Koloma is a cutting-edge hydrogen startup, backed by some of the top climate tech investors on the planet, that leverages its technology, proprietary data, and human capital advantages to identify and commercialize these resources on a global scale. We are developing technologies that will enable the production of low cost, 24/7 available carbon-free hydrogen. Our team is led by seasoned energy executives and world-renowned technical thought leaders. We are looking for a Senior Seismic Stratigraphy Geologist to join us in either our Denver, CO or Columbus, OH offices.

Candidate Requirements

• Master’s degree or above in Geology, Geophysics, or a related field
• 20+ years of experience in subsurface exploration with expertise in seismic stratigraphy in multiple depositional settings, paleogeographic mapping, reservoir quality and QI applications
• Fluent in seismic interpretation in a variety of extensional, compressional, and strike-slip tectonic regimes on and offshore including seismic facies analysis
• Proven oil/gas finder with ability to work at regional to prospect scale
• Ability to conduct regional studies
• Experience working with a reservoir engineer for inputs to static and dynamic modeling
• Commercial acumen and experience working with partners
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to work in a fast-paced environment and in a geographically distributed team

Preferred Candidate Qualifications

• International and US experience with ability to work across multiple areas of responsibility
• Familiar with intrusive geologic settings including igneous and salt environments
• Experience integrating critical risk elements of trap, seal, source, migration and reservoir for relative portfolio ranking and inputs to economic models
• Experience with clastics and carbonates as well as fractured rock reservoirs and property prediction for reservoir fluid simulations or geomodeling experience
• Experience working in igneous rock provinces, including from the oil & gas, mining, or geothermal industries
• Experience developing new methods and novel applications leading to patent or intellectual property submissions
• Experience with acquisition and processing of reflection seismic, particularly onshore data, and/or potential field surveys

Job Responsibilities:

• Assessing reservoir potential and overseeing other geoscientists’ work on reservoir characterization
• Conduct detailed stratigraphic analysis and interpretations of geophysical and geological data to assist with geologic hydrogen prospects
• Conduct integrated regional hydrogen systems studies for ranking areas of interest globally
• Stay abreast of technological advancements in hydrogen recovery from a variety of reservoir types (clastic, carbonates, and fractured mafic rock) and implement innovative approaches to geologic hydrogen exploration challenges
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, including geophysicists, geologists, geochemists, engineers, and regulatory professionals to assess the viability of prospects
• Present findings to management and stakeholders, providing recommendations for drilling and exploration activities; collaborate with partners to execute desired work-programs

Onboarding Notes:

• Koloma provides exceptional benefits including healthcare, vision, dental and a 401k retirement plan
• This is an in-office role in Denver, Colorado or Columbus, OH. Koloma supports flexible schedules and remote work where practical, but maintaining our strong culture, focus, and momentum requires team members to be in-office for up to 80% of working hours
• Some travel will be required in this role
• Industry-competitive compensation with significant stock option upside
