Responsibilities:
The Production Engineer actively performs standard production engineering operations, to include providing evaluation of production history under natural and artificial lift constrained to surface network operations, to deliver Production Optimization solutions for clients. Acting as a key technical contributor, the Production Engineer helps to identify potential issues or favourable conditions in order to optimize economic recovery from a well. Strong people skills, communication and presentation skills are critical for success in this role. The engineer should be able to perform tasks assigned with minimal supervision and under the guidance of assigned Technical Lead. He should be able to comprehend and explain the inputs such as data & assumptions, workflow, results & recommendations with client and the implications/impact of these on operations.
Perform production analysis, and optimize production under surface and reservoir constraints with minimal supervision.- Perform material balance calculations, pressure transient analysis, and production analysis.
- Build IPR based on well productivity, determine operating point base on tubing performance curve
- Generate model inputs necessary for reservoir simulation such as VLP curve, surface or bottomhole pressure constraints
- Perform nodal analysis, tubing lift calculations, tubing lift evaluation without supervision.
- Design, analyse and optimize artificial lift systems including but not limited to gas lift, ESP, rod lift, jet pump etc.
- Identify production issues caused by near wellbore issues e.g. skin or permeability degradation, sand production, wellbore issues e.g. liquid loading, hydrates, paraffin, asphaltenes and recommend solutions to assure optimal flow.
- Build black oil, extended black oil, compositional, EOR and thermal models for well and surface network.
- Perform routine QA/QC on all production and completion data relevant to building production models.
- Evaluate surface production facilities impact on short-term, mid-term and long-term field performance by:
- Building surface network models incorporating wells, pipelines, pumps, separators and delivery nodes
- Define forecast scenarios incorporating reservoir deliverability constraints, flow capacity, processing capacity and economic constraints.
- Perform surface network optimization under production constraints, delivery requirements, lift gas availability, injection water availability or produced liquid handling.
- Identify bottlenecks and flow issues impacting performance
- Perform reliability and failure analysis of well and surface network under supervision to establish root cause analysis of failure and suggest mitigation techniques for future operations
- Understand Field Services Management protocols to create, modify, monitor, close activities. Generate and Q/C post jobs reports.
- Perform material balance (MB), pressure transient analysis (PTA) and rate transient analysis (RTA) studies under supervision
- Understand DOF concepts and apply under supervision to:
- Configure and trouble shoot a SCADA system incorporating RTU\xe2\x80\x99s, gauges
- Understand configuration requirements and communication protocols necessary to acquire data from field
- Understand data flow between SCADA and production optimization platform to monitor real time production operations
- Perform flow assurance studies under supervision
- Perform risk and economic analysis, under supervision.
- Demonstrate basic awareness of additional relevant technical domains, such as: Geology, Petrophysics, Geophysics and Production Engineering; and the integration of results with other technology, such as: Drilling, Logging.
