Senior Engineer, Master Plan

JOB PURPOSE :

The scope of Master Plan Team is to establish an integrated subsurface and surface development frame, with planning and design guidelines for future activities in the Asset, to be used as a reference for the future projects.

Within this team, the scope and purpose of the Senior Engineer Master Plan (Subsurface) is to :

• Develop and specify clustering strategy options that are consistent with the overall ADCO development plan.
• Analyse clustering strategy options particularly in relation to associated costs, drilling complexity, rig specifications, logistics and safety constraints (including SIMOPS).

KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES :

Job Specific Accountabilities

Accountability 1

• Submit the Wells / Clustering allocation following all concerned parties' requirements.
• Focus on ongoing developments incompatibilities to propose specific temporary solutions, in coordination with projects team, reservoir and drilling engineers.
• Define MP scope of work for wells clustering and collect, compile, and validate all necessary data pertaining to wells and clustering, particularly reservoir and project data needed to build MP reference case.
• Define the objectives and the scope of wells / clustering studies to be implemented and the level of these studies (pre-conceptual, conceptual, etc.).
• Monitor and follow up on the implementation of all specified and Ad Hoc wells / clustering studies by other ADNOC Onshore division / department or by external assistance.
• Participate, when necessary, within the limits of wells and clustering scope, to overall coordination with all involved parties in Oil and Gas production and impacting (or potentially impacted by) Developments.
• Identify issues at interfaces between field networks and treatment facilities, and participate in alignment and optimization between all subjects (for instance, clustering concept impact on pipelines networks, profiles, and treatment facilities).
• Implement the necessary safety studies to design clusters layout and identify possible location of future cluster.
• Determine the timeline based on asset requirements for clustering upgrades (for instance virtual pads, to wellbays and minipads) and identify desktop survey early works requirements to allow construction of the clustering entity.
