Will be responsible for advising/consulting on production engineering worldwide as requested by clients. Of particular focus is assisting with evaluation of performance of existing wells, flowing or on artificial lift, and associated surface facilities to optimize well rates and recovery of reserves. Will address a wide variety of producing environments from low rate gas wells to high rate offshore wells and a variety of producing horizons including conventional reservoirs, tight gas and shales.
Responsibilities:
Provide production engineering technical consulting on the existing asset portfolio which includes conventional oil, tight gas, unconventional oil and gas (shales, CBM), and offshore developments. Will also participate in integrated evaluation and planning of field developments to ensure life of well performance is included in the development planning process.
Assist internal clients with analysis of well performance to optimize production form existing horizons or to estimate production performance from new zones utilizing NODAL analysis, pressure transient analysis, and other diagnostic techniques.
Provide technical analysis and recommendations on artificial lift including rod pumps, ESP’s, gas lift, plunger lift, hydraulic and progressive cavity pumps.
Advise on chemical treating of wells and surface facilities, and some water management and solids management operations.
Provide analysis and technical assistance to clients on data acquisition for monitoring and diagnosis of well performance.
Participate in various SPE, IADC, and other industry professional societies to seek state of the art knowledge related to production engineering. Be aware of and monitor various Joint Industry Projects and project proposals to determine their applicability and interest to Marathon. Potentially represent Marathon on JIP projects.
Investigate new technologies and determine applicability to existing resource base. Make recommendations of those that warrant testing and development within the company.
Recently, we have been made aware of multiple scams whereby unauthorized individuals are using Marathon's name and logo to solicit potential job-seekers for employment. In some cases, job-seekers are being contacted directly, both by phone and e-mail. In other instances, these unauthorized individuals are placing advertisements for fake positions with both legitimate websites and fabricated ones. These individuals are typically promising high-paying jobs with the requirement that the job-seeker send money to pay for things such as visa applications or processing fees.
Please be advised that Marathon will never ask potential job-seekers for any sort of advance payment as part of the recruiting or hiring process.
