Choose the right perspective
Match the asset type to yours, since production engineering for shale wells on artificial lift differs from deepwater or conventional offshore fields. Also match the level, because a field production engineer can speak to well-by-well work while a manager can speak to team structure and priorities across an asset.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you decide which wells get optimization or workover attention first?
- 02How do you choose and change artificial lift methods as a well declines?
- 03Which surveillance data and tools have most improved your production results?
