Main Purpose:

Provide technical support in well surveillance, production planning, production optimization and non-routine operations of subsea wells and infrastructure. Troubleshoot problems with the subsea production system and provide support to subsea operations team with methodology to address identified / anticipated issues. Conduct technical analysis with FA software packages including but not limited to OLGA, PVT, Well Flow and PSS. Generate reports to reflect findings adequately. 

Job Accountabilities

• Develop field surveillance strategy for production planning; Analyse well behavior, planned intervention, system constraints and provide production forecast figures.  

• Close liaison with reservoir management group, offshore team, well operation & flow assurance team and gas consumers to get required information and update weekly production plan.

• Production optimization - Evaluate production processes and well performance & perform studies for maximizing recovery over life of field. Develop and propose optimization strategies for improving well productivity and/or reducing downtime.

• Water & Sand production management in wells – Perform well inflow/outflow modelling and nodal analysis. Evaluate, identify and troubleshoot liquid loading and unloading problems in oil/gas wells. Perform sand/solid transportation studies for oil/gas wells in subsea pipelines.

• Evaluate steady state & transient studies / simulations for oil & gas pipelines in production software (OLGA, PSS) to maximize/optimize production.

• Review and propose adaptations of the well work-over process; Set & review standards and Best Practices for Production Technology.

• Manage, motivate and develop directly subordinated employees. Assess performance of the Production Technology team and advise HOD on the outcome of the assessment.

• Define KPIs to monitor production planning, optimization and recovery from wells.

• Perform simulations in Offline PSS simulator for special operations and clearly report the findings.

• Collect relevant data and prepare reports, presentation and charts to reflect production status, forecast, planning and findings from simulations. Generate data for monthly reports and other special reports, as required.
