Purpose of Job
BSP has a large portfolio of projects distributed over 4 main Assets, both green field as well as many brown field and rejuvenation projects. In 2006 it was decided to set up a separate organisation for the execution of all Major projects in BSP to improve project delivery. The largest and one of the most challenging Major projects is the Champion Waterflood project. This project is well progressing through the Select phase and needs a dedicated Senior Planner. The project covers the design, fabrication and installation of a multitude of platforms and related pipelines, power cables and umbilicals as well as upgrade and extension of many existing facilities. Projects in BSP are typically executed under BSP management i.e. all design, fabrication, procurement and installation works were done in house or under BSP direct supervision and therefore a very hands on approach is required. Fabrication is executed under a frame agreement in BSP’s own fabrication yard in Kuala Belait.
The nature of the project (heavy brownfield bias early in the project) is such that meticulous project planning is required to minimise disruption of ongoing operations.
The project Senior Planner develops, maintains, updates and improves the Integrated Project Plan showing key & relevant activities in levels of details as required. Coordinate and incorporate individual approved project plan data, maintain alignment & high level log of changes, assumptions and KPIs. Provide necessary planning direction and support to contractor planners.
Dimensions
The Champion Field is the largest field in the East Asset Unit and one of the largest in BSP. It is a geologically complex field containing some 30 fault blocks and more than 500 reservoirs and has been producing since the early ‘70s. Though with a long production history and the first water injection scheme implemented in the mid ‘80s, recovery from the field has remained less than 30%. The implementation of water injection in Block 13/14 and the de-bottlenecking of the existing WI plant over the last 2 years aimed at providing an injection capacity of 20,000 m3/d marked the start of a commitment to pursue secondary recovery in the Champion Field. Over the next 5 years, it is planned to significantly expand the field development study efforts in Champion so that recovery can be maximised and the development plan optimised and in full synergy with the different areas of the field as well as other fields within the asset unit. This project will be one of the most important projects in BSP’s forthcoming business plan and is of significant strategic importance to both shareholders (Shell and Brunei government) from the perspective of achieving the aspired Reserves Replacement as well as sustaining BSP’s production.
The Facilities project value is in excess of 1 Billion BND.
