Execute daily production surveillance for assigned offshore assets (rate/pressure review, downtime and constraint tracking) and communicate exceptions to Regional Production Engineering and Asset Development (AD).
Monitor well, system, and facility performance for subsea wells, platforms, and offshore production systems by trending key metrics (rates, pressures, temperatures, injection volumes, and utilization) and identifying anomalies and improvement opportunities.
Provide engineering data (Energy Components (EC)) support to enable reliable surveillance, including:
o Verifying data entry accuracy and completeness (well tests, allocations, downtime codes).
o Maintaining production data quality by resolving gaps, unit issues, and inconsistent tags in source systems.
o Performing basic analysis to quantify impacts (e.g., estimated deferment, injection shortfall) and highlight recurring issues.
Maintain and improve IVM dashboards and surveillance tools (add new wells, update mappings, validate inputs, and publish routine views for stakeholders).
Support waterflood surveillance and optimization by monitoring injection/production response, identifying pattern imbalances, and preparing data packages for review with senior engineers.
Collaborate with AD, Subsurface, and offshore operations teams to apply standard production engineering workflows and document decisions, assumptions, and follow-ups.
Escalate technical issues and performance concerns to senior engineers with a clear problem statement, supporting data/trends, and recommended next steps.
Build core production engineering capability through coaching, structured training, and on-the-job application (surveillance workflows, nodal analysis basics, and well performance diagnostics).
Perform all work in compliance with safety, operational integrity, and environmental requirements, and stop work when conditions are unsafe.
A bout you
We know our greatest resource is the ingenuity, creativity and innovation of our people. Applications from motivated, talented individuals with a keen interest in the energy industry are encouraged.
To be considered for this role, applicants should have:
Required Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Petroleum Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related engineering discipline.
5-10 years of experience in production engineering, production operations, or surveillance/optimization support (offshore experience preferred).
Working knowledge of production engineering fundamentals (flow assurance awareness, well/facility constraints, allocations, and basic well performance concepts).
Experience using production data sources and surveillance tools (e.g., IVM or similar dashboards, historian trends, well test/allocations systems) to create and maintain recurring daily/weekly performance views for stakeholders.
Demonstrated analytical skills to identify trends, diagnose likely drivers, and recommend next checks for performance deviations (e.g., unstable rates, pressure declines, injector underperformance, or sensor/tag issues). Automation and machine learning driven analysis experience preferred.
Proficiency with standard analysis tools (advanced spreadsheets, charting, basic database queries, machine learning; exposure to Python/R or BI tools is a plus).

A bout the position
The Production Engineer - Offshore helps keep offshore wells and facilities running safely and efficiently by monitoring daily production performance, validating production data, and flagging deviations early. In this role, you will work within ENGINE and partner with offshore operations, Regional Production Engineering, Asset Development (AD), and Subsurface teams to produce routine surveillance outputs (dashboards, well/facility performance snapshots, and exception lists) and to support short-cycle optimization and troubleshooting. With 5-10 years of experience, the role is expected to execute standard surveillance and data quality workflows with limited guidance, while escalating complex issues to senior production engineers.
Chevron ENGINE supports global operations, and work hours are aligned to business needs. Standard working hours are 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM or 1:30 PM to 10:30 PM, Monday to Friday. These may evolve based on operational or business requirements.
