Job is available in these locations:	Houston, Texas, USA
Overview External:	Chevron Corporation is one of the world’s leading integrated energy companies with subsidiaries that conduct business across the globe. The company’s success is driven by the ingenuity and commitment of approximately 62,000 employees who operate across the energy spectrum. Chevron explores for, produces and transports crude oil and natural gas; refines, markets and distributes transportation fuels and other energy products and services; manufactures and sells petrochemical products; generates power and produces geothermal energy; and develops and commercializes the energy resources of the future, including biofuels and other renewables.

The Mid-Continent Business Unit has reserves/resources booked for CO2 flooding potential which is key in the overall growth of the business unit. The projects are a mix of expansions in existing CO2 fields (6 company owned and operated fields) and new green field developments throughout the Permian Basin, primarily in carbonate reservoirs. MCBU is a critical location for developing Organizational Capability (OC) in CO2 flooding as it will support and provide essential OC as CO2 flooding technology is applied in other business units. Project work will include both large and small scale projects incorporating data from well logs, seismic, mapped surfaces and other data sources (cores, pressures, etc).
Position Details:	Responsibilities for this position may include but are not limited to: Work on a variety of carbonate and eolian/fluvial CO2 and waterflood projects with a cross functional team (based in Houston, Midland, and Rangely) including individuals from Energy Technology Company (ETC) and the Applied Reservoir Management Team (ARM).  Provide detailed reservoir characterization, in some cases leading to structural and stratigraphic 3D modeling for original oil in place (OOIP) and original gas in place (OGIP) calculations, reservoir visualization, opportunity identification, and input to fluid-flow simulations.  Required Qualifications: A Master’s Degree in Geology. A Bachelor's Degree with adequate relevant industry experience may be considered. A minimum of 5 years of industry related experience. Must be fluent with development geology work processes and data integration including structural mapping, stratigraphic and seismic interpretation, well and production data analysis and integration, petrophysics, core analyses, fluids, and pressures, to characterize and evaluate reservoirs.  A senior, more experienced Earth Scientist is required due to the project management expectation for multiple fields, the highly complex nature of the reservoirs, the amount of mentoring expected, cross-functional knowledge, and a desire for timely and accurate reservoir characterization for effective management of the CO2 floods.  Knowledge of interpretation and mapping software for detailed Reservoir Characterization - both PC and UNIX based: Petra, Geolog, and EPOS.  Eolian experience. Proven ability to work in a cross-functional team to perform detailed subsurface assessments, reservoir management plans, and development proposals.  Demonstrated ability handling multiple tasks simultaneously.  Good communication skills, both verbal and written.  Experience to play a key role in mentoring less experienced earth scientists.
