Well and Facility Asset Management Professional
You’re the information triage, the go-between. You are the link in a chain of professionals required for an oil and gas company to fulfill its obligations with regulators and partners. You gather information on a well or facility asset from the field, ensure it’s captured in a database and, if it’s appropriate, report it to regulators, project partners or others in the company.
Well and facility asset management professionals gather, analyze and report information about company well and facility assets, including operating and non-operating wells (onshore and offshore), and field-based facilities and pipelines. They have in-depth knowledge of wells and facilities and manage the technical and regulatory reporting requirements throughout the assets’ lifecycle.
