Job Family Summary

GEO-Generalist

The Generalist Job Family maintains the capabilities for a broad range of fundamental geological and geophysical skills that enable the community to create reliable, integrated interpretations that support business needs. The generalist has a broad range of technical roles including but not limited to: performing regional studies, evaluating new opportunities and farm-ins, opportunity generation, prospect maturation, reservoir characterization, drill well planning (exploration, appraisal, near field wildcat, infill), reservoir surveillance, work-over identification and farm-down to divestment activities. The generalist is expected to have the ability to comprehend and integrate knowledge, ideas and skills to solve geologic and geophysical problems across exploration, development, production and research functions.

Job Role Summary

The early capability generalist geoscientist is expected to develop a broad range of fundamental geoscience skills and the ability to comprehend, integrate knowledge, ideas and skills to solve geologic problems across exploration, development and production functions. Assignments will provide the opportunity to acquire these fundamental skills through on-the-job experience and training. Primary technical responsibilities will vary depending on job location – E/D/P/R and/or asset stage. Work quality and quantity, demonstrating leadership and mentoring activities are performance dimensions that are expected to expand in scope and breadth through time. Upon completion of the ECM, the expectation is that a geoscientist should have the skills, capabilities, and knowledge required to contribute independently to assignments irrespective of business stage. This also could include assignments focused on unconventional resources or oil sand projects. Skills required include the twenty three fundamental skills listed below (mostly Level 1-2) and a basic understanding of internal upstream business terminology, processes and systems. The profile is idealized, and there is variability on the proficiency level required to achieve the ECM. This knowledge will be obtained through a combination of on-the-job experience and basic training. Skills requiring a minimum of competent capability are based on core activities, for example, making and interpreting maps and cross sections from seismic and well data to support business decisions. The type of business decisions include prospect definition, reservoir models, evaluation of the resource associated with a work-over, etc. Employees are encouraged to take an active role in their skill and capability development to meet business needs and are encouraged to self-assess in as many skills and capability milestones as appropriate to accurately reflect their technical capabilities. See the GCO SharePoint for further documentation on career path and milestones.
