Activities

  • To govern CPF/BVS on-plot Interface Management and ensure cross-package integration at all onshore battery limits in line with the project IMS governance (New PRODOM).

  • To maintain permanent control of CPF/BVS battery limits by defining tie points, scope demarcation/termination responsibilities and acceptance criteria for each boundary (CV/IP/EL/TE), including associated control/ICSS & telecom integration requirements, testing/commissioning evidence and as-built documentation.

  • To coordinate CPF/BVS corridor interfaces on the CPF/BVS sides (valves/spools/FOJB/electrical terminations/earthing) and ensure clash-free execution at tie-in points.

  • To ensure CPF-side readiness of export tie-ins and utilities interfaces (SCP, DGN/SBQ, BP, Azersu, AzerEnerji) by controlling CPF battery limit deliverables, documentation and handover packs.

  • To manage the interface with the Onshore Pipelines corridor execution (ONS scope under EPSCC) for all off-plot connections to CPF/BVS, ensuring field changes are controlled and reflected in as-built interface data.

  • To ensure that all interface requirements are embedded into contractor deliverables (tie-in lists, layout/interface drawings, test packs) and remain consistent with Exhibit A / Attachment A2 and IRM/IBoD principles. 

  • To ensure controlled management of CPF-related Company Provided Items (CPIs/LLIs) impacting interfaces, including receipt readiness, preservation constraints and interface handover traceability as applicable.

  • To coordinate with Telecom/ICSS integration stakeholders (CPF CCR/TER/CTR, BVS instrument room, EPS/BWN) to ensure CPF-side architecture readiness, cybersecurity constraints and interface testing prerequisites.

  • To manage interface actions and decisions through New PRODOM workflows, ensuring traceability, timely closure and documented approvals for changes affecting CPF battery limits.

  • To chair regular CPF interface meetings/workshops with Contractor SPOCs and Company discipline leads, maintaining a decision log and preventing rework across disciplines.

  • To integrate HSE/SIMOPS constraints into CPF tie-in planning (access, simultaneous works, live plant constraints where applicable) and ensure safe tie-in execution readiness.

  • To identify interface-driven risks and opportunities affecting CPF/BVS execution and propose mitigations through early clarification, boundary reinforcement and documented decisions.

  • To prepare concise weekly highlights and contribute to monthly interface reporting (open actions, boundary changes, critical interface risks, readiness status) for the Projects Interface Manager and PMT.

  • To ensure final interface close-out at CPF/BVS boundaries by validating completeness of test records, as-builts, redlines and handover dossiers required for commissioning/start-up.

  • 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.
