Senior Facility Engineer

Senior Facilities Engineer- C02 Enhanced Oil Recovery 
The primary focus will be “uptime” – keeping CO2 production & injection on from the production well choke to the LACT Unit, including:

• Water disposal/injection
• Production separation
• Facility heat media
• Well testing
• Tankage/vapor recovery
• Gas/oil sales
• CO2 recycle/gas lift compression

This includes CO2 floods, water floods, and conventional production on all Assets.

Position Responsibilities:

• Direct reporting to the Business Unit (BU): A Senior Facility Engineer (FE) will be assigned to each BU for planning, scoping, estimating, and executing various projects being assigned by the BU.
• Execution of Projects: The primary focus is for the FE to provide/manage engineering services to the BU. Most work (in the Construction Phase) will be executed by the Project Management Department (PM) or Operations with oversight on design and installation by the FE.
• Manage Capital/LOE project spend and budget as it relates to surface facility work.
• Working within the team structure including PE, RM, PM, and Operations to optimize the CO2 and Conventional surface oil, gas, and water production facility performance. This includes developing/implementing engineered solutions for issues that may be limiting production, productivity, efficiency, and general operability of the asset.
• Troubleshooting CO2 oil field production systems and equipment; monitoring pressures, temperatures, and rates throughout the system; reviewing current operating conditions versus design and set points; trend & analyze performance, uptime, downtime, and reliability; and develop/implement solutions to optimize field activities and ensure mechanical integrity of equipment is achieved and maintained.
• Act as Technical POC (point of contact) for Maintenance and Construction Staff in managing the day-to-day operations and execution of all project activities.
• Participate in Design Reviews led by the PM (PFD review, P&ID reviews, Model Reviews, etc.).
• Work with operations and PM teams to develop commissioning, start-up, and operating procedures and coordinate commissioning, and start-up activities to safely commission, start-up, and operate CO2 and Conventional Facilities.
• Coordinating with the regulatory department to ensure the optimization work and projects have the necessary permits and performance standards as required by local, state, and federal agencies.
• Support the utilization, development, and implementation of standards, processes, and procedures – MOC, Project Execution, Mechanical Integrity/Reliability, Engineering & Construction Standards & Recommended Practices, etc.

Desirable Qualifications:

• Experience in all phases of projects including development, estimating, project management, engineering, and construction of CO2 and Conventional Oil and Gas facilities.
• Exceptional team and interpersonal skills with the ability and desire to work within a multidisciplinary team.
• Ability to prioritize work and focus efforts to deliver value.
• Independent, self-motivated, organized, creative, and results-oriented.
• Strong communication and presentation skills with the ability to clearly convey practical concepts and relevant information to all levels of personnel, including executive management.

Industry Requirements:

• Minimum of 10+ years Facility Engineering experience.
• Experience with CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery required.
• Must be able to speak, read, and write English fluently.
• Strong business acumen and demonstrated understanding of project economics.
• Working knowledge of ANSI/ASME, DOT, and API codes as related to the oil & gas industry.
• Experience with and understanding Process Flow Diagrams (PFD’s), Piping & Instrument Diagrams (P&ID’s), Plot Plans, Plan and Section Drawings, and ISO’s.
• Experience with Wiring Diagrams, Area Classification, and Electrical On-line Drawings.
• Experience with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Hydraulic Modeling Software (HYSYS, PipeSim, GAP) strongly preferred.

Education Requirements:

• Minimum B.S. in Mechanical Engineering.

Physical Demands: Work will primarily be conducted in an office environment; travel will be required to district and field offices and CO2/Conventional oil and gas production facilities, with the occasional need to wear personal protective equipment. Position requires the ability to frequently communicate information and to manage the possible stress of an office environment. Work may include being stationary for long periods of time, with occasional movement about the office. Ability to lift up to 35 pounds is required. Position requires constant operation and viewing of a computer screen and other office machinery.

• Travel to Field
• Sitting for long periods of time
• Frequent alpha/numeric keyboarding
• Oral communication over the phone and in person
• Ability to view computer monitor
• Ability to wear personal protection equipment when visiting field locations
