Job Description:

Description: In the recent BP reorganization, the Natural Gas Liquids Business Unit (NGL BU) merged into the North America Gas SPU, and subsequently all of the Permian assets became a part of the Southern Performance Unit. This effort has joined the largest producer, transporter, and marketer of NGL products in North America with the largest natural gas producer in the United States. The Permian assets are a significant piece of this business in and of themselves, as they generated almost 40% of the net profits for the NAG SPU in 2007. Permian production and plants have already been accustomed to working closely together, so the formal joining of the two is a very welcome endeavor that will further enhance our ability to conduct safe and reliable operations that generate tremendous cash flow for BP America. The Permian asset owns and operates 3 gas plants that directly support the 3 main production areas in West Texas, along with the gathering systems that supply each plant. This posting is primarily for the Block 31 Plant, located Northwest of Crane, Texas, which processes 80-90 mmcfd from the surrounding BP-owned and operated Block 31 field. A DGA/TEG/Mole Sieve process removes the H2S, CO2, and water before the propane refrigeration and turbo-expander cryogenic process remove the NGL's and separate methane from nitrogen. Methane and NGL's are sold, nitrogen is vented, and acid gas is re-injected for pressure maintenance of the surrounding oilfield. However, there may also be secondary responsibilities associated with the Crane Gas Plant, located east of Crane, along with its Midland Compressor Station and 100+ miles of gathering line. The Crane Plant collects, compresses, and processes 30 mmscfd of natural gas, removing acid gas and water before a cryogenic process extracts the NGL� � �¬� �� s. Residual methane is sold. This position provides an excellent opportunity to expand your knowledge of operational and engineering challenges within an operating asset. It is also an excellent development role for someone who wants to pursue an Operations Engineering Authority position or an Operations.
