Job Description
 

Job Overview:

The Production Engineer will lead and support the implementation, integration, and sustainment of the ForeSite - Legacy platform and associated petroleum engineering workflows across a variety of field types and artificial lift systems. The role involves technical leadership in production optimization, digital workflow design, exception-based surveillance, and multidisciplinary coordination to ensure successful adoption and performance of the digital oil field ecosystem.

Key Responsibilities: 

ForeSite Platform Implementation & Optimization

  • Lead deployment and configuration of ForeSite modules for various artificial lift types (SRP, PCP, ESP, Gas Lift).

  • Oversee integration with SCADA, data historians, and field instrumentation systems.

  • Customize digital workflows to support well monitoring, alarm management, model updates, well test validation, and optimization strategies.

  • Validate data quality and model alignment, ensuring digital outputs reflect operational and engineering realities.

Production Engineering & Optimization

  • Analyze well performance and identify optimization opportunities based on exception-based events and ForeSite insights.

  • Support field teams in diagnosing lift system performance issues and recommending optimization actions.

  • Contribute to the development and calibration of well models, surface network models, and optimization scenarios.

  • Collaborate with operations, field development, and reservoir teams to align surveillance and intervention priorities.

Workflow Design & Technical Enablement

  • Lead the design and deployment of end-to-end digital workflows (e.g., well test validation, downtime categorization, steam allocation, CIW follow-up).

  • Develop and document technical procedures, SOPs, and user guides for ForeSite users.

  • Provide coaching, mentoring, and structured training sessions to client engineers and field users.

Project Management Support & Reporting

  • Contribute to project planning, milestone tracking, and stakeholder engagement during system rollouts.

  • Monitor well connectivity, data availability, and system uptime; coordinate actions for hardware or software issues.

  • Prepare technical reports, success stories, and justifications for system expansion, enhancements, or maintenance requirements.

Required Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Petroleum Engineering.

  • Minimum 5yrs of experience in production engineering and artificial lift optimization.

  • Experience with ForeSite platform or similar production optimization tools.

  • Familiarity with SCADA systems, real-time monitoring, and exception-based surveillance.

  • Strong communication, documentation, and technical mentoring capabilities.

  • Proficiency in production data analysis tools (e.g., Spotfire, Power BI) is an advantage.

Preferred Skills:

  • Experience with multi-lift environments and varying field conditions (onshore/offshore, conventional/unconventional).

  • Knowledge of surface network modeling, real-time optimization, and integration with business intelligence tools.
