Job Description: Typical work activities include:
– liaising with geoscientists, production and reservoir engineers, and commercial managers in interpreting well–logging results and predicting production potential;
– compiling detailed development plans of reservoir performance using mathematical models to ensure maximum economic recovery;
– selecting optimal tubing size and the variety of suitable equipment within the well for different functions;
– designing the completion – the part of the well that communicates with the reservoir rock and fluids;
– designing systems that help the well to flow, for example using submersible pumps;
– managing problems of fluid behaviour and production chemistry;
– evaluating and recommending flow rate enhancement by using, for example, hydraulic fracturing (to force fluid into a well and fracture the rock) and acid treatment (to erode the rock and improve flow path);
– managing and controlling wells with branches at the bottom (horizontal and multilateral wells);
– using well and reservoir surveillance data to manage the value of the reservoir and decide on appropriate engineering interventions;
– understanding and managing how a set of wells interact;
– managing contractor relationships in relation to health, safety and environmental performance;
– supervising well–site operations personnel and managing staff at all levels, including the training and supervision of crew members, to ensure that everyone works as a team in order to meet deadlines to clients satisfaction;
– liaising with separate departments to ensure correct progress with projects;
– taking responsibility for the maintenance of equipment;
– liaising with clients to keep them informed of progress.
