Control & Instrument Systems Specialist

The project is located approximately 20 km east of the Gulf line and about 12 km southwest of a major existing facility. The primary objective is to provide water supply from three sources: an existing facility, a new central processing facility, and an aquifer, for the purpose of treatment and water injection. The facility will process 1,400MBCD of water to maintain maximum sustainable capability for an existing field through 2035. The scope also includes expanding water facilities to accommodate surplus produced water exceeding the current formation water system capacity up to 2035.
