The Senior Production Engineer – Offshore is responsible for ensuring offshore wells and facilities operate safely, reliably, and at optimal performance. This role leads production surveillance, data quality assurance, and performance diagnostics, translating insights into actionable optimization and reliability improvements. Working within ENGINE, the Senior Production Engineer partners closely with global Offshore Operations, Regional Production Engineering, Asset Development (AD), and Subsurface teams to deliver high-quality surveillance products (dashboards, well and facility performance assessments, exception analyses) and to drive short cycle optimization, troubleshooting, and production improvement initiatives. With 10–15 years of experience, the role is expected to independently execute and continuously improve surveillance and data workflows, diagnose complex well and facility performance issues, and recommend technically sound solutions. The Senior Production Engineer serves as a technical authority for production performance, mentors early career engineers, and proactively escalates and influences resolution of high impact risks and opportunities across the asset. 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.      Key Responsibilities • Serve as the technical lead for offshore production engineering, setting priorities and driving work that improves production, reliability, and integrity across the asset life cycle. • Lead advanced production surveillance for complex offshore systems (subsea wells, platforms, and facilities) by establishing surveillance plans, tracking KPI performance and production losses, and regularly communicating insights and recommendations to regional production engineering and asset teams. • Evaluate and support well stimulation programs (e.g., acid treatments) by defining candidate selection criteria, maintaining candidate lists and productivity index tracking, supporting job design and execution reviews, and completing post job performance assessments with documented learnings. • Perform and steward Pressure Transient Analysis (PTA) and     Rate Transient Analysis (RTA) to diagnose well/reservoir performance, quantify deliverability and skin impacts, and translate results into recommendations and model updates using automation and analytics tools (e.g., SA&O tool suite, Kappa Automate). • Build, calibrate, and maintain integrated well, network, and facility models to identify constraints, test operating scenarios, optimize production targets, and support operational and investment decisions. • Compile and interpret waterflood surveillance data (injection and production trends, pattern response, and sweep indicators) and translate findings into field
