Production Programmer at Execution Edge Limited

Description:

Job Summary: Production Programmer is required to maximize hydrocarbon production from the well production assets through good well data, well activity management, identification and follow up on unrealized production potential. In addition, s/he will be required to optimise within the operating envelope and work with Wells and Reservoir Management (WRM) team to improve production performance.

Key Roles & Responsibilities:

• Perform well monitoring, optimisation (within operating envelope), data analysis, and trending on oil/gas production, gas/water injection, flaring and well issues (using PI/Shurooq) to explain production fluctuations & identify concerns vs targets for oil, gas, water.
• Monitor production optimisation and new oil, and highlight tripped wells to Production Technologist
• Ensure that well parameters, i.e. Flowline pressures are maintained and updated in the production Dashboard.
• Provide Field Operations with outline of well activity programmes for all non-standard well entries (repairs, surveys, stimulations, etc.).
• Produce like for like artificial lift designs and coordinate with PT to amend existing designs when required for production optimisation
• Troubleshooting of Well issues and artificial lift issues (work with Field Programmer/Production Technologist)
• Drive well management improvements through evaluation of behaviour, diagnosis and raise proposals to the Well services section or engineering liaison function for implementation.
• Define routine requirements for sampling / CO2 tracer surveys / Flush by unit restoration activities.
• Monitor meter issues for overall production / well testing and gas/water balance/reconciliation factors
• Work with WRM team to identify short and medium-term scope oil optimisation, currently un-produced oil, through a structured review of existing well performance against theoretical production potential, to take cost-effective measures to realize this scope and participate in periodic Well performance reviews and subsurface meetings.
• Maintain Integrated Production System Capacity with input from process engineering
• Provide subsurface/Wells-related activity input for the Integrated Activities Plan, Monthly & Short term (2yr) production forecast working with WRM teams, Well Services and Operations services consistent with the Operations Business Plan.
• Review weekly/ monthly Deferment data (deferment code & duration), Reconciliation Factor, Maximum Rate of Produced Water (MRPW) data & weekly data quality checks and update monthly waterflood reports, water and gas balances.
• Create swing list and creaming curve 1st and 3rd week of the month and ad hoc if required (for tank top, water injection restrictions, gas compressor restrictions).

Requirements:

• B.Sc. in engineering
• Minimum of five years relevant experience especially in an oil producing environment (operating companies preferred).
• Minimum of 5 years’ relevant experience
• Extensive experience in the oil industry with at least considerable relevant production operations experience in surface and subsurface operations.
• Good understanding of well surveillance, troubleshooting and several artificial lift techniques, computer literacy, and familiarity with typical standard hydrocarbon accounting tools is required.
