Strong people skills, communication and presentation skills are critical for success in this role.
Independently perform all responsibilities expected of Consultant Production Engineer. Provide technical leadership role for production analysis, and optimize production under surface and reservoir constraints.
Select ideal IPR based on well productivity. Determine operating point and changes to completion needed over the life of well.
Identify inflow performance problems and recommend mitigation procedure. Quantify formation damage and its impact on performance.
Define model inputs necessary for reservoir simulation such as VLP curve, surface or bottomhole pressure constraints.
Perform nodal analysis, tubing lift calculations, tubing lift evaluation.
Design, analyse and optimize artificial lift systems including but not limited to gas lift, ESP, rod lift, jet pump etc. Specify equipment and field services required for installation, operation and maintenance of recommended design.
Identify production issues caused by near wellbore issues e.g. skin or permeability degradation, sand production, wellbore issues e.g. liquid loading, hydrates, paraffin, asphaltenes and recommend solutions to assure optimal flow.
Build black oil, extended black oil, compositional, EOR and thermal models for well and surface network.
Perform routine QA/QC on all production and completion data relevant to building production models.
Independently perform material balance (MB), pressure transient analysis (PTA) and rate transient analysis (RTA) studies to define.
Near wellbore damage or skin. Flow boundaries as observed in buildup or drawdown data.
Determine reservoir size, drive mechanism and explain observed pressure depletion.
Provide reservoir PI decline forecast and EUR with uncertainties.
Evaluate surface production facilities impact on short-term, mid-term and long-term field performance by:
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.
Create risk and economic analysis with minimal supervision, prepare recommendations.
Perform surface network optimization under production constraints, delivery requirements, lift gas availability, injection water availability or produced liquid handling.
Identify bottlenecks and flow issues impacting performance.
