Senior Engineer, Production Technologist

1. KEY OBJECTIVES

• The Senior Engineer, Production Technologist performs well and production technology studies, particularly for High Pressure and High Temperature (HPHT) field development and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) evaluation.
• Coordinates work and studies between well, drilling team with subsurface, engineering and facilities, including coaching for junior staff.
• The jobholder performs well flow studies, flow assurance, review and supervise all related well/production technologies related studies, including reservoir monitoring, support decision making for drilling and well intervention operations, data surveillance programme (including MMV plan for CCS), digital field, production performance analysis and optimization with corrective actions and full field development plan for existing development and exploration area.
• The jobholder may also conduct well simulation studies or other production technology studies related to producers and injectors. In addition, the jobholder prepares and assist in the short/long term production forecast for hydrocarbon and CO2 injection.

2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTABILITY

• Supervise/perform well engineering studies and production technology studies for both HPHT field development and CCS.
• Supervise or specify solutions for perforation program, well treatment, reservoir management plan and monitoring program including support decision making for drilling and well operations.
• Identify necessary data acquisition to monitor reservoir and well performance, analyse problems, propose solutions and coordinate with concerned parties to execute relevant activities such as well intervention or workover.
• Ensure effective planning and operation of well testing and data interpretation to evaluate well performance and reservoir characteristics.
• Supervise core and fluid analysis to be carried out in accordance with well specified procedures as well as ensure the validity and the consistency of the results.
• Supervise / evaluate short/long term well performance and compare with prediction.
• Initiate/supervise/conduct studies to support well management work and formulate field development plan.
• Initiate/supervise/conduct well simulation studies (if necessary) by incorporating the actual pressure and production data for better prediction of well performance, reserves estimation, and identification of further development needs in terms of well-related work program and well targeting and development of production strategies.
• Initiate, develop, evaluate and integrate surface and subsurface part of field development concepts by taking into account the range of uncertainties and appropriate economics to formulate optimum field development plan and work programs including economic evaluation for a project.
• Evaluate and develop Monitoring, Measurement and Verification (MMV) Plan for CCS. Update document from time to time.
• Evaluate enhanced recovery technologies and practices for potential pilot and full field implementation.
• Supervise well completion designs for production optimization and propose remediation plans for idle wells.
• Supervise junior engineer to analyse production data from existing facilities and determine the production allocation of oil and gas, for reservoir management, regulatory, modelling/simulation and forecasting purposes.
• Effectively coordinate with geology, geophysics, reservoir, production operations, well services and drilling teams by integrating their requirements in the well programming, formation evaluation and well completion.
• Ensure production and relevant production technology database is set up systematically and maintained with verification.
