Responsibilities:
The Production Engineering Consultant actively performs standard production
engineering operations, to include providing evaluation of production history
under natural and artificial lift constrained to surface network operations,
to deliver Production Optimization solutions for clients. Acting as a key
technical contributor, this role helps to identify potential issues or
favourable conditions in order to optimize economic recovery from a well. The
role should be able to comprehend and explain the inputs such as data &
assumptions, workflow, results and recommendations with client and the
implications/impact of these on operations.

* Understand DOF concepts and apply under supervision to:
* Configure and trouble shoot a SCADA system incorporating RTU's, gauges
* Understand configuration requirements and communication protocols necessary to acquire data from field
* Understand data flow between SCADA and production optimization platform to monitor real time production operations
* Perform flow assurance studies under supervision.
* Perform risk and economic analysis, under supervision.
* Demonstrate basic awareness of additional relevant technical domains, such as: Geology, Petrophysics, Geophysics and Production Engineering; and the integration of results with other technology, such as Drilling, Logging by:
* Performing qualitative interpretation of petrophysical inputs and reservoir properties
* Providing production, pressure, lift characteristics data necessary for history match
* Evaluating output from reservoir simulation for history match, conformance of forecast constraint to field conditions
* Make decisions within established guidelines, seeking advice of senior team members on new or unfamiliar challenges or situations falling outside of normal procedures.
