Engineer Plant Operations

Job Purpose: Plans, coordinates, and supervises the safe and efficient oil and gas production, processing, and export operations and ensuring safe and efficient operation of the water injection, Gas injection, Gas lift, ESP wells and CO2 injection and distribution. Maintain optimum operating efficiency and assure facilities and systems integrity/reliability while assuring compliance to HSE Management system. Troubleshoot and recommends corrective actions to deal with abnormalities, de-bottlenecking, upgrading and optimum operating conditions for the plant and processes. Key Accountabilities: Review the operating data as per the planned production targets, past and present prevailing conditions including laboratory analysis, operating plant performance; highlight any major deviations from the Design Operating Envelopes (parameters.). Work closely with key stakeholders for alarm rationalization / alarm management and ensure compliance with alarm management KPIs, to ensure comprehensive plans are in the pipeline to achieve the mandated growth, to plan and carryout Field Technical Rate (FTR) / Field Capacity Test (FCT) to identify facilities’ bottlenecks, any potential problems and to establish optimum parameters for efficient and safe operation. Coordinate with different stakeholders in the planning and implementation of production and injection adjustments to meet mandated oil production and gas, water, CO2 injection KPls. Ensuring data entries accuracy in PIES system related to production, injection, and export data periodically. Continuous follow up with Development and planning teams to conduct Field Sustainable Oil Production Rate (FSOPR) exercise in line with the business plan, conduct Reservoir Monitoring Program (RMP) program and Water Alternating Gas Wells (WAG) changeover. Coordinates with Integrated Shutdown Planning Team and other stakeholders for the 5 yearly shutdown plans, conduct shutdown optimization exercises (related to shut down, handover and start up), manpower distribution and resource management and ensure yearly shutdown scopes are identified and performed within the approved shutdown period. Troubleshooting of plant chronic problems related to surface facilities and participates in the root cause analyses of major/critical equipment repetitive failures to ensure production availability. Monitors the operation of equipment, prepares analytical reports with appropriate trends to track the performance of all processes. Highlights abnormalities and advises operation personnel on corrective actions. Checks, endorses and reviews regularly the operating procedures and standing instructions of the plant units for safe and cost-efficient operation.
