DNO ASA is looking for a Senior Reservoir Geologist to work in our Subsurface Team in Oslo.

The reservoir geologist will be joining an international and dynamic working environment alongside experienced, skilled and motivated colleagues. The position will be based in DNO's corporate Oslo headquarters within a team of geoscientists focused on the Kurdistan region of Iraq.

Key responsibilities:

• Conduct detailed geological analysis of fractured carbonate reservoirs to assess their production potential
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to support exploration, development, and production activities, optimizing reservoir performance and enhancing recovery strategies
• Integrate geological, geophysical, petrophysical, and engineering data to develop comprehensive conceptual reservoir models
• Create and maintain high-quality geomodels to capture reservoir characteristics, reservoir behaviour and subsurface uncertainty
• Seismic interpretation of compressional structures
• Appraisal/development well target definition and well planning inputs
• Supporting other teams for operational activities during drilling and testing if needed
• Post well geological evaluation
• Prepare comprehensive reports and presentations to communicate findings and recommendations to stakeholders
• Mentor junior geologists and provide guidance in best practices and innovative approaches to reservoir characterization
• Stay updated on industry trends and advancements in reservoir geology, modelling techniques and carbonate systems
