HD-814] Process Engineer
- Neuquén
- Permanente
- Tiempo completo
This role will serve as the main engineering point of contact for surface facilities within their assigned field area, with a focus on maximizing production, minimizing downtime, and achieving Goal Zero HSE performance.
Accountabilities:
For the area of the field to which they are assigned, the Process Engineer is responsible for:
Surveillance:
Maintaining awareness of the state of the surface facilities through instrument data (e.g., PI trends), relationships with field operators, and direct observation in the field.
Maintaining awareness of the field business context, with emphasis on surface-related costs and value drivers.
Troubleshooting:
Understanding the root causes of equipment and system failures.
Actively participating in the MTO (Manage Threats and Opportunities) process.
Proposing and justifying solutions for failures, then developing the MoC (Management of Change) and overseeing execution of those solutions (typically by Brownfield team).
Optimization:
Collaborating with production engineering to optimize the full value chain from reservoir to sales point.
Understanding system limits and current performance in relation to those limits.
Supporting the WRFM production system optimization process through leading facility reviews and supporting well reviews.
Proposing and justifying projects to safely increase value through increased production or reduced costs, then developing the MoC and overseeing execution of those solutions.
Process Safety:
Ensuring rigorous adherence to the MoC process.
Owning critical documents (primarily P&IDs; and Cause-and-Effect matrix).
Supporting HSE incident investigations as required.
Supporting new and revalidation of existing Process Hazard Analyses such as HAZOPs.
In all areas, applying Continuous Improvement / Lean practices to systematically reduce cost, increase production, and improve safety.
This includes documenting, sharing, and adopting lessons learned and best practices inside and outside Shell.
Dimensions
The asset currently consists of two central processing facilities in SOV South and a central processing facility under construction in Bajada de Añelo.
Additionally, there are approximately 130 wells in production and the associated gathering pipeline network, export oil and gas pipelines, and water disposal wells.
Regular (minimum 1 or 2 days/week) presence in the field.
Interaction with all levels of the organization, including operators, field leadership, asset leadership, development teams, engineering TAs, and project delivery staff.
No direct reports.
Requirements
5+ years of experience as a Professional Engineer with a degree in Chemical Engineering.
Knowledge in Process Engineering required.
Experience as Process/Facilities engineer in plant/field is highly desirable.
Native Spanish speaker with good proficiency in English.
Knowledge in separation technology, liquids recovery, stabilization, and gas treatment.
Experience with process engineering design tools such as UniSim, Pipesim.
Understanding of Asset Integrity – Process Safety Management concepts and processes at an awareness level.
Familiarity with Shell and Industry Facilities design standards and codes, including DEPs, PRS, and API codes.
Knowledge of Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) techniques and methods, preferably including Causal Learning.
Ability to work across multi-disciplinary teams including operations, leadership, finance, engineering, and regulatory sectors.
Competency in Managing Threats & Opportunities (MTO), Production System Optimization (PSO), Wells, Reservoir, and Facility Management (WRFM), and Alarm Management processes at an awareness level.
Change Management skills, including knowledge of the MOC process.
Ability to exercise independent judgment and initiative.
Knowledge of mechanical aspects of heat transfer, rotating equipment, instrumentation systems, piping design, and their impact on process design requirements.
