Job Specific Accountabilities
 Provides expert advice on proper handling of downhole corrosion problem in downhole completion string, casing and surface conductor, wellhead, and x-mass tree valves in terms of corrosion prediction, monitoring, control and prevention.
 Provides expert advice in the identification of corrosion problems, monitoring & investigations through produced water analysis, corrosion coupons & calliper logs and subsequently in the designing & preparation of programs for remedial / control / prevention treatments (chemical and/or mechanical).
 Review, interpret and analyse data acquired from corrosion logging, calliper surveys and downhole corrosion coupons to assure data quality and achieve job objectives.
 Research new / modified technologies available in the market for handling sub-surface corrosion issues of a well through interaction and liaison with various forums, evaluates their feasibility for utilization in ADNOC Offshore
environment.

JOB DESCRIPTION
 Provides expert advice on ‘Scope of Work’ for chemical selection testing criteria, i.e. efficiency testing, compatibility testing and core-flood experiments to identify best chemicals for downhole applications.
 Stewards monitoring and analysis of field trials for selected chemicals through strict evaluation criterion and recommends best chemicals for long term downhole applications.
 Stewards all implementation programs and operations to ensure that they are being carried out in accordance with Corrosion Management System standards and practices through carrying out auditing compliance.
 Performs flow calculations for downhole tubular using commercial software (ex. ECE, OLGA) to predict pressure, temperature, fluid velocity, flow regime and wall shear etc.… to support corrosion prediction.
 Knowledge in material selection for oil and gas field application, specially related to downhole.
