Specialist, Value Chain Optimization (IGPA Department)

JOB PURPOSE

Identify, evaluate and quantify optimisation opportunities across the ADNOC Gas value chain to maximise portfolio value, throughput, flexibility and capital efficiency. Conduct portfolio-level system analysis and value chain assessments and translate the results into prioritised, decision-ready recommendations that avoid or defer unnecessary capital expenditure and unlock incremental value.

KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES

Conduct portfolio-level value chain assessments across gas and NGL systems u2013 trains, pipelines, compression, processing and evacuation infrastructure.
u2022 Perform integrated system analysis to identify bottlenecks, spare capacity, flexibility and points of value leakage.
u2022 Screen proposed capital projects to test whether existing infrastructure can meet the requirement, thereby avoiding, deferring or reducing CAPEX.

Quantify the value of optimisation, debottlenecking and asset stretch opportunities u2013 incremental production, revenue and capital avoided.

u2022 Prepare high-level economic evaluations (CAPEX, NPV, IRR, sensitivities) to support prioritisation.

u2022 Maintain the pipeline of identified optimisation and growth opportunities with status, value, maturity and next steps.

u2022 Ensure alignment with ADNOC Upstream, DM&T and other Group entities to capture cross-entity synergies.

u2022 Track realisation of value from implemented initiatives and conduct lookback reviews.

Holding the line between portfolio-level analysis and detailed engineering u2013 credible enough to challenge assumptions, disciplined enough not to cross into Engineeringu2019s scope.
u2022 Making the case against a proposed capital project when a sponsoring function wants it built.
u2022 Quantifying benefits robustly enough to survive Investment Committee and value assurance scrutiny.
u2022 Securing technical validation and data from Engineering and Operations without direct authority.
u2022 Proving value early in a newly formed department.

u2022Provide live, credible optimisation opportunity pipeline that leadership acts on.
u2022 Provide Recommendations that Engineering accepts as technically sound and Finance accepts as economically robust.
u2022 Esnure Value realisation is tracked and evidenced after implementation, not just claimed at proposal stage.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

Bachelors degree in Engineering wiht Around 8 years of relevant experience, including at least 5 in process or systems optimisation, asset optimisation, value chain planning or technical economics in oil and gas, LNG or petrochemicals. Individual contributor role.

SYSTEM & VALUE CHAIN OPTIMIZATION u2013 demonstrated identification and quantification of debottlenecking, capacity unlock or CAPEX avoidance opportunities, with value verified after the fact.
GAS PROCESSING & SYSTEM DEPTH u2013 strong understanding of gas processing, NGL fractionation, compression, pipeline hydraulics and LNG systems at portfolio and system level.
ECONOMIC EVALUATION u2013 CAPEX, NPV, IRR and sensitivity analysis applied to optimisation and capital screening decisions.
OPTIMISATION & SIMULATION FLUENCY u2013 working command of optimisation and simulation concepts and tools, sufficient to direct and challenge detailed studies.
TECHNICAL-TO-COMMERCIAL TRANSLATION u2013 proven ability to convert technical analysis into commercial recommendations for senior decision-makers excellent written and spoken English.
