About this role
Role: Completion Applications Engineer based in Lagos. The successful candidate will act as the technical focal point for upper and lower completion applications, develop fit-for-purpose completion solutions, support field execution, and drive technical excellence across the project lifecycle. The role requires extensive experience in completion design, packers, safety valves, tubing stress analysis, sand control and OHGP applications, and involves collaborating with customers, field operations, product teams and global engineering groups.
What you would do
- Lead the design and application engineering of upper and lower completion systems for offshore and onshore projects.
- Develop optimised completion architectures based on reservoir, wellbore and operational requirements.
- Select and specify completion equipment including production packers, retrievable and permanent packers, SCSSVs, gas lift systems, flow control devices, sliding sleeves, landing nipples, seal assemblies, and intelligent completion components.
- Own OHGP and sand control applications, including screen selection, gravel pack design and execution support.
- Perform detailed engineering analysis including tubing stress, burst, collapse, tension, compression, buckling, thermal effects, packer load calculations and seal movement evaluations.
- Utilise engineering software such as WellCat and other completion design tools to validate designs and operating envelopes; review customer requirements and propose technically compliant, commercially optimised solutions.
What they are asking for
- Bachelor's degree in petroleum engineering, mechanical engineering or a related engineering discipline.
- Minimum of 12 years' completion engineering experience with exposure to both upper and lower completions.
- Proven experience with production packers, SCSSV systems, intelligent completions, gas lift systems, sand control technologies and OHGP applications.
- Experience with deepwater and offshore completion systems and tubing stress analysis software.
- Strong customer engagement and communication skills; ability to lead technical discussions and influence customer decisions.
- Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced project environment with a results-driven, execution-oriented mindset.
