Flow Assurance Engineer - TSI

Overview

Provide subsea flow assurance engineering expertise and judgement in support of engineering risk, integrity management and the delivery of safe, compliant and efficient operations within bp Technical Solutions India (TSI), Pune.

What you'll do

• Support the engineering application of tools and design methods for multiphase flow in the context of Flow Assurance, by delivering or directly managing modelling of relevant flow scenarios.
• Review, update, and apply flow assurance strategies to prevent line blockages or other production upsets and minimise operating downtime as conditions change through field life.
• Perform multiphase flow and flow assurance analysis within an operational or project support context, and influence others to achieve desired objectives to mitigate flow assurance risks.
• Deliver flow assurance data analysis and presentation to enable continuous improvement in operational support, performance management of flow assurance activity and reporting of key performance metrics.
• Manage, coordinate and supervise flow assurance engineering contractors (on-site contract flow assurance engineers, or external suppliers), appropriate to the scale, complexity and business requirements of operating regions.
• Challenge, prioritise and plan work requests to meet operational delivery schedule and quality.
• Engage key collaborators to convey understanding of multiphase flow and its relevance to their context, developing and maintaining positive working relationships representing the flow assurance discipline across regions.
• Provide flow assurance operating philosophies to be delivered by others, including chemical or operational requirements for both steady state and transient conditions (start-up and shut down).
• Ensure that the Operating Guidelines and Procedures embody these strategies and solutions.
• Develop solutions to complex flow assurance problems that will improve safety, production efficiency and cost effectiveness.

What you'll need

• Degree or equivalent experience qualified in a relevant science or engineering discipline (chemical, mechanical or petroleum engineering).
• Working towards chartered engineer status.
• Proven knowledge of flow assurance risks and mitigation strategies, and a solid understanding of disciplines affected by or affecting flow assurance threats.
• Broad knowledge of the issues associated with single and multiphase thermo-hydraulics.
• Knowledge of and capability with flow assurance software (OLGA, Pipesim, PVTSIM, Multiflash) and its application to managing flow assurance issues within an operating and (ideally) project environment.
• Knowledge of and capability with data analysis tools and programming.
• 3 to 5 years of experience.

Nice to have

• Support the optimisation of digital tools to progress continuous improvement of global subsea flow assurance support (e.g. data gathering and data analysis, dashboards, risk analysis tools, database management, data visualisation, etc.).
