Job Detail

ESP & Artificial Lift

• Design, select, and optimize ESP systems (pump, motor, cable, VSD/VFD, accessories).
• Analyze ESP performance (current, intake/discharge pressure, vibration, trends, failures).
• Lead ESP troubleshooting, failure analysis, and corrective actions.
• Follow up ESP installation, start-up, retrieval, and re-deployment activities.
• Work closely with ESP vendors (design reviews, performance validation, root cause analysis).
• Support artificial lift selection and optimization (ESP vs alternatives when required).

Engineering

• Monitor and optimize well production performance (rates, drawdown, BHP, WHP).
• Conduct well performance analysis (IPR, VLP, nodal analysis).
• Identify production losses and implement optimization opportunities.
• Well testing interpretation and production forecasting.
• Analyze high GOR, water cut, sand, scale, and operational constraints impacting ESP wells.
• Support reservoir surveillance (pressure trends, production behavior, depletion tracking).
• Identify reservoir-related constraints impacting ESP performance (PI decline, skin, water/gas breakthrough).
• Contribute to rate optimization within reservoir limits to avoid drawdown-related issues.
• Build and maintain well performance models using PROSPER (IPR/VLP, nodal analysis, sensitivity studies).
• Integrate ESP performance curves into PROSPER models to validate operating points and optimize drawdown.
• Use GAP for production network modeling, field rate optimization, and constraint management.
• Calibrate models using actual field data (well test, PVT, pressure, ESP operating data).
• Identify mismatches between modeled and actual performance and recommend corrective actions.
• Use modeling results to support ESP design, rate selection, and operational decision-making.

Field Operations & Integrity

• Work closely with Erbil-based RPT/subsurface and operations teams to ensure models reflect current field understanding.
• Coordinate with Dallas-based technical staff across time zones to maintain alignment on assumptions, workflows, and deliverables.
• Support cross-functional integration with production, facilities, and RPT teams to improve decision support.
• Prepare and deliver technical presentations to subsurface and cross-functional team members, clearly communicating modeling assumptions, results, uncertainties, and recommendations.

Capability Development & Mentoring

• Interface with operations for safe and efficient ESP operations.
• Support well integrity and completion interface related to ESP deployment.
• Review operating envelopes, operating limits, and production constraints.
• Participate in risk assessments, MOC, and operational readiness reviews.
• Continuous coaching of ESP Technicians

Well Completion & Interface

• Review completion design from an ESP and production perspective (tubing size, packer depth, intake position).
• Best DH completion items selection
• Ensure completion compatibility with ESP requirements and operating envelope.
• Support packer placement, tubing selection, and wellbore configuration to enhance ESP run life.
• Participate in completion readiness and post-completion performance review.

Continuous Improvement

• Identify opportunities to improve ESP run life and system reliability.
• Support implementation of new technologies, designs, and operating practices.
• Contribute to field development and long-term artificial lift strategy.
