About the Job

Requirements

A bachelor's or master's engineering degree from a recognized university in petroleum, chemical, mechanical, or another relevant engineering discipline.
At least five years of work experience in the oil and gas industry, specializing in petroleum engineering, production engineering, or production technology.
Operational experience in inflow, outflow, and flowline modeling; production well testing and allocation principles; network modeling and facilities operations; well design, completion, intervention, and stimulation technologies; artificial lift methods and systems; reservoir and facilities surveillance; and production surveillance, troubleshooting, and optimization of well and field performance.
Hands-on experience with proprietary or vendor engineering analysis tools in the relevant experience domain.
Strong analytical skills.
Ability to manage workload under time pressure and changing priorities.
Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
Ability to work in a multicultural global team and collaborate effectively with internal and external stakeholders.
Innovative and analytical thinking.
Intellectual rigor, strong drive, and desire to lead change.

Responsibilities

Conduct surveillance of production and injection systems, including measured and allocated phase rates, pressures, temperatures, and volume loss, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop optimized production and injection plans; validate data and ensure it adheres to applicable standards.
Support operations by troubleshooting performance deficiencies, managing non-routine operations such as start-ups and process upsets, implementing optimization opportunities, and planning and prioritizing data collection such as well tests, sampling, and field trials.
Create, sustain, and use models of production and injection systems or system components to quantify system potential and identify optimization opportunities; models may be physics-based or data-driven.
Apply fit-for-purpose economic analysis to evaluate routine optimization opportunities identified through surveillance or modeling and prioritize them using common value metrics.
Use a continuous-improvement and Lean mindset to identify and support implementation of efficiency opportunities involving costs, operational practices, and business processes.
Identify, select, develop, and deliver technology solutions to meet business needs, using industry practices and benchmarking to prioritize solutions.
Build relationships with business and technology partners, COVs, vendors, and other third parties as required by the position.
Participate in key cross-functional reviews of production and injection performance and network meetings.

Desired Qualifications

Field or operations experience, mentorship, and team leadership experience.
Experience with engineering applications such as IPM (MBAL, GAP, PROSPER, Resolve), OFM, OLGA, and Hysys.
Experience with data visualization software such as Power BI, SeeQ, and XHQ, and scripting skills such as Python.
Experience in production database management, such as Energy Components and PL/SQL.

What you will do

The Production Engineer is responsible for maximizing asset value through optimization of production and injection systems from reservoir to sales point. Working closely with operations and across functional boundaries, they utilize data, tools and work processes to optimize to constraints and to identify, evaluate and prioritize opportunities to remove constraints. This role may support asset operations (locally or remotely) or be part of a technology development team

Job Role Responsibilities
