Well Operation Optimization Engineers are trained to perform services across the Well Integrity and Drilling Performance portfolios. Opti Well services often serve as central point to integrate data and models output from other services, regardless of the service provider on site. They will be communicating with client representatives and the rig personnel any information, regarding wellbore integrity and drilling performance, following a defined standard operating procedure and reporting workflow process that will be developed between us and client.

The main responsibilities will be to:

• Monitor all real-time drilling/completion parameters per Opti Well workflow, detect anomalies and communicate observations per defined communication protocol
• Provide daily activity summary report
• Ensure compliance with client standard procedures and communication protocols
• Diagnose and analyze drilling operations issues, provide mitigation recommendations
• Identify and recommend opportunities for performance improvement, support timely implementation included but not limited to better BHA design to minimize drilling shocks and vibrations, review & recommend best practices of special projects like ERD, MPD & UBD and identity the waste time in current drilling practices & ways to efficiently drill at lower cost per ft.
• Support and participate in collaboration sessions (pre-spud meetings, morning meetings, after-action reviews, etc.)
• Liaise with client drilling engineers and other stakeholders as required
• Review pre-section model and expected parameters, recalibrate models if deemed necessary and QA/QC pre job data entry before lifting to advance monitoring analyst and ingestion in real time monitoring system
• Prepare a pre-job roadmap, integrating engineering models, risk and risk mitigation, best practice, benchmark. These documents support rig operation and bridge the gap between drilling team, rig site and remote operation center
• Prepare summary reports for after-action reviews, including key observations, recommendations, etc.
• Coach client staff on use of the real-time system to facilitate technology uptake
