Experience: 15+ years in upstream processes

Industry: Oil & Gas (Onshore, Offshore, LNG, Gas Treatment Facilities)

Job Summary:

We are seeking an experienced Senior Chemical Engineer to support Exploration & Production (E&P) assets by performing system-level studies, analyzing GHG emissions, and providing process optimization recommendations. The ideal candidate will have expertise in flare gas recovery, process simulation, energy efficiency, and revamp/troubleshooting studies.

Key Responsibilities:

- Conduct system-level studies for Separation, Gas Processing, Compression, Flare & Vent Systems (HP/LP), and other upstream processes.

- Guide PQLA engineers in data collection related to energy use, venting, flaring, and GHG quantification.

- Perform process simulations, heat & mass balance development, and process calculations such as:

- Blowdown/Depressurization (MDMT) studies

- Thermal design of heat exchangers

Pipeline surge analysis

- Line & equipment sizing

- Provide recommendations for GHG reduction and ensure compliance with industry flaring norms.

- Support revamp studies by predicting equipment performance under different operating conditions.

- Conduct troubleshooting studies to compare actual vs. theoretical performance and recommend improvements.

- Review and validate process documents (PFDs, P&IDs, C&EDs, PSFDs, Safe Charts, etc.).

- Endorse Equipment Datasheets and Instrument Process Datasheets for control valves, flow elements, and pressure safety valves.

- Assist in HAZOP & HAZID studies and ensure seamless technical interface across teams.

- Work with PI modules (PI ProcessBook, PI Vision, PI Data Extraction) for process monitoring and optimization.

Required Qualifications & Experience:

- 15+ years of experience in upstream oil & gas process engineering.

- Strong understanding of process variables and their impact on energy efficiency & CO2 reduction.

- Expertise in process simulation and modeling.

- Deep knowledge of industry flaring norms and best practices for flare gas recovery.

- Experience in project development and execution.

- Proficiency in HAZOP & HAZID studies.

- Strong technical communication skills to support interdisciplinary collaboration.

- Ability to work with minimal supervision and provide strategic recommendations.
