Description

POSITION SUMMARY:

This position will provide Production Engineering technical support for Hess' development projects and producing assets. The position requires experience in analysis and optimization of all components of the production system. Normal job duties will be to model and/or analyze the performance of existing and planned wells, gathering systems and facilities to ensure optimum production delivery from Hess' assets.

ROLES/RESPONSIBILITIES:

* Prepare the functional requirements for well completion and recompletion designs in conjunction with subsurface and completions engineers, including material and elastomer requirements, tubing size, perforation requirements, smart well system, etc.
* Design the well testing and downhole and/or subsea metering requirements, and production data requirements for new wells
* Artificial lift system design and optimization
* Develop and maintain well performance models for all existing and proposed wells. Utilize trending and visualization tools to validate production and allocation data and ensure compliance with specified operating limits
* Build, maintain and optimize integrated production models for all wells, gathering systems and production facilities
* Develop the well specific operating envelopes and well management guidelines for drawdown, liquid/gas coning, liquid lifting
* Prepare recommendations for well and/or production system modifications to optimize production including economic analysis of opportunities
* Analyze and prepare recommendations for injection and producing zone fluid management
* Flow assurance and production chemistry analysis and management, including prediction of paraffin, asphaltines, and scale deposition
* Well test analysis
* Assess Life Cycle stimulation requirements and incorporate in design and operating plans
* Production forecasting, in collaboration with the operations engineer and subsurface team
* Production log recommendations and analysis
* Sand production management, including design and recommendation of sand production monitoring systems
* Formation damage identification and assessment of stimulation requirements. Design of well treatment recommendations in conjunction with subsurface and operations engineers
* Erosional velocity analysis and optimization
* Identification, assessment and implementation of new technologies to enhance well and field performance
