Overview:
JOB SUMMARY
The Production Technology Engineer is required to handle the complexity and work-related activities related to oil & gas producers (both natural flow and artificial lift wells), water injection, water disposal wells starting from analysing, monitoring and working with key Weatherford and client personnel to recommend rejuvenation and optimization opportunities. This would typically include identifying surveillance gaps, Lift system optimization, piping optimization, chemical treatments, logging, and integrity assurance resulting in performance of remedial work for production enhancement. Usually working as part of an ISP and product line integrated team responsible for collaborating with clients to develop field optimization and rejuvenation plans.
Participates in short and long-range planning and take independent decisions for practical and economical problem-solving.
May supervise large groups containing both professional and non-professional staff or may exercise authority over a small group of highly qualified professionals in complex technical applications.
Decision Level:
- Makes responsible decisions not usually subject to technical review, except those involving large sums of money or long-range objectives and takes action to expedite the assigned projects.
Supervision required:
- Receives administrative direction based on organization policies and objectives. Work is reviewed to ensure conformity with policy and co-ordination with other functions.
Authority Level:
- Assigns and outlines work; advises on technical problems; reviews work for technical accuracy and adequacy.
- Calls for recommendations concerning selection, training, rating and discipline of staff.
Responsibilities:
DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES
QHSSE
- Support Health, Safety and Environment applying the policies and standard within the engineering process.
- Leads auditing initiatives and regularly monitors TP and PLs KPIs
- Support continuous improvement through the documentation of best practices, lessons learned, technical alerts, etc.
Project Engineering
- Lives by the Weatherford Management System to ensure well integrity and delivery within planned time and budget; and prepare corrective actions in case of deviations
- Develop and fully implement Production engineering best practices, peer reviews and technology application during the planning, execution and closure phases for projects. Research and assess applicability of new technology to projects and support technical and/or business initiative that furthers the capabilities
o Perform Production Engineering studies to ensure optimum solutions are designed and recommended;
o Provide technical advise in Intervention operations including selection, design, planning and execution;
o Deliver timely and accurate assigned rejuvention and optimisation procedures that comply with applicable policies, standards and processes and industry best practices;
- Prepares detailed production optimization programs at field, production station, production cluster, including but not limited to power analysis for the field lifting mechanism, power station replacement, water injection facilities improvement, feasibility analysis for the field production mechanism conversion, and supervise jobs in the field. Programs include:
o Analyze Open Hole and Cased hole logging petrophysical properties for production capability and monitors water saturation and aquifer levels in wells, proposes production enhancement using thru-tubing and bull heading stimulation techniques, analyze well testing parameters and prepares well inflow and skin damage analysis, well perforation density analysis, etc.
o Monitor production performance, diagnose any anomalies and recommend engineering solutions including well intervals plugging and reperforation, change in piping or lifting mechanism.
o Perform production optimization activities to ensure reliability and optimum well performance.
o Participate in project technical review and review proposals to ensure efficient/economic operations.
