About Joseph Dierkhising
I’m a geophysicist with over a decade of industry experience, beginning as an exploration geophysicist and later expanding into seismic analysis, where I supported processing, AVO analysis, forward modeling, and inversion with a focus on turning subsurface uncertainty into decision‑ready insights across our global portfolio. Now, as a New Wells Delivery Geophysicist supporting Brazil appraisal well planning, I apply that foundation to seismic interpretation, overburden characterization, depth prediction, and drilling risk assessment, collaborating across disciplines to deliver safe, efficient wells.
Experience
New Wells Delivery Geophysicist
Jan 2026 — Present · Houston, TX, US
As a New Wells Delivery Geophysicist supporting Brazil appraisal well planning, I lead seismic interpretation and overburden characterization, generate depth prognoses with uncertainty, and identify subsurface‑related drilling risks to ensure safe and efficient well delivery. I work closely with geologists, engineers, and specialists to develop key planning documents while contributing to real‑time operational support, risk mitigation, and post‑well learning. My role centers on translating complex seismic observations into clear, decision‑ready insights that help guide well design, reduce uncertainty, and uphold bp’s technical and safety standards throughout the well delivery process.
