Description du poste

Job Purpose

• Lead through technical support of drilling operations offshore and onshore. Plan, technically manage, and facilitate drilling activities that are fully aligned with the Group technical and SHE standards and provide fully qualified drilling engineering support for technically complex development projects. Progress projects from planning and concept selection through to engineering design and safe operational execution.

Job Context & Major Challenge(s) - I

• The Completions and Workover programs are highly complex, involving challenging operations and a diverse mix of activity / well types. Some examples of the challenges include (1) multiple parallel projects with dynamic schedules, tight schedule constraints, and uncertainty in sequencing of rig activities; (2) diverse mix of activities and well designs (e.g., spare slot vs. new wellhead platforms, monobore vs. OBB well designs, standard vs. sub-horizontal (SHZ) well architecture; (3) brownfield work conducted among increasingly congested facilities and depleted reservoirs increasing risk and complexity; (4) complex interfaces among organizations and increasing requirements for planning and administration; (5) new wells in expansion areas are longer and more complex than historical wells; (6) coordination of 10+ rigs with changing contracting strategy may lead to additional new rig start-ups for any of the projects; (7) driving service quality from all service partners.

Key Job Accountabilities - I

• Perform drilling analyses/calculations, provide drill well surveillance, and act as a focal point for continuous improvement by implementation of technology transfer and application of best practices.
• Plan, develop and write drilling programs that include casing design, mud specifications, cementing, BHA and bit selection, hydraulics, wellheads, well control, and other drilling parameters.
• Lead through technical support of drilling operations offshore and onshore.
• Ensure wellbore and equipment integrity during drilling operations.
• Lead the preparing of comprehensive drilling risk management strategies covering areas of safety & health, environmental impacts, emergency preparedness, well control procedures and relief well contingency plans.

Key Job Accountabilities - II

• Support procurement activities (pre-qualifications, tendering process, and bid evaluations with focus on long lead-time and critical items (rigs, wellheads, casings, etc.).
• Support QA/ QC activities (audits, technical reviews, inspections, specifications with focus on long lead-time and critical items (rigs, wellheads, casings, etc.).
• Implement Monobore and Big Bore technology in conjunction with completions engineering and shareholder technical resources including wellheads, liners and related equipment.
• Assist management in areas of performance measurement and continuous improvement through the facilitation of communication and teamwork.
• Evaluate drilling and recommend effective modifications to enhance/improve the drilling process. Ensure drilling execution in line with intended plan.

Qualifications

• Bachelors degree in Engineering.

Knowledge and/or Experience - I

• +8 years relevant experience.
• Experience providing stewardship of service contracts including (drilling rigs, offshore and onshore, drilling equipment, services, tangibles, and consumables). Experience with H2S well designs and safety practices ideally in Offshore Completions and Workover operations.
• Specialized expertise level required for critical activities and work scope including (well control and well control equipment, perforating operations, acid stimulation design and operations, wireline operations, coiled tubing operations, wellhead, tree, and downhole equipment, pressure pumping operations, completion design and equipment, land rig and jack-up rig and barge operations, fishing and milling operations, H2S operations).

Technical and Business Skills - I

• Well control proficiency.
• Demonstrated competency in completions and workover engineering and operations commensurate with years of experience.
• Commitment to safe and environmentally sound well construction.
• Awareness of emerging drilling industry technology and capable of assessing new technology for implementation where appropriate.
• Execution of competent and fully completed staff level technical designs meeting industry best practices and QG requirements.
• Fluent in English (demonstrated verbal and written skills).
• Demonstrated ability to use common PC software (MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Project) as well as functional specific software (such as Well View, Landmark Compass, WellCat, SAP etc.).
