Completions and Workover Engineering Specialist

Major Challenge

The Completions and Workover programs are highly complex, involving challenging operations and a diverse mix of activity / well types. Some examples of the challenges include 

(1) multiple parallel projects with dynamic schedules, tight schedule constraints, and uncertainty in sequencing of rig activities; 

(2) diverse mix of activities and well designs (e.g., spare slot vs. new wellhead platforms, monobore vs. OBB well designs, standard vs. sub-horizontal (SHZ) well architecture; 

(3) brownfield work conducted among increasingly congested facilities and depleted reservoirs increasing risk and complexity;

(4) complex interfaces among organizations and increasing requirements for planning and administration; 

(5) new wells in expansion areas are longer and more complex than historical QG wells; 

(6) coordination of 10+ rigs with changing contracting strategy may lead to additional new rig start-ups for any of the projects; 

(7) driving service quality from all service partners.

Key Job Accountabilities

1. Provide Specialist level expertise for high volume of completion and workover rig activity by planning, developing, and reviewing completion and workover procedures.

2. Adapt proven completion, workover, and stimulation practices to meet the new challenges of sub-horizontal well completions and stimulation.
3. Apply job knowledge and experience to ensure readiness for broad range of outcomes in completions and workover with high degree of uncertainty.
4. Provide expertise in troubleshooting and resolving issues as they arise during execution of completion and workover programs.
5. Drive contractor performance by establishing high expectations and applying contractor management tools to achieve success.
6. Effectively interface with stakeholders, including other functions within Client and (when appropriate) Shareholders.
7. Enhance D&C organizational capability by providing mentorship and guidance for nationals, QG direct hires, and secondees with less experience in rig operations.
8. Perform and act as a bridge to NFPS and NFE/NFS development capturing and applying learnings from previous programs.
