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 knowledgeÂ
* B.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.
