Project Engineer in Conceptual Engineering & Pre-Development Planning 2012 - 2013 Hess Corporation Houston, TX

Performed global developments project portfolio analysis to examine an expanding portfolio of projects with increased costs and higher risk potential for $35 billion developments portfolio. Examined project concepts and characteristics such as size, scope, complexity of design, location and reservoir conditions to identify fit-for-purpose project organizational structures and processes, capital utilization needs, and project staffing and resource requirements.

Contributed to Conceptual Engineering Group benchmarking study for industry unit development costs. Performed data collection and analysis to examine project cost components in relation to total recoverable reserves; cost components reported in $/boe consisted of exploration & appraisal, development drilling, facilities and operating costs. Study involved the use of cost escalation, trend line derivation and data normalization techniques to provide cost competitiveness analysis for portfolio performance measurement and an indicative estimate for key variables for new project appraisal.

Performed a lead role for conducting an organizational study to assess the company’s capability to plan, execute and deliver capital projects across the global portfolio. Acted as liaison with Westney Consulting Group to facilitate data gathering and analysis to provide a qualitative review of the company’s organizational structure effectiveness, project team competencies, decision making processes, project controls and assurance programs.

Engaged with consultant group Independent Project Analysis (IPA) to conduct individual project evaluations to perform quantitative benchmarking assessments to measure projects completed and give indication of ongoing project expectant performance. Project evaluation metrics consisted of Front-End-Loading (FEL) effectiveness, cost predictability and deviations, NPV change, schedule slip and production attainment, each measured against industry peer companies to indicate competiveness standing. Provided contractor oversight, reviewed data findings and collaborated with analysts to refine data reporting and presentation material.
