Job Description

Job Profile SummaryThe Greater Tortue Ahmeyim gas field is estimated to contain around 15 trillion cubic feet of gasenough to support production for 30 years or more. It will be the deepest development to date in Africa, with the subsea system located in ultra-deepwaterat a depth of around 2850m.The Greater Tortue Ahmeyim project will produce gas from an ultra-deepwater subsea system and mid-water floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel, which will process the gas, removing heavier hydrocarbon components. The gas will then be transferredto a floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facility at an innovative nearshore hub located on the Mauritania and Senegal maritime border.The FLNG facility is designed to provide circa 2.5 million tonnes of LNG per annum on average, with the total gas resources in the field estimated to be around 15 trillion cubic feet. The project, the first major gas project to reach FID in the basin, isplanned to provide LNG for global export as well as making gas available for domestic use in both Mauritania and Senegal.Reporting to the Tortue Start-Up Manager, the FPSO Start-up Engineer has a key role in delivery of the Start-up strategies and planning for one of the largest projects in BPs portfolio.The role is initially based, for a short period, in the ICBT Sunbury Office where Start-up development and readiness activities will be completed.
