Sr Lead Production Engineer

Interested candidates, kindly mail to Purpose:The Senior Lead Production Engineer is responsible for driving production optimization across conventional oil & gas fields and CBM assets. The role demands leveraging advanced analytical tools, simulation models, and flow assurance practices to maximize hydrocarbon recovery, ensure operational efficiency, and enable strategic decision-making. The incumbent will collaborate closely with operations and sub-surface teams to enhance field performance, mitigate risks, and sustain long-term production—while maintaining strict adherence to health, safety, and environmental (HSE) standards.Job Accountabilities:1. Production Performance Analysis & Optimization- Monitor and analyze field production performance against potential, identifying deferrals and recommending remedial measures.- Build well and network models using industry-standard simulation software (OLGA, PIPESIM, PROSPER, GAP, etc.) to evaluate production potential and bottlenecks.- Identify opportunities to enhance well inflow, outflow, and network production efficiency.- Evaluate and optimize production from artificial lift systems (PCP, SRP, Gas Lift), ensuring alignment with field constraints.- Support development of mid- to long-term production strategies in line with business goals.2. Field Operations Support- Provide hands-on technical expertise in well interventions, completions, artificial lifts (PCP & SRP), and basic processing facilities.- Advise operations teams on production optimization opportunities and troubleshoot operational challenges.- Prevent and mitigate risks related to hydrate formation, sand production, wax deposition, and scale management to minimize downtime.- Support well intervention strategies and execution plans for artificial lift wells to sustain/enhance production.- Drive the deployment of innovative technologies and best practices to maximize efficiency.3. Flow Assurance & Nodal Analysis- Apply nodal analysis and integrated asset modeling (wells and flowline network) for production enhancement.- Ensure robust flow assurance practices, including hydrate control, sand management, and scale inhibition.- Collaborate with surface and subsurface teams to address production bottlenecks through integrated solutions.4. Technical Assurance & Compliance- Provide independent technical assurance and validation of production management proposals.- Conduct risk assessments and ensure alignment with company standards and international industry practices.- Uphold strict compliance with health, safety, and environmental regulations in all production activities.5. Collaboration & Leadership- Partner with multi-functional and site-based teams to implement production optimization initiatives.- Mentor and lead a team of production engineers, fostering a culture of operational excellence and continuous improvement.- Act as a key technical interface with stakeholders to drive production efficiency and strategic alignment.Functional Competencies:- Strong operational background in well completions, interventions, artificial lift systems (PCP, SRP, Gas Lift), and surface processing facilities.- Proficiency in well inflow/outflow analysis, PVT modeling, and production network simulation.- Skilled in nodal analysis using OLGA, PIPESIM, PROSPER, GAP, and related tools.- Expertise in flow assurance: hydrate, sand, wax, and scale management.- In-depth knowledge of production optimization methodologies and artificial lift performance.- Comprehensive understanding of HSE regulations and industry best practices.Education:- B.E / B.Tech in Petroleum, Chemical, or Mechanical EngineeringExperience:- Minimum 15 years of experience in the upstream oil & gas sector, with proven expertise in production engineering and field optimization.Interested candidates, kindly mail to
