You will become part of a small team presently consisting of a number of Drilling Engineers with broad technical backgrounds, where it is expected that several operations could be ongoing at the same time, either at planning stage or at execution stage. Work scope and Responsibilities: The work will entail detailed well/Operations planning and subsequent technical support during the execution of exploration and appraisal wells in areas around the world where Maersk Oil currently have licenses or in new areas yet to come. Such areas would include West Africa, South America, Middle East, possibly Gulf of Mexico and any other area, where the company would be engaged in either onshore or off-shore operations.

Staying abreast of emerging new technologies and bringing them forth for incorporation into well design and operations is also a key component of this job.
