Sr Production Technologist

The Production Technology Engineer is required to handle the complexity and work-related activities related to oil & gas producers (both natural flow and artificial lift wells), water injection, water disposal wells starting from analyzing, monitoring and working with key Weatherford and client personnel to recommend rejuvenation and optimization opportunities. This would typically include identifying surveillance gaps, Lift system optimization, piping optimization, chemical treatments, logging, and integrity assurance resulting in performance of remedial work for production enhancement. Usually working as part of an ISP and product line integrated team responsible for collaborating with clients to develop field optimization and rejuvenation plans.

Participates in short and long-range planning and take independent decisions for practical and economical problem-solving.

May supervise large groups containing both professional and non-professional staff or may exercise authority over a small group of highly qualified professionals in complex technical applications.

• Well Performance Assessment: Conduct detailed evaluations of individual wells to determine current performance, identify underperforming wells, and recommend optimization strategies.
• Reservoir Contribution Analysis: Perform nodal analysis and reservoir inflow/outflow diagnostics to assess well deliverability and reservoir support.
• Well Integrity and Diagnostics: Evaluate well integrity through pressure testing, production logging, and other diagnostic tools to ensure safe and efficient operation.
• Production Data Interpretation: Analyze real-time and historical well data to detect anomalies, identify decline trends, and assess the effectiveness of previous interventions.
• Stimulation and Workover Planning: Design and assess the impact of well interventions including acidizing, fracturing, and recompletions to enhance well productivity.
• Artificial Lift Optimization: Evaluate current artificial lift systems (ESP, gas lift, rod pump, etc.) and recommend enhancements or changes for improved performance.
• Technology Integration: Leverage digital tools and emerging technologies (e.g., AI-driven diagnostics, IoT sensors, predictive analytics) to improve well surveillance and optimization.
• Operational Best Practices: Develop and implement well operation strategies that enhance efficiency, minimize downtime, and ensure cost-effective production.
• Regulatory and HSE Compliance: Ensure all well evaluation activities comply with applicable safety, environmental, and regulatory standards.
• Business Development: Drive business growth by conducting market analysis, building strong client relationships, developing tailored proposals, and establishing strategic partnerships to expand the company’s market presence and secure new opportunities.

Required Skills:

• Minimum of 10-15 years of experience in the oil and gas industry, with a focus on production technology and reservoir management,
