Job Summary

Provide technical leadership in production engineering and well performance to optimize hydrocarbon recovery, improve uptime and support safe, cost-effective field operations. Lead deliverables on production surveillance, artificial lift, well performance diagnostics and production enhancement studies, and guide multidisciplinary interventions.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead production surveillance and well performance monitoring programs; analyse production data, identify underperforming wells and recommend remedial actions.
• Design and optimise artificial lift systems (ESP, PCP, gas lift, rod lift) and surface/subsurface completions to maximise production and reliability.
• Perform nodal analysis, well deliverability studies, inflow/outflow modelling and production decline forecasting to support operational decisions and planning.
• Diagnose well performance issues (scaling, sand, paraffin, corrosion, water cut increase) and define intervention scopes (workovers, stimulations, well tests).
• Develop and manage production test programs, including PLT/IFT execution, interpretation and integration with reservoir models.
• Support completion design and well intervention planning, providing technical input to well proposals, risk assessments and execution plans.
• Optimise choke and surface facility settings, collaborate with production operations and facilities to resolve constraints and improve throughput.
• Lead failure/root-cause analyses for downhole and surface equipment, drive corrective actions and reliability improvement initiatives.
• Manage production data quality, dashboards and reporting; provide timely technical reports and recommendations to asset and executive stakeholders.
• Mentor junior production technologists and engineers; develop technical standards, best practices and training materials.
• Evaluate and trial new production technologies (scale inhibitors, downhole sensors, digital monitoring, chemical treatments) and lead value-engineering initiatives.
• Ensure compliance with HSE, well integrity and regulatory requirements for production operations and interventions.

Qualifications

• Degree in Petroleum Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or related technical discipline.
• 10+ years’ experience in production engineering/technologist roles with progressive responsibility; experience across artificial lift and well intervention preferred.
