Responsibilities

• Design gas lift systems and valve spacing, and recommend optimisation: valve and dummy setting and pulling.
• Write detailed job procedures and equipment technical specifications.
• Check that all equipment suits the expected well conditions (pressure, temperature, H2S/CO2, completion type).
• Carry out wellhead and Xmas tree calculations for maintenance work.
• Lead rig and platform surveys to confirm equipment layout and utility needs.
• Plan the work and review end-of-well reports for technical accuracy.
• Specify well-kill materials and well-control systems for slickline operations.
