Data Scientist, Wells Engineering

Engineering
Houston, TX

What you'll work on

  • Building models to support pressure test interpretation, including positive and inflow tests
  • Evaluating time series data from well control equipment, such as BOPs and associated control systems, and developing predictive maintenance models
  • Developing monitoring and anomaly detection models for sustained or abnormal annulus pressure behavior across the well lifecycle
  • Tracking barrier element status and verification history to surface gaps and prioritize integrity work
  • Cleaning and structuring data into something models can trust
  • Explaining model results clearly to wells engineers, integrity teams, and leadership, including when the model shouldn't be trusted

Qualifications

What you bring

  • A degree in data science, computer science, statistics, engineering, physics, or a related quantitative field
  • Strong proficiency in Python and its data science ecosystem (pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, and similar), with experience in at least one of time series modeling, anomaly detection, or predictive maintenance
  • At least one model or analytical tool you built that was actually used to inform engineering or operational decisions
  • A solid grasp of statistics and model validation, and the judgment to know when an engineering assessment beats a data-driven one
  • Experience working with physical or sensor-derived data, ideally in oil and gas, wells engineering, or well integrity, or in another industrial setting such as manufacturing, energy, or aerospace

Nice to have

  • Hands-on wells engineering or well integrity experience at an operator, drilling contractor, or oilfield services company
  • Familiarity with well integrity management systems or barrier assurance workflows
  • Exposure to cloud platforms or deploying models into production
  • SQL experience
