Production Engineer Consultant

Role Overview

Production Engineer Consultant at Weatherford UAE. This role leads and supports the implementation, integration, and sustainment of the ForeSite Legacy platform and associated petroleum engineering workflows across a variety of field types and artificial lift systems.

Role Purpose

Lead technical implementation of ForeSite digital workflows and production optimization tools. Drive adoption of the digital oil field ecosystem through platform deployment, workflow design, and multidisciplinary coordination to ensure successful integration with field operations and performance sustainability.

Key Responsibilities

ForeSite Platform Implementation & Optimization

• Lead deployment and configuration of ForeSite modules for various artificial lift types (SRP, PCP, ESP, Gas Lift).
• Oversee integration with SCADA, data historians, and field instrumentation systems.
• Customize digital workflows to support well monitoring, alarm management, model updates, well test validation, and optimization strategies.
• Validate data quality and model alignment, ensuring digital outputs reflect operational and engineering realities.

Production Engineering & Optimization

• Analyze well performance and identify optimization opportunities based on exception-based events and ForeSite insights.
• Support field teams in diagnosing lift system performance issues and recommending optimization actions.
• Contribute to the development and calibration of well models, surface network models, and optimization scenarios.
• Collaborate with operations, field development, and reservoir teams to align surveillance and intervention priorities.

Workflow Design & Technical Enablement

• Lead the design and deployment of end-to-end digital workflows (e.g., well test validation, downtime categorization, steam allocation, CIW follow-up).
• Develop and document technical procedures, SOPs, and user guides for ForeSite users.
• Provide coaching, mentoring, and structured training sessions to client engineers and field users.

Project Management Support & Reporting

• Contribute to project planning, milestone tracking, and stakeholder engagement during system rollouts.
• Monitor well connectivity, data availability, and system uptime; coordinate actions for hardware or software issues.
• Prepare technical reports, success stories, and justifications for system expansion, enhancements, or maintenance requirements.

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Petroleum Engineering.
• Minimum 5 years of experience in production engineering and artificial lift optimization.
• Experience with ForeSite platform or similar production optimization tools.
• Familiarity with SCADA systems, real-time monitoring, and exception-based surveillance.

Skills & Competencies

• Strong communication, documentation, and technical mentoring capabilities.
• Proficiency in production data analysis tools (e.g., Spotfire, Power BI) is an advantage.
• Experience with multi-lift environments and varying field conditions (onshore/offshore, conventional/unconventional).
• Knowledge of surface network modeling, real-time optimization, and integration with business intelligence tools.
