• Takes three-hourly log readings, or as frequent as directed by the Plant Supervisor, from the local indicators mounted on equipment in the Plant area and enters in the log sheets.  Feeds back to Control Room Operator any apparent deviations from the specified standards to take corrective adjustments.

• To dilute DEA solutions and to make up the losses due to evaporation.  Duties include the preparation of the DEA solution for the process to absorb H2S.  Monitors the subsequent separation of DEA from H2S in preparation of the latter's flaring.  Loads fresh DEA drums to storage vessel.  Monitors chemical dosing of potable water makers.

• Monitors and controls the operation of the flare stack to burn off H2S gas and any excess gas released in the process or production separators. Duties includes igniting the flare after a shut-down or blow-off.  Ensures that the flare system is operating properly in accordance with all safety regulations.

• Execution of start-up and shut-down of Plants.  Adjusts and monitors temperature, pressure, flow rates in the process ensuring that these are within the normal conditions.

         

When assigned to Utilities:

 

• Controls the operation of the steam boiler, as instructed.  Duties include preparation of chemicals, adjusting chemical rates, monitoring steam temperature, pressure, flow and boiler level, fuel and flame etc.  Reports anomalies to the Supervisor and ensures continuous generation of steam for the process heat tracing and steaming out of equipment during shut-downs.

• Start/stop checks and monitors the Complex's power generation plants comprising two turbo generators, two diesel engine driven emergency generators and associated ancillary equipment.

• Carries out monthly load test of emergency generators, in conjunction with the Electrical Group, and weekly routine tests of stand-by generator to ensure proper working condition.

• Start/stop checks and monitors the turbo driven injection pumps.

• Checks/monitors and carries out routine test run of the Complex's fire water pumps, two diesel engine driven and two electrical driven pumps, and ensures they work properly.

• Takes three-hourly log readings of all the above equipment and machinery from gauges and instruments mounted on the Plant.  Takes corrective action and feeds back to Plant Supervisor.

 

When assigned to Water Injection Operation (WIP):

 

• Operates WIP to produce water for injection into injection wells in accordance with established specifications.  Includes implementing start-up and shut-down procedures, adjusting valves to govern flow, maintaining pressure, setting temperature controls.  Monitors running condition of pumps and checks a variety of dials and gauges in the Control Room or mounted on equipment.

• Monitors and controls the operation of coarse filtering unit by manually starting-up and shutting-down units to ensure specified water quality.  Includes monitoring and reading analyses, adjusting any deviation in operation parameters (pressure, temperature, flow rate) and report anomalies to the Supervisor.

• Monitors automatic controls of the operation of fine filtering (treating) unit to ensure specified water quality.  Includes checking and adjusting pressure, temperature, flow rate, etc.  Watches closely the back wash process and control flow rate and other operating parameters accordingly.

• Controls water de-oxygenation process designed for reducing oxygen contents in injection water to prevent corrosion of subsea lines and bacteria gathering in order to keep reservoirs in a clean conditions.  Includes monitoring water level in the de-oxygenation tower to control flow rate from DCS control panel, checking and adjusting chemical dosing rate, reporting shortages in chemicals to the Supervisor and arranging toping of such tanks, monitoring vacuum pumps designed to remove air from the tower and adjusts as warranted.

 

General Functions:
