Production & Well Performance Engineer at TotalEnergies EP Nigeria Limited

Job Title: Production & Well performance Engineer

Context & Environment

• EGINA field at plateau; depletion and water breakthrough.
• The importance of the job relies in addressing, solving transverse subjects: in between main E&P domains of competencies (from Geosciences to Subsea or Maintenance), link to IT & data management preparing sustainably future activities within TEPNG Well Performance.
• Egina FPSO and AKPO FPSO will be sharing gas export line imposing a common constraint.

Job Purpose

• This job position has been created to perform surveillance; 1st level diagnosis and optimisation of Egina wells.

Activities
Well and network operational performance:

• Ensure the well production/injection measurement are reliable at well level. Coordinate with planning & site the wells & riser monitoring tests. Validate wells potential with correct the setting of operating parameters.
• Accountable for day to day follow-up of the performance of the individual’s risers and the wells in liaison with Smart Room.
• Establish frequently the wells operating guidelines in terms of both production & injection with full respect of reservoir management & HSE concerns (monthly instructions, well restart procedures, setup of OCWR).
• Assists sites to operate wells & networks in a safe, autonomous and efficient manner
• Take part of task forces as required by DW needs.
• Advice on best network routing during plan and/or unplanned shutdowns and during top side interventions which poses temporary new production constraints.

Well and network optimization and development:

• Interface with new developments and provide feedback to project.
• Provide up to date well numerical models (PROSPER) for well performance diagnose and production/injection optimization including network numerical model (GAP) for optimum production (RESOLVE-GIRO) through routing optimization.
• Perform Productivity / Injectivity studies
• Riser Base Gas lift optimization
• Ensure the permanent diagnostic of the well productivity evolutions. Detect any anomalies of well/riser dynamic behavior and modification in the well output. Validate results with correct the set- up.
• Follow-up Well Performance KPIs for Egina and Inform Head of department
• Lead the Egina Well Performance Group through monthly meeting aiming to identify barrel gain opportunities, well integrity concerns and potential well interventions (ex. Stimulation, WSO)

Special studies:

• Well Metering and Well production allocation: Be the focal point between TEPNG and the MPFM RMM on Egina. Follow-up and dialogue with expertise at Headquarters. Define the need to update well MPFM and ensure that the correction factor implementation and their consistent follow-up over time. Support the ‘’Well Review Meeting “and make the update permanent.
• Well interventions: Strongly participate to support Well interventions / Wells candidate’s selection and establish the SOR in order to maximize the success ratio on realized interventions in perfect HSE conformity with FPSO & Intervention vessel

Job Dimensions

• Production:
  • 17 off-shore (deep water) producer wells.
  • 16 off-shore (deep water) water injectors wells.
  • Current production = 85,000 barrels of oil per day & 3.0 MSm3/d of Gas
  • 1 numerical / analytical network model including 33 well models
• Transversal management: Leads multi-disciplinary Well Performance Group transversally (Well Performance, Geoscience, Field Operations, Drilling…)
• Technology involved: deep-water technology, Subsea Production Systems, FPSO, gas export, water injection

Candidate Profile

• Education: Petroleum/Chemical/Mechanical Engineering Degree (or equivalent)
• Professional experience: 5-8 years in Oil & Gas field with experience as Process, Production, Reservoir or Drilling & well engineer
• Language: English – fluent level
• Transverse competencies in geosciences, production and particularly in well operations domain.
• Software skills: PROSPER, GAP, IFM, IVM, OLGA, PI-AF; and skills in Excel, VBA and Access.
• Social skills: autonomous, curious, analysis skills, cross-functional
