Job Description
Purpose of Role

Perform production and development geology duties on producing fields in one of our core asset areas in the UK1 (Northern North Sea) subsurface team. Work closely with the field geophysicist and exploitation engineer to maintain production, and seek opportunities for growth through generating and evaluating options for in-field drilling, near-field exploration, assessing the suitability of and application of new recovery techniques, and bringing existing prospects to production.
The role is key to the success of the team and leadership/coordinating responsibilities are expected, including preparation of work schedules and plans, and the ability to lead projects as required.
The North Sea is a growth area where CNR is expanding activity over the coming years through both increased drilling and asset purchases. Work on evaluating acquisition opportunities is therefore to be expected.
