HUNTSMAN POLYMERS CORPORATION 1994-2001

Staff Project Engineer, Odessa Texas 1997-2001

Project manager for numerous infrastructure projects ($15,000,000) for the continued plant operation and for the major expansion project of the Olefin Plant at the Huntsman Odessa complex.

Modernized eight existing brine ponds, installed new 325,000 barrel brine pond, and installed pumps and extensive piping to expand and pressurize the plant brine system, allowing the complex to store significantly larger quantities of feedstock and products in the underground caverns at the complex.

Rerouted and debottlenecked piping, modified 400hp export pumps, and installed communication links to the Olefin plant, allowing the complex to move larger quantities of feedstock to the fractionator and move larger quantities of products to/from underground caverns and third party pipelines.

Lead project engineer for the complete reconfiguration ($1,500,000) of three TLAB/6 2000hp reciprocating compressors from four stages to three stages for the Yates Field gas plant.

Facilitated project development and coordinated several engineering studies. The project raised volume throughput from 7,000 mscfd to 12,000 mscfd per compressor resulting in expense savings in excess of $1,000,000 per year.

The increased operational flexibility of these compressor units provided an incremental 350 bpd of crude production.

Negotiated 10 year contract ($47,000,000) for the purchase of 25,000 mscfd nitrogen to

inject into the Yates Field to maintain/increase reservoir pressure.

Short listed suppliers, negotiated contract, oversaw construction and administered contract, which resulted in expense savings of $4,000,000+ in the initial year of the contract.

Contributed to reversing oil production decline and increasing production by 3,000 bpd from the Yates reservoir.

Installed high pressure (1440 psi) sour gas gathering pipeline with numerous tie-in points and

road crossings for the Yates Field to route raw gas to a NGL plant (100,000 mscfd).

Developed AFE, purchased all materials, and supervised pipeline installation, which resulted in increased NGL plant throughput by 35,000 mscfd and raised NGL production by 300 bpd.

Optimized several NGL plants to improve liquid production and plant operation.

Gathered operating data, simulated plant operations, and implemented optimized variables resulting in higher production level (200 bpd) and better operating performance.

Advanced Process Engineer, Aberdeen Scotland 1989-1989

Developed emergency pipeline depressurization procedures for seven offshore pipelines in the

Brae Field area (150,000 bpd) in response to increased governmental safety concerns.

Determined pipeline depressurization times, restructured control logic and submitted design change requests to minimize depressurization time in case of catastrophic failure.

Wrote detailed and summary depressurization procedures for two offshore platforms to enhance operational awareness and provide necessary safety procedure.

Advanced Process Engineer, Midland, Texas 1987-1989

Sold the Yates gas plant (100,000 mscfd) to the Yates Field Unit owners to eliminate conflict between Field Unit and Gas Plant owners.

Determined present value of plant and negotiated with buyers and sellers, which resulted in the plant being sold at a negotiated fair market value. The sale price was $7,000,000 above the buyer's offer.

Advanced Process Engineer, London, England 1980-1987

Worked offshore and onshore debugging oil and gas production facilities and optimizing process

facilities and utility systems on the Brae A platform (100,000 bpd).

Determined equipment limitations and optimized oil and gas production based on simulations, which raised NGL production 5,000 bpd.

Handled daily offshore operational problems; coordinated NGL startup and shutdown activity.

Lead process engineer for a team of 6 for a period of 3 years for the conceptual design of the process production facilities (400,000 mscfd) for the Brae B gas condensate offshore platform ($1,800,000,000).

Developed process schemes, optimized the propane plus product recovery, and minimized cost, weight, and size of each scheme. Selected optimal process scheme and conducted several engineering studies analyzing the flexibility and merit of the scheme. Wrote the process portion of the Plan of Development, which was submitted to the government for approval. The United Kingdom government accepted the Plan and the offshore platform was constructed.
