Supervise Quantitative interpretation, Poststack and prestack inversion for rock properties, seismic well ties
Integration of principles of AVO/AVA/AVAZ/VVAZ into the interpretation and resulted geological models
Seismic processing QC/QA with respect to the geological and technical targets and concepts
Time to depth conversion and application of velocity models as determined from VSP, sonic integrationand geological data and input to PreSDM velocity model building
Data management, loading of seismic data, well information, logs
Compilation of regular progress reports and project status
Preparation of high-quality maps and reports
Support for planning exploration targets and drilling.

Requirements :
MSc or PhD in Geophysics, Geology or a related discipline
