Job Summary
The role is responsible for designing, planning, coordinating, and supporting the execution of stimulation interventions in naturally fractured carbonate reservoirs to optimise production and injection safely and cost-effectively.
Key Responsibilities
- Work closely with service companies to achieve optimum design of planned stimulation (recipe, pump schedule and flowback)
- Writing of specialised stimulation intervention programs for wells in fractured carbonates to achieve safe, technically sound and cost-efficient treatment
- Develop detailed well stimulation cost estimates for assessing the economic viability of the intervention
- Design and execute quality assurance/quality control, and perform post-job analysis for well stimulations
- Determine production improvement potential for wells. Perform studies and projects assuring adequacy and conformance to overall objectives of all phases of problems in areas including stimulation, production, well design/testing programs, reservoir flow properties & fluid studies
- Working closely with the organisation, you will plan, monitor and validate well surveillance activities to ensure well integrity
- Identify, evaluate, and select potential vendors to support well simulations
- Maintain safety as a core principle in every aspect of the job and serve as a safety leader
- Manage the post-well operations reporting process to ensure the optimisation of operational data collation and interrogation to be used for continuous design and operational improvement
- Provide input into the specification of completion and well intervention-related equipment and services in accordance with company procedures
- Work closely with the sub-surface team to ensure reservoir requirements are delivered
- Work between the field and the office, particularly during stimulation operations
- Provide coverage for the Senior Stimulation Engineer during his rotation leave
Requirements
Required Qualifications and Experience:
- Minimum education: Bachelor's Degree
- A minimum of 5–8 years in Stimulation engineering
- Significant experience with naturally fractured carbonates
- Experience with coiled tubing and interventions
- Demonstrated expertise in at least one industry-leading hydraulic fracturing simulation software (e.g. Stim Plan, Kinetix, GOHFER)
- Proficiency in petrophysical and mechanical property logs, Nodal Analysis, and advanced IP and EUR strategies
- Familiarity with reservoir engineering workflows and software (e.g. Petrel, Echelon)
- Good understanding of well–reservoir interaction in fractured carbonates
- Flexible to travel to the field when needed (Kurdistan/Iraq)
- Team player
- Open to sharing experience and open to new ideas
- Achievement focus and practical
- Committed to safety as a value
