Senior Production Technologist

Role Purpose The Senior Production Technologist provides technical leadership for well and production-system performance, production optimization, well integrity support and intervention opportunity maturation to maximize safe, reliable and economic hydrocarbon production. Core Competencies Well performance and nodal analysis Production optimization Well intervention opportunity maturation Artificial lift Completion and well design support Well integrity awareness Production forecasting Integrated production-system modelling Technical assurance Cross-functional collaboration Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) Incremental production delivered from optimization initiatives Well-performance improvement Accuracy of production opportunity forecasts Intervention opportunity maturation and success Production deferment reduction Technical assurance compliance Quality of production technology studies and recommendations Key Responsibilities Monitor and analyze well performance and identify constraints, underperformance and production optimization opportunities. Perform nodal analysis and well-performance modelling to optimize tubing, choke, artificial-lift and operating strategies. Identify, evaluate and mature well intervention, stimulation, workover and production-enhancement opportunities. Provide production technology input to new well design, completion strategy and Field Development Plans. Support artificial-lift selection, optimization troubleshooting where applicable. and Analyze well-test, pressure, production and fluid data to diagnose well and near-wellbore performance issues. Support well integrity surveillance and remediation planning in collaboration with Wells and Operations teams. Develop production forecasts and opportunity portfolios and track realized production gains against plan. Participate in integrated production-system optimization covering reservoir, wells, flowlines and facilities constraints. Provide technical assurance, coach junior staff and document lessons learned and production-technology best practices. Qualifications & Experience Bachelor's Degree in Petroleum Engineering, Chemical Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline. Relevant Master's Degree is an added advantage. Minimum 10-12 years' relevant upstream production technology/production engineering experience. Relevant professional engineering membership or certification is desirable.
