Duties and responsibilities

• Production engineers are petroleum engineers who take over wells after drilling is completed and monitor these wells for oil and gas production. If wells are not producing as much as expected, production engineers figure out ways to increase the amount being extracted. As well as this, production engineers will have other key tasks such as:
• Evaluating inflow and outflow performance between reservoirs and the wellbore
• Directing and monitoring the completion and evaluation of wells, well testing or well surveys
• Monitoring production rates, and planning workover processes to improve production
• Designing well intervention activities
• Selecting equipment for surface facilities that separate and measure the produced fluids and prepare them for transportation
• Liaise with Field Operations and provide technical support
• Monitor and coordinate field production activities for optimum production

Qualifications

• Minimum of a bachelor’s degree in engineering, masters will be an advantage.
