What is a midstream engineer?

A Midstream Engineer is responsible for the design, construction, and operation of facilities that transport and store oil, natural gas, and other hydrocarbons. They work on pipelines, compressor stations, terminals, and processing plants to ensure the efficient and safe movement of resources. Their role involves project management, regulatory compliance, and system optimization to minimize environmental impact and operational costs.

What are the typical daily responsibilities of a midstream engineer?

Midstream Engineers are responsible for designing, overseeing, and optimizing pipeline systems and related infrastructure that transport oil, gas, or other products between production sites and processing facilities. On a typical day, they may conduct site inspections, review technical drawings, coordinate with construction crews, and ensure compliance with safety and environmental regulations. They also analyze system performance and address operational challenges, collaborating closely with upstream and downstream teams. This role requires balancing technical analysis with fieldwork and regular communication with cross-functional teams to keep projects running smoothly.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a midstream engineer?

To excel as a Midstream Engineer, you need a solid background in chemical, mechanical, or petroleum engineering, with strong knowledge of pipeline design, flow assurance, and regulatory compliance. Familiarity with software such as AutoCAD, pipeline simulation tools, and relevant safety certifications like API or ASME are often required. Strong problem-solving, project management, and communication skills help facilitate coordination across multidisciplinary teams and stakeholders. These capabilities are critical to ensure safe, efficient, and compliant transport of oil and gas resources within the midstream sector.

Job description

EQT is seeking an experienced Process Engineer - Midstream Facilities to provide process engineering expertise in support of natural gas gathering, compression, dehydration, liquids handling, and related midstream infrastructure. This position will play a key role in the design, optimization, troubleshooting, and expansion of midstream facilities, working closely with Facilities Engineering, Operations, Construction, Automation, Project Management, Commercial, and other technical teams. 

The Sr/Expert/Advisor Process Engineer - Midstream Facilities responsibilities include but are not limited to:

  • Provide process engineering support for the design, expansion, optimization, and troubleshooting of natural gas gathering, dehydration, compression, stabilization and NGL liquification facilities.
  • Develop and maintain process simulations using ProMax and HYSYS (experience with Symmetry is a plus), and other applicable engineering tools.
  • Perform heat and material balances, phase-equilibrium studies, pipeline and facility hydraulic analysis, equipment sizing, , and process optimization studies.
  • Evaluate gas compositions and operating conditions to predict hydrocarbon condensation, water dropout, hydrate formation, hydrocarbon and water dew points, and liquids production throughout the gathering system.
  • Provide technical expertise for NGL and condensate systems.
  • Design and evaluate liquids systems, including separation, storage, stabilization, pumping, vapor management, pressure control, and truck loading/unloading.
  • Support the design and optimization of natural gas compressor stations, including inlet separation, suction scrubbers, compression, interstage and discharge cooling, liquids handling, recycle systems, blowdown, and process controls.
  • Support the design and optimization of natural gas dehydration facilities, including TEG contactors, regeneration systems, flash tanks, reboilers, condensers, circulation systems, and associated emissions-control equipment.
  • Develop and review PFDs, P&IDs, equipment datasheets, and operating philosophies.
  • Specification and design of process safety over pressure protection systems (primarily sizing PSV's)
  • Size, specify, and order separators, scrubbers, vessels, heat exchangers, pumps, control valves, dehydration equipment, and other process equipment.
  • Provide technical support throughout the project lifecycle, including conceptual design, detailed engineering, equipment selection, construction, commissioning, startup, and performance testing.
  • Troubleshoot operating issues in partnership with field operations and maintenance personnel and develop practical solutions that can be implemented safely and efficiently.
  • Participate in HAZOPs, PHAs, relief-system evaluations, Management of Change (MOC), and other process-safety activities.
  • Ensure designs comply with applicable company engineering standards, operating requirements, industry codes, and regulatory requirements.

Required Experience and Skills:

  • Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
  • 6+ years of process, facilities, or project engineering experience within the natural gas midstream industry or a closely related field.
  • Strong understanding of natural gas gathering, compression, dehydration, and hydrocarbon liquids handling.
  • Demonstrated experience with NGL, condensate, and/or bulk propane handling systems.
  • Familiarity with applicable API, ASME, NFPA, and other relevant industry standards.
  • Experience with process simulation software, preferably:
    • ProMax
    • HYSYS
    • Symmetry is a plus
  • Strong troubleshooting and analytical skills.
  • Ability to work effectively across Engineering, Operations, Construction, Automation, Commercial, and Project Management organizations.

Work Location: 

  • This role will consist of in-office, remote and field work within our operating area.
