About this role

Unconventional Well Planning Geologist responsible for subsurface interpretation, target definition, and delivery of well planning products to support horizontal drilling programs. Role supports both planning and execution alignment with drilling teams. This position focuses on geosciences in earth science and exploration.

Correlate and refine target windows for horizontal well planning using logs, subsurface data, and offset wells. Develop and deliver well-planning products including target maps, structure maps, cross sections, and target window definitions. Identify geologic variability and communicate risks and constraints to execution teams.

Support drilling teams through pre-spud planning and execution alignment. Interface across multidisciplinary teams including drilling, completions, reservoir, and geoscience. Ensure seamless collaboration for optimal well outcomes.

Incorporate offset well results and lessons learned into future planning. Continuously improve well planning templates and targeting workflows. Ensure execution learnings are fed back into development decisions for ongoing enhancements.
