Toronto, Ontario, Canada
In this role, I provided project engineering support and advisory at the initial stages of key projects, specifically two flares-out projects with budgets of $110 million and a compliance project with a $15 million budget. In this role, I did the following: - Led strategic, multidisciplinary teams to determine project objectives and challenges; across multiple stakeholder levels using innovative and compelling approaches, whilst identifying opportunities for digital optimization and continuous improvement across operational processes. - Was responsible for driving and directing organizational relationships with a broad spectrum of internal & external stakeholders, (engineering team, operations, construction, vendors, and contractors); and establishing partnerships with these stakeholders. - Performed key project management activities.
I am responsible for providing process engineering support aligned with project objectives and drivers as well as designing, specifying and documenting process systems, equipment, and related utilities. Some of the key accomplishments while in this role include: - Championed numerous cost saving opportunities, including but not limited to the deployment of a VR/MR technology – HoloLens , which saved the organization expenses in excess of $200,000 - Co-designed a process engineering manhour estimation tool using PowerApps, which successfully automated manhour estimation for in-house engineering reviews - Developed process simulation model with HYSYS for a debottlenecking project in FEED that helped prevent cost escalation of $4 million.
• Recommending operational modifications based on modeling analysis (HYSYS, Pipehase, Flarenet) to support optimization of existing facilities. • Performing selection and sizing of various oil and gas treating equipment for use in variety of applications, including gas dehydration, hydrocarbon liquid recovery, and so on. • Developing standard operating procedures, safe work practices and troubleshooting guides • Optimizing and troubleshooting basic process equipment • Monitoring and optimizing chemical injection (corrosion inhibitor, biocide, scale inhibitor, emulsion breaker, and so on) • Participating in process hazard analysis (PHA) as a qualified team member • Providing updates to process safety information (PFDs, P&IDs, SAFE Charts and so on) to improve accuracy and reflect changes. • Performing methodic analysis as an individual or as a member of a team to determine root cause of abnormal equipment performance and incidents. • Identifying equipment limits and provide economically attractive solutions to alleviate them. • Conducting research, analyzing available data and drawing conclusions to independently identify issues and trends. • Managing equipment/process changes through the MOC process, by carrying out functional review, updating the affected PSI and participating in risk assessments. • Selecting the appropriate type of overpressure protection / relief system for the application in line with industry codes and company standards while ensuring that the design considers installation, operation, maintenance, repair and safety requirements. • Reviewing vendor and contractor datasheets for equipment and valves (control valves, relief valves, flare tips, separators etc.) to ensure accuracy and consistency with industry and company standards.
• Analyzed production history and used it to generate decline curves for the field. • Carried out reservoir simulation studies using Petrel RE and Eclipse to optimize recovery. • Ran dynamic simulation models to determine the volumes of oil and gas in place in 20 reservoir sands. • Built PVT models for five reservoir sands that were representative of the laboratory data. • Assisted with concept selection analysis and contributed to the Field Development Plan document.
