Position: Process Engineer
Job Description
The Senior Process Engineer will be responsible for developing technically sound, practical,
and commercially competitive process solutions for oil and gas production and processing
facilities. The role will have a strong focus on Concept Engineering, Basic Engineering,
Front-End Engineering Design (FEED), and pre-tender/proposal support, as well as
detailed engineering and project execution when required.
The position requires a strong understanding of client requirements, product specifications,
applicable codes and standards, technology options, and project economics. The Senior
Process Engineer will evaluate alternative processing schemes and recommend the most
practical, reliable, secure, and economical solution to meet oil, gas, water, and emissions
specifications.
The candidate must have extensive experience in upstream and midstream oil and gas
processing, including crude oil treatment, associated gas processing, produced-water
treatment, gas treatment, gas-to-power, LNG-related processes, flare minimization, and vapor
recovery. Strong expertise in process simulation and process optimization is essential.
Roles and Responsibilities:
1. Concept Engineering, Basic Engineering and FEED
• Develop process concepts and facility configurations for upstream and midstream
oil and gas developments.
• Prepare and define the Basis of Design, Design Criteria, design assumptions, feed
compositions, operating envelopes, product specifications, and battery-limit
conditions.
• Translate client requirements, field-development objectives, production profiles,
and export specifications into practical process design solutions.
• Develop and evaluate alternative process schemes during the Concept,



Basic
Engineering, and FEED stages.
• Perform technical and economic screening of alternative technologies and process
configurations.
2. Technical Scope and Domain Expertise
• Crude Oil Treatment and Export: Separation, stabilization, dehydration, desalting,
desulfurization, heating / cooling, storage, metering, and pumping systems to meet
export specifications such as BS&W;, salt content, vapor pressure, H2S content
SLB-Private
• Associated Gas Processing and Export: Gas compression, dehydration,
sweetening, dew-point control, condensate recovery, contaminant removal, fuel
gas, metering, reinjection, and export systems.
• Gas Treatment Technology Selection: Evaluation and selection of suitable
technologies, including amine systems, glycol or molecular sieve dehydration,
membranes, refrigeration, low-temperature separation, mercury removal, and
contaminant-removal systems.
• Produced-Water Treatment: Selection and design of oil-water separation (such as
hydrocyclones, flotation, filtration, etc..), chemical treatment, disposal, reuse, and
reinjection systems.
• Gas-to-Power and LNG: Fuel-gas conditioning for gas engines and turbines, gas
quality control, compression, LNG feed-gas pretreatment, dehydration, acid-gas
removal, mercury removal, and heavy-hydrocarbon removal.
• Flaring, Vapor Recovery and Emissions Reduction: Flare minimization, flare-gas
recovery, vapor-recovery systems, emissions reduction, and evaluation of gas
recycling or utilization options.
3. Process Simulation and Engineering Calculations/Deliverables
• Develop, validate, and optimize process simulations using Aspen HYSYS/
Flarenet/EDR or equivalent software suite, and perform sensitivity and optimization
studies.
• Prepare heat and material balances, equipment sizing, hydraulic calculations, and
utility estimates.
• Perform relief, blowdown, depressurization, flare-load, and tank-venting
calculations.
• Define design cases, operating envelopes, turndown requirements, and key
process parameters.
• Prepare, review, and approve, as applicable:
o Basis of Design, Design Criteria, and process philosophies




o Block Flow Diagrams, Process Flow Diagrams, P&IDs;, and Heat and
Material Balances
o Process datasheets, equipment specifications, equipment lists, and utility
summaries
o Relief, blowdown, depressurization, and flare-load studies
o Tender clarifications, deviations, technical qualifications, and vendor
evaluations
4. Safety in Design and Applicable Standards
• Apply inherent safety principles during concept development and process design.
• Define appropriate safeguarding, relief, depressurization, and emergency-
response requirements.
• Provide process engineering inputs to HAZID, HAZOP, SIL/LOPA, design reviews,
and safety studies.
• Strong knowledge of relevant API standards, particularly API 12J, 14C, 14E, 520,
521, 537, 620, 650, and 2000, is required.
Qualifications and Experience:
Education Qualification:
• Bachelor’s degree in chemical/petroleum engineering or similar
Experience:
SLB-Private
• Minimum 14 years of relevant oil and gas industry experience.
• Previous experience with EPC companies, engineering consultancies, production-
facility organizations, or technology providers.
• Experience in greenfield, brownfield, debottlenecking, and facility optimization
studies.
• Experience working with clients, licensors, vendors, and subcontractors.
• Experience working in multi-disciplinary team environment
Expertise:
• Concept development, process scheme selection, and technology evaluation
• Crude oil treatment, stabilization, and export systems
• Associated gas processing, treatment, utilization, and export
• Produced-water treatment, disposal, reuse, and reinjection
• Gas dehydration, sweetening, dew-point control, and contaminant removal
