DETAILED WORK EXPERIENCE

September 1996 to 1st June,2015 : Qatar Petroleum, Doha, Qatar.

Position Held : Lead Project Engineer

Principal Responsibilities:

Was responsible for new offshore and infrastructure projects and existing structures

covering FEED and implementation:

New wellhead jackets, pipelines and umbilical projects;

Modifications to topsides or pipelines;

Replacement of pipelines;

Budget and schedule;

Procurement of materials including evaluation, monitoring of the vendors progress;

Support to other departments on offshore structures.

Subsea Cable project

Projects Handled

NEW Wellhead Jacket for North Field Alpha: The project called for new wellhead

jacket urgently as well tubing of existing wells is corroded and needs work over. Work

over of existing wells will require shutdown of wellhead jacket meaning loss of crucial

gas for industries in Mesaieed of Qatar for 2 years. Due to criticality of the project, we

decided to implement it unusual way. This wellhead jacket is different from earlier

wellhead jackets as it handles gas and has number of utilities onboard. We are going

to make jacket and temporary deck available for drilling while we carryout Pre-FEED

and FEED for Topsides, pipelines and modification on receiving complex. PIN was

approved in Feb 2014 and budget is around USD 300million. FEED for Topsides,

pipelines and modifications awarded to Ranhill WorleyParsons, Kuala Lumpur and I

was assigned role of Project Manager posted in Consultant office with complete team

to oversee FEED. Was in that position till reorganization occurred in Qatar Petroleum.

SUBSEA Power Cable Project for Halul: The project calls for 2 numbers of 132kV

submarine cables to supply power to Halul Island from shore. The island is 100kms

away and includes substation at each end and have logistic constraints of weight of

cable on a single ship while installation as well as delivery duration. Managed the

FEED which was carried out by Worley Parsons Qatar in record eight months including

geophysical and geotechnical surveys on the route. The cost of project is USD 550

million and has schedule contract completion in 48 months i.e till June 2016. Both

cables are installed and burial of cable ongoing. Was asked to shift in Jan end 2015 for

North Field Alpha wellhead jacket project.

SUBSEA Power Cable Project for NFA: The project calls for one numbers of 66kV

submarine cables to supply power to NFA platform from shore. The island is 80kms

away and includes substation at shore and modifications on the offshore platform to

receive power. We also require hot oil heaters to be provided as WHRU will not be

able to provide hot oil when receiving power from shore. Managed the FEED which

was carried out by WorleyParsons Qatar. Project was shelved based on cost increase

from Feasibility to FEED by multiple times.

BH-I03, BH-M04 and BH-D05 WHJ and associated pipelines and Modifications :

We had carried out conceptual study/Feasibility and provided inputs to the new

statement of Requirement including optimized pipeline and umbilical routing, cost,

schedule and Environmental Authorization. The FEED was carried out in-house in QP

and took more than usual time as additional miscellaneous pipelines scope got added

at last minute. Total of 16 projects were included in EPIC scope as FEED undertaken

by QP. The tendering was also tricky as had 3 Iranian bidders who had not done any

international works. The award was done in April 2006 for subject works for cost of

approx. USD 260 million. The project was delayed at each phase of Engineering,

procurement, fabrication and installation. The hook-up and modifications works

involved work on 26 existing platforms and was a logistics nightmare. Finally work was

completed and commissioned in July2009.

MFM Project: This project started in 1999 was handed over in 2005. The Multiphase

Flow Meter at that time was an advance technology and provided the oil/gas/water

quantities without actually separating the well fluid. The project stages involved calling

all MFM suppliers for trial testing during bidding stage and technical evaluation was

based on the trials. The implementation part of MFMs on existing wellhead jackets

were taken up in parallel and engineering carried out by Engineering Consultant and

QP procured the materials. The installation contract was awarded separately and 16

MFMs were installed on 12 whjs. The platform modifications required shutdowns to

commission the MFM's. The MFM was based on use of radioactive source and Qatar

had implemented in-between new law for radiographic sources and had to streamline

the licenses required for QP & Contractor to actually get sources in Qatar and to

offshore locations. The closeout involves settling of claims by contractor as some of

the delays were attributable to new law and QP supplied materials. Project cost US $

7 million.

