Lead multiphase flow and flow assurance analysis within an operational or project support context, understand the relationship between such work and key flow assurance decisions, and influence others to achieve desired objectives to mitigate flow assurance risks.
Lead flow assurance data analysis and presentation within an operational or project support context to enable continuous improvement in operational support, performance management of flow assurance activity and reporting of key performance metrics.
Support BP s engineering application of tools and design methods for multiphase flow, in the context of Flow Assurance, through delivering or directly managing modelling of relevant flow scenarios.
Monitor, coordinate and manage BP staff flow assurance engineers, on site contract flow assurance engineers, or external suppliers, appropriate to the scale, complexity and business requirements of operating regions.
Challenge, prioritise and plan work requests to balance production risks with the available resources and effectiveness of response both in the short term and proactively anticipating major requirements over the next year.
Engage key stakeholders as appropriate to convey understanding of multiphase flow and its relevance to their context, developing and maintaining positive working relationships representing the flow assurance discipline across regions, for example by supporting key leadership forums such as asset hub tables, subsea leadership meetings, and meetings with field partners.
Review, update, and apply flow assurance strategies to prevent line blockages or other production upsets and minimise operating downtime as conditions change through field life. Ensure that the Operating Guidelines and Procedures embody these strategies and solutions.
Provide flow assurance operating philosophies to be executed by others, including chemical or operational requirements for both steady state and transient conditions (start-up and shut down).
Develop solutions to complex flow assurance problems that will improve safety, production efficiency and cost effectiveness.
What you will need to be successful
Degree qualified in a relevant science or engineering discipline (chemical, mechanical or petroleum engineering).
Working towards chartered engineer
Must have experience / skills (to be hired with):
Demonstrable knowledge of flow assurance risks and mitigation strategies, and a working knowledge of disciplines affected by or affecting flow assurance threats.
Broad knowledge of the issues associated with single and multiphase thermo-hydraulics.
Knowledge of and capability with flow assurance software (OLGA, Pipesim, PVTSIM, Multiflash) and its application to managing flow assurance issues within an operating and (ideally) project environment.
Knowledge of and capability with data analysis tools and programming.
Good to have experiences / skills (can be trained for - learning / on the job):
Support the optimisation of digital tools to progress continuous improvement of global subsea flow assurance support (e.g. data gathering and data analysis, dashboards, risk analysis tools, database management, data visualisation, etc.).
