Introduction

We're seeking a Flow Assurance Engineer to work with a major Oil & Gas company on a 1-year contract basis with the possibility of extension.

What are you going to do

The Flow Assurance Engineer is responsible for designing oil and gas production systems and assessing their operability, including wells, flowlines, risers, production and injection facilities, and pipelines.
Using analytical and computational tools to predict the transient multiphase flow and thermal behavior of the production system.
Develop and document functional requirements and operational strategies to prevent, mitigate, and remediate vulnerabilities associated with gas hydrate formation, wax deposition, and other solids.
Conduct technical studies to assess system operability throughout the project cycle.
Characterize fluids using a thermodynamic simulator to model the PVT behavior of produced fluids.
Perform steady-state, single-phase flow modeling to size gas and/or water injection systems and pipelines.
Conduct steady-state, multiphase fluid modeling to design production systems, including functional requirements for artificial lift and/or thermal insulation.
Utilize transient, multiphase fluid modeling to assess thermal and hydraulic transients during production rate changes, turndown, startup, shutdown, and blow-down, including flowline and riser slugging, cool-down, and warm-up.
Use modeling and/or laboratory analysis to predict and assess solid formation, deposition, bedding, and/or blockage behavior for hydrates, sand, wax, scale, asphaltenes, and other solids.
Assess erosion and/or corrosion to guide proper material selection, in collaboration with Materials Engineers.

Essential skills and knowledge

S. in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Petroleum Engineering.
Must have formal training and demonstrated work experience in OLGA transient multiphase flow modeling.
Demonstrated work experience as a flow assurance engineer or process engineer on an oil or gas field development project or in oil or gas field and facility operations.
Experience in developing multicomponent fluid characterizations using a thermodynamic or process simulator, such as PVTSIM, HYSYS, or equivalent.
Strong verbal communication and writing skills.
