Wellsite drilling engineer
Do you enjoy being part of a successful team? Do you enjoy working with cutting-edge energy equipment?
Join our growing team
We are the leader in well construction and production. Our innovative physical and digital solutions improve efficiency, production and maximize reservoir value. Our pressure pumping team has expertise in cementing, coiled tubing and stimulation.
Partner with the best
As a wellsite drilling engineer, you will be the focal point for all onsite drilling engineering, well flow, daily reports, operations and liaison for service providers on site. The WSDE works under direction from the onsite foreman and well site team leader (WSTL) and the office technical advisor.
As a wellsite drilling engineer you will be responsible for:
Review current drilling program prior to commencement of operation and ensure all clarifications, errors and corrections have been addressed.
Must have good working knowledge of all SOPs both operating and contingency.
Supervise execution of all SOPs in a safe and efficient manner.
Promote safe work practice by leading TBT, safety leadership, safety coaching and JSAs.
Recommend updates to all SOPs relative to learnings using the MOC system.
Review BHA sheets prior to assembly and monitor assembly of same.
Ensure drill fluid, kill fluid, hi-vis products and friction reducer are prepared correctly and properties maintained as per foreman and WSTL.
Monitor onsite fresh water and kill fluid volumes are maintained as per program.
During N2 operations, closely monitor N2 pump rates to ensure it is pumped in a safe manner, rates are maintained as per program and onsite inventory is reported to the foreman and WSTL.
Maintain UB condition by adjusting liquid pump rate, N2 rate (if in use) and/or choke settings as per foreman, WSTL and DD.
Stay in close communication with the office technical advisor.
Use WellFlo multi-phase flow software to calculate and ensure liquid velocities, gas velocities and mixed liquid/gas velocities are sufficient for hole cleaning. Advise any questionable values to foreman, WSTL, DD, UB supervisor and driller.
Use WellFlo to calculate lag times for changes in depth, circulating rates and production rates; changes in lag times to be reported to the foreman, WSTL, UB supervisor, choke operator and driller.
Ensure geological samples are captured as per procedure and frequency according to standing foremanu2019s instructions and/or as per bio-steering and geologist requirements.
Ensure regular compositional analysis of fluid returns is conducted using centrifuge grind outs and results are documented accordingly.
On H2S wells above 100 ppm, monitor fluid returns to the ground pit for dissolved sulphides; treat out dissolved sulphides with caustic soda and liquid H2S scavenger as per mud-man, foreman and WSTL.
Ensure vis pill sweep frequency and wiper trip length, sequence and schedule is adjusted as per hole conditions in conjunction with instructions of the foreman and WSTL and/or under advice of DD and driller.
Ensure flared gas is minimized and export gas is maximized.
