One Wells Program - Wells Engineer Graduate– Houston, TX

Wells Engineer In GoA

As a Wells Engineer in GoA, you will be at the forefront of the energy industry, designing and optimizing the wells that unlock energy safely and sustainably. You will work in multidisciplinary teams, where you will learn from industry leading engineers and geoscientists. We are looking for curious, analytical minds ready to learn and innovate in a high-impact field.

While on the Early Careers Program, you will:

• Learn the ropes: get hands-on training in well design, operations and cutting-edge technology
• Solve real world challenges: help optimize well plans to deliver safe and reliable wells while maximizing efficiency and minimizing environmental impact
• Work with experts:
  Collaborate with subsurface engineers, geologists, data scientists, and operations teams to turn subsurface data and previous learnings into actionable delivery strategies
• Gain field exposure: spend time on our offshore rigs seeing theory come to life
• Travel: participate in our global wells Catalyst event, where you will meet your peers from around the world and build a lasting network of peers to support you throughout your career at bp.
• Innovate:
  Contribute to a wide range of wells activities, including exploration drilling, development wells, interventions in existing wells, and safe abandonment of old wells.

Wells Engineering encompasses the design, construction and maintenance of wells to safely and reliably extract hydrocarbons. It spans three key disciplines:
Drilling Engineering, Completion Engineering and Intervention / Subsea Engineering.

What does a Drilling Engineer do?

• You design the well:
  How many hole sections? What path should it take? What materials will withstand the temperatures and pressures? What drilling fluids and cement will provide barriers?
• You troubleshoot in real time during well construction:
  If the drill hits unexpected obstacles (like a high-pressure sand or tool failures), you support the offshore team by adjusting the plan and mobilizing contingencies.
• You leverage technology to drive efficiency and reliability:
  From intelligent drilling tools to reducing emissions, you'll help innovate the future of energy.

What does a Completion Engineer do?

• Design how wells are prepared for production: selecting the right equipment and techniques to optimize flow.
• Implement smart solutions: from advance hydraulic fracturing to smart well completions to enhance and control the productivity of reservoirs.
• Solve complex challenges: like preventing sand from entering the well or managing extreme pressures.
• Work at the cutting edge: implementing new technologies for enhanced recovery and environmental protection.

What does an Intervention / Subsea engineer do?

• Troubleshoot underperforming wells: analyzing data to identify why production has declined.
• Design corrective treatments: from injection of chemicals such as acid to dissolve scale to mechanical repairs such as changing valves and other components.
• Oversee complex operations: like running specialist diagnostic tools into the well or changing failed components.
• Managing the integrity of the wells: monitoring critical well conditions, preventing and remediating failures.
• Maximize well life: extending production while maintaining safety and efficiency.
• Manage subsea well interfaces: including subsea wellheads, subsea Christmas trees systems, and subsea interventions systems to enable completion and intervention operations in deepwater fields.

In summary - Why these roles in wells?

• Variety: no two days are the same as you tackle different well engineering challenges.
• Adventure:
  Combine office engineering with hands-on work field exposure to the latest technology at our offshore rigs.
• Problem-solving:
  Tackling real-world engineering challenges in some of the most extreme environments on the planet.
• Innovation:
  Working with cutting-edge tools and equipment, and the opportunity to develop new (and better) ways to do things.
