MI SWACO, a Schlumberger Company
What my company do?
The segment was named as Dynamic Pressure Management (DPM) which is one of the segment in Schlumberger Drilling Services in Malaysia that provides the most advances technologies and engineering expertise to help operators ensure wellbore stability and pressure control in overbalanced and underbalanced drilling applications in challenging downhole environments. Controlling pressure while drilling is crucial for operators facing narrow pressure margins, unstable borehole and uncertain pressures that can raise safety risks and increase non-productive time and cost. Thus, the segments assist in drilling exploration & development wells by Managed Pressure Drilling, Underbalanced and Overbalanced Drilling and Pressure Control.
What is my job responsibility?
As a field engineer, I am responsible for Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) operations in offshore. The scope of the job involves field installation of equipment, monitoring MPD control system and maintenance of MPD equipment. I also in charge of preparing packages to be sent to the rig for MPD jobs. Besides, I also spend time in the office to do engineering job aside from doing field job. I involved in meeting with clients (operating companies), doing Drilling Programs for the wells to be drilled and simulations for the wells. Currently, I am working on the simulation for the first Underbalance Drilling well in Malaysia and also some of Drilling Programs for MPD wells.
