Job Description

Job Purpose

Yokogawa is seeking a highly motivated and experienced Petroleum Engineer to join our dynamic team in UAE. This role will be pivotal in developing and implementing innovative solutions for upstream operations, particularly gas lift well optimization. The successful candidate will leverage their deep understanding of reservoir engineering, gas lift principles, well performance analysis, and data-driven methodologies to identify opportunities, design workflows, and deploy tools that maximize production and efficiency. You will collaborate closely with client organizations and their teams (such as production operations, reservoir engineering, and data science teams) to deliver tangible results and contribute to operational excellence.

Key Responsibilities & Accountabilities

1. Identify Optimization Opportunities: Analyze well performance data, including production rates, pressures, gas injection volumes, and equipment parameters, to pinpoint wells with potential for gas lift optimization.
2. Develop and Implement Optimization Strategies: Design and implement gas lift optimization strategies, including nodal analysis, injection gas rate optimization, valve spacing adjustments, and plunger lift integration where applicable.
3. Develop Data-Driven Solutions: Utilize data analytics and machine learning techniques to build predictive models, automated workflows, and real-time monitoring dashboards for gas lift systems. Investigate the application of machine learning (ML) techniques for virtual flow metering (VFM) in oil wells.
4. Tool and Workflow Development: Participate in the development and deployment of software tools, scripts, and workflows to streamline gas lift optimization processes and improve decision-making.
5. Collaboration and Knowledge Sharing: Work closely with production operations, reservoir engineers, and data scientists to share knowledge, best practices, and lessons learned related to gas lift optimization.
6. Research and Innovation: Stay abreast of the latest industry trends, technologies, and best practices in gas lift optimization and propose innovative solutions to enhance operations.

Qualification And Experience

• A Master's Degree in Petroleum Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
• 15 years of experience in offshore/onshore gas & oil fields, with a focus on artificial lift, specifically gas lift design, engineering analysis, and hands-on operational experience, asset optimization, and troubleshooting.
• Demonstrated experience in analyzing well performance data and applying engineering principles to optimize production.
• Proficiency in well performance analysis software (e.g., PIPESIM, PROSPER, GAP).
• Familiarity with AI/ML tools and programming languages (e.g., Python, R, SQL) and their application in oil and gas industry is highly desirable.
• Strong problem-solving, analytical, and critical thinking skills.
• Excellent communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills.
• Ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary team environment.
• Experience working in the Middle East region is advantageous.
