Full role details
- Assists in the review of process aspects of Field Development Plans, Reservoir Management Plans, Detailed Engineering, and any other technical proposals concerning processing of petroleum.
- Aid in the evaluation of process safety requirements and advise on process risks. The proposed process systems operate under strict performance conditions wherein an upset may result in a fatality, loss in production and cost variations. The support provided in the evaluation ensures that inherently safe considerations are undertaken when covering the design envelope.
- Utilize process simulation software to analyze and review process designs of the upstream processing facilities. The simulation works to define the flow assurance of the proposed pipelines, interactions of the processing facilities among the proposed battery limit pools, and the operability and maintainability of the systems among others.
- Assists in the review of licensee work programs and budgets relating to production systems, processes, and operations to ensure technical and cost efficiency. The expected outcomes of the review are comments to be communicated to the licensee on the technical proposals such as areas of concern, value engineering addition, noncompliance, or commendations among others.
- Partake in field monitoring and reporting on the installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of processing systems to ensure compliance with Ugandan legal framework, standards, procedures, international practice, and industry codes
