Job Description:
HRSI is looking for Production Engineer for one of its leading client.
Key Responsibilities
1. Integrated Well Analysis & Modelling:
- Conduct detailed production analyses of candidate wells.
- Perform wellbore modelling using PROSPER to evaluate fluid behaviour, pressure losses, and flow performance.
- Develop and analyse network models using GAP to assess system constraints, backpressure effects, and well interdependencies.
2. Production Optimization:
- Evaluate existing well completions and recommend choke size optimization for improved flow efficiency.
- Analyse and optimize flowline configurations to reduce pressure losses and enhance productivity.
- Propose alternative completion strategies tailored to specific well conditions.
3. Water Management in Gas Wells:
- Develop and implement de-liquidation strategies for gas wells with high water cut to sustain and enhance gas production.
4. Water Shut-Off & Intervention Strategies:
- Identify water production sources using PLT and well log data.
- Recommend suitable shut-off techniques, including mechanical and chemical solutions, based on well diagnostics and available technologies.
5. Stimulation & Treatment Optimization:
- Review historical stimulation activities and validate proposed acid treatment designs.
- Recommend advanced stimulation techniques aligned with reservoir characteristics and global best practices.
6. Well Intervention Planning:
- Design and execute cost-effective rigless intervention programs to minimize downtime.
- Develop contingency plans to ensure successful execution under varying field conditions.
7. Workover Program Development:
- Prepare detailed workover programs, including equipment selection and risk mitigation strategies.
- Plan completion and testing programs for re-entry and complex wells.
8. Artificial Lift System (ALS) Optimization:
- Evaluate and optimize existing ALS systems (ESP, Rod Lift, PCP, Jet Pump, Gas Lift, etc.).
- Improve operational efficiency, reduce power consumption, and enhance production stability.
- Recommend appropriate lift systems for low-producing wells to maximize recovery.
9. Well Chemistry & Flow Assurance:
- Identify and optimize chemical treatments for stimulation, de-liquidation, and condensate management.
- Ensure compatibility of chemical solutions with reservoir and wellbore conditions.
- Collaborate with local and international vendors to source effective chemical technologies.
10. Field Execution & Supervision:
- Provide technical oversight during rigless interventions and rig-based workovers.
- Ensure execution aligns with approved strategies and monitor performance metrics.
- Continuously refine processes based on field results and operational feedback.
Experience
- Minimum 10–15+ years of experience in Production / Petroleum Engineering within upstream oil & gas operations.
- Proven experience managing multi-asset or brownfield mature assets, including depleted, shut-in, and high water cut wells.
- Extensive hands-on experience in:
- Artificial Lift Systems design and evaluation (ESP, Gas Lift, Rod Pump, PCP, Jet Pump)
- Well interventions (rig and rigless operations)
- Production optimization and surveillance
- Exposure to international operations (Middle East, North America, Africa, or Asia) and working with multinational teams and service providers is preferred.
- Experience in production forecasting and field development planning is an advantage.
Education
- Bachelor's degree in Petroleum Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering (mandatory).
- Master's degree in a relevant discipline (preferred).
- Professional affiliations/certifications (preferred):
- Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE)
- PMP or equivalent project management certification (advantage)
- IWCF / Well Control certification (advantage)
Technical Skills:
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to work on complex production systems.
- Able to present complex technical concepts to management and non-technical stakeholders.
Other Requirements:
- Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to present technical information to diverse audiences.
- Ability to work independently as well as in a team environment.
