·       Develop initial reservoir targets for development drilling - Emphasis on the interpretation of seismic data as part of well planning and evaluation. Integrate work with reservoir studies and well operations teams to ensure development well targets are prepared and ready for drilling.
·       Assess, quantify and communicate geophysical risks to team members and management along with conclusions based on interpretations.
·       Build velocity and time-depth models for development area and field.
·       Structural and stratigraphic mapping of key horizons.
·       Coordinate/Conduct integration of work effort/studies on attribute analysis for input to the reservoir characterization modeling.
·       Plan and supervise pre-stack and post-stack seismic attribute processing and analysis for qualitative and quantitative reservoir description.
·       Application of AVO and AI concepts as part of the interpretation process, including normal incidence and offset domain modeling.
·       Oversee the seismic processing or re-processing work program
·       Provide subsurface support to well operations, including optimizing well casing setting depths, tops and optimum well placement.
