REPORTING TO : Head of Sarawak South Project

DIVISION/DEPARTMENT : Malaysia Exploration Project - Sarawak South Project

LOCATION : KL Office

1. KEY OBJECTIVES

• As a member of a multi-discipline exploration team, complete regional studies and petroleum system assessments, which can be used to high grade leads and prospects in PTTEP Malaysia shelf PSC\'s and evaluate open blocks in Malaysia.
• Contribute to the development of a high quality, ready-to-drill prospect inventory, incorporating regional studies and cutting-edge technology.

• Mentor and develop junior Malaysian staff.

2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTABILITIES

• Carry out 3D and 2D seismic interpretation, including stratigraphic and trace attribute interpretation and mapping, including depth conversion to generate prospects and leads.
• Apply quantitative interpretation (QI) techniques such as seismic reservoir characterization and AVO analysis to optimize exploration, appraisal and development of hydrocarbon pools.
• Identify leads and mature suitable prospects to a ready-to-drill category. Provide technical input into well proposal and post-drill analysis. Liase with drilling and reservoir engineers to optimally plan well trajectories/well design for exploration and appraisal drilling.
• Integrate existing and new well and seismic interpretations into regional and prospect assessments and databases. Provide technical support to G&G Team in developing regional play, prospect risking and ranking.
• Provide input to reservoir delineation, resource assessment, geological modeling and field development planning.
• Plan and support seismic data acquisition and processing.
• Liaise with partners, regulatory bodies and contractors.
