Flow Assurance Engineer

Job Purpose

As a member of the Front End & System Engineering team, the Flow assurance engineer will be involved in several stages of the field development process, all the way to later project phases. Under the supervision of the Flow Assurance Lead, he/she will work closely with Study Managers to define the best technical solution for the field.

The primary contribution will be through undertaking steady state and transient thermal and transient thermal and hydraulic flow simulations. The role will involve close interaction with other engineering disciplines internal, or sometimes external, such as subsurface/reservoir engineering, production chemistry, subsea pipelines and distribution and topsides process.

Study/project activities will be directed by the Flow Assurance lead and will be based mainly in the flow assurance arena but may also involve other process engineering activities or advising on the technical viability of a range of field development scenarios, based on analysis results and experience. Although the principal interactions will be with the UK teams, it is also possible that activities may involve interfacing with TechnipFMC teams overseas.
