Senior Production Engineer

About the job SENIOR PRODUCTION ENGINEER

Job Description:

Perform production engineering activities for the CLIENT operated oil fields, including all aspects of production monitoring, well test analysis and surveillance, production optimization, workover and interventions. Also, as a member of interdisciplinary teams, the Snr Production Engineer is required to participate in reservoir management/development planning/project activities.

Required qualifications, experience and expertise:

• i. Monitor field production and injection using OSI-PI, Avocet, OFM and IVM/IFM in order to produce optimization plans for gas lift, ESPs and water injection to reach the desired monthly and yearly targets.
• ii. Monitor and validate well tests and provide engineering support for calibration of the well test flowmeters.
• iii. Provide technical analysis to the Production Application team to produce accurate well allocation, downtime and production key performance indicator reports.
• iv. Model the production, water injection, and gas lift surface systems effectively, and ensure maintenance of well models using GAP/ PROSPER in order to maintain a representative and updated system.
• v. Identify, diagnose, and prepare well intervention proposals for surface and down-hole well issues affecting oil prod and water injection. Issues related to e.g. artificial lift, water prod and well instability.
• Produce optimization plans for gas lift, ESPs and injection wells.
• vii. Collaborate with Drilling, Asset Development and Engineering & Construction to bring on new production and injection wells.
• viii. Provide daily reports that effectively communicate the daily production and injection status of the field, and the production operations engineering adjustments, as necessary, to optimize production.
• ix. Provide operational input into capital development proposals for accurate planning.
• x. Liaise effectively with other departments in support of Asset business aims and objectives.

Preferable experience and expertise:

• B.S. or masters degree or equivalent in engineering discipline (preferably Petroleum Engineering).
• Minimum of 15 years of experience in Production Engineering.
• Proficient in the use of SCADA (e.g.OSI-PI), Production Data Management Systems (e.g. Avocet), OFM and Digital Oilfield tools: PROSPER, GAP and IVM/IFM.
• Working knowledge of inflow performance theory and its practical application
• Effective technical presentation and writing skills.
• Self-Starter - ability to work with a minimum of supervision, produce robust proposals and operate to imposed deadlines.
