• Deployment on Production Technology discipline activities and projects including well integrity analyst role.
• Provision of adhoc Asset Production Technology project/operational support as required.

the preferred candidate:

• experienced in operational well integrity and well intervention functional requirement design.
• experienced in front end well completion design including the design and delivery of sand control with an emphasis on gravel packs and, well test planning and execution.
• with strong and recent Petex IPM Suite skills.

Job Description

Key to role:the asset portfolio comprises four fields alongside several exploration prospects. Development of these assets presents complex technical challenges requiring strong Petroleum Engineering and Production Technology expertise, including: ultra-long deepwater subsea tie-backs necessitating advanced Integrated Production System Modelling (IPSM), high-rate, low-temperature production systems impacting completion design, sand control requirements in poorly consolidated reservoirs, and well delivery in harsh deepwater environments with associated testing requirements.

• Managing the IPSM model in coordination with the asset and portfolio reservoir engineering teams.
• Leading the design, testing, verification, and delivery of gravel packs in collaboration with Well Engineering.
• Leading the planning and execution of well testing programmes; autonomously work with the vendor, subsurface & wells departments and assurers to write and optimise the well test work instructions.
• Providing sand failure prediction analysis and sand control support to front-end development projects.
• Delivering conceptual well designs for exploration opportunities, and supporting ina non-operated capacity.
• Providing integrated subsurface support to projects, with a focus on the SURF interface (including trees, controls, metering, and flow assurance).

Key to Role: Production Technology Discipline Activities including Well Integrity

• Provision of well integrity analyst activities in support of well integrity management and reporting.
• Deployment on Production Technology discipline activities in support of both core and transitional discipline scopes.
• For the right candidate, and as part of a team of assurers, provision of Production Technology technical assurance.

Additional Scope If/As Required: Wider Asset Support

• Willing (if required) to provide adhoc Production Technology project/operational support to Asset teams. This may include coverage of well production optimisation, well integrity and well intervention activities.

Skills, preferred candidate:

• Highly skilled in development well completion concept design (inflow and outflow) with a particular expertise in sand control selection and design (including gravel packing).
• Skilled in appraisal wells data acquisition and well testing.
• Skilled in operational well integrity.
• Skilled at ensuring lifetime well operability (including flow assurance and well integrity) is included in the conceptual well design and through each stage in project maturation.
• Highly skilled in Petex IPM Suite.
• Skilled in Microsoft 365 suite
• Able to work autonomously and integrates with ease across functions.
