Description
SUMMARY * 30 years' experience in the Oil & Gas industry. Includes 16 years in the Operations sector in Offshore Oil & Gas, Gulf of Mexico, primarily Shallow Water Production and over 14 years in the Commissioning/Start-Up/Mechanical Completions Management of Deepwater Floating Structures including Semi-submersibles, Tension-Leg Platforms and Spars. * Direct involvement with ensuring the smooth transition between Project Teams - Construction, Commissioning, Operations and Engineering. * Mechanical Completions experience earned insight to expectations and requirements necessary to ensure smooth systems handover from Construction to Commissioning to Operations. * During Middle East assignment as Start-Up Safety Coordinator, gained valuable, first-hand experience in the tremendous importance of maintaining a personal commitment to safety dedicated to instilling that same commitment in others. TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS & ACCOMPLISHMENTS * Deepwater Mega-Projects: Shell's Cardamom-2.5 Billion USD, BP's Thunderhorse-5 Billion USD, -Semi-submersible, BHP Billiton's Shenzi-4.4 Billion, Tension Leg Platform and Chevron-2.7 Billion, Texaco's Tahiti-Spar. * Utility Expertise: Instrument and Utility Air, Potable Water, Sewage Treatment, Firefighting, Living Quarters, Helicopter Fuel, HVAC (both Process and Quarters), Material Handling, Survival Craft, Safety Equipment, Hydraulics, Nitrogen, Diesel, Chemical Injection, Hypochlorite Generation, Main Power Generation (Turbines). * Production Expertise: Fuel Gas, Glycol Regeneration, HP/LP Flare, Seawater lift, Open Drains, Closed Drains, Drilling systems, Methanol, Production Separation, Production recirculation, Well Unloading, Reciprocating and Turbine Compressors, Booster Gas Compression, Oil and Gas Pipelines, Gas Sales, Oil Sales, Produced Water Treatment. * Marine / Subsea: Ballast and Bilge, Trees and Manifolds, Flow Lines, Umbilicals, Caissons and Risers. * Management: Integration of productivity Management Construction solutions for Onshore and Offshore, Subsea (deep and shelf) and Top-sides: Chemical, Petrochemical, Power, Oil & Gas (Labor Optimization, Logistic Direct Services). Optimization for Temporary Services and Staffing / De-staffing Plans. Coordination of upstream operations and optimization of processes, focused in maximizing asset production capacity and productivity. HS&E and operations requirements, to include participating in HAZOPS and HAZIDS, being involved with determining CAPEX, OPEX and schedule requirements.

HS&E and operations requirements, to include participating in HAZOPS and HAZIDS, being involved with determining CAPEX, OPEX and schedule requirements. Job duties and responsibilities included maximizing oil production from a mature field utilizing Gas-lift and Gas compression including I&E and mechanical troubleshooting as necessary. Due to the large area involved field operations were conducted by a single operator assigned to a single platform. This involved troubleshooting and a "think on your feet" type of work ethic.
