Geochemist

Technical Work

Coordinate and conduct geochemical studies required to be carried out as part of the exploration

maturation process to feed the new generation basin model. This includes geochemical input in basin

models in full cooperation and collaboration with other disciplines and integrating all geochemical data

with other geological and well data.

Initiate, interpret and advise geochemical analyses of fluids and rock samples needed to update basin

models.

Preparation, verification, validation and updating of all geochemical data for exploration purposes

specifically in preparation for Abu Dhabi basin modelling.

Review and integrate the results of previous geochemistry studies and basin modelling results and

identifies gaps or additional work that is required (e.g. geochemical analyses of fluid/rock samples to

constrain and/or to be integrated with petroleum systems models).

Prepare geochemistry input files needed to assess the potential of exploration targets in Abu Dhabi,

update petroleum system models and support the ADNOC Basin Modeller. The update should include

verification of previous data, integration of new data and testing of alternative scenarios.

Generate a montage for geochemistry per field, identify gaps and present routinely to the team.

QA/QC and data loading of all data, including, but not limited to: PVT data, mapping of Inert gases,

biomarker data collation and interpretation, oil-to-source correlations, Horner corrections of Temperature

data, literature search on deep gas geochemistry potential in Abu Dhabi.

Software & Tools to be Used.

RAPID, SPOTFIRE, advanced Excel etc.

Generic Accountabilities & Supervision

Plan, supervise and coordinate all activities in the assigned area to meet functional objectives.

Mentor, train, and develop assigned ADNOC staff in relevant skills to enable them to become proficient

on the job and deliver the respective business objectives.

Reports

Preparation of fit-for-purpose Technical Reports to the highest standards. All digital products (e.g. Petrel,

TechLog, PetroMod, Excel, PowerPoint, Word etc.) will be made available on the ADNOC Exploration

Shared Drive. Full documentation of the work undertaken will be completed, either as sections to ADNOC

reports or as separate reports.

Provide input to progress reports for Management

Minimum Qualification

Bachelor's degree in Geology with M.Sc. Geochemistry (PhD desirable, but not essential).

Minimum Experience & Knowledge & Skills

20+ years extensive experience in the application of geochemistry to basin modelling, lead, and

prospect maturation etc.

Preference for past experience in Abu Dhabi or the broader Middle East Region with in-depth

knowledge of relevant petroleum systems.

ADNOC is keen to have only highly experienced and industry-recognized experts to work on the project
