About The Position

We are seeking an early-career Production Engineer (1–3 years of experience) to join our onshore oil and gas team. In this role, you will support the optimization of hydrocarbon production from onshore wells, working closely with multidisciplinary teams to implement strategies that enhance production rates while maintaining a strong commitment to safety and environmental standards. This is a great opportunity for a motivated engineer looking to grow their technical skills and make a meaningful impact in a hands-on, field-facing environment.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Petroleum Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or related field.
1-3 years of experience in production engineering within the oil and gas industry, with a focus on onshore operations.
Experience with artificial lift design and optimization techniques.
Familiarity with HSE regulations and industry best practices.
Strong understanding of reservoir engineering principles and production operations.
Excellent communication skills

Nice To Haves

Experience working with onshore drilling and production facilities preferred.
Demonstrated track record of optimizing production and implementing cost-effective solutions.
Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
Effective communication and teamwork abilities.

Responsibilities

Analyze well performance data, including production rates, pressure, and fluid characteristics, to identify opportunities for improving production efficiency.
Implement surveillance programs to monitor well performance and identify potential issues such as declining production rates or equipment malfunctions.
Design, optimize, and troubleshoot artificial lift systems such as rod pumps, gas lift, and electrical submersible pumps (ESPs) to maximize production from onshore wells.
Collaborate with reservoir engineers to understand reservoir behavior and implement strategies for optimizing hydrocarbon recovery.
Plan and oversee workover operations to restore or enhance production from existing wells, including perforation, stimulation, and equipment repair or replacement.
Monitor and manage production chemistry issues such as scale deposition, corrosion, and emulsion formation to ensure smooth operation and minimize downtime.
Ensure compliance with HSE regulations and standards, conduct risk assessments, and implement measures to mitigate operational risks.
Optimize production operations to minimize operating expenses while maximizing production revenue.
Identify opportunities for process optimization and cost reduction through innovation and best practices implementation.
