[06 / 10 / 2025] Lead Production Engineer

Interested candidates, kindly mail to enpcareers.hr@ril.com

Main Purpose :

Lead Engineer Production is responsible for production optimization of conventional oil & gas fields and CBM. This role involves leveraging analytical methodologies and simulation tools to enhance production performance, ensure operational efficiency, and support strategic decision-making. The candidate will work closely with operations and sub-surface teams to drive improvements in production management to maximize hydrocarbon recovery while maintaining strict adherence to health, safety, and environmental regulations

Job Responsibilities :

Production Performance Analysis and Optimization :

a. Monitor field production performance against potential, analyze production deferrals and identify remedials.

b. Develop the well and network model using simulation software like OLGA, PIPESIM, PROSPER, GAP etc., analyze production performance and establish requirements to maximize production potential.

c. Identify and work on opportunities to enhance Well inflow & outflow and network production performance.

d. Evaluate and optimize production performance from artificial lifted wells (PCP, SRP, Gas Lift) within field constraints.

e. Support in developing mid-to-long-term production plans in line with business objectives.

Field Operations Support :

a. Advice operations team on production optimization opportunities.

b. Identify and support in preventing operational issues / risks (i.e. hydrate, sand production, scale, wax etc.) that could lead to production downtime.

c. Support in formulating well interventions strategy for artificial lifted wells to sustain and enhance gas production.

d. Provide technical support in the planning and execution of innovative technologies to enhance production.

Technical Assurance and Compliance :

a. Support independent assurance on technical proposals for production management.

b. Support second line of defense, offering technical validation and risk assessments in line with industry standards and company policies.

c. Ensure that all new processes and technologies are aligned with health, safety, and environmental regulations.

Collaboration and Stakeholder Management :

a. Work closely with multi-functional teams.

b. Collaborate with site teams for implementation of opportunities to optimize and enhance production.

c. Foster a culture of continuous improvement in production excellence.

• Hands-on operational experience in well interventions / completions and artificial lifts like PCP & SRP + basic processing facilities
• Flow assurance / nodal analysis experience with integrated asset modeling (wells and flowline network)
• Advantage- with an experience of Hydrate, Sand Control, and Scale Management

Functional Competencies :

a. Operational experience in well completion, sand control, well interventions and basic processing facility.

b. Skilled in Well inflow, Well outflow, Production network and PVT modelling and performance analysis

c. Knowledge of using industry-standard nodal analysis software (e.g., OLGA, PIPESIM, PROSPER, GAP etc.)

d. Knowledge of flow assurance practices, including the management of hydrate formation, sand production, wax deposition, and scale formation.

e. Knowledge of Artificial lift systems such as PCP, SRP, gas lift etc.

Understanding of health, safety, and environmental regulations related to production activities.

Education Qualifications :

BE / B.Tech (Petroleum / Chemical / Mechanical)

Experience (Must Have) :

Min 10 Years’ experience in Upstream Oil & Gas sector
