SUMMARY

Extensive experience in process and project engineering, coordinating and executing projects: conceptual, detailed engineering, operating manuals, procurement, construction, commissioning and startup support, for drill sites, gathering centers, petroleum refineries, oil-water-and -gas removal facilities, booster stations, vapor/liquid dehydration facilities, gas treating facilities, flare system, relief valves audit, water softening/treatment plant, instrument air supply, utility water, wastewater, cooling water, and boiler feed water

(BFW) treatment, greenhouse gas emissions, PHA on Human-Factors Engineering (Called Ergonomics), coal gasification and liquefaction, as well as research and development work for process commercialization. In addition, the managerial and entrepreneurial skills that I acquired as Owner; General Manager of a construction-contracting business would be useful in a supervising or management capacity.

EXPERIENCE

Sept. 17, 2018 Process Engineer V – Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. / Worley

To Nov. 25, 2019 Seconded to Marathon Martinez Refinery as consultant – Process / Project Engineer working with the PHA Group to install projects related to Human-factors engineering, also called ergonomics. Human factors can be defined as the science of proactively evaluating equipment design, operations, procedures, practices, and work environments to ensure that they are compatible with the capabilities, limitations, and needs of the workers. In short, Human Factors is about matching the workplace to the workers. The PHA group work involved preparation of “Evaluation Package” which would explain the basis of the design and the recommendation to the problems, Marking up the P&ID’s to show the changes to the system, Tie-In List, Construction Package Preparation, Management of Change Preparation (MOC), Vendor’s Contact, Monitoring and supervising the Contractors for the assigned projects, etc. The science of the Human Factors can be used to remove hazards, improve safety and reduce the number of incidents that occur in the workplace. Some typical example of projects being done under the Human Factors Categories are; Upgrading and installation of safety shower and closed-loop sampling system, Upgrading the utility / process connections to meet the refinery standard, Adding additional unit lighting, as needed, Unit labelling to improve operator performance by reducing the potential of an incident due to incorrect valve line-up or improper equipment identification, accessibility problem, etc.

2012- 2017

Principal Process Engineer, NANAWorleyParsons, Anchorage, Alaska

Worked on the following projects:

A - BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc.:

1 - Relief Systems Project (RSP) and PHA - Process engineering support assisting North Slope Facilities (Alaska) in achieving the BP Relief Systems Minimum Expectations and Compliance with OSHA 1910.119.

2 - West End Development (WED) Program – Worked on Category A projects developing surface facilities for one new drill site supporting up to 64 wells in the west end of the Greater Prudhoe Bay oil fields in the North Slope of Alaska.

3 – BP Core Program -– Worked on Category B projects (Brown Field) for BP ranging from $15 MM to $250 MM total installed cost (TIC). Worked on re-connecting nitrogen-filled 8" NGL pipeline to the 16" Oliktok pipeline at the Spine Road to MPU's Module 48. Added booster compressor for the purpose of importing 12.12 MMSCFD of fuel gas from GPB to power turbine engines that drive two 20 Mw generators at MPU, to address projected shortage of fuel gas at MPU.

4 – BP Alaska 2009 PSV Audit - This project included PSV datasheets and calculations associated with devices utilized for overpressure protection. The database included electronic documentation of the relief scenarios required by APIs 520 and 521.

5 – GC-1/FS-1 Annex and TEG Generation Expansion Project – This project provided high-pressure treatment facilities for GC-1, GC-2, and GC-3.

B- Caelus Energy Alaska:

Lead Process Engineer in developing engineering and design options that allow access to reservoirs that cannot be reached from the existing island. The project scope was to evaluate an expansion of the Oooguruk Drill Site located in Harrison Bay of the Arctic Ocean, to facilitate the installation of 12 new wells. Production will rely on electric submersible pumps (ESP’s) for production but artificial lift via lift gas will be provided to serve as a backup. Approximately half of the wells (6) will be used for gas injection / water injection (WAG). Headers and valving configured such that conversion between production and injection operations would be possible without much re-work.

C - North Slope LNG Facility:

Principal Process Engineer providing technical support and consultation; worked with Montgomery Watson Harza (MWH) to advance the project to financial close for the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (AIDEA). Scope included technical consultancy by Subject Matter Experts (SME) from NanaWorleyParsons. The NS LNG Facility design included multiple liquefaction trains with a total production capacity of 300,000 gallons per day LNG (equal to a total annual capacity of 9 billion cubic feet natural gas), and all required gas treatment, storage area, truck loading facility, and electric power generation.

D - Repsol Qugruk Drill Site Development:

Developed surface facilities as the Lead Process Engineer for two new drill sites each supporting approximately 40 wells. Production relies on electric submersible pumps (ESP’s) with artificial lift via lift gas serving as backup. Approximately half of the wells used for water injection. Headers and valving were configured such that conversion between production and injection operations would be possible without much re-work.

E - Pioneer Natural Resources Nuna Drill Site 1 Development:

Lead Process Engineer developing surface facilities for a new drill site supporting up to 50 wells. Production relies on electric submersible pumps (ESP’s) with artificial lift via lift gas serving as backup. Approximately half of the wells will be used for water injection. Headers and valving were configured such that conversion between production and injection operations would be possible without much re-work.

F - Alyeska Pipeline Service Company, Pump Station 7 Increase Crude Oil Heating

Potential:

This project will add heat to the crude oil flow of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline by mechanical agitation (pumping) causing friction resulting in raising the oil temperature up to 15 degrees Fahrenheit ( F). The project will modify the existing facilities such that the Mainline Unit pump #1 will be configured from forward flow to recirculation heating.
