Coordinate drilling and initial completion engineering, operations and contracts for an estimated value of 1 billion USD DRILLEX (200 m$/year).
Lead multidisciplinary operational team (drilling engineering, drilling performance and drilling supervision) located both on site and in company offices.
Ensure operational safety leadership with regards to major incidents prevention and preparation (Blow out, well collision).
Ensure coordination of all Contractor’s on all rig sites and company base (around 500 PAX).

Operations

Provide remote operational management and supervision, making autonomously most of the decision when operations are deviating from plan.

Engineering

Accountable for the detailed engineering of extremely challenging extended reach wells in very unconsolidated formations targeting shallow reservoir with capacity to do so having critical impact on wells delivery.
Accountable for Drilling engineering recommendations and preparation having a direct impact to avoid or to mitigate potential major incidents as wells are drilled through shallow gas cap and through shallow downhole faults.
Validate drilling related DRILLEX.
Make sure of Directional drilling, MWD/LWD, Downhole tools, Drilling bits and OCTG contracts readiness and implementation prior operation start up, and during operations. When needed, liaise with the Contracts and Cost Control departments to ensure all contracts are up to date.
Actively participate to drilling sequence recommendation and decision based on wells design, wells trajectory and drilling pads configurations.

Performance & Digitalization

Deeply involved in performance culture on all 3 rig sites, supported by performance dashboards to give a global view of the performances of each activity type and to give a regular update on realized performances to the rig crew.
Promote the use of the RTOSC (Real Time Operating Center) that will ensure permanent (24/7) operation tracking and seamless exchanges of performance information between RTOC engineers and performance pusher engineers on each rig.
Closely follow the consolidation of Drilling & Wells Cost Performance Indicators (CPI’s) & Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) used to benchmark and communicate the drilling & wells operations performance of Total E&P Uganda.
Accountable for implementing the organizational model of the Improvement Wheel phased with the well delivery cycle (Design, Execution, Measure and Postmortem) to reach continual improvement.
Ensure proper preparation and implementation of paperless and digitalization drilling process.
