POSITION SUMMARY

This position is responsible for combining geological interpretations with geophysical data and models to improve geothermal development and to evaluate geothermal exploration projects. This position will interpret 3D and 2D seismic data to improve structural, stratigraphic, and reservoir understanding and correlate wireline logs to seismic data, or it will interpret and model gravity, magnetic, and electrical data to improve structural, stratigraphic, and reservoir understanding. In either case, the goal is to model subsurface rock properties using geological, geophysical, and drilling data.

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS Prepare maps and presentations of geological and geophysical data Work with geologists and reservoir engineers to recommend drilling targets Prepare technical reports under supervision of Project Manager Compile data sets and evaluate data quality using statistical and graphical methods Coordinate contract field crews performing geophysical evaluations Perform structural interpretations and stress-field analysis of prospect areas Schedule and arrange environmental site clearance for drilling activities Research existing literature and prepare summaries for project evaluation Assist in acquisition of geophysical and remote sensing data and integration into mapping and GIS data bases Assist with execution of contract geophysical and drilling projects Assist in planning, reporting and documentation of geologic investigations

OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES Occasional oversight of data reprocessing contracts File reports and samples with regulatory agencies. Maintain well files and other geotechnical files. Assist drilling staff in location of access roads and well pads. Maintain inventories on exploration materials and equipment.

EDUCATION, EXPERIENCE AND SKILLS REQUIRED Bachelors Degree in Geoscience discipline is required and a Masters degree is preferred. Knowledge of seismic and/or potential field processing and acquisition techniques Must be able to use and acquire knowledge of a variety of computer software applications in word processing, spreadsheets, database and presentation. Must be proficient in MS Word, Excel, Power Point and use of the Internet. Proficiency in computer applications such as Kingdom, Landmark, Oasis Montaj, CAD, GIS, ENVI, Global Mapper, 3D modeling. Must be able to read, write and speak English at a level which will permit the employee to accurately understand and communicate information to safely and efficiently perform the job duties. Must possess at any time a valid drivers license with a driving record acceptable to ORMAT auto insurance carrier.

PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS Ability to navigate and work in remote field locations and work outdoors in difficult weather conditions. Ability to periodically lift 50 lbs. Travel approximately 50% of time.
