Remote Senior Data Scientist - Reservoir Analytics

About the Role

Our client is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Data Scientist to lead their remote reservoir analytics initiatives. This role is instrumental in leveraging advanced statistical and machine learning techniques to extract actionable insights from vast geological, geophysical, and production datasets. You will develop predictive models, optimize reservoir performance analysis, and drive data-driven decision-making for exploration and production strategies. This is an exceptional opportunity for a data science leader to work autonomously from anywhere within the UK, shaping the future of reservoir management in the Oil & Gas industry.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and deploy advanced machine learning models for reservoir characterization, prediction, and optimization.
• Analyze large, complex datasets from various sources (seismic, logs, production, core data).
• Design and implement data pipelines for efficient data ingestion, cleaning, and processing.
• Collaborate with reservoir engineers and geoscientists to identify key analytical challenges and opportunities.
• Communicate complex findings and insights effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Mentor junior data scientists and contribute to building a data-centric culture within the organization.

Requirements

• Master's or PhD in Data Science, Computer Science, Statistics, or a related quantitative field.
• 5+ years of professional experience in data science, with a focus on applying ML/AI to complex problems.
• Strong proficiency in programming languages such as Python or R and relevant libraries (e.g., scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch).
• Experience with big data technologies (e.g., Spark, Hadoop) and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).
