PRODUCTION ENGINEER

• Own production optimization and well performance for wells in the Fayetteville Shale asset inclusive of plan, forecast, actuals, underperformance identification and associated intervention actions, and AL strategy by well.
• Review, explain, and recommend solutions to drive improvements in daily production performance.
• Support field operations team through rapid response engineering and troubleshooting support.
• Work with operations team to collect failure data, determine RCFA, and develop and execute projects to reduce failures, reduce cost of failures, and improve production reliability and safety.
• Review, analyze, and improve cost performance across LOE and workover expense categories.
• Develop and implement an optimized artificial lift lifecycle for all wells in the Fayetteville Shale asset.
• Effectively engage with A&D team to determine new well management strategy and AL lifecycle considerations for optimal well performance.
• Manage and optimize chemical treatment and flow assurance programs.
• Manage and optimize mechanical integrity for downhole equipment and components to extend AL and wellbore survivability.
• Project manage implementation of engineered solutions: budgets, project economic analysis, resources, schedule, handover to field operations, and post project appraisals.
• Expect travel to the field approximately 10% percent of the time to meet with the field team and critical contractual partners.
