Completion Engineer

A. What is a Completions Engineer?

 Completions engineers design and monitor the installation of cost-
effective well completions. Completions engineers are often
called petroleum engineers develop plans for production from
new wells and help devise methods to improve oil and gas well
production.
Minimum Requirements:

 Example of a company job offer:

Completion Engineer Task:
Designs and supervises the initial well
completion in line with company, safety and
industry standards.
Collaborates with the rest of the well
delivery team departments, local authorities
and industry regulators.
Oversees well intervention, appraisal and
testing activities.
Examines and makes recommendations to
solve well design problems, and to maximize
daily output in a safe manner.
Models expected completion performance,
and monitors / evaluates the actual result.
Examines well test results and advises on
well stimulation techniques.
Organizes equipment, deliveries, staff, and
the actual work of the completion itself.
Uses a range of specialist technical software,
analytical tools, and Microsoft Office suite.
Provides a range of drilling completions
support and technical advice and guidance
within the business.

supervision / management.
Pipeline Engineer:

A. What is a Pipeline Engineer?

 Pipeline engineers is a famous engineering avenue which includes
engineer design and review of pipelines and associated facilities. They
plan and implement both installation and maintenance of pipelines
and also ensure that upgrades to platforms and terminals are correctly
done. Technically, pipeline engineers serve as a link between pipeline
workers and operational areas to make sure that pipeline projects are
performed correctly. As providers of specialized engineering services,
pipeline engineers work to ensure on-time oil and gas transportation
and track the flow of products through pipelines.
