In production & operations, we find, develop and operate oil and gas resources and assets, as well as refineries, pipelines and terminals around the world.
Our vision is to become an industry-leading hydrocarbons business and the engine room of our integrated energy company.
Gas & low carbon energy (G&LCE) encompasses businesses, platforms and partnerships helping to deliver shareholder value and decarbonize our operations while positioning us for growth through the next decade.
Our organization also aims to:
Partner with bp’s businesses to provide integrated solutions and governance across our NOJV portfolio.
Lead the development of deep and enduring relationships with targeted strategic corporates and partners in service of bp’s businesses.
Ensure bp’s strategy, plans and wide-ranging activities in the US and China are unified and regionally integrated for value.
About the Role:
This is an opportunity for a motivated individual to join the agile, fast-paced and exciting integrated team that provides advisory on opportunities for Production Management, Depletion Management, and Area Development Planning to improve production and recovery from oil & gas fields.
As a Geologist in the G&LCE team, you will play a central technical role in interpreting, integrating, and communicating geological insights that drive reservoir management decisions. You will work closely with partners, bp subsurface specialists, and multi-disciplinary teams across India and global bp hubs.
This is a hands-on technical role suited to someone who brings strong geological fundamentals, thrives in collaborative environments, and enjoys shaping subsurface solutions for complex mature fields.
What you will deliver:
- As an individual technical contributor, working closely with other subsurface teams and other business units such as the Wells organization, you will deliver high-quality geological inputs to progress prioritized business opportunities.
- You will interpret and integrate core, well-log, seismic, analogue, and dynamic data (pressure, production etc.) to develop and refine the integrated structural, stratigraphic, depositional, rock property and fluid frameworks which underpin integrated subsurface products.
