Job Summary:
We are looking for a Senior Flow Assurance Engineer with more than 7 years of experience to join our onshore brownfield gas development project in South Sumatra, Indonesia, starting in January 2025. The ideal candidate will have a background in both offshore and onshore projects, with expertise in flow assurance engineering and system design. This role offers a direct contract with our end client, and while the project is long-term, the contract duration will be confirmed soon.
Job Responsibilities:
- Lead flow assurance studies and provide technical expertise in pipeline, flowline, and process system design for the onshore brownfield gas development project.
- Perform risk analysis and ensure proper management of flow assurance challenges such as hydrate formation, wax deposition, and erosion/corrosion.
- Evaluate and optimize pipeline and facility designs to ensure reliable fluid flow and system performance throughout the project lifecycle.
- Lead the simulation and modeling of flow assurance scenarios, ensuring systems are designed for safe and efficient operations.
- Review and analyze operational data, advising on necessary adjustments to optimize performance and mitigate risks.
- Interface with project teams to ensure flow assurance considerations are incorporated into all stages of design, construction, and operation.
- Provide input into the development of safety, operational, and maintenance procedures with respect to flow assurance systems.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to assess and resolve flow-related challenges in both onshore and offshore environments.
- Conduct and oversee the design and testing of flow assurance-related equipment and systems.
- Prepare and present technical reports and documents for stakeholders, including risk assessments and mitigation strategies.
- Lead troubleshooting efforts for flow assurance-related issues during construction and operation.
- Ensure adherence to industry standards and regulatory requirements throughout the design, construction, and operational phases of the project.
