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 – trains, pipelines, compression, processing and evacuation infrastructure. • Perform integrated system analysis to identify bottlenecks, spare capacity, flexibility and points of value leakage. • 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 – incremental production, revenue and capital avoided. • Prepare high-level economic evaluations (CAPEX, NPV, IRR, sensitivities) to support prioritisation. • Maintain the pipeline of identified optimisation and growth opportunities with status, value, maturity and next steps. • Ensure alignment with ADNOC Upstream, DM&T and other Group entities to capture cross-entity synergies. • Track realisation of value from implemented initiatives and conduct lookback reviews. Holding the line between portfolio-level analysis and detailed engineering – credible enough to challenge assumptions, disciplined enough not to cross into Engineering’s scope. • Making the case against a proposed capital project when a sponsoring function wants it built. • Quantifying benefits robustly enough to survive Investment Committee and value assurance scrutiny. • Securing technical validation and data from Engineering and Operations without direct authority. • Proving value early in a newly formed department. •Provide live, credible optimisation opportunity pipeline that leadership acts on. • Provide Recommendations that Engineering accepts as technically sound and Finance accepts as economically robust. • 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 – demonstrated identification and quantification of debottlenecking, capacity unlock or CAPEX avoidance opportunities, with value verified after the fact. GAS PROCESSING & SYSTEM DEPTH – strong understanding of gas processing, NGL fractionation, compression, pipeline hydraulics and LNG systems at portfolio and system level. ECONOMIC EVALUATION – CAPEX, NPV, IRR and sensitivity analysis applied to optimisation and capital screening decisions. OPTIMISATION & SIMULATION FLUENCY – working command of optimisation and simulation concepts and tools, sufficient to direct and challenge detailed studies. TECHNICAL-TO-COMMERCIAL TRANSLATION – proven ability to convert technical analysis into commercial recommendations for senior decision-makers; excellent written and spoken English.
