Geologist

This video explores the role of a Geologist in Low Carbon Solutions at Equinor, focusing on carbon capture and storage (CCS). You’ll learn about the responsibilities, skills, and qualifications needed for this position and how it contributes to Equinor’s net-zero goals.

As a Geologist in Low Carbon Solutions at Equinor, you will play a key role in identifying suitable locations for CO2 storage by evaluating old oil and gas reservoirs. Your work will involve analysing well integrity, assessing geological characteristics, and ensuring the safety and effectiveness of CO2 containment. This role includes fieldwork, data analysis, and collaboration with multidisciplinary teams to support Equinor’s carbon reduction strategy.

Key responsibilities include assessing well integrity by reviewing historical well data to ensure abandoned wells meet government regulations and can safely store CO2. You will analyse reservoir characteristics using depth maps and seismic data to determine suitability for CO2 injection and long-term storage. The role also involves participating in geological field trips to collect data, interpreting core logs and seismic data to identify ideal storage formations, and collaborating with drilling teams, wellsite geologists, and other stakeholders to ensure project success. Additionally, you will maintain and present technical reports on geological assessments and storage suitability.

To qualify for this role, you will need a Bachelor’s degree in Geology, Petroleum Geology, or a related field, with an honours degree preferred. A Master’s degree may be beneficial but is not required for entry-level positions. Entry-level experience such as Mud Logger or Logging Geologist is valuable, and experience with seismic data, core logs, and well integrity assessments is an advantage.
