Contract
Our client is currently recruiting for the position of Production Technologist based in Aberdeen. This is a 6 month PAYE contractor position with a North Sea operator.
Role Overview
Responsible for the Petroleum Engineering deliverables across company’s Operated Late Life Asset Portfolio including well integrity management throughout the operate stages of well lifecycle.
Key Tasks / Responsibilities
- The Asset PT is responsible for managing the health of platform and subsea well stock across the two assets as part of a multidisciplinary surveillance team, including well performance analysis using the PETEX suite of tools to ensure the system is optimised and operating to its full potential.
- The PT shall identify and drive the delivery of value adding well intervention activities and hydrocarbon maturation capital projects. This includes ownership and management of technical and non-technical risks.
- Supporting the Senior Production Technologist, the Asset PT is responsible for managing well integrity throughout the operate stage of the well lifecycle. The PT will be responsible for assessing Well Integrity Test results against Company Performance Standards and raising failures through competence with the Company Well Failure Model. Subsequently, the PT is responsible for owning the maturation process to remediate well integrity issues (both trees and in-well issues) by integrating a multi-disciplinary team to deliver projects.
- Wells from these assets are mostly gas lifted and produce from unconsolidated sandstone reservoirs. The PT is accountable for ensuring gas lift systems are optimised effectively (both platform and subsea fields) and for managing the end-to-end (reservoir to export) sand control strategy on behalf of the asset.
- PT is responsible for Petroleum Engineering compliance with Company Design & Engineering Practices and responsible for the implementation of the Company HSE Standards & Policies.
