Pipeline Engineer at Amaiden Energy Nigeria

Key Responsibilities

• Responsible for all activities related to pipeline systems, associated structures (FLETs, ILTs, ancillaries...),rigid spools and all associated interfaces (includingother Preowei systems, existing Egina facilities, FlowAssurance, etc.) for the Client's FEED, CFT, EPSCC preparations up to FID.
• Responsible for ensuring the Pipeline systems, associated structures (FLETs, ILTs, ancillaries...), rigid spools and all associated interfaces (other Preowei systems, existing Egina facilities etc.) FEED activities are performed in accordance with Industry Best Practices, Company Rules, OneTech Directives and relevant COMPANY processes.
• Focal point for Client's Pipeline activities liaising directly with counterparts on Contractor side and with relevant support entities in OneTech Technical Lines Specialists/engineers.

The activities of the Pipeline Engineer include, but not limited to:

General:

•  Liaise daily with counterpart on the Contractor side to monitor the progress of FEED deliverables, anticipate /highlight delays and propose corrective actions when needed.
•  Assist in managing matters on SOR changes, technical queries and derogations to General Specifications, related to Pipeline systems, associated structures (FLETs, ILTs, ancillaries...), rigid spools and all associated interfaces (including Other systems, existing Egina facilities, flow assurance, etc.).
•  Assist in managing all Pipeline interfaces with all other concerned FEED packages (Topsides, SPS, Other UFR systems, Flow Assurance, Safety and Field Operations etc..) Provide technical support as necessary to the SURF team on all matters relating to Pipeline systems, associated structures (FLETs, ILTs, ancillaries...), rigid spools and all associated interfaces (including Topsides, SPS,Other UFR systems, existing Egina facilities, flow assurance, etc.).

FEED

•  Reviewing and approving FEED documents concerning Pipeline systems, associated structures (FLETs, ILTs,ancillaries...), rigid spools and all associated interfaces (including Topsides, SPS, Other UFR systems, existing facilities, flow assurance, etc.). – typically including but not limited to Flowlines and rigid spoolsMechanical design, Flowline expansion analysis, route optimization and field layout, on-bottom Stability Analysis, ECA, Lateral Buckling/Pipe-Walking Analysis, Free Span Analysis, Cathodic Protection design, Installation, Construction, Pre-commissioning and Commissioning Feasibility/Analyses etc.
•  Assisting, in Qualification activities as may be required pertaining to the relevant components of the flowline system including associated interfaces.
•  Assisting in resolution of interface issues as necessary, involving SPS, Topsides, Other UFR systems,installation, hook-up, pre-commissioning, commissioning etc., including the existing EGINA facilities.
• Assisting in analysis of Contractor technical queries and deviation requests and preparation of comments and proposed answers to these queries
•  Ensuring that Pipeline Engineering activities are performed in line with Contract requirements, Project Specifications, COMPANY General Specifications (prepare proper derogations, if required), and the Schedule during the FEED.
•  Ensuring that HSE requirements are taken into consideration during design
• Liaising with other Team engineers to ensure technical consistency of all interfacing systems constituting the Client's development as well as the existing facilities, in particular the Other Preowei systems, flow assurance, fabrication and installation feasibility, SIMOPS, pre-commissioning/commissioning etc.
•  Liaising with COMPANY HQ Specialists, or third parties, when required, for specific topics (such as geotechnics, hydrodynamics, structural, material & welding, corrosion & coating, etc.) to ensure that these topics are adequately addressed when they concern the Flowlines and rigid spools system.
•  Getting feedback from other deepwater projects on Flowline Systems (and associated ancillaries).
• Participating in various technical reviews (Hazids, Hazops, Project Technical Reviews etc …) and ensuring implementation of recommendations as necessary
•  Other tasks as assigned by hierarchies.
