Updated Subsea Operations SOP's by working with stake holders as SOP’s come up for renewal or enhancements are identified.

Received cash bonus award for planning and executing a fast track choke change aligning new requirements and saving weeks of production losses (150,000 bbl / $1.8 M of delayed production).

Interfaced with manufacturer on new choke designs to enhance choke controllably and prevent choke wear allowing for higher production rates and increased time to replacement (2000 blpd / $24K/day production increases).

Global Subsea Hardware Onsite Engineer (BP Role 2) 2013 – 2014

Supported delivery of subsea hardware from the manufacturer site by identifying and resolving manufacturing and planning hurdles of the supplier, confirming safety standards are being met and, working with BP Quality Engineering to resolve supplier issues or BP requirements.
