Plains All American Houston, TX

Sr. Integrity Engineer-Corrosion December/2019-Current

Developed internal corrosion database using software from American Innovations and Microsoft PowerBI o Standardized data collection process for three (3) chemical vendors and seven (7) internal divisions o Made processes within the company more efficient using corrosion records, operational history and financial data for a 30% cost reduction on the overall internal corrosion chemical budget o Automated the data transfer process to allow for real time corrosion and financial data to engineers and operations

Managed internal corrosion chemical program for ~9,600 miles of crude pipelines o Reviewed monthly water testing and coupon data to determine adjustments to chemical rates or batch treatments

o Worked with three (3) chemical vendors to write recommendations for program changes to high volume pipelines to reduce internal corrosion threat while remaining within the budget

Reviewed all water testing, coupon, crude testing, operational history and ILI data to determine if internal corrosion is active or passive, if internal corrosion was active, determined action plan to arrest corrosion Pipeline Integrity Supervisor April/2019-December/2019

Supervised three (3) engineers that managed the Pipeline Integrity for the North Region, ~3,500 miles of DOT pipelines

o Trained two (2) engineers that came into the company with no previous integrity experience o Set goals and expectations for the team and held them accountable if necessary o Approved all technical work prior to distributing to upper management or operations

Approved inspection method and ILI tool type for all pipelines in the North Region

Assisted in rewriting several sections of the Company’s Integrity Management Plan (IMP): o Conducting Assessments and Processing Results

o Preventive and Mitigative Measures

o Procedure for Continual Evaluation and Assessment of Pipeline Integrity Pipeline Integrity Engineer June/2017-April/2019

Managed several hundred miles of DOT jurisdictional pipeline in California to ensure compliance with 49 CFR 195 and company’s Integrity Management Plan

Analyzed the following data for each regulated pipeline and conduct weekly meetings to identify preventive and mitigative measures and determine reassessment interval and method: o External Corrosion Data: CIS, Annual Survey, Atmospheric Surveys o Internal Corrosion Data: Acid Gases, Water Chemistry, Chemical Program o Third Party Data: Depth of Cover, Dent Orientation, ILI History o Manufacturing Defects: Seam Type, Pressure Cycling, Hydrotest Records

Calculated and managed (if required):

o MOP validations- based on hydrostatic test pressure, pipe design material or flange rating o Temporary pressure reductions required when repair deadlines are not met o Hydrostatic test pressure for pipelines

o Pressure cycle analysis to determine cycling aggressiveness o Evaluation pressure for ILI assessments

Reviewed ILI data to determine repair location and method based on 49 CFR 195

Created presentations for PHMSA and California State Fire Marshall regarding: o Integrity due diligence on new construction pipelines, Plains All American standard for material selections and Selective Seam Weld Corrosion
