Job Description

Job Description:

The Process/Flow Assurance Engineer is responsible for the design of oil and gas production facilities and transport systems, ensuring operational continuity by developing strategies to mitigate risks such as gas hydrate formation, wax/asphaltene deposition, erosion, corrosion, and slugging.

Responsibilities:

• Conduct technical studies to assess system operability throughout project life cycles, including fluid characterization using thermodynamic simulators to model PVT behavior.
• Develop and validate process simulation models (e.g., HYSYS).
• Perform heat and mass balance analyses for field development projects.
• Deliver process engineering expertise to ensure quality of technical deliverables.
• Execute hydraulic simulations (single/multiphase flow) to size production/injection pipelines.
• Model transient multiphase flow to evaluate thermal/hydraulic behavior during operational changes (startup, shutdown, rate variations), including slugging and cool-down/warm-up scenarios.
• Predict solid formation/deposition (hydrates, wax, scale, asphaltenes) via modeling/lab analysis.
• Assess erosion/corrosion risks to guide material selection (collaborating with Materials Engineers).
• Support technical committees through partner engagement, presentations, and progress reporting.
• Contribute to concept design, Basis of Design (BoD), and Stage Gate deliverables.
• Participate in risk workshops to identify/mitigate project risks.
• Collaborate with Subsurface, Operations, HSE, Drilling, and Regulatory teams to align with Field Development Plan objectives.

Requirements:

Education:

• Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in relevant oil and gas discipline.

Professional Experience:

• 15+ years in production systems design/flow assurance.
• 10+ years in multidisciplinary field development teams.

Technical Skills:

• Flow assurance software (Pipesim, LedaFlow, or equivalent).
• Fluid modeling (PVTSim or similar).
• Process simulation (Hysys or similar).
• Knowledge of international standards/local regulations for process safety/design.

Language:

• Fluent English (written and spoken).
