About this role
Senior Flow Assurance Engineer
Location: Kuala LumpurDuration: 12 months
Sector: Deepwater SURF
Engagement: Client assignment
Start date: To be confirmed
Role Summary
Deliver flow assurance engineering for deepwater subsea production and SURF systems, ensuring safe and reliable transport of hydrocarbons from reservoir interface to receiving facilities. Perform steady-state and transient studies and convert results into practical design and operating requirements.
Key Responsibilities
- Perform steady-state and transient multiphase flow simulations for deepwater wells, flowlines, risers, pipelines, and production networks.
- Develop flow assurance design bases, philosophies, calculation notes, reports, operating envelopes, and technical specifications.
- Assess pressure drop, thermal performance, cooldown, restart, turndown, ramp-up, depressurisation, liquid handling, and capacity constraints.
- Evaluate hydrate, wax, scale, slugging, erosion, corrosion, and solids risks and develop prevention, management, and remediation strategies.
- Define insulation, heating, chemical injection, pigging, preservation, and operating requirements in collaboration with relevant disciplines.
- Support concept selection, FEED, and detailed design and provide inputs to line sizing, material selection, equipment design, and operating procedures.
- Validate models and assumptions against process, reservoir, production chemistry, and field data, and undertake sensitivity and uncertainty analysis.
- Review contractor and vendor work, contribute to technical reviews, and mentor less experienced engineers.
Experience and Qualifications
- Mandatory: directly relevant SURF and deepwater project experience.
- Degree in Chemical, Process, Petroleum, or a closely related engineering discipline.
- Typically 10 years or more of flow assurance experience, including substantial deepwater subsea and SURF project exposure.
- Strong experience in steady-state and transient multiphase simulation for subsea production systems.
- Demonstrable knowledge of hydrates, wax, scale, slugging, thermal-hydraulic behaviour, and production chemistry interfaces.
- Experience across concept, FEED, and detailed design; operational or commissioning support experience is advantageous.
- Strong analytical, technical reporting, and multidisciplinary communication skills.
Software and Technical Tools
- Advanced OLGA capability is expected.
- Experience with PIPESIM, Multiflash, PVTSim, Aspen HYSYS, or equivalent flow assurance and fluid-modelling tools is advantageous.
Candidate Profile
A technically credible and delivery-focused engineer who can work effectively in a multidisciplinary environment, challenge assumptions constructively, communicate risk clearly, and produce high-quality engineering within programme requirements. The successful candidate must be comfortable engaging with clients, contractors, vendors, and offshore stakeholders.
