Job Purpose
The Senior Drilling Engineer is responsible for planning, designing, and executing drilling and completion operations for clean energy-related well programs. The role focuses on delivering wells safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively while driving continuous improvement in drilling performance, engineering standards, and operational capability.
Key Responsibilities
• Plan and engineer drilling and completion programs, including well design, casing design, mud programs, well trajectories, and execution strategies.
• Support end-to-end well delivery activities from planning and engineering through drilling, completion, and project closeout.
• Ensure compliance with HSE standards, regulatory requirements, company policies, and well integrity guidelines throughout all phases of operations.
• Monitor drilling performance, Non-Productive Time (NPT), operational costs, and drilling risks, and implement corrective actions to improve efficiency and performance.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives through post-well reviews, lessons learned, performance benchmarking, and standardization of engineering practices.
• Coordinate with drilling contractors, service providers, consultants, and internal stakeholders to ensure operational readiness and successful execution of well programs.
• Provide technical guidance, mentoring, and on-the-job support to junior engineers and field personnel.
• Support contractor performance evaluations, technical bid reviews, tender assessments, and cost optimization initiatives.
• Prepare technical reports, drilling performance summaries, engineering analyses, and management dashboards.
• Participate in risk assessments, contingency planning, and operational reviews to ensure safe and reliable execution of drilling activities.
• Support the implementation of new technologies, digital solutions, and best practices to enhance drilling performance and well delivery outcomes.
