Petroleum Engineer (Baku)

PE Specialist will be working with Data Scientists to solve complex Petroleum Engineering problems by development of digital solutions and automation techniques.

Responsibilities for this position may include but are not limited to:

• Performing Inflow Performance Relationship (IPR) analysis;

• Setting up surface well production facilities;

• Keeping track of the well production history;

• Working with completion engineers to design completion systems and stimulation techniques to maximize the production;

• Managing fluid treatment and disposal;

• Performing nodal analysis to ensure the optimal design for well production equipment is used;

• Designing and optimizing artificial lift systems to increase production rates. This involves working with sucker rod pumps, gas lifts, ESPs, PCPs, and hydraulic pumps;

• Forecasting well production and performing economic analysis

• Monitoring production performance and addressing any problems when the wells are not producing as expected;

• Designing workover well operations to improve production. This includes writing procedures and performing economic evaluations of the proposed operations;

• Planning Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) operations such as water flooding, CO2 injection, and chemical flooding.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Petroleum Engineering or related field;

• 5+ years’ experience as a production engineer in an upstream oil and gas industry;

• An intensive knowledge on different type of well stimulations from planning, designing and execution point of view;

• Expertise of the different fluid systems/stimulation completions;

• Skills in evaluating well performance pre — and post stimulation;

• Depth theoretical and hands-on knowledge of productivity enhancement performance evaluation techniques ;

• Ability to apply knowledge gained from industry and academia to generate practical solutions in upstream oil and gas production;

• Knowledge of reservoir characterization and geologic modeling, petro-physical evaluation, core analysis, reservoir management, and production engineering;

• Good communication, report writing and presentation skills in English, ability to deliver his/her ideas to the R&D team, the collaborators, and proponents;

• Fluent usage of professional software – PETEX (Prosper, MBal), Ecrin (Saphir, Topaze), WellFlow, FracproPT, PanSystem, Tempest, NGT Smart Basic data manipulation techniques (Python, etc.) is a plus.
