Role Summary:
We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Geoscientist to play a key role in our pioneering carbon storage project. The successful candidate will be responsible for identifying, characterizing, and monitoring subsurface geological formations suitable for long-term CO₂ storage. This role requires deep expertise in geology, geochemistry, hydrogeology, and reservoir characterization, along with strong analytical and problem-solving skills. You will work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team to ensure the safe, efficient, and sustainable implementation of carbon storage solutions—contributing directly to climate change mitigation efforts.
Key Responsibilities
● Collect and analyze rock and water samples during drilling to assess key properties.
● Conduct geological and geochemical analysis to characterize storage reservoirs and caprock.
● Develop and update geological models for CO₂ injection and containment.
● Characterize the structural geology and identify potential fault/fracture systems as well as evaluate the integrity and sealing capacity of caprock formations.
● Support well design, placement, and performance monitoring.
● Monitor subsurface behavior using pressure, geochemical, and geophysical data.
● Identify and assess risks (leakage, induced seismicity etc) and develop and implement mitigation strategies.
● Prepare technical reports, maps, and presentations.
● Maintain accurate and organized geoscientific datasets.
● Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams across engineering, geophysics, and environmental science to integrate geological findings into project planning and execution.
● Contribute to the planning and design of injection and monitoring wells, considering geological constraints and reservoir characteristics
Qualifications:
● Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Geology, Geochemistry, Hydrogeology, or a related field.
● Experience: Minimum 3 years of experience in subsurface geology, preferably with exposure to carbon storage, geothermal, or similar projects.
Technical skills
● Fieldwork experience - sampling geothermal fluids. On site fluid analysis experience, including alkalinity titrations, strongly preferred.
● Strong attention to detail and dedication to delicate and precise fluid sampling, and handling of valuable field equipment.
● Ability to work effectively in a potentially remote or field-based environment as needed.
● Ability to interpret geologic data from well logs, visual analysis/microscopic interpretation of rocks and minerals, and knowledge of rift geology.
● Proficiency in interpreting geoscientific data using industry-standard software (e.g., Petrel, Kingdom, ArcGIS) and experience with well log analysis preferred.
● Knowledge of CO2 injection and storage processes and associated risks is highly desirable.
● Proficiency in geological modeling software (e.g., Petrel, GOCAD, etc) preferred.
● Possession of a valid driver’s license is required.
Additional Soft Skills
● Analytical thinking, problem-solving, report-writing skills and a solutions-oriented mindset.
● Ability to work both independently and collaboratively.
● Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively in a dynamic team environment.
