Overview

Completions engineers are part of the wells discipline and bp’s Global Wells Organization (GWO). GWO is an Upstream operating function whose goal is to deliver safe, compliant, and reliable wells.

Completions engineers are responsible for ensuring that the well is installed with the correct equipment so that the productivity and longevity of the well is maximized. Work in this area involves recommending the type of completion concept that should be used to maximize recovery of oil and/or gas, recommending completion optimization techniques in existing fields, and writing programs to ensure appropriate completion installations are deployed safely and to bp and regulatory standards.

Some of the operations completions engineers are involved with include completion installation, well testing, and increasing well productivity through stimulation techniques. As part of an expert team, a completions engineer designs, plans, and supports rig operations, providing a key link between drilling, reservoir engineering, and petroleum engineering teams. This discipline requires knowledge of metallurgy, materials, chemical engineering, and physics. 

Your role and responsibilities

As part of this role you are required to work in a diverse, multi-disciplined team that involves geologists, reservoir engineers, drilling engineers, equipment service company representatives, and production operations teams to ensure that the well plan satisfies all company objectives.

Overview

Control and automation engineering enables a relatively small number of operators to have full control of complex manufacturing plants, which include our chemical and biofuels plants, oil refineries and oil and gas production facilities. It’s the Control & Automation Engineer’s job to optimize production and enhance safety by making improvements to process control, as well as designing and maintaining the integrated control and safety systems (ICSS) that house these controls. 

It can also lead to a career in Operations Critical Telecommunications (OCT). These are the highly reliable and resilient communication systems required for day-to-day safe operation and incident management on bp assets around the world. Whether it covers navigation, hazard monitoring, or communicating and transferring information within our organization, these systems must be continuously available, even during incidents, while the process plant is being made safe.

The work can also encompass subsea control systems for our subsea facilities used in both shallow and deep water offshore installations.

Your role and responsibilities

Control and automation engineers or OCT engineers contribute to the safe and efficient running of complex manufacturing systems and the design and build process plant control systems —which means incredible variety. One day they could be in London, working out the best way to control a biofuels reactor; the next, working on installing an advanced control system (a kind of autopilot) for an oil platform in the Caspian Sea.

Overview

The Instrument and Protective Systems (I&PS) Engineering and Measurement Engineering sub-disciplines are related, because they both involve sensor technology as a foundation.

Instruments and Protective Systems consists of three primary specialist areas including field instrumentation, safety instrumented systems (SIS), and fire and gas systems. It also includes the infrastructure (wiring, tubing, junction boxes, etc) which are used for communicating with these systems.

Field instrumentation is used to measure process parameters (such as pressure, temperature, flow, level, etc). It is also used to control through the use of final elements (e.g. using an automated valve to control flow or a variable speed drive on a pump). Instrumentation is critical in allowing process conditions to be monitored, while final elements are used to control within the prescribed facility operating envelope.

A Safety Instrumented System is a separate layer of protection, which acts independently of the other instrumentation and final elements for the purpose of taking the plant to a safe state if predetermined operating conditions are exceeded. SIS must be designed to stringent international standards which govern how they are to be identified, engineered, installed, operated and tested.

Finally, fire and gas systems monitor for unexpected releases, and act to isolate the process and prevent escalation to a fire or explosion.

Measurement Engineering consists of an engineered set of hardware and software controls that are focused on the measurement of the quantity and quality of hydrocarbon production. bp’s measurement and metering engineers measure process variables, including pressure, temperature, flow, level and composition, and perform higher level tasks such as calculating flow measurement data for commercial and regulatory use.

In many cases, these measurement systems are the basis for meeting international standards, environmental and in-country revenue and taxation regulations. They provide process and production data for control, optimization and allocation of production revenue, and it’s true to say that energy supplies of whole countries often depend on these systems. In fact, these systems are tied directly to our licence to operate. That’s why bp’s Measurement engineers are committed to delivering excellence without compromising safety.

I&PS and Measurement technologies are rapidly changing as new sensor technologies, processor capability and software development result in more accurate, reliable, and faster devices. I&PS and Measurement engineers are always working to use the latest technologies to solve operational and reliability challenges in environments that range from harsh North Sea conditions to hot Saharan desert, to kilometres below the Gulf of Mexico Keeping pace with technology developments and changes is challenging and very exciting.

Overview

The energy industry faces a wide range of challenges — Process and Process Safety Engineers advise in the selection, development and layout of oil and gas process plant equipment. Using sophisticated software modelling tools, Process Engineers assist the operations staff to analyse, troubleshoot, and optimise production throughput. In addition, they recognize and minimize safety hazards as well as being involved in – and ultimately leading – multi-disciplined HAZOP teams to achieve safe levels of process design.

Process Safety Engineering combines the practice of science and engineering to analyse and manage hazards in the hydrocarbon industry. It deals with the prevention and control of incidents — whether at design stage for new production plants or on established projects through continuous risk reduction improvements. The team manages the integrity of all operating systems and processes by applying good design principles, and sound engineering and operating practices.

Your role and responsibilities

Process and Process Safety Engineering is bp’s single largest professional discipline. They are involved in the design and optimal operation of oil and gas production facilities, oil refineries, and petrochemical plants, developing new technologies, for example producing transport fuels and chemicals from unconventional resources, such as natural gas and biomass through to meeting regulators’ expectations, assessing major accident hazard risks and coaching the organization on process safety issues.

It’s a programme full of variety — one day they might be on site talking with technicians about safety critical equipment one day, and the next, modelling consequences of fires and explosions to optimize active and passive fire protection.
