Senior Process Engineer (Engineering Design Services Division)
Job Title / Contract Position: Senior Process Engineer
Department/ Project: Process
Job Category: Engineering
Reports To: Head of Process Department
Location: (Onshore/Offshore): 6th Floor, Sentral Shopping Centre, Jalan Seri Maharaja, Kg. Mumong ‘A’, Kuala Belait. KA 1531, Brunei Darussalam.
Contract Type & Position: 1 available position - (1 Full-Time Position & 1 year)
*Priority will be given to Local Brunei candidates.
QUALIFICATION AND EXPERIENCE (REQUIREMENTS):
(a) Hold a recognised degree in chemical engineering or equivalent and have minimum 10 years of relevant practical
experience gained either with a Design consultant/Contractor or Operating Company, in the offshore and onshore oil & gas industry
(b) Have 7 years’ experience in the upstream oil and gas facility design and preferably two (2) years in a leading/coordination role in multi-discipline team.
(c) Have a working knowledge of the relevant International Standards and Codes of Practice normally used in the Oil and
(d) Gas Industry. It is strongly preferred that the incumbent be familiar and has worked with Shell International Design Engineering Procedures (DEP’s).
(e) Have sound appreciation of: -
• Environmental aspects (ISO14001) of oil and gas design.
• Safety aspects of design in relation to the project cycle; e.g. HAZID, HAZOP, HAZAN, IPF classification
methodology and implementation, reliability studies, Fire & Gas mapping and risk analysis techniques.
• Quality Assurance and Control requirements of the design process.
(f) Have comprehensive skills and knowledge of Process Simulation of Physical Fluid Properties.
Be familiar and be experienced in the use of the following Process Software:
• Hysys/Unisim
• Pipesim
• FRED
• HTFS/HTRI
(g) As a minimum have the necessary sound Level of experience to undertake the following with minimum supervision:
• Steady state modeling of Plant facilities and unit Processes using either HYSYS or Unisim. With ability to both optimise
and translate results into design
• Steady state modeling of multi-phase Pipeline Hydraulic systems. With the ability to evaluate, optimise and translate
key flow assurance elements (e.g. Slugging, System liquid hold up, line and slug catcher sizing) into a Basis of Design.
• Detailed knowledge of the basic data and phase behaviours; equations of states, phase envelopes of gas and oil
components (C1-C6 and C7 +) H2, CO2, H2S, H2O; C7 + characterisation.
• Undertake studies to evaluate and identify system constraints/bottlenecks. Recommend and implement design for
removal of the identified constraints (e.g. system capacity constraints)
• Investigation of alternative process options, which might provide a step change improvement in capital cost and/or
operating cost economic performance.
• Optimise plant performance considering operating requirements and experience.
• Conducting performance trials to validate process simulations and identify bottlenecks.
• Develop key parameters for monitoring/optimising plant performance.
JOB FUNCTION, TASK AND RESPONSIBILITY (SCOPE):
(f) Have significant experience in Process design from Concept Design through to and inclusive of Detailed Design of the following Process unit operations and Key deliverables:
(g) Development of PFS/UFS, material balances, PEFS/UEFS (incl. Alignment of PFS/UFS, PEFS/UEFS with HSE aspects)
(h) Gas/Oil separation and dehydration systems (Incl. Sizing and selection of Gas/Oil separation & dehydration equipment).
(i) Stabilisation & Fractionation (incl. Sizing and selection of column reboilers and reflux systems for stabilisation and fractionation duties).
(j) Gas dehydration and conditioning (Incl. Selection of appropriate process technology for water and hydrocarbon dew point control and sizing major components).
(k) NGL/LPG processing.
(l) Gas Compression and artificial oil lifting (incl. Duty specification for compression, pumping, and turbo-expansion processes).
(m) Gas sweetening.
(n) Water treatment and Utilities.
(o) Relief, depressurising and disposal systems, including drains, vents and the quantification of dispersion and radiation effects.
(p) Development of Process Control and Safeguarding Philosophy and specifications.
(q) Development of Process material requirement and input to Material selection philosophy for different process and environmental conditions.
(r) Development of/and updating of Facility Hazardous Area Classification drawings, inclusive of Sources of release schedule.
(s) Have had significant exposure to HEMP processes, in particular:
(t) HAZOP and HAZID review participation, with responsibility for HAZOP/HAZID action close out and implementation in design.
(u) IPF review participation and input to IPF recommendation implementation into Key Process deliverables, namely PFSs/PEFSs/PSFS.
(v) Specification and design of Process Shutdown, Emergency Shutdown and Instrumented Protective Function safeguarding systems
