Department: Geosteering Operations
Location: Spring, TX
Reports To: In-House Geosteering Supervisor
Date: 8/11/2025
Version: 1.0
Position Overview
Step into a role where your expertise shapes decisions in real time. As an In-House Geosteering & Operations Geologist with Impac Exploration Services, Inc., you’ll be embedded within the operations geology group of a major energy operator at their state-of-the-art corporate campus in Spring, TX.
You won’t just monitor wells from a distance — you’ll sit at the center of the action, collaborating with drilling engineers, directional drillers, and geology peers in a Pod environment designed for fast, precise decision-making.
This is more than a job. It’s an opportunity to:
Influence the outcome of high-value drilling projects in real time.
Gain unmatched visibility into the inner workings of a major operator’s drilling program.
Build a career foundation in both geosteering and broader operational geology.
Key Responsibilities
Provide real-time geosteering guidance to optimize wellbore placement, working closely with drilling and directional teams.
Master and adhere to the operator’s established Standard Operating Procedures.
Thrive in Pod-style team structures, ensuring seamless coordination between geology and drilling functions.
Tackle geological side projects, special studies, and operational initiatives during non-drilling intervals.
Integrate geological interpretation into drilling decisions, proactively recommending adjustments to improve performance.
Uphold rigorous QA/QC standards for all geosteering and geological analyses.
Use cross sections to anticipate casing points, coring intervals, and landing point changes.
Stay agile in responding to shifting priorities and operational demands.
Qualifications
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Geology, Geophysics, or related field.
Prior experience in geosteering or operations geology preferred.
Strong grasp of drilling operations and the integration of geological interpretations with drilling dynamics.
Experience in collaborative, high-performance team settings.
Proficiency with geosteering software and geological databases; quick learner with new tools.
Strong analytical, problem-solving, and multitasking abilities.
Authorized to work in the U.S. and able to relocate or commute to Spring, TX.
Work Environment & Schedule
On-site at a major operator’s corporate campus in Spring, TX.
Rotational schedule: 2 weeks on / 2 weeks off, alternating between day and night shifts.
Reporting Structure
Reports to the In-House Geosteering Supervisor, contributing to a fully integrated team focused on drilling excellence and operational performance.
Why This Role Stands Out:
You’ll be in the room where high-stakes drilling decisions happen — working alongside the people who set the pace for some of the most technically advanced wells in the world. This is your chance to develop as both a geoscientist and a strategist, in an environment where precision, speed, and insight are the currency of success.
