Full Description
InterActive Drilling Optimisation Engineers

As part of the expansion of our InterActive Drilling services and to meet future commitments in the UK and overseas, Senergy is currently looking for a number of InterActive Drilling Optimisation engineers. Successful candidates will be expected to rapidly develop core competence in drilling optimisation and geomechanics. It is considered unlikely that anyone with less than 5 years experience in a combination of at least two of the following roles will have sufficient competence to be considered. Mud logging; MWD / LWD; drilling dynamics; drilling optimisation; drill bit applications and well planning.

These will be staff positions, primarily based in Aberdeen and London, but applications from candidates based in the Middle East or the Far East will also be considered for potential positions in UAE and Malaysia. Travel to client offices both in the UK and overseas will be required and potential applicants should be aware that there will be a requirement to work shift patterns whilst working remotely in clients? offices or Real Time Operating Centres.

These positions represent an opportunity to diversify one?s career, with opportunities to move within and across the domain expertise areas that Senergy currently participates in. Senergy is an international energy business providing consultancy services in subsurface, well design and well operations management with established offices in 17 locations across four continents

Overview of Role

In general the role of the InterActive Drilling Optimisation Engineer is to provide a ?solutions based? approach to the drilling and geomechanics challenges our clients will encounter. This will be achieved by thorough data analysis and efficient communication with the client and the relevant Senergy Domain experts in Subsurface and Drilling disciplines. The role reports directly to the Drilling Optimisation Team Manager

Day-to-day duties will typically fall into one of the following main categories:

? Offset Data reviews
? Bit/BHA application analysis
? Proficient use of software tools for hydraulics, torque and drag, etc
? Use of Real Time data for performance optimization of both drilling and ?flat time? operations
? Pore Pressure/Fracture Pressure prediction
? Knowledge Management

Candidate qualifications

? A good degree in either engineering, geology or geophysics
? Whilst specific drilling optimization and/or geomechanics experience would be advantageous; applicants with at least 3 yrs experience in offshore operations including at least 2 of either mud logging, MWD/LWD, production technology, geology, petrophysics, mud engineering, reservoir engineering etc will be considered and training will be provided.
? Excellent written and verbal communication skills
? Excellent Microsoft Office Suite skills in particular Excel, Word and PowerPoint
? Project management and leadership skills

Job description

The initial 12 month period time would be split equally between the Drilling Optimisation and Geomechanics groups. The successful candidate will be trained and mentored to conduct geomechanical and Drilling Optimisation consultancy projects, to include:

Drilling Optimisation

? Offset data analysis
? Formation evaluation / risk identification
? ERD / Hole cleaning best practises
? Torque and Drag modelling
? Drilling optimisation techniques
? Drilling Dynamics
? Wellbore Hydraulics
? Drill bit and BHA design
? Drill string design and failure analysis

Geomechanics

? Rock Strength modelling
? Stress modelling
? Pore pressure prediction
? Wellbore stability
? Compaction and subsidence

These skills and competencies will be developed to allow the candidate to transition and/or switch into/between the two groups with key core competencies in both Drilling Optimisation and Geomechanics.
