Geology Manager

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:Organization and coordination of basin modeling activities within the Company’s portfolio of existing assets, adjacent areas, and regional studies aimed at identifying and preparing prospects for licensing.Development of plans, objectives, scope, and prioritization of basin modeling activities in line with the Company’s business needs.Development and continuous improvement of basin modeling methodologies, including unified approaches to building conceptual basin models (geological, tectonic, stratigraphic, sedimentological, geochemical, and heat flow models).Assessment of key modeling parameter uncertainties and organization of scenario analyses to define the range of possible outcomes.Ensuring integration of geological, geophysical, geochemical, petrophysical, and other datasets into a unified petroleum system model.Interpretation of modeling results to determine timing of hydrocarbon generation, migration pathways, trap filling efficiency, synchronization of generation–migration–trapping–sealing processes, and risks related to hydrocarbon preservation.Organization and oversight of play-based exploration activities, ranking of prospects, assessment of exploration potential, and preparation of recommendations on new exploration opportunities.Preparation of technical conclusions and recommendations regarding prioritization of seismic surveys, drilling activities, asset re-evaluation, license acquisition, and further geological studies.Development of terms of reference, work programs, budget estimates, and deliverable requirements for internal teams and external contractors.Providing technical supervision of basin modeling contractors and consultants; monitoring timelines, work quality, and acceptance of deliverables.Presentation of basin modeling results to technical committees, Company management, partners, and other stakeholders.Acquisition of additional data and specialized studies required to reduce geological uncertainties.Supporting professional development of team specialists, providing methodological support and mentoring junior professionals.REQUIREMENTS:Higher technical education: Bachelor’s degree in Geology, Geophysics, or Petrophysics.10+ years of professional experience, including at least 5 years of hands-on experience in basin modeling (petroleum systems analysis), geological modeling, or regional geology of hydrocarbon-bearing basins.SKILLS:Knowledge of the geology of the Dnieper–Donets Basin (tectonics, depositional environments, source rocks, etc.).In-depth understanding of key petroleum system elements: hydrocarbon generation, migration, and accumulation processes; play fairway analysis principles; and geological uncertainties and risks.Knowledge of structural geology, tectonics, sedimentology, and sequence stratigraphy, and their application in petroleum system modeling.Understanding of geological and geophysical subsurface investigation methods, principles of their application, data processing, interpretation, and integration.Skills in structural interpretation and development of tectono-sedimentological models.Knowledge of international approaches (PRMS) to assessment and classification of prospective resources and reserves.Ability to analyze large volumes of geological data, prepare technical reports and presentations, and substantiate conclusions.Project management experience and contractor coordination skills are considered an advantage.
