Field Development Plan ExecutionThe project was to implement a water injection pipeline and modular produce water treatment system with a value of greater than $100 million USD in a brownfield offshore environment.Key activities included:• Developed the early project plan and staffing;• Management of procurement scopes development, bid and award;• Drove use of value engineering to enable rapid screening process to enable auditable decision making to project; and• Active development of team’s technical skillsAccomplishments:• Integrated early with procurement to identify where tender frameworks existed for bulks and drove tenders where they were absent. The structural framework tender, in particular, was used out with the project.

This position was created to ensure that all engineering work for modifications had appropriate safety evaluation and that an independent department would be present to question the designs.Key activities include:• Establishing department within framework of ongoing projects;• Incident investigator for safety incidents;• Establishing a field wide QRA basis for application of a case for safety;• Reviewing and approving / rejecting applications for safety inhibits offshore;• Approving Hazop actions; and• Development of team’s technical and facilitation skills.Accomplishments:• Lead incident investigator on major AD fire incident that identified root causes for the incident with subsequent recommendations and provided management updates of ongoing investigation.• Drove the development of field wide risk profile for subsequent ALARP demonstration that looked to better marry operational issues with the QRA sensitivity scenarios.
