GIS Data Analyst

Context & Environment

G&R project package is key to the successful execution of the greenfield GranMorgu project, a total investment of 11 BUSD, involving the development of two fields, Sapakara and Krabdagu, with four reservoirs over water depths ranging from 100 to 1400 meters. The development plan includes a total gas re-injection scheme, complemented by water injection using a WAG (Water Alternate Gas) injection scheme). Two drilling ships will be mobilized late Q4 2026 to drill 32 subsea wells (16 OP, 13 WAG, 2 GI, 1 WI) with a total drilling expenditure of 3 BUSD, featuring complex lateral reservoir sections. First Oil is anticipated between April and June 2028. 

The drilling and installation campaign shall require an effective workflow to be set up, tested and documented, for managing, displaying and exchanging geographic data.
