About The Position

The liquids-rich Eagle Ford tight oil trend, located in the Western Gulf Coast Basin of south Texas, represents the company’s second-most prolific unconventional resource development. ConocoPhillips was one of the first companies into the liquids play, resulting in a low-cost entry into this acreage. In 2009, the company began exploring the development potential of this play and by year-end 2023 held approximately 199,000 net unconventional leasehold and mineral acres, primarily in DeWitt, Karnes and Live Oak counties. We hold approximately 484,000 unconventional net acres in the Eagle Ford, located in south Texas. The current focus is on full-field development, using customized well spacing and stacking patterns adapted through reservoir analysis. We operated seven rigs and two frac crews on average during 2024, resulting in 182 operated wells drilled and 154 operated wells brought online. During 2024, net production in 2024 averaged 244 MBOED. This position serves as I&E Specialists within the Maintenance and Reliability (M&R) I&E Department. This department supports Engineering, Base Production, First Delivery, Facility Operations, and Maintenance groups which are responsible for the operation and maintenance of over 2000 wells, 60 Central facilities and 2 Stabilizer facilities. The asset has an active development program which adds 150 plus wells to the asset base each year. This position will not have direct reports but will be expected to mentor employees in the fields of I&E Safety, Design, Development, Optimization, and Maintenance. This position will report to the Stabilizer I&E and Systems Supervisor. This is a Safety Sensitive position.
