Introduction
- Materials Lead on LNG Major Projects and North Field Production Sustainability Projects.
- Provide expert guidance on materials selection, corrosion management, cathodic protection, coating and risk-based inspection (RBI) for offshore topsides, subsea, and onshore pipelines (offshore scope) projects.
What are you going to do
- Ensure the Contractor's materials and corrosion engineering for Topsides, Subsea Pipelines and Onshore Facilities (Offshore scope), comply with the Contract requirements including codes and standards. Provide guidance to the contractor to promote compliance.
- Review and approve corrosion control philosophies, corrosion risk assessments (CRAS), corrosion control manuals, dead leg register and mitigation strategies for offshore, subsea, and onshore systems (offshore scope), and lead Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) programs, manage Pipeline Integrity Management Plans (PIMS), and establish Integrity Operating Windows.
- Lead technical analyses to determine the most effective materials for a given application and to ensure that these materials meet safety, performance and quality standards.
- Lead the qualification of corrosion and batch inhibitors for wet sour gas pipelines
- Review and approve painting and coating deliverables and design of cathodic protection (CP) systems for offshore platforms and subsea structures through modeling and retrofit programs.
- Develop and maintain the specifications and standards for materials used in Major Projects.
- Review non-conformances, technical queries, standard deviation requests and product/ component issues
- Lead and conduct metallurgical investigations and root cause analyses and identify and solve materials related issues that arise during project execution. In addition, lead qualification programs of new mills and materials.
- Participate to key design workshop and ensure that materials recommendation is correctly implemented and actions closed before the end of EPCI (Lessons Learned, Value Engineering, HAZID HAZOP, engineering criticality assessment, etc.) and also ensure compliance with international codes & standards: API 571, API 580, API 581, NACE MR0175/ISO 15156, DNV-ST-F101, ASME B31.3/B31.4/B31.8, ASME SEC VIII and ISO 21457…etc.
