Job Summary

bp wells has an opening for an Advisor - Tubular Design. This is a senior level leader role that requires deep specialist skills and the ability to influence the business.

JOB LOCATION

United Kingdom (Aberdeen/Sunbury) or the US (Houston).

Job Description:

Job Description The wells advisor role requires professional capability in three areas: differential technical skills, influence & leadership, and networking, both internal and external. Roles are determined by the business need for leadership in either core engineering disciplines (drilling, completions, interventions & integrity, subsea) or specialist disciplines supporting well delivery.

The Advisor - Tubular Design is bp's go-to person for all aspects of casing and tubing. The role requires expertise in design methods using both fit-for-purpose software and ad hoc analyses. The advisor assists and influences project teams in well delivery and risk assessment, assesses engineering capability across the organization, and provides tools and training to meet organizational priorities.

A portion of the role is strategic, identifying future technical and capability needs for the discipline and formulating plans to achieve the desired outcomes.

Key Accountabilities

• Originate or assist with complex casing and tubing analyses
• Deliver technical solutions that span discipline interfaces, e.g. fluids, cementing, equipment, operations, and subsurface
• Develop and maintain networks within bp, with peers at other operators, and with suppliers
• Characterize discipline health and support management when training and development is needed
• Coach and mentor less-experienced engineers
• Own and maintain the casing and tubing practice and related guides
• Understand requirements of other key wells practice requirements interdependencies of these documents
• Support the digital agenda through delivery of tools and algorithms
• Evaluate and influence technical content of commercial design software

Education

• An engineering degree or equivalent technical credential

Essential Qualifications and Experience

The successful candidate will have vast proven deep technical engineering experience with land, platform, and subsea wells. The experience will demonstrate capability across the breadth of tubular design:

• Non-standard casing and tubing analyses, including thermal and pressure effects
• Drilling & completions problems: e.g., torque, drag, stretch, stand-off, and buckling
• Well design operating limits for life-of-well integrity
• Failure investigations
• An in-depth knowledge of engineering mechanics, including analytical techniques and limitations
• Ability to convert engineering and operations challenges into equivalent mathematical model
• Finite element analysis (ABAQUS)
• Selection of materials and threaded connections for downhole requirements
• Experience in an integrated drilling or completions engineering team focused on well construction
• Development of company practices
• Participation in multi-disciplinary risk assessments
• Generation and delivery of tubular design training materials
• Demonstrated ability to present complex engineering solutions to generalist engineers and management, both verbally and written

Desired Criteria

The role requires differential technical skills in tubular design. Additional support for demonstrating expertise can come from:

• Publication of technical papers
• Participation in industry forums and recognition by peers
• Consideration given for graduate degree(s) in a related field
