This role will be primarily responsible for the following:

*Work directly with Operations, Workover Engineering, Reservoir Engineering, Facilities, Land, Geoscience, and Planning to deliver SAFE, reliable, and cost-efficient reactive well repair and proactive optimization projects

*Surveillance of production and injection rates to identify performance improvement opportunities

*Evaluation of well repair options, enhancement opportunities, associated costs, likelihood of success, and expected production to determine economic value required to justify Authority for Expenditures

*Work with Operations & Facilities Teams to identify, evaluate, and recommend cost reduction, reliability and/or debottlenecking projects (rate adding projects)

*Identify high failure frequency wells (fail more than twice in the past 12 months) and proactively do whatever work is required to extend runtime

*Work with Reservoir Engineering and Geoscience Teams to identify rate adding opportunities (e.g. add perfs, water shut-offs, plugbacks, frac potential, etc.)

*Design, install, troubleshoot, and optimize operation of Rod Lift, ESP, Gas Lift, and/or Plunger Lift artificial lift systems for new and existing wells

*Perform Root Cause Failure Analysis on all artificial lift types and recommend solutions to increase runtime between failures in an effort to decrease lease operating expense and increase production

*Work with Land and Operations Teams to ensure acreage is maintained within LOA and all necessary work is done in a timely manner to prevent any leasehold from being compromised

*Provide economic justification for any automation necessary to perform production and injection surveillance at the well, lease, field, and asset level

*Ensure wellbore integrity and perform risk management assessments on any of the client's operated offset well due to frac hits or any other SimOps situation, either operated or non-operated by the client

*Develop and maintain existing and new surveillance data sets and tools necessary to perform optimization workflows for all production and injection well types
