Who We Are

At Rebellion Energy Solutions we are ensuring that social and environmental value are included in our nation’s energy equation. With over 120,000 abandoned or orphaned oil and gas wells nationwide, we are committed to bringing energy, environment, and markets together to drive responsible completion of the oil and gas well lifecycle on behalf of all our neighbors.

Using carbon markets, we are incentivizing the clean-up of orphan wells and providing a platform for investment in sustainability. For those that have a deep desire to support our work in decommissioning legacy oil & gas wells properly and restoring lands with pride of ownership and a legacy of health and beauty for future generations, we invite you to join us!

About the Role:

The opportunities ahead of us for orphan well clean-up and land restoration at scale are great. As our work and team expands, we are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Operations Engineer to join our team. The Senior Operations Engineer will be responsible for providing engineering expertise in the plugging and abandonment of orphan wells, improving field operations, and optimizing methane measurement techniques. In addition, the candidate will ensure the generation of associated carbon credits via registration bodies for this work. The Senior Operations Engineer will collaborate closely with field personnel, service companies, and validators to ensure high integrity operations and compliance.

As a member of the Operations Team, the Senior Operations Engineer supports and directs the team in the design and execution of remediation and restoration operations that permanently eliminate GHG emissions and sustainably mitigate associated impacts to proximal communities and environments. It is critical that these operations be done with the safety of all involved as top priority. The Senior Operations Engineer will directly supervise and provide oversight to our Engineering Support Technician.

Responsibilities:

● Direct focus areas for inventory development based on historic well and production data analysis.

● Provide engineering technical support for orphan well plugging and abandonment (P&A) field operations. This will include field level resource needs (i.e. equipment) and budget requests as well as feedback loops between the field and office.

● Maintain deep understanding of operational best practices for measurement, the Rebellion Method of plugging, and the Rebellion MRV plan.

● Work closely with field operations staff to optimize processes and ensure operational excellence in plugging and abandonment, methane measurement, and environmental protection. The gathering and housing of high integrity data will be critical.

● Documentation of operations best practices and standard operating procedures (SOP’s)

● Maintain a deep understanding of relevant carbon credit methodologies and their technical requirements.

● Develop workover and P&A procedures, including well bore diagrams (pre- and post-abandonment) and cost estimates with economic justifications.

● Perform analysis of gathered data to quantify emissions per relevant methodologies and potential value associated with operations.

● Provide proposed operations packets, including well level economics, to management for review and approval.

● Ensure all operations comply with state/provincial/tribal, federal, company, and registry requirements.

● Provide requests, feedback, and utilization insights of data analytics tools (Excel, ArcGIS, Spotfire, etc.) for continuous improvement and operational optimization in conjunction with our data team

● Support the compilation of project data into registry appropriate formats, validation and verification of projects, and the issuance of carbon credits via registration processes.

● Prepare and lead well reviews, project updates, and performance assessments.

● Work closely with land management and land restoration groups to coordinate streamlined projects from development through completion. Ensure that data collection is ethical, accurate, and verifiable.

● Collaborate with the Data Team to design and develop project-specific tools that enhance the efficiency and accuracy of data collection for operations.

● Forecast and plan future well projects by analyzing data sets, identifying trends, and making recommendations to management.

● Actively participate and support in maintaining the company’s high-performing safety culture.

● Make monthly trips to the field as needed to ensure optimal performance for operations team and attend Safety Meetings.
