Sr Staff Offshore Completion & Intervention Engineer
About the position
Murphy Oil Corporation is seeking a Senior Staff Offshore Completion & Intervention Engineer to play a crucial role within the Drilling, Completion, and Intervention Team. This position is integral to leading well planning activities and providing daily engineering support for deepwater completion and intervention operations. The successful candidate will independently design fit-for-purpose completion solutions aimed at achieving well objectives in a safe and cost-effective manner. This role requires a strong focus on detailed procedure writing, performing risk assessments, conducting peer reviews, collaborating with procurement teams, and applying best practices and lessons learned from previous operations. Additionally, the engineer will be responsible for performing after-action reviews, assisting in problem-solving and troubleshooting during completion and intervention operations, and ensuring compliance with regulatory frameworks on permitting. The Senior Staff Offshore Completion and Intervention Engineer will primarily work from the Houston Corporate office, with the flexibility to work remotely two days a week. This position demands a champion for environmental, safety, and regulatory objectives across all operations, ensuring that all activities align with the company's commitment to health, safety, and environmental standards. The engineer will prepare time and cost estimates, work with third-party firms on independent completion design stress analysis, and design/install various completion types, including lower sand-faced completions and upper completions with surveillance equipment and subsurface control. In addition to designing and executing interventions with rigs or intervention vessels, the engineer will generate detailed procedures for completion or intervention operations, optimize workover procedures, and supervise operations while supporting onsite vessel teams. The role also involves conducting multi-discipline peer reviews, HAZOPS, and risk assessments, as well as evaluating real-time data as required. The engineer will collaborate with the Procurement Team to develop bid packages and assess vendor options, ensuring that all operations benefit from the application of best practices and lessons learned. Regular offshore or shop visits may be required to supervise activities as necessary.
