Maersk Oil produces in the range of 200,000 barrels of oil per day and 700 million cubic feet of gas a day from the Danish North Sea. The Tyra Centre assets comprise oil and gas producing Danian and Maastrichtian chalk fields, gas producing Middle Jurassic sandstones and oil producing tight Lower Cretaceous limestones with varying applications of stimulation and completion technology. The field maturity range from yet undeveloped fields, including HPHT sand reservoirs, to fields with some 25 years production history requiring evaluation of secondary recovery. In addition, several third party tie-in opportunities are being pursued. 

The Position
The successful candidate will fill a key position in an experienced, highly professional and demanding team and will thus possess strong static modelling skills and have a broad experience in operations and field development planning.

Responsibilities include:

• Initiating reservoir studies, actively ensuring that the geological and static models are robust and address the reservoir complexity
• Ensuring that geological understanding is integrated when making decisions regarding well placement, completion, reservoir management and further development activities
• Uncertainty analysis for mapping, modelling and reserves calculations, using geostatistical approaches
• Ensuring effective cooperation with external and internal parties through proficient coordination and communication
• Planning, optimizing and coordinating field development activities
• Proactively identifying and implementing improvements to current workflows and processes 
• Pursuing scope for increased oil recovery in the short, medium and long term.
• Mentor less experienced geoscience staff.

The Person 

• Self-starter with strong organization, analytical and communication skills
• Prior experience with and desire to work in a multidisciplinary environment
• Fluency in written and spoken technical English
• MSc. level or higher in Geology
• Proficiency in creation of 3D cellular geological models (Petrel experience preferred) from multi well data sets
• Able to provide fully integrated geological models for use in reservoir simulation, and to describe model uncertainties and limits to team members

More than ten years of upstream industry experience, either with an operating company or as a consultant

About the company:
Maersk Oil Maersk Olie og Gas AS (Maersk Oil) is owned by A.P. Møller – Maersk A/S, and is part of the A.P. Moller – Maersk Group. Maersk Oil was established in 1962, when Mr A.P. Møller was awarded the Concession for oil and gas exploration and production in Denmark. In 2003, the concession period was extended from 2012 until 2042 and terms and conditions were adjusted as of 1 January 2004. Today, Maersk Oil is a midsize international oil and gas company operating an oil production of about 600,000 barrels per day and a gas production of up to some 1,000 million cubic feet per day. The company has a net equity production exceeding 500,000 barrels of oil equivalents per day from fields in the Danish and British part of the North Sea, offshore Qatar, in Algeria and in Kazakhstan. Activities are ongoing in, among others, the Danish, British and Norwegian sectors of the North Sea, Qatar, Algeria, Angola, Kazakhstan, Oman, Brazil and the US Gulf of Mexico. Maersk Oil has been amongst the leaders in developing solutions tailored to meet the North Sea challenges. The main part of Maersk Oil’s operated production is from low permeability, high porosity chalk and limestone reservoirs, which prior to the 1980’s were deemed unattractive due to low production rates. Innovative application of advanced seismic processing techniques as part of a comprehensive state-of-the-art reservoir characterization, combined with ultra long horizontal drilling (up to 12 kilometres) as well as Maersk Oil’s completion and stimulation technology of the horizontal wells, have been the key to the technical success in developing these chalk fields. In addition, attention to health and safety, a strong respect for the environment and a cost conscious operation have made Maersk Oil grow to become one of the world's top 25 independent oil and gas producing companies. It is Maersk Oil's strategic intent to continue this growth. The company believes that this can be achieved by fully utilizing the potential of existing production areas and establishing and growing material business in new areas.
