Optimization Tech

Key Responsibilities

• Data Analysis and Optimization: Conducts real-time data analysis using SCADA systems to facilitate informed decision-making and manage complex processes.
• Collaboration: Collaborates with Engineers, Foremen, and Lease Operators to optimize well performance, troubleshoot issues, and contribute to well and route reviews.
• Well Maintenance: Manages minor subsurface well maintenance, including non-BOPE jobs (e.g., swabbing, slickline, jet pump-plunger maintenance, hot oil/water treatments, routine testing, chemical batch jobs, etc.), and performs dynamometer tests, fluid shots, and FBHP surveys as required.
• Subject Matter Expertise: Provides expertise in field operations, artificial lift, surface facility equipment operation and repair, oil and gas wells, and time management practices.
• Compliance: Ensures compliance with regulatory, environmental, and safety standards through close coordination with Engineers, Superintendents, Foremen, and Environmental Health and Safety teams.
• Cost and Efficiency Improvements: Identifies and implements opportunities to reduce operational costs, decrease production variance, and improve efficiency and safety based on expertise in field operations.
• SOP Development: Develops and implements Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for maintenance processes, contributing to safe and efficient operations.
• Training and Mentorship: Assists in the orientation and training of junior staff, sharing knowledge on artificial lift optimization, controls monitoring, and production operations.
• Field Operations Communication: Serves as the primary point of contact when troubleshooting field operations, ensuring effective communication and coordination.
• Safety: Maintains the right and obligation to stop work in unsafe conditions, ensuring a safe working environment for all personnel.

Requirements

• High School Diploma, General Education Diploma (GED), or higher secondary education, or commensurate work experience.
• Minimum of 7 years of relevant experience in E&P operations, specializing in Lease Operations, Process Optimization, Equipment Operations and Repair, or a related field. Industry experience is preferred.

Competencies

• Communication Skills: Strong oral and written communication abilities.
• Results-Oriented: Focused on achieving goals and optimizing well performance.
• Active Learning: Continuously develops new skills and knowledge relevant to the field.
• Digital Literacy: Proficient with digital tools and data analysis.
• Business Acumen: Strong understanding of business processes and financial impact in field operations.

Skills

• Proficient with SCADA systems and data analysis tools.
• Expertise in Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and Statistical Process Control (SPC).
• Skilled in troubleshooting and problem-solving.
• Familiarity with simulation software and modeling.
• Strong knowledge of equipment maintenance and well operations.
• Experience with XSPOC or equivalent optimization software.
• Proficient using Echometer Equipment tools.
