Director, International Plays & Basins Service - Upstream International Division

Grade/Level ( relevant for internal applicants only ): 13

The Location: The role is currently London-based ( **however it may be possible for it to be executed from another international location where S&P Global's Commodity Insights International Upstream Division has a material presence).

The Team: The International Plays & Basins Service is an industry leading group that researches the process by which the world's key petroleum basins are commercialized; via both upstream and synergistic energy sector activity. Our Service provides thought leadership and delivers research product in the form of Basin Reports, Strategic Reports and Global E&P Activity Trends Reports, which are sold to Clients usually on a subscription basis. We are in continuous dialogue with our Clients in upstream and the business world; our daily work may involve research themed presentations and interactions at any level within external organizations, up to and including Board Level.

The Impact:

Research commonly is being undertaken by the Service within the following subject areas;

• Analysis of trends within the upstream oil and gas industry, from the perspective of a global, regional, or geological basin viewpoint. Basin analysis starts with an assessment of the geology and incorporates perspectives on upstream exploration, development, and production activities.
• Analysis of the upstream asset commercialization process, inclusive of M&A activity, and project planning and execution; and consideration of broader commercialization opportunities including those relating to low and net-zero carbon technologies.
• Analysis of global and regional oil and gas supply trends.
• Analysis of the impact of the Energy Transition on upstream activities.

What's in it for you:

• The successful candidate will become a key member of the Service; and will contribute original thought leadership on upstream, energy and supply topics.
• The role holds a high level of responsibility for driving through our deliverables to completion and a successful conclusion in terms of publication / presentation.
• The role will offer the opportunity for considerable exposure to high-ranking individuals within the upstream world; through Client calls and presentations, including at international conferences.

Responsibilities:

• The candidate will report to the Head of the International Plays & Basin's Service and will originate and undertake upstream and energy technical, commercial and industry trend research.
• The role requires the candidate to extract and analyze large volumes of information and data, using appropriate computer-based tools, examining these datasets for the pinpointing of relevant trends and insights. Data will predominantly relate to global basins, E&P activity, and also oil and gas supply/demand information.
• Commonly the candidate will then be required to deliver a Report to a high standard of overall presentation, readability, and quality to deliver their assessments and findings to our clientele.
• The candidate will have an ability both to identify key questions that are pertinent / currently critical to the trajectory of upstream and related energy sectors, and to come up with ideas on how these questions may be answered.
• Often the role will comprise working with and providing support to the wider Plays & Basins Service team members, by assisting them with important elements of research workflows, analysis and report generation. This may involve some training and mentoring of less experienced staff in certain key disciplines.
• The role may involve extensive Client facing responsibilities; the candidate will be confident in undertaking such tasks, demonstrating professionalism and a high level of presentation skills.

What We're Looking For:

• The role will suit an individual with an enquiring mind and deep appreciation of the current situation and future trajectory of the upstream and energy sectors in general.
• The role would suit a numerate graduate with a degree in Geoscience, Science, Engineering, Maths, economics or a related discipline, plus at least 12 years of relevant experience.
• It is essential that the candidate should demonstrate a high level of understanding of petroleum exploration, petroleum engineering and petroleum economics. A good appreciation of the supply/demand dynamics of oil and gas markets would be a plus.
• The candidate will demonstrate excellent communication skills with fluent spoken and written English. Evidence of an ability to write reports to a high standard, particularly those that are research related, will be essential.
• The candidate will possess good IT and data analysis skills, including an advanced skillset in the use of Excel. Knowledge of ArcGIS, Access and Power BI would be a plus.
• The candidate will have the ability to prioritize multiple projects and work to deadlines.
