Geophysicist

Kelly Services has provided outstanding employment opportunities to the most talented individuals in the marketplace for over 60 years. Today, Kelly Science is searching for a GeoScientist and 3 Geophysicists to join our team at a Fortune 500 Oil and Gas Company in Spring, Texas for a long-term contract assignment.

Geophysicist / Geoscientist – Carbon Capture & Storage

An international oil & gas company is seeking experienced Geophysicists/Geoscientists to support carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) projects. The team is seeking experienced generalist geoscientists as well as a geomodeling-focused professional to support subsurface characterization, reservoir evaluation, and carbon storage development.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform integrated geological and geophysical interpretation using seismic, well logs, core, fluid, and regional geological data .
• Conduct structural and stratigraphic analysis and develop 3D reservoir characterization .
• Build and maintain geological frameworks to support reservoir and geomodeling activities.
• Evaluate CO2 storage potential, capacity, and volumetrics .
• Characterize faults, seals, confining zones, and other subsurface features that may impact carbon storage.
• Perform uncertainty analysis and develop scenarios to support subsurface decision-making.
• Support appraisal well planning and identify opportunities to reduce subsurface uncertainties.
• Integrate data across geology, geophysics, petrophysics, and reservoir engineering disciplines.
• Communicate technical findings, risks, and recommendations to subject-matter experts and project teams.
• Work independently and deliver high-quality technical results with limited day-to-day supervision.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of relevant geoscience experience; 10+ years preferred.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Geology, Geophysics, Earth Sciences, Petroleum Geoscience, or a related field preferred .
• Strong experience with subsurface interpretation, reservoir characterization, and integrated geoscience workflows.
• Proficiency with Petrel , including seismic interpretation, well ties, log correlation, structural interpretation, and geological framework development.
• Experience evaluating subsurface uncertainty, volumetrics, and geological risks.
• Strong understanding of structural geology, stratigraphy, fault interpretation, and reservoir characterization.
• Excellent analytical, communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to present technical findings and recommendations to experienced technical teams.

Additional Qualifications – Geomodeling

• Experience developing 3D geological/reservoir models .
• Experience building structural frameworks and performing property population.
• Knowledge of property population techniques, including variograms and modeling algorithms .
• Experience with scenario-based modeling and uncertainty analysis.
• Strong ability to integrate stratigraphy, structure, petrophysics, and geophysical interpretation.
