About this role

Chevron ENGINE seeks high-performing Technical Geophysicists to join the Earth Science team. The role delivers technical products supporting asset teams enterprise-wide across offshore, onshore, conventional, unconventional, exploration, and development settings.

Key tasks include seismic to well tie, Acoustic Impedance Inversion, Acoustic FD earth model building, Time2depth velocity modeling, and Depth uncertainty analysis. Additional duties cover Seismic data processing support, 4D and CCUS feasibility modeling, routine compliance tasks, and software compatibility testing.

Work effectively in a team environment with close coordination alongside Subsurface Platform Systems Engineers. Demonstrate strong communication skills among diverse technical experts and across geophysics domains.

Gain exposure to geophysical applications in oil and gas, with opportunities leveraging Petrel, DELFI, Hampson-Russell, Jason, ML/AI, and C# programming for reservoir characterization.

Requirements

MSc degree in Earth Science (Geophysics preferred) from recognised (AICTE) university
At least 5 years industry experience in technical geophysics including seismic interpretation, seismic-to-well tie, Acoustic Impedance inversion
Experience in acoustic FD earth model building, Time2depth velocity modeling, Depth uncertainty analysis
Fundamental knowledge of geophysical workflows applied to subsurface
Understanding of physical processes associated with earth science, reservoir modeling and subsurface
Broad knowledge in Time2Depth Velocity modeling, domain conversion, depth uncertainty quantification OR deep expertise in any
Experience with Petrel, DELFI; familiarity with Hampson-Russell, Jason, seismic processing software
C# programming skills or Ocean SDK experience

Responsibilities

Deliver seismic to well tie, Acoustic Impedance Inversion, Acoustic FD earth model building
Perform Time2depth velocity modeling, Depth uncertainty analysis
Provide Seismic data processing support, 4D and CCUS feasibility modeling and analysis
Execute routine compliance tasks and automated/manual software compatibility testing for system upgrades
Coordinate closely with Subsurface Platform Systems Engineers
Conduct Quantitative Interpretation including wells-to-seismic tie, wavelets extraction, rock physics modeling, AVO modeling
