The Railroad Commission of Texas, recognized as a worldwide leader in the regulation of oil and gas exploration and production, seeks a Geoscientist to provide advanced geological work in the <a href="https://www.rrc.state.tx.us/oil-gas/applications-and-permits/groundwater-advisory-unit/">Groundwater
Advisory Unit</a>(GAU) of the Oil and Gas Division. For more information on the GAU, see <a href="https://www.rrc.state.tx.us/oil-gas/applications-and-permits/groundwater-advisory-unit/">https://www.rrc.state.tx.us/oil-gas/applications-and-permits/groundwater-advisory-unit/</a> .
Major responsibilities include evaluating and determining the depth of usable-quality groundwater and the base of the underground source of drinking water to be protected during oil and gas operations. The Geoscientist provides the related information to the
oil and gas industry, other state agencies, and the general public. The Geoscientist will utilize geophysical well logs, geographic information systems, custom software applications, and available literature in determining groundwater protection recommendations.
This position offers the opportunity to study and use the latest technology to gather data used in the creation of a statewide subsurface 3-D image / map that identifies the location and depth of water resources.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
