Location:-
Kuwait

Role Summary:-
Petroleum Engineer with experience in Well Intervention, well Completions, Stimulation, engineering 

Essential Responsibilities:-
To act as Senior Petroleum Engineer as part of a multi-disciplinary and multi-consulting environment to advise on production enhancement for carbonate gas/condensate reservoirs.
* Experience with multiple types of technologies relevant for production enhancement and using them appropriately.
* Carryout diagnostic analysis of wells to determine reasons for low productivity of wells.
· Generate vertical flow profile tables for the dynamic modeling study.
· Review existing cased/open hole well completions and evaluate their benefits and drawbacks.
- Proficient in well intervention designs.
· Recommend well completion designs for new wells and work over side tracks
- Proficient in rigless operations support.
· Identify potential candidate from existing wells, recommend and design suitable stimulation plan (acid/fracturing) with significant oil gain
· Carry out risk assessments related to stimulation job procedures in collaboration with FD, well surveillance and other service providers
· Supervise the stimulation job implementation, if required
· Carry out post job evaluation and present the results to team/management
· Analyze all types of cement evaluation logs for wells and prepare interpretation report
· Analyze all types of corrosion log for tubing/casing for wells and prepare interpretation report
· Analyze PLT/Temp survey results and identify well integrity issues.
· Combine PLT results with current water injection strategy and mitigate water-flooding
· Recommend suitable diagnostic tools for identification of cement quality behind multiple casings with heavy mud
· Recommend remedial action to improve well integrity and reduce corrosion/impact of corrosion
· Formulate well integrity and corrosion monitoring plan for wells (rig-less & with rig)
· Evaluate and execute full scale implementation of relevant technology.
· Working on production chemistry and flow assurance issues.
· Has good communication/ project management skills for effective coordination with Team members, other departments and service providers
· Has coaching and mentoring ability to impart skills and knowledge to younger team members.
· Willing to carry out other related tasks.
Qualifications/Requirements:

· Worked as for an oil exploration & production company or international service company.
· Direct experience in maximizing well productivity from tight carbonate reservoirs including experience and expertise to optimize and improve performance of wells on artificial lift/ESP. Experience in unconventional/kerogen/naturally fractured reservoirs would be an added qualification
· Hands-on experience in stimulation of tight carbonate reservoirs, especially in acidization and frac design.
· Capability to specify well completion techniques with good experience in designing and implementing horizontal and multilateral wells.
· Capable of planning and implementation of well interventions and workovers, for the purpose of stimulation/fracturing and evaluation of production potential
· Extensive knowledge on AL, especially ESP and PCP (from design to DIFA analysis), knowledge on ESP KPI definition (MTBF/RL) and implementation.
· Working knowledge of production optimization techniques
· Expertise in Nodal Analysis software.
· Experience on well modelling and network preparation, validation and update (PROSPER/GAPS/PIPESIM/OFM).
· Should have very good knowledge of tools/techniques used in identifying well integrity and corrosion issues
· Should be familiar with different types of HP-HT well completions & capable of recommending completion material suitable to address H2S/CO2/highly saline formation water.
