SUMMARY OF EXPERIENCE

I am an instrument & Control engineer with over 24 years of experience in the Oil & Gas ( Upstream and downstream ) industries in design, construction, commissioning and project engineering working with Multi National companies operating all over the world.

From 2001 to 2011, I work with MNC Operator Shell International Upstream Asia based in Malaysia as Senior Instrument & Control engineer. The first project was the E11 and Bintulu Stabilisation plant rejuvenation projects. The objective of the project was to ensure continued security of gas supply to MLNG till 2020, through the provision of a reliable and efficient gas and liquid handling facilities to process. For instrumentation and control, the rejuvenation scope shall ensure that all instrumentation, control and telecommunication equipment and system on E11 complex have the technical integrity, capacity and capability to remotely control and monitor the E11 and E11 cluster platforms and other future platforms for the next twenty years (20 years). E11 complex itself consists of Living quarters, compression, drilling, risers and production platform was the largest ever undertaken in Malaysia. After completion of the rejuvenation projects, I move on the cili padi project which consists of one 4-legged Jacket and one production platforms linked by 30 km 16” pipeline supplying hydrocarbon fluids with a production capacity of 330 mmscfd and overall project cost of 1.4 billion. I supervise and mentor two instrument engineers under me for all the projects. My role in Shell besides the lead also include being package engineer, commissioning engineer and Technical Authority Level 2.

From 2000 to 2001, I was with Technip Engineering Brunei as Lead Instrument Engineer supervising a team of 3 engineers, 2 designer and 4 drafting personnel. I provided design engineering services to Brunei Shell and Brunei LNG. I successfully bided and completed approximately 20,000 man-hours in multiple projects during my tenure here.

From 1993 to 2000 period, I work as Senior Instrument/Instrument design engineer for Ranhill Worley Eng Sdn Bhd & Protek. Ranhill Worley is a joint venture between Malaysia Ranhill and Australian Worley-Parson based in Malaysia. I reported to the Instrument lead and performed detailed design engineering for multiple projects. Among the projects were the above 100,000 man-hours Bintulu Integrated Facilities enhance project which require debottlenecking and enhancement. The facilities consist of four Stabilisation Trains receiving hydrocarbon fluids from interconnected offshore platforms through two 36 inch trunk line. Its output is fed to MLNG-1 plant. It also consists of Bintulu Additional Gas Sales facilities which provided gas to major industries and Sarawak Electricity Company for power generation.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated the ability to both lead/supervise as well as being an effective team member in the organisation I work. I am well exposed to the multi national- culture of my colleagues who were American, Nigerian, Dutch, British, Australian, Philippines, and Indonesian.

The wide working exposure and experience has developed my competences in both technical and project management aspect.
