Activities
• Adopt and demonstrate an exemplary behavior with regard to HSE rules with associated implementation and control within his area of responsibility.
• Participate of the evaluation and clarifications of the Call For Tender exercise and process for the Directional drilling bundle (with MWD/LWD, Downhole tools, Drilling bits) and rank Contractors.
• Control and validate well construction engineering/design performed at pre-project stage.
• Prepare drilling bundle related DRILLEX (CAPEX, OPEX).
• Perform drilling engineering studies and drilling software simulations to ensure wells construction and wells integrity, taking into account complex anti-collision requirements and follow up.
• Assist the Head of drilling engineering for the preparation of the General Drilling Program.
• Participate in the preparation of well’s SOR in collaboration with Completion engineering team and GSR team, with special focus on well technical feasibility.
• Perform collaborative work with GSR team to minimize well trajectories complexity while maximizing reservoir requirements ensuring wells productivity.
• Prepare detailed well drilling programs and issue reports and studies on specific well issues (anticolllision simulations, casing running, torque and drag simulations, wells hydraulics, etc).
• Promote new drilling techniques and equipments.
• Involved in drilling operations (day to day with operational people) and propose improvements.

• Consolidate all 430 wells trajectories on 31 drilling locations taking into account GSR requirements and downhole difficulties (wells anti-collision, gas cap and major faults crossing and avoidance, completion design constraints).
• Deliver engineering studies, wells trajectories and wells architectures allowing delivering wells in time, in budget with expected productivity.
• Improve drilling performances and wells cost through close follow up of operations and integration of operational feedback.
