Staff Geoscientist

The Staff Geoscientist is a core technical member of the Subsurface Innovation team, a centralized team of geoscience and reservoir engineering subject matter experts who support Flywheel’s multi rig development program across the Eagle Ford, Anadarko, Piceance, and Fayetteville assets. You will be responsible for delivering high impact geoscience work that directly advances reservoir understanding, maximizes resource recovery, optimizes subsurface workflows, and identifies and progresses upside value creation opportunities.  

Key Responsibilities

• Perform advanced reservoir characterization integrating seismic, petrophysical, geomechanical, core, and production data to refine geologic models and support field development planning.
• Maintain up to date geology products for all four Flywheel assets including stratigraphic depositional interpretations, geo cellular models, and subsurface property maps.
• Drive data integration across geophysics, geomechanics, petrophysics, and production to reduce subsurface uncertainty and improve targeting accuracy.
• Lead or heavily contribute to fracture diagnostics interpretation (microseismic, DAS/fiber optics, chemical tracers, DFITs, pressure transient analysis) and translate results into actionable frac design improvements.
• Progress resources by exploring new prospects and developing appraisal strategies, including evaluating shallower or deeper stratigraphic intervals, new geographic areas, and assessing redevelopment potential in existing plays.
• Collaborate closely with asset teams, drilling, completions, operations, and facilities to pilot new technologies and scale successful workflows.
• Contribute to the team’s technology roadmap, best practice documentation, and continuous improvement of subsurface processes.

Qualifications

• Master of Science in Geology or Geoscience preferred.
• 10 years of experience in upstream oil & gas with a primary focus on unconventional shale development.
• Hands on experience with the full asset lifecycle of subsurface development.
• Proven ability to integrate geologic concepts with other subsurface subject areas including petrophysics, geophysics, and petroleum systems.
• Expertise in mapping, prospect identification, and resource evaluation.
• Demonstrated experience in reservoir characterization, fracture diagnostics, and multi disciplinary data integration.
• Strong analytical, problem solving, and communication skills; ability to clearly present complex technical work to both technical peers and leadership.
• Passion for innovation, data driven decision making, and a collaborative, high performance culture.
