Listed are scope of works as Process Engineer in Oil and Gas industry. In order to develop our career path in future, we must have those skills at fingertips and be able to deliver each task given successfully.
ENGINEERING
- Perform Conceptual Studies
- Perform FEED (Front End Engineering Design)
- Perform Detailed Process Design
- Projects include Green Field (new facilities) and Brown Field (modification to existing facilities)
- Perform flare and blowdown studies
- Perform acoustic induced vibration (AIV) studies
- Perform pipeline flow assurance studies
- Perform process calculations such as:
- Vessel sizing
- Pump sizing
- Process line sizing
- Pressure relief valve sizing
- Restriction orifice sizing
- Settle-out calculations
- Develop process and pipeline simulations
- Develop process flow diagrams (PFDS)
- Develop piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDS)
- Develop equipment and instrument data sheets
- Develop alarm and shutdown matrices
- Develop safe charts
- Develop start-up and operating manual
- Produce technical reports
PROCESS DRAFTING
- Drafting process flow diagrams (PFDS)
- Drafting piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDS)
SOFTWARE
- HYSYS for process simulation
- Pipesim with olga correlations for hydraulic study
- Fred program for radiation and dispersion studies
- Flarenet for flare hydraulic studies
DATABASE
- Latest API codes and standards
- Latest DEP/ PTS from shell/ petronas codes and standards
- Latest process design instruction manual
- Drawing database from past projects
- In-house calculation spreadsheets
- API line sizing for single phase and multiphase flow
- Pump sizing and NPSHA calculations
- Separator and scrubber sizing
- Pressure relief valve sizing
- Restriction orifice sizing
- Blowdown calculations using grote’s method
- Settle-out calculations
However, it is not an over-night process to master those skills and knowledges. Roughly estimated, at least 3 years will be the minimum period of learning and 5 years to be a Professional Engineer.
