About bp :

Bp Technical Solutions India (TSI) centre in Pune aims to build on bp’s existing engineering and technical strengths, to deliver high quality services to its hydrocarbons and new energy businesses worldwide. TSI brings together diverse engineering capability to provide technical services across a range of areas including engineering, maintenance, optimization, data processes, projects and subsurface, to deliver safe, affordable and lower emission energy, while continuously innovating how we work.

About the Role

Flow assurance team provides subsea flow assurance engineering expertise and judgement in support of engineering risk, integrity management and the delivery of safe, compliant and efficient operations.

What you will deliver

• Lead multiphase flow and flow assurance analysis within an operational or project support context, understand the relationship between such work and key flow assurance decisions, and influence others to achieve desired objectives to mitigate flow assurance risks.
• Lead flow assurance data analysis and presentation within an operational or project support context to enable continuous improvement in operational support, performance management of flow assurance activity and reporting of key performance metrics.
• Support BP’s engineering application of tools and design methods for multiphase flow, in the context of Flow Assurance, through delivering or directly managing modelling of relevant flow scenarios.
• Monitor, coordinate and manage BP staff flow assurance engineers, on site contract flow assurance engineers, or external suppliers, appropriate to the scale, complexity and business requirements of operating regions.
• Challenge, prioritise and plan work requests to balance production risks with the available resources and effectiveness of response both in the short term and proactively anticipating major requirements over the next year.
• Engage key stakeholders as appropriate to convey understanding of multiphase flow and its relevance to their context, developing and maintaining positive working relationships representing the flow assurance discipline across regions, for example by supporting key leadership forums such as asset hub tables, subsea leadership meetings, and meetings with field partners.
• Review, update, and apply flow assurance strategies to prevent line blockages or other production upsets and minimise operating downtime as conditions change through field life. Ensure that the Operating Guidelines and Procedures embody these strategies and solutions.
• Provide flow assurance operating philosophies to be executed by others, including chemical or operational requirements for both steady state and transient conditions (start-up and shut down).
• Develop solutions to complex flow assurance problems that will improve safety, production efficiency and cost effectiveness.

What you will need to be successful
