Sr Lead Production Engineer

Interested candidates, kindly mail to Main 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 Engineering Experience: - Minimum 15 years of experience in the upstream oil & gas sector, with proven expertise in production engineering and field optimization.
