Description
Our purpose is to deliver energy to the world today and tomorrow. This role will be crucial in leveraging advanced geophysical techniques to identify and de-risk exploration prospects, optimize resource development, and ensure safe and efficient subsurface operations.
This is a high-impact role focused on generating ideas, building high-quality prospects, and driving exploration decisions in one of our most strategically important basins. You will be joining a multidisciplinary bp Exploration Team based in Baku Xazar Centre office, Azerbaijan.
Key Accountabilities:
- Lead activities in a multi-disciplinary team - combine disciplines to build coherent subsurface models and reduce uncertainty through integration, ensuring effective collaboration with geoscientists, reservoir engineers, and drilling teams.
- Generate exploration ideas - develop and mature new play concepts, leads, and prospects across the Caspian portfolio and wider in the region
- Deliver drill-ready opportunities - deliver clear, integrated prospect descriptions with robust risking and volumetrics
- Deliver regional descriptions - apply basin and play understanding to unlock new opportunities and strengthen the exploration hopper.
- Develop and integrate depositional and stratigraphic frameworks to enhance subsurface understanding and reduce uncertainty.
- Perform seismic stratigraphic and structural interpretations to define play concepts and delineate traps.
- Coach and develop others - support and mentor junior geoscientists, raising overall team capability
- Influence decisions - present clear technical recommendations to senior stakeholders and partners to make informed decisions
Job Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree or higher in Geophysics, Geology, or a related Earth Science discipline, Master degree preferred.
- Strong experience in prospect generation and maturation
- Experience in Basin Analysis and hydrocarbon play evaluation
- Strong seismic interpretation capability and integrated geoscience mindset
- Proficiency in Seismic Stratigraphic Interpretation and Seismic Structural Interpretation.
- Understanding of Depositional Frameworks and Stratigraphic Frameworks.
- Awareness of Petrophysical Seismic Reservoir Characterization.
- Background in Caspian or analogous basins preferred
- Skills in Seismic Analysis, including seismic processing, inversion, and attribute interpretation.
- Proficiency with tools such as Petrel (or equivalent)
- Analytical skills with the ability to assess and manage Subsurface Uncertainty and Risk.
- Strong communication, collaboration, and presentation skills.
- Good people skills - collaborative, credible, and able to mentor others
Why this role matters:
You will be directly contributing to:
- Refreshing and expanding the AGT exploration portfolio
- Improving prospect quality and drilling success
- Bringing new ideas into a mature but still high-potential basin
- Generating new play ideas in less explored basins.
