Our Core Discipline Engineers provide day to day Engineering support and innovation to guarantee reliability and safety on our sites in turn supporting the completion of our projects. Maintenance is essential to our operational success whilst ensuring compliance with company standards and HSE legislation.
The key tasks of the core disciplines, Electrical, Instrumentation & Controls, Mechanical and Process can be found below:
Our Electrical Engineers are responsible for the assurance of electrical generation and distribution systems up to 11kV, including its safe and reliable operation across all of our assets both onshore and offshore. They provide day-to-day electrical support to all Perenco operational activities and have a responsibility to ensure compliance with company electrical performance standards and HSE legislation. They ensure technical integrity, reliability, availability and maintainability of electrical distribution systems are optimised so that production targets can be met.
Instrument Engineers are responsible for the design and assurance of Instrumentation and or Control Systems and its safe and reliable operation to our offshore and onshore sites ensuring technical integrity. They are required to work with process instrumentation such as Pressure, Temperature, Level and Flow as well as Fire and Gas detection systems. They are often required to participate in safety studies such as HAZOPs and LOPA’s, working on Safety Instrumented Function design, collaborating with Process and Functional Safety teams.
Mechanical Engineers are responsible for providing discipline-specific support to help achieve the objectives of securing the reliability, availability, and operability of a wide range of mechanical equipment. They offer engineered technical solutions to problems and system improvements, working within the regulatory framework and appropriate engineering standards. An engineer in this role is expected to keep all mechanical equipment operable as required, in optimal condition and understand how this is achieved in a highly regulated industry.
Process engineers are an integral part of operations supporting everything from day-to-day operations to new field developments all the way through to decommissioning. They are responsible for design, building and commissioning of new process modules, production optimisation, safety reviews and on-site assurance.
Our Geosciences department maintain successful exploration of wells and operations, they integrate and interpret geophysical data with geological information to create accurate subsurface maps, models and cross-sections for thorough prospect and asset evaluation.
A Petroleum Engineer will be involved in every aspect of our business. Their core competency is to perform field and well review and to propose production enhancement opportunities. They work with internal/external parties and design innovative solutions to production and well related problems.
Our Integrity Department support and manage integrity assurance and engineering assessment with regards to asset integrity and regulatory compliance, this tends to range across structures, pressure systems, materials and corrosion.
Structural Engineers will have a solid understanding of structural engineering principles and mechanics coupled with Computing and Numerical Competency i.e. stability, load paths, disproportionate collapse etc, with an understanding of how to implement into the Design of Steel and Concrete Structures. Structural Engineers will have a knowledge of material behaviour to identify anomalies and necessary damage mechanisms, carrying out Risk Assessments and Hazard Identification to ensure asset integrity.
