- Support the implementation of new technologies.
- Responsible for interfacing with contractors regarding scheduling, equipment, performance, HSE plans, etc.
Desired Skills:
Requirements :
Prefer candidate with experience supervising hydraulic fracture treatments, coiled tubing, wireline, well abandonment and heavy oil completion and well intervention operations. Experience in pad operations and simultaneous operations (SIMOPs) is a plus. Due to the competitive nature of onshore tight gas and heavy oil plays, wells have to be drilled and completed as quickly and efficiently as possible while maintaining high performance in HSE. The success of the overall onshore tight gas and heavy oil ventures continues to rely predominantly on the ability of the Wells group to deliver low cost wells.
Candidate should have a strong knowledge and commitment to HSE through training, integrating HSE into work plans/activities, managing contractor performance through established processes, and supporting sustainable development activities. Employee will be assigned a mentor depending on skill level/expertise with expectation that employee also mentors less experienced personnel. There may be requirements for some travel offshore or overseas. The successful candidate is expected to actively interact with the Wells superintendents, engineers, HSE staff and contractors. Beyond the immediate Wells team, must also form relationships and alliances with the Venture team, regulatory staff, supply chain staff and HR.
Experience and qualifications:
- Must have legal requirement to work in Canada on a full time basis for anyone other than their current employer.
- Minimum 5 years relevant industry experience including drilling operations.
- Willingness to work 28 day rotation of 17 days on duty and 11 days off.
- High school education/math skills required. College education desired.
- Will be required to take Shell's CWI Round 1 and Round 2 training or equivalent.
- Sound understanding of the process to deliver well operations including implementation of new technologies.
- Proven experience in the field for planning and executing daily operations.
- Sound understanding of HSE management techniques and the commitment to deliver HSE performance.
- Experience dealing with competing priorities: decisions are made without undue delay, demonstrated flexibility regarding prioritization and re-deployment of resources/staff.
