Production Engineering – Team Lead

About the position

HRSI is looking for Production Engineering – Team Lead for one of its leading client. Key Responsibilities 1. Integrated Well Analysis & Modelling: Conduct detailed production analyses of candidate wells. Perform wellbore modelling using PROSPER to evaluate fluid behavior, pressure losses, and flow performance. Develop and analyse network models using GAP to assess system constraints, backpressure effects, and well interdependencies. 2. Production Optimization: Evaluate existing well completions and recommend choke size optimization for improved flow efficiency. Analyse and optimize flowline configurations to reduce pressure losses and enhance productivity. Propose alternative completion strategies tailored to specific well conditions. 3. Water Management in Gas Wells: Develop and implement de-liquidation strategies for gas wells with high water cut to sustain and enhance gas production. 4. Water Shut-Off & Intervention Strategies: Identify water production sources using PLT and well log data. Recommend suitable shut-off techniques, including mechanical and chemical solutions, based on well diagnostics and available technologies. 5. Stimulation & Treatment Optimization: Review historical stimulation activities and validate proposed acid treatment designs. Recommend advanced stimulation techniques aligned with reservoir characteristics and global best practices. 6. Well Intervention Planning: Design and execute cost-effective rigless intervention programs to minimize downtime. Develop contingency plans to ensure successful execution under varying field conditions. 7. Workover Program Development: Prepare detailed workover programs, including equipment selection and risk mitigation strategies. Plan completion and testing programs for re-entry and complex wells. 8. Artificial Lift System (ALS) Optimization: Evaluate and optimize existing ALS systems (ESP, Rod Lift, PCP, Jet Pump, Gas Lift, etc.). Improve operational efficiency, reduce power consumption, and enhance production stability. Recommend appropriate lift systems for low-producing wells to maximize recovery. 9. Well Chemistry & Flow Assurance: Identify and optimize chemical treatments for stimulation, de-liquidation, and condensate management. Ensure compatibility of chemical solutions with reservoir and wellbore conditions. Collaborate with local and international vendors to source effective chemical technologies. 10. Field Execution & Supervision: Provide technical oversight during rigless interventions and rig-based workovers. Ensure execution aligns with approved strategies and monitor performance metrics. Continuously refine processes based on field results and operational feedback. Experience Minimum 15–20+ years of experience in Production / Petroleum Engineering within upstream oil & gas operations. Proven experience managing multi-asset or brownfield mature assets , including depleted, shut-in, and high water cut wells. Demonstrated leadership experience with 5+ years in team lead / managerial roles . Extensive hands-on experience in: Artificial Lift Systems design and evaluation (ESP, Gas Lift, Rod Pump, PCP, Jet Pump) Well intervention (rig and rigless operations) Production optimization and surveillance Exposure to international operations (Middle East, North America, Africa, or Asia) and working with multinational teams and service providers is preferred. Experience in production forecasting and field development planning is an advantage. Education Bachelor's degree in Petroleum Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering (mandatory). Master's degree in a relevant discipline (preferred). Professional affiliations/certifications (preferred): Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) PMP or equivalent project management certification (advantage) IWCF / Well Control certification (advantage) Technical Skills: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to work on complex production systems. Able to present complex technical concepts to management and non-technical stakeholders. Other Requirements: Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to present technical information to diverse audiences. Ability to work independently as well as in a team environment.
