SME Support Job Description

Technology Development Lead role in the Chevron Platform Decommissioning Technology Development project to confirm 100% severance of multi-string conductors using Time Domain Reflectometry Method in coordination with Subsea Integrity Group, UK. Witnessed yard test to confirm proof of the test. Yard test was successful. Published Newsletter

Technical Services -1 Authored Chevron Engineering Standards – Fabrication of Fixed Platforms Technical Services -2

TIRP Phase -2a Development (Takula Area Improved Recovery Project, Angola): ( Jan-2009 – onwards) :

Lead Structural Engineer for CPDEP Phase-2, WHP and CPP platform concepts and cost estimate. Initially typical wellhead platform concepts were selected by the project that resulted in higher CAPEX. Proposed dual well slot concepts to minimize drilling time (driving conductors vs. drilling), and introduced slim jacket design (Tower type structure) concepts to optimize platform weight, reduce installation time and installation spread followed by overall reduction in CAPEX of the project. These options are being considered for the TIRP project. Business Impact : Net saving in CAPEX $25MM per platform. Technical Services -3 South Nebma Aux Platform (SNX) Phase 2/3, Angola :

• Investigation of an 8-skirt pile jacket design selected by the engineering contractor identified major schedule and fabrication risks in Angola.

• Proposed an alternate 4-leg grouted pile jacket resulting simpler light weight jacket easier to fabricate thus offering substantial savings in cost.

• Mitigated fabrication risks of skirt pile jacket in Angola.

• Project team and engineering contractor agreed to adopt the 4-leg main pile jacket configuration for detailed design.

Impact: A four pile jacket in lieu an 8 –leg skirt piled jacket option was selected and resulted in net saving of CAPEX about $25MM. A white paper to this option was also presented for the project. Published Newsletter

Technical Services -4 CRX- Pigging Platform design, Congo-Angola (Phase -4): ( May -2009 onwards) : Lead Structural Engineer

• Identified potential risk of spud can punch through. Risk mitigated by additional study.

• Improved jacket foundation design, optimized topsides design

• Finalised jacket and topsides configuration for dertiled design Technical Services -5 • SMAD Phase 2: Phase-3 (Jan – April 2009) (Lead Structural Engineer)

• Conducted design review and provided technical expertise to achieve light weight structures for Wellhead and CPP Platforms.

• Influenced and convinced that a 4-pile jacket design in lieu of a 6-pile jacket would be better and cheaper option.

• Reinforced importance of weight report and design basis during early phase of FEED to achieve defined scope, avoid scope creep and change orders.

• Provided feedback that float-over would not be the best alternative. Impact: Defined scope for FEED.

Technical Services -5 • Loran Manatee Project Development (LMOD), Phase-2. Venezuela

• Latin America Strategic Business Unit : April -2009

• Lead Structural Engineer:

• Identified potential risk of a float-over installation option for the CPP platform in Venezuela due to limited installation weather windows, severe weather conditions and seismic prone zone.

• Proposed an alternate option i.e., integrated lift installed topsides and a launch to mitigate this risk.

Impact : Flexibility in bidding and improved local content requirements Mithilesh Vidyarthi
