Negotiable and competitive

Timeframe:

Immediate vacancies, but willing to wait for right candidate to join.

We have a wide range of projects, from regional studies to single-client interpretation at prospect/well scale. All our projects relate to sub-surface pressures, drawing on geosciences and engineering material/data. Oilfield data is our prime source of information for projects, coupled with regional geological knowledge and fluid/engineering principles governing rock behaviour. Our projects can involve travel to visit the client where needed, as the location of the data could be anywhere in the world. Training in pressure interpretation methods will be provided, as well as supervision of project work for the less experienced. GeoPressure Technology is part of Ikon Science, and the company uses mostly state-of-the-art proprietary software for the project development and delivery.
