In the Petroleum Engineering Department, three multidisciplinary centre teams (Dan, Halfdan and Tyra) manage the petroleum engineering aspects of the 15 producing offshore oil and gas fields in the DUC. The department further has a Production Technology team dealing primarily with completion and stimulation, but also being a production support group. The Senior Production Technologist will support all centre teams as needed, and will interface with the Well and Production Operations departments located at DUC’s operations base in Esbjerg.
Main Areas of Responsibility
The Senior Production Technologist is part of a specialist Production Technology team with supports the organisation in field development planning, well planning and implementation, well intervention and workover planning, well integrity assurance, reservoir and well surveillance and technology development, aiming at identifying technically sound and economically attractive development and production optimisation activities. Main areas of responsibility are
- Field development planning and well implementation
- Well and completion concept selection and design
- Well modelling and integrated production system modelling
- Workover programmes
- Well integrity assurance
- Development of new and improved techniques for well completions and re-completions
Special challenges are production from tight reservoirs in maturing fields requiring state-of-the-art well technologies for advanced completions, stimulation treatments, surveillance & intervention in order to optimise production from long horizontal, multilateral and HPHT wells.
Reporting Level
Senior Production Technologist reports to the Head of Well Technology and in his absence to the Head of Production Technology.
Your Qualifications
This position requires strong technical and analytical skills, combined with an ability to communicate effectively with a broad spectrum of petroleum engineers, production and drilling operations teams. The candidate is expected to be a production technology professional with at least 10 years of industry experience, preferably with an Operator, including extensive knowledge of, and a proven record of completions design, using state-of-the-art well modelling software packages and applying new well technologies.

About the company:
Maersk Oil Maersk Olie og Gas AS (Maersk Oil) is owned by A.P. Møller – Maersk A/S, and is part of the A.P. Moller – Maersk Group. Maersk Oil was established in 1962, when Mr A.P. Møller was awarded the Concession for oil and gas exploration and production in Denmark. In 2003, the concession period was extended from 2012 until 2042 and terms and conditions were adjusted as of 1 January 2004. Today, Maersk Oil is a midsize international oil and gas company operating an oil production of about 600,000 barrels per day and a gas production of up to some 1,000 million cubic feet per day. The company has a net equity production exceeding 500,000 barrels of oil equivalents per day from fields in the Danish and British part of the North Sea, offshore Qatar, in Algeria and in Kazakhstan. Activities are ongoing in, among others, the Danish, British and Norwegian sectors of the North Sea, Qatar, Algeria, Angola, Kazakhstan, Oman, Brazil and the US Gulf of Mexico. Maersk Oil has been amongst the leaders in developing solutions tailored to meet the North Sea challenges. The main part of Maersk Oil’s operated production is from low permeability, high porosity chalk and limestone reservoirs, which prior to the 1980’s were deemed unattractive due to low production rates. Innovative application of advanced seismic processing techniques as part of a comprehensive state-of-the-art reservoir characterization, combined with ultra long horizontal drilling (up to 12 kilometres) as well as Maersk Oil’s completion and stimulation technology of the horizontal wells, have been the key to the technical success in developing these chalk fields. In addition, attention to health and safety, a strong respect for the environment and a cost conscious operation have made Maersk Oil grow to become one of the world's top 25 independent oil and gas producing companies. It is Maersk Oil's strategic intent to continue this growth. The company believes that this can be achieved by fully utilizing the potential of existing production areas and establishing and growing material business in new areas.
