Job Description
The Completions Engineer is responsible for the technical design, planning, and execution of Fervo’s geothermal well completions and workover activities, spanning initial stimulation through ongoing intervention and optimization.
Key Responsibilities
- Completions & Workover Engineering Execution
- Lead the technical design, planning, and execution of geothermal well completions, stimulations, and workover/intervention operations.
- Develop detailed, step-by-step operational procedures to safely achieve well objectives in compliance with regulatory and internal HSE requirements.
- Provide hands-on field engineering support during active operations and serve as the primary point of contact for completion and intervention-related issues.
- Support execution across the full well lifecycle, including initial completions, stimulation, recompletions, remedial work, and well interventions.
- Well Design Optimization & Subsurface Integration
- Partner with subsurface and reservoir engineering teams to optimize completion architecture, stimulation designs, and operational parameters.
- Utilize ResFrac or other industry-leading simulators to evaluate fracture behavior, completion efficiency, and well performance.
- Support cross-functional well planning and field development optimization efforts across drilling, production, and facilities teams.
- Translate subsurface objectives into executable field designs that balance performance, risk, and cost.
- Planning, Cost Estimation & Regulatory Support
- Develop completion and workover cost estimates ranging from early scoping estimates to detailed AFE-level and probabilistic estimates.
- Support well planning and operational scheduling activities in coordination with cross-functional teams.
- Compile technical and operational data required for permitting, regulatory filings, and internal approvals.
- Support preparation of technical documentation for internal and external reviews.
- Operational Learning, Risk Management & Field Engagement
- Apply risk assessment, hazard analysis, and Management of Change (MOC) processes to planned and active operations.
- Lead post-job reviews and after-action analyses to capture lessons learned and identify best practices.
- Drive continuous improvement by incorporating operational learnings into future designs, procedures, and standards.
- Travel frequently to field locations to oversee operations and maintain close collaboration with field personnel.
Requirements
- Hands-on field experience across drilling, completions, and/or workover operations.
- Experience with casing and tubing stress analysis, including thermal and mechanical loads during stimulation and injection/production.
- Experience mentoring or supporting early-career engineers.
- Experience working on first-of-a-kind, non-standard, or technically complex well designs.
- The engineer who thrives in this role will bring a field-first mindset, comfortable at the wellsite and energized by frequent field engagement; thrive in ambiguity, adapting standard oil & gas completion playbooks for first-of-a-kind geothermal applications; treat safety and reliability as non-negotiable; operate with a learning-driven mindset; collaborate seamlessly across subsurface, drilling, production, and facilities teams; take end-to-end ownership of outcomes; and communicate clearly with data and sound technical judgment.
