Role Purpose
Lead and manage all Instrumentation & Control (I&C) engineering activities for the IA/PA Upgrade Project.
Ensure full compliance with ADNOC Offshore standards, seamless integration of new compressor-package control systems with existing DCS/ESD/F&G/PMS/ECMS, and coordination across Process, Electrical, and Mechanical disciplines through the Engineering Subcontractor and OEMs
Key Responsibilities (Project Specific)
Instrumentation & Control Design
- Review FEED and EPC deliverables (P&IDs, C&E matrices, instrument index, loop diagrams, hook-ups).
- Finalize instrument sizing, specifications, and installation details as per ADNOC standards.
- Develop and validate control narratives and logic for IA/PA compressor operation and inter-platform coordination.
- Review layout drawings for instrument location and accessibility on existing decks.
Control System Integration (IA/PA Network)
- Integrate compressor UCP panels (e.g., Atlas Copco) with existing ADNOC systems:
- ABB DCS (800xA)
- Rockwell ESD
- GE Fanuc / Emerson F&G
- PMS / ECMS
- Define signal mapping and communication protocols (Modbus RTU/TCP, Ethernet).
- Validate duty/standby logic and automatic start/stop sequences across platforms.
- Ensure reliable operation without disturbance to other platform control networks.
Coordination with Engineering Subcontractor
- Lead discipline reviews and approve I&C deliverables.
- Provide technical guidance on ADNOC standards and SOW requirements.
- Ensure timely submission of deliverables.
- Monitor and close TQs/RFIs and action items from design reviews.
Vendor / OEM Interface (High Priority)
- Liaise with OEMs and vendors for compressor, dryer, and control systems.
- Review vendor datasheets, I/O lists, control logic, and alarm philosophy.
- Participate in FAT/IFAT/SAT and verify signal testing and interlocks.
- Coordinate integration between vendor UCPs and ADNOC Offshore automation systems.
Process Safety & Functional Integrity
- Participate in HAZOP, HAZID, SIL, and PHSER workshops.
- Implement process safety instrumented functions (SIF) and verify SIL levels.
- Confirm alarm priorities, trip settings, and shutdown logic align with Operations.
Brownfield / Construction Support
- Review instrument installation details for tie-ins to live systems.
- Prepare and review method statements for instrument replacement and cabling works.
- Support loop checking, function tests, and C&E testing during commissioning.
- Ensure compliance with ADNOC PTW and SIMOPS procedures.
Interface & Documentation Management
- Maintain instrument interface registers and system interconnection diagrams.
- Coordinate with Process, Electrical, and Mechanical disciplines for consistent signal and tie-in data.
- Ensure smooth handover of as-built I&C documents and asset register updates.
Key Deliverables
- Updated instrument index and datasheets
- Control logic diagrams and C&E matrices
- Vendor package integration reports
- FAT/SAT and loop-check records
- As-built instrumentation drawings and signal lists
- Interface and tie-in registers
