Production Engineering

at  Pieridae Energy

Company Profile:
Pieridae is a Canadian energy company headquartered in Calgary, Alberta. Through several corporate
and asset acquisitions the Company has grown into a significant upstream and midstream producer
with assets concentrated in the Canadian Foothills, producing conventional natural gas, NGLs,
condensate and sulphur.
Management is excited about Pieridae’s opportunities and prospects within our existing asset base in
the Canadian Foothills; during the past year Pieridae has strategically refocused on sustaining and
growing its upstream exploration and production (“E&P”) and midstream business. Our objective is to
continue Pieridae’s pivot toward growing a sustainable and profitable conventional Foothills oil and
natural gas business while continuing to explore opportunities to diversify market access for the
products we produce.
Position Summary:
The successful candidate will be a fully integrated member of the production engineering team. The
primary responsibility will be gathering and evaluating downhole data (wellbore diagrams, lab
analysis, chemical injection, workover reports, etc.) related to solids formation on well tubulars
across all Pieridae assets. The ultimate objective will be utilizing this data to recommend the most
cost effective well workover interval and best suited technology to deploy. In addition, this position
will entail other typical production engineering tasks, such as pipeline modeling, artificial lift
evaluation, and well surveillance. The selected candidate will be supported by the experienced
production engineering and completions teams and will report directly to the production
engineering manager.

EXPERIENCE, SKILL ATTITUDE:

• Self-Starter: Dig into the data and use it to develop technically sound solutions to challenging

problems.

• Excellent Communicator: Ask questions to learn quicker and deliver results sooner.
• Entrepreneurial Spirit: A technical solution is only successful if economic.
• Team Player: Help others when you can and ask for help when needed to ensure everybody

is successful.

The Production Engineering Summer Student is responsible for, but not limited to:

• Evaluate well current operating expenses & identify and recommend potential cost savings.
• Evaluate both electronic & paper well files for relevant data (i.e. wellbore schematics,

previous workover results, etc.) to be used to determine previous solids formation.

• Evaluate previous production trends to determine effectiveness of previous workovers.
• Review historical engineering well evaluation and extract the important information related

to solids formation.

• Extract data (elevation profiles, gas compositions, pipeline sizes, production rates, etc.) from

various systems (GeoScout, ProdView, PI, Google Earth, etc.) to build pipelines models.

• Calculate theoretical Critical rate for a well (formulas provided) and predict the expected

liquid loading date to identify when artificial lift may be needed.
