Job Family Summary

GEO-Generalist

The Generalist Job Family maintains the capabilities for a broad range of fundamental geological and geophysical skills that enable the community to create reliable, integrated interpretations that support business needs. The generalist has a broad range of technical roles including but not limited to: performing regional studies, evaluating new opportunities and farm-ins, opportunity generation, prospect maturation, reservoir characterization, drill well planning (exploration, appraisal, near field wildcat, infill), reservoir surveillance, work-over identification and farm-down to divestment activities. The generalist is expected to have the ability to comprehend and integrate knowledge, ideas and skills to solve geologic and geophysical problems across exploration, development, production and research functions.

Job Role Summary

The advanced capability generalist geoscientist is expected to develop a broad range of fundamental geoscience skills (many at expert level) that support business needs in terms of opportunity generation, technical quality, development of complex problem solving abilities, and technical breadth and depth. Performance dimensions including increased effectiveness and efficiency with regard to work quality and quantity, coordination and teamwork, demonstrating leadership, sound decision making, good business judgment and a focus on general interest are extremely important. These advanced technical and non-technical skills are expected to expand in scope and breadth through time, across projects and discipline over the course of a career. This also could include assignments focused on unconventional resources or oil sand projects. Skills required include the twenty three fundamental skills listed below (mostly Level 2-3), and advanced skills in E/D/P and an informed understanding of internal upstream business terminology, processes and systems. Individuals working Unconventional Resources require a level 4 in "Exploitation" and at least one level 3 in an "Unconventional Type". Individuals working Oil Sands will have two advanced skills of at least level 2, with one advanced skill at a level 3 and another at level 4. Individuals building "Quantitative Interpretation" advanced geophysics skills require a level 4 in "Seismic Interpretation" and "DHI Analysis" and level 2 in "4D Seismic Analysis" and "Inverse Seismic Modeling". Again, profiles are idealized and there is variability on the proficiency level required to achieve the ACM. This knowledge will be obtained through a combination of multiple on-the-job experience and basic training. Employees are encouraged to take an active role in their skill and capability development to meet business needs and are encouraged to self-assess in as many skills and capability milestones as appropriate to accurately reflect their technical capabilities. Technical and non-technical skills are developed over the course of a career, including progression up the technical ladder to Senior Technical Professional Advisors, Senior Technical Consultants and Chief Geoscientist, consistent with the Upstream Professional Development Framework. See the GCO SharePoint for further documentation on career path and milestones.
