Job Description

Roles & Responsibilities

Main tasks and responsibilities

Production System Concept & Development Studies

• Lead production engineering input into Concept Select, Pre-FEED, FEED, and Field Development Plan (FDP) studies.
• Develop and evaluate well and production system design options (well architecture, completion strategy, artificial lift screening where applicable).
• Assess surface and subsurface integration to ensure optimal reservoir-to-export system design.
• Conduct deliverability and network modeling studies to define production capacity scenarios.

Production Forecasting & Technical Assumptions

• Develop technically sound production forecasts and decline profiles in collaboration with Subsurface teams.
• Validate well productivity assumptions, inflow performance, and reservoir deliverability inputs.
• Provide production scenarios for economic modeling and portfolio evaluation.
• Support reserves maturation processes with defensible production modeling.

Development Optimization & Value Engineering

• Identify development optimization opportunities to enhance recovery and capital efficiency.
• Evaluate alternative development concepts, phasing strategies, and infrastructure sizing.
• Conduct sensitivity analyses on well count, spacing, timing, and production plateau strategies.
• Support value engineering initiatives to improve project economics prior to FID.

Commercial & Economic Integration

• Provide production engineering inputs for economic evaluations, including capex profiling and operating strategy assumptions.
• Ensure alignment between production strategies and gas sales agreements, capacity commitments, and commercialization plans.
• Support investment memoranda and technical justification for new venture approvals.
• Participate in asset screening and ranking exercises from a production feasibility perspective.

Risk & Uncertainty Management

• Identify technical risks affecting production performance, ramp-up timing, and recovery.
• Conduct scenario and probabilistic analysis on production uncertainties.
• Define mitigation strategies to reduce subsurface and development risks prior to sanction.

Governance & Technical Assurance

• Establish production engineering standards, modeling workflows, and study assurance processes.
• Review and validate production studies performed by consultants or partners.
• Ensure compliance with company technical authority frameworks and industry best practices.

Leadership & Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Act as the production engineering focal point within Commercial, interfacing with Geoscience, Reservoir Engineering, Economics, Facilities, and Drilling teams.
• Represent production engineering matters in JV technical committees and partner reviews.
• Build internal capability in production modeling and integrated asset studies.
