JOB TITLE: - HYDRAULIC FRACTURING ENGINEER

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

The Hydraulic Fracturing Engineer is responsible for designing, optimizing, and executing hydraulic fracturing operations for HPHT unconventional shale gas wells. This includes fracture modeling, proppant transport analysis, fluid system optimization to ensure maximum reservoir contact and fracture conductivity. The role also involves real-time frac diagnostics, offset well interaction mitigation, and post-frac well performance evaluation. The role requires close collaboration with completion, reservoir, geomechanics, and production teams to ensure effective fracture design and execution in challenging HPHT conditions.

Design multi-stage hydraulic fracturing treatments tailored for HPHT unconventional shale gas reservoirs.

Design custom fracturing fluid systems (slickwater, hybrid, energized fluids, high-viscosity crosslinked gels, foam-based fracs) for HPHT environments.

Select proppant types, proppant loading, and fracture conductivity optimization strategies for ultra-low permeability formations.

Develop fracturing models and simulations using StimPlan, GOHFER, MFrac, or FracPro to ensure fracture geometry and optimal proppant placement.

Work with reservoir and geomechanics engineers to optimize well spacing, stage spacing, and perforation design to minimize negative frac interactions and with geologists and reservoir engineers to align fracture designs with lithology, reservoir quality, and depletion.

Oversee on-site execution of hydraulic fracturing treatments, ensuring compliance with planned frac schedules and real-time pressure adjustments.

Develop contingency plans for well control events, screen-outs, early pressure drops, fluid incompatibility,, frac hit mitigation strategies, casing deformation, and excessive pressure spikes during fracturing operations.

Collaborate with completion and production teams to ensure seamless transition from fracturing to well cleanup and early production flowback and valuate post-frac well cleanup efficiency and analyze initial production (IP) performance to optimize future frac designs

Lead HAZOP and HAZID reviews and frac risk assessments to ensure safe execution

Prepare required tendering documents for involved services in completion and hydraulic fracturing operations in coordination with the completion engineer

ESSENTIAL QUALIFICATIONS AND SKILLS:

BSc in Petroleum Engineering, Mechanical Engineering. MSc in Petroleum Engineering is preferred but not mandatory.

Minimum 10 years of experience in hydraulic fracturing engineering, with a focus on HPHT unconventional plays

Professional in frac modeling (i.e. StimPlan, FracPro, GOHFER)

Certifications: IWCF Well Intervention Pressure Control Level 4 (must)