Water mist and HSSD on Process Complex: The project was basically to remove

Halon Fire suppression and provide suitable alternate fire suppression system. This

involves provision of water mist system in 3 RGTs and AEG turbine in PS-2, 4 RGTs

and AEG turbine in PS-3, 2 RGTs and 2 generators in PS-4 and HSSD(High

Sensitivity Smoke Detection) in LQ of PS-4. The project was finished with delay in

schedule as platform modifications required extensive shutdowns. Project cost was US

$ 3.5 million.

Miscellaneous Projects: The projects involved well hook-ups, platform modifications,

provision of ESD valves, sub sea isolation valves etc. The works were detailed in-

house, materials procured and installed using in-house resources. The miscellaneous

works like instrumentation and telemetry are contracted out. In one instance, we

carried out conceptual study for Umbilical required, procured the umbilical directly and

installed using QPs DP vessel. FEED and detail engineering done by QP in-house.

BH-N09 WHJ and associated pipelines: Involved from conceptual study/Feasibility

till handover of the platform and associated pipelines and platform modifications.

designed for 35m water depth with a jacket configuration of 4+0 and 48 pile size. The

pipeline sizes are 6" and 8" with total pipeline length of 5km and X-60/X-65 material

grade. Scope included modifications on process complex. Platform and facilities

handed over Aug 2002. Project cost was US$ 19 million.

MM-G07, BH-G09 and BH-M05 Well Head Jackets (WHJ) and associated

pipelines in MM & BH Field: Involved from conceptual study/Feasibility till handover

of the platform and associated pipelines and platform modifications. FEED done by QP

in-house. The project involved extensive modifications on existing jackets/platforms,

which were detailed and executed with in-house resources. The platforms were

designed for 45 m to 15m-water depth. The jacket configuration was 4+0 for all

jackets. The deck lift weight is 450MT and the jacket weight varied between 300 MT to

500MT. The Pile size used was 48 and 60. The pipeline sizes varied from 6" to16"

with total pipeline length of 50km and X-60/X-65 material grade. The pipelines and

topsides for MM-G08 wellhead jacket were also included in this project. Platform and

facilities handed over Aug 2000 and closed accounts in 2001 including settlement of

claims by the contractor. Project cost US$75 million.

MM-G08 Well Head Jacket: Involved from conceptual study/Feasibility till handover of

the platform for drilling. FEED done by QP in-house. The platform is designed for a

35m-water depth with a jacket configuration of 4+0 and 48 pile size. The platform was

required to be relocated due to pile refusal in calceranite layer. Scope included

modifications on process complex. Project cost US$7 million.

BH-D07 WHJ, associated pipelines and Uwainet segregation in BH Field: Involved

from conceptual study/Feasibility till handover of the platform and associated pipelines

and platform modifications. FEED done by QP in-house.This project involved

installation of collection of Uwainet wells(XXHP) separately and flowing to XXHP

separator at PS-3 complex. The pipeline size varied from 6" to 12" with total pipeline

length of 57km and X-60/X-65 material grade. The platform is designed for a 45m-

water depth with a jacket configuration of 4+0 and 48 pile size. The platform was

required to be relocated due to pile refusal in calceranite layer. Project cost US$ 36

million.

BH-K05 WHJ, Flare and flare bridges installation: The installation contract for this

project was already awarded and was involved in execution of the project after joining.

This project was special as the contractor had only fabrication facilities and had lacked

project management skills and we assisted him with installation of the structures and

pipelay. The project was delayed by one and half years and finally completed in 1998.

The awarded project cost was US$ 24.6 million.
