- Building surface network models incorporating wells, pipelines, pumps, separators and delivery nodes
- Define forecast scenarios incorporating reservoir deliverability constraints, flow capacity, processing capacity and economic constraints.
- Perform surface network optimization under production constraints, delivery requirements, lift gas availability, injection water availability or produced liquid handling.
- Identifying bottlenecks and flow issues impacting performance
- Performing reliability and failure analysis of well and surface network under supervision to establish root cause analysis of failure and suggest mitigation techniques for future operations
- Conducting Integrated Asset Modelling including material balance (MB), wells, network modelling, and recommend the optimum operating conditions.
- Having experience in subsea wells including tie-back process, well performance, hydrate, wax and slugging risk assessment, well testing, etc.
- Conducting pressure transient analysis (PTA) and rate transient analysis (RTA) studies
- Understanding Digital Oilfield concepts as following:
- Understand configuration requirements and communication protocols necessary to acquire data from field
- Understand data flow between SCADA and production optimization platform to monitor real time production operations
- Conducting flow assurance studies including formation damage identification, causes and solutions to mitigate various types of scales.
- Performing risk assessment and economic analysis.
- Demonstrating basic awareness of additional relevant technical domains, such as: Geology, Petrophysics, Geophysics and Reservoir Engineering; and the integration of results with other technology, such as: Drilling, Logging.
- Working independently or as part of a team on assigned projects as instructed, complying with verbal and written instructions and procedures.
- Providing technical guidance to junior professionals or technicians.
- Producing technical reports and presentations.
- Supporting Product Lines engineers with design of the equipment related to core business / new applications
- Evaluating new technologies, tools or techniques, and decide on suitability, assist in the presentation of proposals to management and technical and operating groups.
- Participating in project technical reviews and review proposals to ensure efficient/economic operations.
- Completing all mandatory training as assigned, including the required HSE training. Maintain an acceptable HSE record and comply with all safety rules and company policies of Baker Hughes.
- Performing various other duties and activities as assigned by supervisor within the physical constraints of the job.
