Position: Flow Assurance Engineer
Location: FRANCE / Paris, then at Contractor engineering site during Project execution (UK or France)
Duration : 12 months renewable
Start date: ASAP
Status: Residential
The Flow Assurance Engineer will be responsible for all the flow assurance engineering activities and shall oversee all Flow Assurance subjects with regards to Sub-Surfaces, Topsides, SURF and SPS equipment packages of the Field Development Project during the FEED, CFT and EPCI phases. In particular, during the FEED phase the Service Provider shall coordinate and provide guidance to the FEED Engineering Contractor.
The Service Provider will provide support to the SURF Technical Manager, the SPS Technical manager, the FPSO Manager and the SURF / SPS / FPSO teams.
The project consists of:
• Production system: 2-off rings, 4-off (circa 22 km) Steel Lazy Wave Risers (SLWR), 6-off (circa 79 km) wet insulated rigid flowlines and 4-off rigid spools in CS and CRA lined pipe (WOL/MLP), as well as 19-off rigid jumpers in Duplex,
• Gas Injection system: 2-off, 2-off SLWR (circa 11 km), 2-off (circa 38 km) rigid flowlines in CS), as well as 19-off TCP jumpers (up to 19km in total length)
• Control system: 2-off dynamic and 29-off static umbilicals, 2-off SDU, 38 XTs and associated FL.
• and associated subsea structures, equipment and ancillaries, for a very deep-water (>3000m) oil with high GOR content greenfield project.
The Service Holder will report to the SURF Technical Manager and support primarily the SURF team and liaise with other project teams (SPS, FPSO & Field Operations).
ACTIVITIES
1. Adopt and demonstrate an exemplary behavior with regard to H3SE&Q, to implement and control H3SE rules and requirements within his area of responsibility. Ensure all flowlines technical documentation and SURF Contractor
activities comply with H3SE&Q requirements and highlight any potential deviations. Ensure safe working practices are implemented along all phases of project
2. Adopt and demonstrate an exemplary behavior with regard to the Company Ethics and “Code of Conduct” policy, promote and enforce the Anti-Corruption Program within the Project
3. Ensure adequate execution and supervision of Flow Assurance studies and provide timely and adequate Flow Assurance assistance to the Topsides, SUFR and SPS packages in cases of technical and / or design conflicts/problems to ensure equipment specification meets the project requirements. The field being a very deepwater oil field with a high GOR content it is expected that the Service Holder will be proactively suggesting ideas and taking decisions to solve the flow assurance challenges that are expected to happen throughout the different project phases.
4. Liaise with Reservoir, well performance, Field Operation, Process and Subsea teams to update them of the changes in Flow assurance requirements that may impact the project as well as to assist them in any studies or technical queries.
5. Perform Flow Assurance studies ensuring they are validated when required, providing timely information of any modifications which may arise during the project Flow Assurance review studies.
6. Participate in operations engineering of the project, including the definition of main principles, policy, and operating means.
7. Follow the day-to-day progress of engineering activities (FEED, CFT and detailed engineering) related to Flow assurance by the FEED contractor, then EPC contractors. Validate and guarantee the technical expertise of the Flow Assurance studies and the optimization of the Flow Assurance design. Provide technical assistance in decision-making due to any proposed Flow Assurance changes and recommend solutions to optimize the existing designs.
8. Be responsible for reviewing, fitness for purpose and compliance to Project and Company requirements of SURF / SPS
Tenderers Technical offers. Lead the technical clarifications with Tenderers and ensure timely closing of technical qualifications/clarifications. Carry out Tenders technical evaluation and support for preparation of RTA technical part,
