Lead Engineer Production

Job Description JOB DESCRIPTION Job Role: Lead Engineer Production SECTION II: PURPOSE OF THE ROLE The Lead Production Engineer is responsible for supporting, optimizing, and debottlenecking production operations across oil and gas including CBM fields. This role involves leveraging advanced analytical methodologies and simulation tools to enhance production performance, ensure operational efficiency, and support strategic decision-making. The candidate will work closely with asset teams to drive improvements in production, reliability, equipment uptime, and cost efficiency, while maintaining strict adherence to health, safety, and environmental regulations. SECTION III: KEY RESPONSIBILITIES AND ACCOUNTABILITIES OF THE ROLE List of responsibilities attached to the role are documented below. These responsibilities are representative, the role holder is also responsible for any other job assigned by the superior authorities from time to time. This section in not intended to be an exhaustive listing of all activities done by the role holder. It should capture only the key responsibilities of the role Responsibilities 1. Production Performance Analysis and Optimization: - Monitoring daily production from Oil & Gas and CBM assets along with analysis of deviations. - Monitoring performance of well completion, inflow and outflow curves, artificial lift systems operating in field. - Routinely analyze performance of surface facilities, pipeline network, produced HC and water chemistry, injected chemicals including flow assurance aspects. - Utilize simulation software such as OLGA, PIPESIM, and PROSPER to conduct in-depth studies and optimize field production. - Recommend for Production Optimization and Debottlenecking opportunities. - Analyze and monitor manage field water production including Artificial lift systems and provide solutions to sustain and enhance gas production. 1. Technical Assurance and Compliance: - Review and provide independent assurance on technical proposals from assets. - Ensure compliance with industry standards and Codes, procedures, and company policies. - Ensure that all new processes and technologies are aligned with health, safety, and environmental regulations. 1. Collaboration and Stakeholder Management: - Work closely with asset and business teams. - Collaborate with site teams for implementation of technical proposals.
