Context & Environment

The proposed development option is a subsea tieback to FPSO. Technically challenging project with several technical novelties/innovations within company and oil & industry – long tie- back distance (~30km), Production flowline heating solution (DEH) at maximum water depth with some qualification, Subsea brownfield tie-in to existing EGINA facilities (SIMOPS), Constrained flowlines & umbilical layout/routing (Seabed disturbance, Geohazards, DEH constraints, several crossings), Novel material technology-CRA cladded/lined flowline, potentially with Mechanically-Lined Pipe (MLP), Flowline S-lay in deepwater, Large scale deployment of long Thermoplastic Composite Pipe (TCP) for water injection jumpers.

Heavy workload with tight FEED schedule and activities leading to FID.

Qualifications & Experience Required

• Diploma: Chartered Rotating Engineer with proven experience (> 15 years) with large onshore plants and ideally with LNG plants detailed design
• Professional experience: several years of proven experience in EPSCC and operation stages of LNG projects,
• Good teamwork, and previous team Management desirable
• Knowledge of project development in Oman and methods used to submit dossier to state expertise, permitting process, technical approval, Omani norms and standards, are all either an advantage or to progressively acknowledge and incorporate.
• Fluent in English

Other Observations

Worldwide missions to be forecasted due to spread of Contractors’ and main vendors locations.
