Completions & Stimulations Engineering Advisor

Perform technical analysis and studies related to Unconventional Resources completions and stimulation engineering assessments in KSA:

• Ability to work with the multidisciplinary team and the Simulation Service Providers, analyze well conditions and provide advice on well completions regarding a stimulation design that optimizes production with consideration for both cost and risk.
• Ability to review completion requests to ensure clear objectives are provided and that the planned stimulation is designed to meet these objectives.
• Ability to perform both field and real-time remote job supervision.
• Ability to develop perforation, flow back, and stimulation best practices and standards in specific areas and formations.
• Ability to conduct root cause analysis for all frac job failures.
• Ability to prepare reports for stimulation operations conducted, including design and monitoring key performance indicators (KPIs) for stimulation and completions.
• Ability to read and interpret open hole logs, integrate geomechanics and other data into the design, and interpret well test data is an asset.
• Working knowledge of:

1. Cementing procedures
2. Completion design; cased hole vs. open hole
3. Completion systems and application to stimulation operations
4. Perforating and fracturing fluids and proppants
5. Hydraulic fracture treatment design and analysis
6. Acidizing and alternative stimulation methods
7. Well testing, mini-frac testing, stress testing
8. Micro-seismic and other fracturing diagnostics methods
9. Safety procedures
