Flow Assurance Engineer

Dubai, United Arab Emirates | Posted on 19/12/2022

During the FEED and EPSCC Phase, the job holder is in charge to:

• The job holder is responsible for the scope definition and implementation of all Flow Assurance (FA) studies required

throughout the project. The objective of these studies is to ensure an effective delivery of hydrocarbons from the wells to the

CPF, and injection water from CPF to the wellpads, under the range of operating conditions required throughout the field life.

• The job holder main missions are then the identification, the definition of scope of work, the implementation, follow-up and

control of Flow Assurance (FA) studies, the analysis of their results, the issue/validation of recommendations for the design of

facilities and the control of design (FEED / Detailed Engineering) performed by Contractors, in compliance with Project

Specifications and Procedures, TOTAL General Specifications, discipline requirements and international codes, with the

objective to reduce costs without impacting the schedule or the required level of quality and safety.

• The job holder shall also interface with other elements of the project on all engineering and constructability matters.

• Liaise with other engineering disciplines (safety, piping, rotating, vessels…) and other entities such as Site Safety, QA, Construction,

Operations & Commissioning project personnel with regard to process matters

• Attend HAZOP studies and follow-up response

• Coordinate and interface with the various project teams involved (Reservoir, Drilling / Completions, Process, Pipelines, Interfaces,

Commissioning, Operations) to ensure that the Flow Assurance specifications are implemented correctly (review/comment key

engineering documents issued by packages, manage identified interfaces, etc.

• Participate in the preparation and development of the Project Operating Philosophy and Procedures and to identify the

corresponding Flow Assurance constraints requiring analysis and resolution.

• To ensure that interfaces with all other concerned packages and parties are handled correctly

CONTEXT & ENVIRONMENT

Growth Gas Integrated Project (GGIP) is a project in Iraq around Ratawi Oil field. It includes 4 sub projects: Common Seawater Supply Project

(CSSP), Gas Midstream project (GMP) and Solar Power Plant (SSP) and Associated Gas Upstream Project (AGUP). 

The Overall Capex of GGIP project will be around 10 B$.

The electricity provided by the SPP will be reinjected in the grid, whereas the one generated by the GMP will be used by GMP and AGUP.

The GGIP project will be cost recovered by the AGUP oil production.

AGUP scope is the development of Ratawi oil field and interfaces with the 4 in 1 projects.

It is the perimeter of the current job description.

It is a PSC with phased developments.

Ph1 is the upgrade of existing Ratawi facilities to reach a production of 120 kbopd in 2025. Associated reserves are 400 Mb, for CAPEX of 1B$.

Ph2 is a large-scale development of the field targeting a plateau of 210 kbopd in 2027. Associated reserves are 1,800 Mb, for Capex of 6B$.

The project main challenges are:

• CAPEX is the main project driver,

• the tight schedule,

• interfaces with the other projects, notably GMP and AGUP phase 1 project
