Senior Petroleum Engineer - Well Performance

About the RoleOur client, a prominent player in the global oil and gas industry, is seeking a Senior Petroleum Engineer specializing in Well Performance to join their fully remote operations team. This critical role is focused on maximizing the efficiency and productivity of oil and gas wells through expert analysis and application of engineering principles. You will be responsible for evaluating well performance, identifying issues such as declining rates or operational inefficiencies, and developing data-driven solutions. Working remotely, you will collaborate closely with field operations, reservoir engineers, and asset managers to implement production optimization strategies. This position is ideal for a highly analytical and experienced engineer who thrives in a virtual environment and is dedicated to achieving peak performance from hydrocarbon assets. We are looking for an individual with a strong technical background and a proven ability to drive results from a distance.
Key Responsibilities
Analyze production data (rate, pressure, temperature) to monitor and evaluate well performance.
Diagnose wellbore issues, including artificial lift performance, skin damage, and flow assurance problems.
Develop and recommend strategies for well optimization, including workovers, artificial lift upgrades, and stimulation treatments.
Collaborate with reservoir engineers to ensure well performance aligns with reservoir management objectives.
Prepare detailed technical reports, production forecasts, and economic justifications for proposed interventions.
Ensure adherence to health, safety, and environmental standards in all recommendations.
Provide remote technical support and guidance to field operations teams.
Mentor junior engineers in the areas of well performance analysis and optimization.
Utilize production analysis software and data management systems effectively.
Stay abreast of new technologies and methodologies in well performance engineering.
Requirements
Bachelor's degree in Petroleum Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
Minimum of 7 years of experience in petroleum engineering with a strong focus on well performance analysis and optimization.
Proven expertise in artificial lift systems (ESP, gas lift, rod pumps) and their application.
Strong understanding of reservoir engineering principles and wellbore fluid flow.
Proficiency in production analysis software (e.G., PROSPER, GAP, WellTest) and data visualization tools.
Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and decision‑making abilities.
Superior written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to effectively communicate complex technical information remotely.
Demonstrated ability to work independently and manage multiple projects in a fully remote setting.
Experience with well integrity and failure analysis is a plus.
