Who Are We

Jadestone Energy is an independent oil and gas production company focused on the Asia Pacific region. In 2021, Jadestone acquired SapuraOMV's assets in Peninsular Malaysia. These assets include interests in four licenses, two of which Jadestone has operated since the 2021 acquisition. These include a 70% operated interest in the PM329 PSC, containing the East Piatu field, and a 60% operated interest in the PM323 PSC, which contains the East Belumut, West Belumut and Chermingat fields.

In addition, Jadestone acquired a 50% non-operated working interest in the PM318 and AAKBNLP PSCs, which were operated by PETRONAS Carigali. Jadestone assumed operatorship and full interest of those two PSCs early 2023 and is now engaged with PETRONAS on a path to unlocking additional value through these assets.

Outside of Malaysia, the Company has a 100% operated working interest in the Stag oilfield and in the Montara project, both offshore Australia. Both the Stag and Montara assets include oil producing fields, with further development and exploration potential. The Company also has a 16.67% non-operated interest in the North West Shelf Oil Project offshore Western Australia, comprising four oil fields containing significant upside potential through potential infill drilling and life extension activities.

Further, the Company has a 100% operated working interest in two gas development blocks in Southwest Vietnam, and an operated 100% interest in the Lemang PSC, onshore Sumatra, Indonesia, which includes the Akatara gas field development, where first production is expected in the first half of 2024. Most recently, the Company acquired a non-operated 9.52% interest in the Sinphuhorm producing gas field onshore Thailand.

Led by an experienced management team with a track record of delivery, the Company is pursuing an acquisition strategy focused on growth and creating value through identifying, acquiring, developing and operating assets in the Asia Pacific region. Jadestone Energy plc is listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange (AIM: "JSE"). The Company is headquartered in Singapore, has its principal technical team in Kuala Lumpur and country operational offices in Perth, Jakarta and Ho Chi Minh City.

Position Purpose

Candidate will be reporting to Group Subsurface Manager and leading the team of Geologists across Jadestone group. Candidate will be responsible for reviewing geological scope of work which includes integrated subsurface studies for green, mid-life and mature fields to support production optimization, field development, infill well planning, geological operations for infill drilling and any other activities focused on maximizing the value of the assets. This includes accountability for the quality and the timely delivery of subsurface related deliverables such as regional geological studies, reservoir characterization, static and geo-modeling, infill well planning, geological operations, volumetric evaluation, field development plan and integrating the geology and geophysics functions.

Candidate will at times be leading asset evaluations as well as covering the geological scope of work to support the inorganic growth of the company. In addition, candidate will be key reviewer and be instrumental in gaining approvals for deliverables presented to external entities (partners, regulatory body, banks, and auditors).

Principle Accountabilities

Key Accountabilities:

Lead and manage technical assurance of all subsurface geological evaluations which covers primarily geology and integrated with geophysics and petrophysical studies.
Provide hands-on technical support and guidance to the geological team on integrated development/production G&G studies which includes seismic data evaluation, geological studies, petrophysical interpretation, reservoir characterization, static modeling, hydrocarbon resource assessment, field development planning and development/infill/appraisal drilling.
Lead and manage JSE well planning activities including infill well target optimization, well planning, data acquisition, well execution, geological operations, and post drill well results evaluations and documentation. This includes establishing constant communication with the drilling team for the above.
Lead and manage geological evaluations for M&A due diligence studies and propose a technical proposal on the asset.
Lead and manage integration of the geological work with reservoir engineering and production disciplines for robust mid-life and mature field development and production.
Manage technical and personal development of your direct reports through annual and semi-annual appraisals, regular meetings both at the individual and team levels and through active involvement in the various HR initiatives that occur throughout the year.
Manage inter-company partnership communication, i.e., meetings, JSE's and workshops; as well as regulatory meetings and communications, ensuring that all correspondence, presentation material, reports and other documents are of the highest technical standards and are submitted in a timely manner.
