Regional Geoscientist

At Exxon Mobil, our vision is to lead in energy innovations that advance modern living and a net‑zero future. As one of the world’s largest publicly traded energy and chemical companies, we are powered by a unique and diverse workforce fueled by the pride in what we do and what we stand for.

The success of our Upstream, Product Solutions and Low Carbon Solutions businesses is the result of the talent, curiosity and drive of our people. They bring solutions every day to optimize our strategy in energy, chemicals, lubricants and lower‑emissions technologies.

We invite you to bring your ideas to Exxon Mobil to help create sustainable solutions that improve quality of life and meet society’s evolving needs. Learn more about our What and our Why and how we can work together.

Exxon Mobil's state‑of‑the‑art campus north of Houston serves as home to its Upstream, Product Solutions and Low Carbon Solutions businesses and their associated service groups. The facility opened in 2014 and accommodates more than 10,000 employees and visitors.

By bringing many global functional groups together, the campus provides employees with the tools and capabilities needed today, and in the future, to achieve business objectives and accelerate the discovery of new resources, technologies and products. It was designed to foster improved collaboration, creativity and innovation and enhance the company’s ability to attract, develop and retain the top talent in the industry.

The campus is located in Spring, Texas, on 385 wooded acres immediately to the west of Interstate Highway 45 (I‑45), at the intersection of I‑45 and the Hardy Toll Road, approximately 25 miles from the cultural vibrancy of downtown Houston.

The campus was constructed to the highest standards of energy efficiency and environmental stewardship. Its design incorporates extensive research into best practices in building and workplace design through extensive benchmarking of the world’s top academic, research, and corporate facilities.

The Regional Geoscientist is responsible for identifying, evaluating, and framing exploration opportunities across basin, play, and prospect scales. You are responsible for integrating subsurface and above‑ground parameters and applying systems‑based geological thinking to establish geological dependencies, quantify uncertainty, and set realistic risk and success case expectations for yet‑to‑be‑found prospects. You are expected to generate and mature opportunities in both data‑rich and data‑limited settings, leveraging analogs, regional synthesis, and scenario‑based interpretation to progress opportunities.

You are expected to clearly communicate geological risks, uncertainties, and success case expectations to support sound business and investment decisions.

The Regional Geoscientist characterize yet to be found exploration potential by developing play concepts grounded in genetic basin analysis and the integrated interpretation of geological and geophysical data, including seismic, well logs, and fluid information. You establish play extents beyond well control and predict play quality, including key risks, success case expectations, internal variability, and overall explorability.

You leverage play level understanding and products to inform prospect identification and maturation, while maintaining a regional, systems‑based perspective. You characterize value potential by working within integrated subsurface, engineering, and commercial teams to define key value drivers, indicators of portfolio competitiveness, and the subsurface uncertainties that influence materiality and decision making.

• Deliver Regional Frameworks:
  Integrate geologic and geophysical data across basins to define petroleum systems, play fairways, and key geological dependencies
• Quantify Play Risk and Volume:
  Apply probabilistic methods to assess play‑level chance of success, volumetric potential, and uncertainty, distinguishing dependent (shared) risks from independent uncertainties
• Evaluate Play Maturity and Explorability:
  Assess exploration history, data coverage, and analogs to rank plays by…
