- Dhahran, Ash Sharqiyah
- Permanent
- Full-time
- Review current Drilling Program prior to commencement of operation and ensure all clarifications, errors and corrections have been addressed.
- Must have good working knowledge of all SOP’s both operating and contingency.
- Supervise execution of all SOP’s in a safe and efficient manner
- Promote safe work practice by; leading TBT, safety leadership, safety coaching and JSA’s.
- Recommends update to all SOP’s relative to learning’s using the MOC system.
- Review BHA sheets prior to assembly and monitor assembly of same.
- Ensure, drill fluid, kill fluid, Hi-Vis products and friction reducer are prepared correctly and properties maintained as per Aramco Foreman and WSTL.
- Monitor on site fresh water and kill fluid volumes are maintained as per program .
- During N2 operations, closely monitor N2 pump rates to ensure it is pumped in a safe manner, rates are maintained as per program me and onsite inventory is reported to the Aramco Forman and WSTL.
- Maintain UB condition by adjusting liquid pump rate, N2 rate (if in use) and/or choke settings as per Aramco Foreman, WSTL and DD.
- Stay in close communication with the BH office Technical advisor.
- Use WellFlo multi-phase flow software to calculate and ensure liquid velocities, gas velocities and mix liquid / gas velocities are sufficient for hole cleaning. Advise any questionable values to; Aramco Foreman, WSTL, DD, UB Supervisor and Driller.
- Use WellFlo to calculate lag times for changes in; depth, circulating rates and production rates, changes in lag times to be reported to the Aramco Forman, WSTL, UB Supervisor, Choke Operator and Driller
- Ensure Geological samples are captured as per procedure and frequency as per standing Aramco Forman’s instructions and/or as per Bio-steering and Geologist requirements.
- Ensure regular compositional analysis of fluid returns is conducted using centrifuge grind outs and results are documented accordingly.
- On H2S wells above 100 ppm monitor fluid returns to the ground pit for dissolved sulphides, treat out dissolved sulphides with caustic soda and liquid H2S scavenger as per; Mud-man, Aramco Foreman and WSTL.
- Ensure Vis pill sweep frequency and wiper trip length / sequence / schedule is adjusted as per hole conditions in conjunction with instructions of the Aramco Foreman and WSTL and / or under advice of DD and Driller.
- Ensure flared gas is minimized and export gas is maximized.
- Have a bachelor’ degree in an Engineering discipline from an accredited college or university
