Candidate Profile: - The successful candidate would be working in a multidisciplinary group of professionals involved in the identification of new deepwater acreage for capture, comparison regionally and globally to other deepwater opportunities, as well as detailed evaluation and assessment of new exploration opportunities. - The position is best suited for a candidate who is a motivated, high-energy individual wishing to advance their overall knowledge in global geology as well as gain some exposure to Talisman's International business. - The position requires a working knowledge of petroleum economics, related to deepwater developments and drilling. - This position is Calgary based with expectations to be available for international travel. Additional Information: - Only candidates who are legally permitted to work in Canada will be considered - Relocation will be provided for the successful candidates if required

Job Description

- A demonstrated track record of 5+ years of bringing the most recent advances in deepwater interpretation and evaluation and applying along with excellent technical judgment in data rooms as well as regional evaluations. - The position requires the ability to quickly collect and synthesize regional geologic data to create play fairway maps in order to high grade the hydrocarbon potential of a basin, often under time pressure in a data room setting; - To be comfortable and effective working with varying degrees of data coverage; to identify and generate high quality opportunities for investment consideration; and to balance sound business judgment with excellent technical skills. - Experience in creating and guiding team members to development of exploration strategies is a requirement. The position requires mentorship of less experienced team members in seismic interpretation.
