Flow Assurance Leader

Key Responsibilities

1. Flow Assurance Studies & Operational Support

• Perform and supervise all required flow assurance simulation studies (e.g., production optimization, forecasting, operating envelope evaluations, modification studies).
• Troubleshoot flow‑related issues and support production optimization initiatives.
• Develop and maintain the Flow Assurance Dossier and Flow Assurance Manual.
• Prepare start‑up sequences designed to reduce flaring, including gas‑in procedures and trunkline turndown strategies.
• Recommend technical solutions to optimize existing installations and operating conditions.
• Monitor system performance and adjust operational procedures based on field observations.
• Develop flow assurance guidelines for commissioning and well start‑up, from initial gas introduction to full dual‑train LNG operation.

2. Production & Asset Support

• Assist production and asset teams in analyzing flow assurance‑related shortfalls and identifying corrective or preventive actions.
• Collaborate with the chemical treatment team to address flow issues related to chemistry, deposits, or contaminants.
• Act as primary interface with subsurface teams to validate that production forecasts align with flow assurance operating envelopes.

3. Modifications & New Developments

• Provide flow assurance input to new field developments, engineering studies, and project modifications.
• Contribute flow assurance feedback to HQ technical studies and ongoing developments.

4. Flow Assurance Modeling

• Develop and maintain the comprehensive flow assurance model, including integration of updated PVT data and well test results.
• Maintain close communication with reservoir and well performance teams to ensure model accuracy.

5. Digital Tools & Operational Technology

• Lead development of the SMARTS tool (real‑time subsea surveillance and virtual metering), from bidding to final site implementation.
• Support development of subsea operational tools such as:
  • Subsea Operating Training Simulator (OTS)
  • Overall Control of Well and Trunkline (OCWT)
• Contribute to digital solution development for tracking and optimizing subsea KPIs, operating envelopes, chemical injection strategies, and production forecasts.

6. Training, Interfaces & Coordination

• Maintain strong communication with global flow assurance specialists and HQ teams.
• Develop training materials and deliver flow assurance training for operations and production personnel.

Accountabilities

• Ensure full subsea flow assurance readiness for project start‑up.
• Prepare complete start‑up documentation, simulations, procedures, tools, and reporting for subsea systems.
