreting geoscience data, building geological models, and generating multiple development scenarios. The role requires expertise in integrated interpretation of geo-science data, volumetric estimation, quality control, and cross-functional communications.

Key Responsibilities:

• Review and analyze stratigraphic/coal seam correlations, structural interpretation, and quality control of various geological & seam parameter maps.
• Build static geo-cellular models incorporating available data of the field.
• Perform volumetric estimation in multiple cases capturing the range of uncertainties.
• Quality control of map-based & model-based OGIIP estimations.
• Generate alternate development scenarios with respect to well type, spacing, etc.
• Review geological prognosis and well trajectories for development drilling.
• Support Ops Geology team during geo-steering/drilling operations and provide operational decisions as required.
• Provide technical inputs for business development plans.
• Responsible for planning and acquiring geological data to bridge data gaps and reduce uncertainty through enhanced field understanding.
• Support pre- and post-drill geo-mechanical analysis.
• Support RE team during dynamic simulation.
• Quality control of onsite & lab measurements on cores for coal characterization.
• Evaluate CBM data packages from regulatory bodies or prospective sellers for block acquisition/farming-in.
• Review and quality control of subsurface deliverables from third-party/SME studies.
• Generate integrated subsurface descriptions and risk/uncertainty matrices.
• Responsible for cross-functional communications with Projects, FC&A, P&C, D&C, etc., for all planning and execution related to Operations and Development.
• Review scope of works and technical evaluation/recommendation for procuring materials/services of Sub-surface.

Requirements:

Master's degree in Geology (M.Sc / M.Tech) or PhD in Geology.

A minimum of 8-12 years of relevant experience in the industry working on interpretation, geo-modelling, well planning, and operations.
