Description
Job Requirements Process Engineer in Oil & Gas domain with upstream or refinery experience. Involved in process calculations for cross country pipelines, Root cause analysis, Simulation studies , multiphase flow, and well head operations during normal, emergency, start-up & shutdown. Prepare and review PFD, P&ID , Heat and Mass Balance calculations, multiphase and surge calculations, hydraulic and pressure drop calculations Preparation of process parameters in pipeline datasheets Experience of risk studies and Brainstorming on Process units involving consequences and safeguards based on the nature of Risk and associated response systems. Preparation and review of Process datasheets of equipment such as Separators, Heat exchangers, sizing of PSVs and Control Valves. Procedures for Testing and commissioning of pipelines including Hydrostatic test, Pneumatic test, chemical cleaning and their method statements. Requirements and Types of Insulation and associated process calculations Participated in MOC studies and recommendations Pressure Surge Analysis using SPS pipeline hydraulic simulator SPS surge studies for a single flow control device SPS surge studies for a multiple flow control device using Model lab simulations. SPS simulation data extraction and processing SPS overpressure mitigation studies Pipeline Maximum Operating Discharge Pressure (MODP), Pressure Derate, RV Sizing, and Hydrostatic test calcs. Run MODP Calculations based on pipe design and hydrotest info using PA Tool for each pipeline segment. Provide Psafe calculations for MODP Derate, gather pressure data from Control Centers for derate calculations. Gather field data for RV sizing, determine the overpressure scenario, identify fluid type and properties at relieving condition, set pressure and overpressure allowance, determine the actual orifice size, calculate the required relief rate. Determine Hydrostatic test pressure for pipeline replacement projects. Work Experience Chemical engineering or equivalent degree is required. 8-12 years’ experience with upstream / refining domain and cross country pipelines background is required. Good understanding of process unit operations and process calculations, including, fluid flow principles, and reaction principles, is a plus. Working experience with HYSYS and HTRI is an advantage Must have good technical communication skills. This includes ability to communicate efficiently and effectively with unit engineers to understand their issues and problems and communicate solutions.
