Production Engineer Job WTS Energy

Engineering Jobs. WTS Energy Jobs

Key Responsibilities:

• Monitor and analyze well and field production performance, ensuring accurate production data validation, anomaly detection, and implementation of corrective actions.
• Perform nodal analysis, well deliverability assessments, and decline curve analysis to support production forecasting and operational decision-making.
• Design, select, and optimize artificial lift systems including ESP, PCP, gas lift, and rod pump systems, and provide troubleshooting support to improve performance.
• Support production testing activities (PLT/IFT), interpret results, and integrate findings into production and reservoir performance models.
• Provide technical support for well intervention planning, completion reviews, and execution of workover activities as production engineering lead.
• Diagnose and resolve well performance issues such as scale, sand production, wax, corrosion, water breakthrough, and flow instability.
• Collaborate with facilities and operations teams to optimize surface constraints, choke management, and overall production system performance.
• Maintain and update production models, forecasting tools, dashboards, and technical reports to support management and operational planning.
• Lead root-cause analysis investigations for production losses, equipment failures, and operational inefficiencies, and implement reliability improvement initiatives.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives aimed at increasing production efficiency, reducing downtime, and optimizing lifecycle asset performance.
• Mentor junior production engineers and contribute to the development of engineering standards, procedures, and HSSEQ compliance practices.
• Perform any other duties as assigned in support of production operations and optimization activities.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Petroleum Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• Minimum of five (5) years’ experience in upstream oil & gas production engineering, with strong exposure to artificial lift systems, well performance analysis, and production optimization.
• Proven experience in well performance monitoring, production forecasting, and optimization of onshore or offshore assets.
• Strong experience with artificial lift systems including ESP, gas lift, PCP, and rod pump operations, including troubleshooting and optimization.
• Experience in nodal analysis, production modeling, and interpretation of well test data (PLT/IFT).
• Strong understanding of flow assurance challenges including wax, scale, hydrates, corrosion, and multiphase flow behavior.
• Experience supporting well interventions, workovers, and completion optimization activities.
• Proficiency in production engineering software, SCADA systems, and data analysis tools will be an added advantage.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills.
• Professional membership (e.g., SPE) or additional certifications in production optimization or artificial lift will be an added advantage.
