Department: Geosteering Operations
Location: Spring, TX
Reports To: In-House Geosteering Supervisor
Date: 8/11/2025
Version: 1.0

Position Overview

Step into a role where your expertise shapes decisions in real time. As an In-House Geosteering & Operations Geologist with Impac Exploration Services, Inc., you’ll be embedded within the operations geology group of a major energy operator at their state-of-the-art corporate campus in Spring, TX.

You won’t just monitor wells from a distance — you’ll sit at the center of the action, collaborating with drilling engineers, directional drillers, and geology peers in a Pod environment designed for fast, precise decision-making.

This is more than a job. It’s an opportunity to:

• Influence the outcome of high-value drilling projects in real time.

• Gain unmatched visibility into the inner workings of a major operator’s drilling program.

• Build a career foundation in both geosteering and broader operational geology.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide real-time geosteering guidance to optimize wellbore placement, working closely with drilling and directional teams.

• Master and adhere to the operator’s established Standard Operating Procedures.

• Thrive in Pod-style team structures, ensuring seamless coordination between geology and drilling functions.

• Tackle geological side projects, special studies, and operational initiatives during non-drilling intervals.

• Integrate geological interpretation into drilling decisions, proactively recommending adjustments to improve performance.

• Uphold rigorous QA/QC standards for all geosteering and geological analyses.

• Use cross sections to anticipate casing points, coring intervals, and landing point changes.

• Stay agile in responding to shifting priorities and operational demands.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Geology, Geophysics, or related field.

• Prior experience in geosteering or operations geology .

• Strong grasp of drilling operations and the integration of geological interpretations with drilling dynamics.

• Experience in collaborative, high-performance team settings.

• Proficiency with geosteering software and geological databases; quick learner with new tools.

• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and multitasking abilities.

• Authorized to work in the U.S. and able to relocate or commute to Spring, TX.

Work Environment & Schedule

• On-site at a major operator’s corporate campus in Spring, TX.

• Rotational schedule: 2 weeks on / 2 weeks off, alternating between day and night shifts.

Reporting Structure

Reports to the In-House Geosteering Supervisor, contributing to a fully integrated team focused on drilling excellence and operational performance.

Why This Role Stands Out:
You’ll be in the room where high-stakes drilling decisions happen — working alongside the people who set the pace for some of the most technically advanced wells in the world. This is your chance to develop as both a geoscientist and a strategist, in an environment where precision, speed, and insight are the currency of success.
