About bp

bp Technical Solutions India (TSI) center in Pune, strives to build on bp's existing engineering and technical strengths to deliver high quality services to its hydrocarbons and new energy businesses worldwide. TSI brings together diverse engineering capabilities to provide technical services across a range of areas including engineering, maintenance, optimization, data processes, projects and subsurface, to deliver safe, affordable and lower emission energy, while continuously innovating how we work.

Wells GCD brings together design thinking, agile practices, and diverse engineering capabilities to provide technical solutions across a range of areas including engineering, operations, projects and subsurface, to deliver safe, affordable and lower emission energy, while continuously innovating how we work.

At bp, we're reimagining energy for people and our planet. We're leading the way in reducing carbon emissions and developing more balanced methods for solving the energy challenge. We're a team with multi-layered strengths of engineers, scientists, traders and business professionals determined to find answers to problems.

Let me tell you about the role

Would you like to join bp and help us embed a strong integrated operating culture to support the delivery of safe, reliable and efficient operations?

We are now looking for the Completion Engineer to join our Wells Global Concept Development team (GCD)!

From one of our hub locations in either the US or Sunbury, you will be supporting BP's world-wide regional teams in successfully developing capitally efficient and inherently safe well concepts and full field development strategies across bp's global portfolio. In this position, you will manage high degrees of uncertainty and support senior stakeholders in making business decisions. In the concept development team, you will evaluate various well construction and field development options to unlock future opportunities across the global portfolio and new access opportunities.

What will you deliver:

• Display good safety leadership with behaviours reflecting BP's values. Ensure compliance with BP Operating Management System, BP Practices, basis of designs and other relevant BP and regulatory requirements for well construction.
• Timely delivery of assigned engineering and design activities including contingencies, in conformance with BP's Engineering Practices, guidance documents, and BP's Operating Management System. Applying for acceptable deviations when it makes sense.
• Ensure conformance to Equipment Integrity Assurance Guidelines, Procurement and Supply Chain Management processes for the timely delivery of Equipment, including long lead items.
• Relentlessly seek and utilize industry best practice in engineering to ensure continuous improvement in well design, execution and cost efficiencies.
• Challenges the status quo thinking of existing designs and operating assets.
• Apply wells standards, procedures and practices as well as appropriate engineering workflows and tools to daily tasks and projects.
• Considers well control requirements at all stages of well execution and ensures appropriate documentation of well barriers are considered in development concepts.
• Reviews completions benchmark performance against agreed KPIs; identifies, implements and shares lessons learned & best practices.
• Coordinate and lead multi-functional workshops such as Drill the Well on Paper sessions.
• Collaborate with internal domain experts in completion and sand control.
• Identify cost efficiency improvements and implement these improvements where possible.
• Work with multi-disciplinary teams to create and test feasibility of well or development design as well as optimization concepts.
• Integration with facilities and subsurface for ideation and options generation to optimize concepts.
• Time and cost estimating for single and multi-well scenarios.
• Candidate must demonstrate creative thinking outlook.

What you will need to be successful

Must have educational qualifications:

University degree in Science / Engineering or equivalent technical degree.

Minimum years of relevant experience:

Minimum of 8 years of domestic and/or international experience as a drilling engineer.

Must have experience/skills:

• Experience working in multi-discipline teams that use agile methods to deliver.
• Has a working knowledge of petrophysical input and influence to the well completion phase of well construction. Knowledge of completion types, stimulation types, and the petrophysical inputs and analyses in evaluating the completions such as geomechanical models, radioactive tracers and baseline evaluation.
• Able to define and develop flow assurance systems and processes to prevent flow problems such as wax, scale and asphaltene depositions.
• Experience optimizing the performance of the integrated tubing lift / reservoir models. Apply proper software programs to conduct inflow performance analysis in all types of wells.
• Ability to estimate new well value (incremental rate, incremental resources, net present value (NPV)) utilizing appropriate methods with multi-functional inputs. Includes communication and quantification of risk and uncertainty to allow for mitigation plans and decision making. Outlining surveillance requirements and advocating.
• Identifying candidates for the application of sand control. Completion design, installation and operation of sand management systems to optimize production from sand-prone reservoirs.
• Experience in collecting data from analogue fields to conduct field studies and ascertain the likelihood of solids production and at what rate. Troubleshoot equipment and systems and apply methods and required equipment to effectively dispose of sub-surface solids, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
• Evaluate computer modelling data predicting scale occurrence and evaluate prevention and removal methods for each of the different types of scales.
• The ability to identify and communicate subsurface uncertainties, assumptions, and alternative scenarios, understand risks associated with them, and propose appropriate risk management strategies and plans to protect and/or create business value.
• Utilize tubing distortion calculations and nodal analysis software to design complex completions, and to diagnose and solve well productivity problems by understanding what conditions should be expected throughout the life of a well.
• Able to describe the reasons, application, and frequency for subsea well intervention, outline workover activities for common tree types, describe the elements of a workover system, and describe the application of rigless well intervention methods. Classify various forms of well intervention such as recompletion, water shutoff, etc.
• Classifying completion efficiency and performance in a wide variety of wells and completion types applying productivity index and pressure build-up analysis derived parameters. Select well work to prevent and/or remediate wellbore damage, interpret complicated PTA, recognize when to seek expert opinion, and design well tests for.
