CAREER SUMMARY

Technip UK – Pipelines Engineer (with Interdisciplinary Trainings) Aug 2013 – Present

Subsea Pipelines Engineering (Core Discipline)

Perform detail engineering which requires scrutiny of complex data, formulating calculated assumptions and providing appropriate recommendations to ensure safe installation of subsea pipelines as per DNV & API regulations.

Routinely manage technical queries and liaise with project teams to provide recommendations to ensure safe installation of offshore pipelines. Notable clients include BP, Total, Marathon, Murphy Oil & ENI.

Highly proficient in offshore dynamic analysis of subsea pipelines using Orcaflex software and detail mechanical analysis for pipelines installation designs using Abaqus Finite Element software.

Successful delivery of major R&D studies for novelty pipelines design and vessel systems development. Completed work scopes cover various range of highly detailed engineering assessments and creative conceptual study of new engineering methodologies. Completed deliverables to-date include:

1.Dynamic Analysis for Mechanical Integrity of Mechanically Lined Pipelines

2.Installation Analysis of Alternative Vessel Pipelay Concepts and Installation Aids

3.Subsea Pipelines Design & Pipelay Vessel Installation Capacity Study

4.Finite Element Analysis of Pipelines onboard Pipelay Vessel Systems for Offshore Operations

5.Design Study of Novelty Offshore Pipelines Design and Installation Methods

Responsible and accountable for the technical interface of the above-mentioned R&D studies held between engineering team, client and offshore crew:

1.Participated in progress meetings with managers and client to present key findings and negotiate requirements for additional engineering studies in accordance to budget.

2.Facilitated exchange of key information with offshore crew to assess equipment control systems onboard vessel, subsequently identified errors and proposed improvements onto the system’s output.

3.Delivered technical presentations for the study to team members and external research partners.

Subsea Projects Installation (1st Interdisciplinary Training)

Developed saturation diving operation procedures, subcontractors work scopes, equipment & tooling preparations, lift plans and rigging drawings as per standard subsea project management lifecycle.

Acted as liaison between management, QHSE, subcontractors and clients to review responsible project work scopes for compliance with engineering principles, company standards and related specifications.

Conducted various site inspections of vessels & equipment in accordance to Technip Engineering Standards.

Proactively carried out cost reduction by culling Material Take-Off List to prevent wasteful purchase orders.

Completed 5 weeks of offshore operations onboard offshore construction vessel for BP Repair & Maintenance Project, of which overall work scope includes:

1.Subsea Umbilical Cable Maintenance Works (Responsible Engineer)

2.Subsea Valves Isolations, Recovery and Commissioning (Responsible Engineer)

3.Subsea Electrical Jumpers Connection Diagnostics & Replacement (Responsible Engineer)

4.Subsea Pipelines & Umbilical Cable Suspension and Abandonment
