| Aspect | Well Completion Engineer | Well Drilling Engineer |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Focus | Designing and implementing well completion strategies to optimize production | Planning and executing drilling operations to reach target reservoirs |
| Certifications | Petroleum Engineering degree, completion certifications | Petroleum Engineering degree, drilling certifications |
| Work Environment | Offshore/onshore well sites, production facilities | Drilling rigs, well sites, offshore platforms |
| Industry Usage | Oil and gas exploration and production companies | Oil and gas exploration and production companies |
While both roles require petroleum engineering backgrounds and work in oil and gas environments, Well Completion Engineers focus on designing and executing well completion procedures to ensure optimal production, whereas Well Drilling Engineers are responsible for planning and managing drilling operations to reach the reservoir. Understanding these distinctions helps professionals and employers align skills with job requirements.

Entry-level Wells Engineers (Horizons Program) - Wells engineers have both office and field based assignments as part of their early career development. Field based assignments typically include: Drill Site Representatives for on-site drilling operations including exploratory wells and development wells, and/or Well Site Representatives for on-site frac spreads and well intervention operations on producing wells. Office assignments can be: drilling engineer, completions engineer, and/or well intervention engineer. Typical responsibilities for drilling engineering include: cost estimation, bit and drill string design, casing and cement design, and mud program design. Typical responsibilities for completions engineering include: cost estimation, well completion design including fracture or sand control design, well completion fluid recommendation, production tubing string design and effective nodal analysis, including understanding the integrated production system to effectively optimize production. Typical responsibilities for well intervention engineering include: designing, planning, supporting, and supervising well intervention and completion procedures, applying technology and innovation in remediating wells the use of coiled tubing and snubbing units.
As part of your development, you will participate in the Wells Horizons program. Horizons is an employee development program designed to accelerate the knowledge, skills and self-confidence of Chevron's new workforce. The program's primary focus is the first three to five (3-5) years of an employee's career and provides a solid foundation of knowledge and experience, that enables participants to quickly contribute at a higher level.
