Job Description
The Company:
My Client is a Major Operator.
The Role:
The main job duties of Corrosion and Materials Engineer are:
Provide guidance on materials and corrosion control to departments to ensure integrity of equipment. Activities include, but are not limited to: material selection, coating selection, corrosion inhibitor chemical
selection, corrosion monitoring, and material testing.
Provide input into the updating of specifications and procedures to ensure that they incorporate the most recent guidance and best practices, and that they comply with applicable regulatory technical
regulations, in the subjects of material selection and corrosion control.
Perform corrosion and erosion modelling studies using a range of established tools.
Develop and maintain the accuracy of corrosion management strategies for KPO production and processing facilities through periodic review and revision.
Develop and guide implementation of corrosion monitoring programmes to identify corrosion threats that may affect the integrity of facilities and pipelines. Activities include, but are not limited to: selection of
monitoring techniques, establishing data collection procedures, establishing guidelines for analysis of data, and establishing the type and frequency of reports.
Ensure that:
Corrosion monitoring data is obtained in accordance with the established plan;
Corrosion monitoring databases are continually updated;
Quality and accuracy of corrosion monitoring databases are maintained;
Data is analysed correctly;
Reporting of results is performed in a timely and effective manner;
Evaluate the risk of all identified corrosion threats, and make recommendations for solutions to resolve them so that risk to mechanical integrity is maintained As Low As Reasonably Practical.
Evaluate the efficiency of corrosion inhibitors and develop recommendations on the application of corrosion inhibitors in facilities and pipelines. Develop corrosion inhibitor laboratory and field evaluation plans to determine performance and compatibility with other chemicals.
Contribute to the development of Risk-Based Inspection programmes. This includes, but is not limited to:
preparation of equipment inspection plans, assessment of corrosion risks to equipment, and the development and updating of Integrity Management Manuals for all equipment items where corrosion is a factor in their deterioration.
Participate on Root Cause Analysis of failures.
Evaluate facilities integrity and calculate their remaining life based upon prediction models.
Contribute to the development and execution of the annual Capital Budget by identifying capital expenditure requirements for supporting corrosion monitoring activities, preparing related AFEs and Purchase Requistions, and reporting on cost control information.
Contribute to the development of the annual Operating Expense Budget by forecasting expenditures for laboratory work, technical specialist consulting, and other costs.
Coordinate metallographic analysis, chemical analysis of corrosion products, and electrochemical corrosion tests performed by KPO Laboratory and third party laboratories.
Develop and maintain strong technical relationships with Kazakh institutes that are dedicated to metallographic analysis and corrosion management.
Maintain awareness of developments within the oil and gas industry related to materials and corrosion, and promote the implementation of these new developments at KPO. This may require participation on national and/or international technical committees, reading technical publications, and communicating with parent company technical experts.
Provide leadership in KPO corrosion management (for example, KPO Chemical and Corrosion Management Team) to ensure that lessons learnt from field activities are communicated to relevant parties.
Provide training for KPO personnel on subjects related to corrosion mechanisms, corrosion monitoring, corrosion control, and materials engineering.
Prepare annual corrosion status and facility integrity status reports for submission to WKO Department of Emergency Situations.
Essential Skills / Qualifications:
Corrosion and Materials Engineer I: higher education (technical) in Corrosion Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Metallurgical Science or Materials Science and not less than 2 years of work experience as Corrosion and Materials Engineer II.
Corrosion and Materials Engineer II: higher education (technical) in Corrosion
Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Metallurgical Science or Materials Science and not less than 2 years of work experience as Corrosion and Materials Engineer III or other positions held by specialists with higher education (technical);
Corrosion and Materials Engineer III: higher education (technical) in Corrosion Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Metallurgical Science or Materials Science without any work experience requirements or secondary professional education (technical) and not less than 2 years of work experience as Technician I or not less than 5 years of work experience in other positions held by specialists with secondary professional education (tech
Desirable Skills / Qualifications:
Practical knowledge of sour oil and gas production facilities.
Materials selection for sour oilfield environments.
Good understanding of process engineering.
RoK Technical Regulations applicable to oil and gas industry.
International Codes and Standards applicable to design, construction.
inspection, and repair within the oil and gas industry (e.g. API, ASME, ASTM, NACE, ISO, EN, etc).
Material properties and their application in highly sour oilfield environment.
Corrosion monitoring methods and corrosion control solutions commonly
used in the oil and gas industry.
Materials selection for sour production systems.
Corrosion modeling, testing, and prediction methods used to facilitate or validate materials selection.
Corrosion Risk Assessment methodologies and tools both qualitative and quantitative.
Conversant in industry standard practices for use, testing, and specification of oil field corrosion inhibition chemicals.
