The Absheron Conventional Gas & Condensates field is located offshore Azerbaijan Republic in the Caspian Sea in 500 meters depth, at about 100km southeast of Baku, 25km north-east of Shah Deniz field and 34km south of Oil Rocks production and processing facilities. The project aims at supplying natural gas for both domestic market via Sangachal main facilities (condensate) and for international export market via the South Caucasus Pipeline (SCP).
• To govern offshore interface management for SURF/SPS/ASPL, ensuring packages interface correctly across engineering offices, yards, and offshore spread, in line with IMS governance (New PRODOM).
• To control offshore battery limits and interface responsibility boundaries in alignment with the Offshore IRM, ensuring clear tie points, responsibilities, and acceptance criteria across phases (INPUT to COM).
• To define and maintain offshore interface data exchange requirements (soft interfaces) and physical tie-in definitions (hard interfaces), ensuring consistency with the Interface Basis of Design and associated design maturity status.
• To prevent change orders and delays by proactively identifying interface risks, gaps and holds, driving timely closure of interface actions and proposing mitigation/recovery plans.
• To coordinate and chair regular offshore interface meetings/workshops with package interface correspondents and contractor Interface Managers, ensuring decisions are logged, tracked and closed.
• To ensure integrated testing readiness across packages (e.g., interface testing / EFAT / SIT / SAT dependencies) by coordinating test scope, responsibilities, test evidence and punch closure between interfacing parties.
• To ensure interface documentation quality and timeliness (interface deliverables, procedures, ITR evidence, as-builts) and coordinate with Document Control for traceable records.
• To coordinate offshore interfaces impacted by subsea layout, tolerances, installation constraints and sequencing, ensuring design changes are controlled and reflected in the IMS baseline.
• To coordinate interfaces for offshore pipelines, MEG, and FOC systems (offshore portion), including the interface points with onshore/nearshore scope owners and the telecom/ICSS backbone, without duplicating the Telecom/ICSS Interface Lead role.
• To manage the EPS connection interfaces (optional), ensuring offshore dependencies are captured and coordinated, while Telecom/ICSS integration remains under Telecom/ICSS Interface Lead and topside execution remains under CPF Contractor and CPY Interface Lead; ensure a clear interface between interface leads.
• To ensure HSSE-by-design principles are embedded into offshore interface resolution (HAZID/HAZOP interface actions, SIMOPS constraints, safe tie-in planning) and escalate any integrity/HSE interface risks.
• To ensure contractors provide accurate interface progress reporting and to consolidate offshore interface KPIs/status (aging, due/overdue actions, critical interfaces, readiness gates) for Interface Manager and PMT reporting.
• To ensure that third-party impacts affecting offshore scope (e.g., crossings, external corridors, host facility constraints) are identified early, routed via COMPANY Third Party Interface Lead, and incorporated into offshore plans without direct contractor-to-third-party contact.
• To capture lessons learned and provide feedback to the Interface Manager and project teams for continuous improvement of interface governance and execution performance.
• To identify interface-driven risks (technical, schedule, execution, SIMOPS) arising from SURF/SPS/ASPL and register them in the Project Risk Register in line with COMPANY procedures.
• To coordinate definition and implementation of mitigation actions, ensuring risks are properly monitored, updated and escalated where required.
• To ensure consistency between Interface Management outputs (ITS/ITR, interface actions, testing readiness) and Risk Management tracking, avoiding gaps between interface issues and identified risks.
