Job Description
About the Role
Conduct functional roles related to well performance through the following tasks:
- Prognosis of well potentials from the results of well tests and interpretations provided by the reservoir using the Prosper well model.
- Follow up on actual well production or injection, while identifying well production shortfalls and analyzing their origins.
- Coordinate reservoir, drilling/completion, and production multi-disciplinary expertise to propose curative actions for under-performing wells and quantify the expected benefits.
- Schedule light well interventions considering production, drilling/completion, and reservoir requirements, and provide post-mortem analysis after corrective actions.
- Maintain close contact with production operations to follow up on the day-to-day behavior of the wells and implement necessary adjustments.
- Establish scope of requirements prior to any well completion or re-completion.
- Regularly communicate with the Well Performance engineering department (FP) at the head office for technical support and feedback.
- Implement procedures for well start-up and clean-up and update well performance indicators.
- Determine well metering frequency and validate final test data.
- Determine production allocation for each well.
- Ensure the use of Prosper, IFM/IVM, MPG, or equivalent models for well modeling to update well potential.
- Take responsibility for the statement of requirements for well performance monitoring, mechanical survey, and scale removal, along with the validation and interpretation of well performance and integrity data.
- Take responsibility for the SOR of heavy well maintenance for productivity reasons and provide economic evaluations of heavy well maintenance.
- Participate in the start-up of FCW (Full Control of Well) on the installations and ensure site (offshore) assistance to maintain usage of the system.
- Optimize oil production via choke management and optimum gas lift injection.
- Design gas lift injection systems for valve change-outs in installed mandrels and well restarts.
- Manage water and gas injection systems in cooperation with the subsurface team.
- Be physically on-site for well operations assistance.
- Participate in sand management for individual wells and field-wide efforts.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering (or equivalent)
- Professional experience of around 6 years in Oil & Gas production, including operational experience in reservoir,completion and stimulation or production
- Good overview of the different parameters affecting the performance of a well, from the reservoir to the surface utilities.
