Artificial Lift Technician

Overall Objective

The Artificial Lift Technician is under the supervision of the Optimization Foreman and is responsible for well optimization at the asset level. This includes- but not limited to- analysis of individual well performance and evaluation of underperforming production, utilizing the Echo-meter Digital Well Analyzer System (tubing integrity evaluation, fluid level data, plunger tracking, gas lift valve performance, etc.) and Cygnet/well test data. The Optimization Specialist/Analyst works directly with other analysts and engineers to improve well production and diagnose well performance issues.

Maintain compliance for all relevant Mesquite procedures and policies.
