Location: Saudi Arabia
POSITION DESCRIPTION: Multiple elimination is an important process in the processing of seismic reflection data. Modern techniques firmly rooted to wave equation principles (SRME, etc.) are becoming the norm in the E&P industry. However, their applicability in land datasets is not always straightforward and requires innovative thinking and approaches. Saudi Aramco EXPEC Advanced Research Center (EXPEC ARC) is looking for a dynamic research geophysicist to work in the general area of seismic imaging with specific emphasis in the multiple elimination technology. The successful candidate is expected to do the following: combine and exploit conventional methodologies (Radon, etc.) for the processing of seismic reflection data, propose and investigate new and practical approaches for the identification and subsequent attenuation of both surface-related and internal multiples, research unconventional technologies related to both surface & internal multiples and develop production algorithms for use in the analysis of land and marine reflection seismic data, and report/present within Saudi Aramco as well as in international conferences & publications.
SELECTION CRITERIA: Ph.D. in Geophysics or related subject (Physics or Mathematics). Excellent programming knowledge (C, C++, etc.) on a modern computing environment (Linux). 10 or more years of relevant industry research / industry experience related to the processing of seismic reflection data is desirable but not a must. Effective communication and presentation skills. Ability to work independently as well as collaboratively in multi-disciplinary research teams. Results- oriented with plenty of enthusiasm and a keen interest in applied research. Ability to travel internationally. Mentor young researchers.
COMMENTS: The Saudi Aramco EXPEC Advanced Research Center (EXPEC ARC) provides an unrivalled environment for creativity and innovation in the upstream sector by creating new opportunities to find, develop, and produce hydrocarbon resources, developing cost-effective solutions to meet Saudi Aramco's unique upstream technological needs. It offers the successful applicant a unique workplace in which to further expand technical and professional skills underpinned by a strong commitment to training and personal development.
