PRODUCTION ENGINEER

Flywheel Energy•Damascus, AL

1d•Onsite

About The Position

Own production optimization and well performance for wells in the Fayetteville Shale asset inclusive of plan, forecast, actuals, underperformance identification and associated intervention actions, and AL strategy by well. Review, explain, and recommend solutions to drive improvements in daily production performance. Support field operations team through rapid response engineering and troubleshooting support. Work with operations team to collect failure data, determine RCFA, and develop and execute projects to reduce failures, reduce cost of failures, and improve production reliability and safety. Review, analyze, and improve cost performance across LOE and workover expense categories. Develop and implement an optimized artificial lift lifecycle for all wells in the Fayetteville Shale asset. Effectively engage with A&D team to determine new well management strategy and AL lifecycle considerations for optimal well performance. Manage and optimize chemical treatment and flow assurance programs. Manage and optimize mechanical integrity for downhole equipment and components to extend AL and wellbore survivability. Project manage implementation of engineered solutions: budgets, project economic analysis, resources, schedule, handover to field operations, and post project appraisals. Expect travel to the field approximately 10% percent of the time to meet with the field team and critical contractual partners.

Requirements

Education - A bachelor’s degree in petroleum engineering or a closely related field is required.
