Completion Pumping Engineer (Angola)

Key responsibilities

Design and programme review 
• Prepare and review pumping sections of completion programmes: OHGP (alpha-beta and shunt-tube), CHGP, frac-pack/StimPAC, propped fracturing and matrix acidising. 
• Review contractor pump schedules, fluid formulations and simulations (e.g. FracCADE, PackCADE, INSITE) for fracture window, pack efficiency, friction and proppant transport. 
• Select carrier fluids (xanthan, VES, brine-based, crosslinked) and acid systems (HCl, organic, mud acid, clay acid) for each reservoir. 
• Run injectivity, step-rate and mini-frac analysis; calculate MASP and pressure limits against completion and wellhead ratings. 
• Support programme reviews and partner technical presentations. 

Qualifications and experience 

Essential 
• BSc or MSc in Petroleum, Chemical or Mechanical Engineering.
• Minimum 12 years in sand control and stimulation pumping, with at least 5 years as lead or technical engineer. 
• Hands-on design and execution of OHGP, CHGP and frac-pack completions, including deepwater wells. 
• Track record of fluid qualification and field QA/QC for gravel pack and acid systems. 
• Experience working with IOCs or NOCs as client

Desirable 
• Direct experience in Angola deepwater, ideally Block 15/06 or comparable West African fields. 
• Operator-side (company representative) experience, not only service-company. 
• Technical papers (SPE or internal), training-instructor or mentoring experience. 
• Exposure to gas well completions and AICD/inflow-control screens. 
• Involvement in tender technical evaluation and commercial proposals. 

Languages and certifications 
• Fluent English required; Portuguese strongly preferred; French an advantage. 
• Valid Tropical BOSIET (or equivalent offshore survival) and offshore medical. 
• Well Control certification (IWCF/IADC) preferred.
