Cleveland, Oh

Coordinated development and implementation of strategy required for BPOUS to be in full compliance with Clean Air Act Carbon Monoxide Non-Attainment mandated requirements for all areas in which BPOUS markets motor gasoline.Identified economic strategies, and evaluated and selected for oxygenate scenarios at each location.Secured competitive ethanol contracts, displacing more expensive MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) contracts in pursuing a strategy potentially worth $20 million per year. Required continuous monitoring and analysis of oxygenate supply-demand.Strategy required definition of oxygenate receipt, handling and blending facilities requirements, and implementing construction or modification work. Implementation was established as one of the 10 major Manufacturing & Supply milestones for 1992. Coordination of this milestone required monitoring approximately 60 intermediate milestones as the complexity of the program called for interfacing across most of BP's lines of business.Monitored all federal and individual state regulatory and legislative issues related to oxygenated gasoline.Developed and issued an MTBE handling practice crossing both refining, and terminals and distribution lines.Analyzed long term MTBE storage requirements as MTBE supply contracts required year round lifting for winter season use.

Lima, Oh Refinery

Managed Plant Engineering section (40 member staff) of Lima Refinery's Maintenance and Engineering Department. The Lima facility is a 150,000 barrel per day oil refinery.Directed all refinery capital and expense project programs through authorization, engineering, procurement and construction phases, meeting project budget expenditure targets every year.Performed as turnaround manager for $25 million east side refinery turnaround in 1989. This work included a $12 million FCC (cat cracker) revamp project. All turnaround and project work was completed within budget and 4 days ahead of schedule.Developed a real time, first of its kind, computerized project control and information program (PCIP) and expanded it to include CPM scheduling program access via PC network for all engineers.Directed activity for contracting of project related outside engineering and construction services.Implemented merit shop contract work bidding for all capital construction projects.Revised the bidding philosophy on tank work by bidding large packages representing annual programs with T&M rates for undefined work. This resulted in a streamlined procedure enabling the completion of an annual season's tank work on schedule.Supervised the QA/reliability for rotating, electrical and general mechanical equipment.Supervised the inspection department for monitoring and insuring the integrity of static refinery equipment.Developed and completed the Project Loss Control Manual for the Plant and Process (Operations Development) Engineering groups.Developed a five year tank remediation and repair program that included addressing integrity of underground pipeline systems.Supervised in-house refinery drafting services and the maintenance of all plant records, drawings and files.Participated as a member of the management safety inspection team.

Hartford, Il

Reporting to the Refinery Manager, was responsible for overseeing activities of 22 salaried and 105 hourly employees at this 60,000 barrel per day oil refinery. Managed all maintenance repair and capital project activity including contracting of work, expenditure approval, organization structure, training, development of PM programs, and relations with union personnel.Major accomplishments included creating savings of $82,000 by innovative replacement / repair of damaged process heater roof. Reduced furnace tube repair time that saved $100,000 of lost process unit production. Corrected repeated failure of high-pressure water pump resulting in annual savings of $1,000,000.

Stavanger, Norway

Coordinated commercial and technical matters for 12 investment partner companies, and the Norwegian and United Kingdom governments and their agencies. Monitored project progress against approved schedules. Monitored project scope and cost developments, and informed management regarding potential problem areas and recommended action plans. This project was valued at $250 million and included installation of gas dehydration and metering facilities on two offshore platforms and more than 20 miles of subsea pipelines.One of my major accomplishments was to circumvent costly delays to the offshore construction schedule resulting from vague government guidelines for barge and vessel certification and inspection by coordinating the compilation of acceptable documentation that enabled Mobil to obtain government authorization to proceed with construction. Failure to accomplish this would have resulted in losses of $250,000 per day.
