Process Engineering & Design Consultancy Services - Oil & Gas.

Pre-FEED work for a produced water debottlenecking project in Egypt.I developed a field-wide control narrative, carried out flare & blowdown assessment for integration of new equipment into existing plant, and led a small team of process engineers on discrete workscopes within the West Qurna Expansion FEED Project; a US$ 1.5bn programme of debottlenecking.

I carried out process engineering for the detailed design phase of the project to tie the new Forties Alpha Satellite Platform to the existing Forties Alpha, including steady state & dynamic plant simulations, modification of control & operation and ESD philosophies, and generating/checking a variety of process engineering deliverables.

I carried out process engineering & design for the Apache Forties Gas Lift Debottlenecking Upgrade project. I previously worked as the Process focal point on the Brae Alpha Powergen Upgrade project, as well as a number of smaller facilities modification & upgrade projects, as part of the Petrofac engineering team working for Marathon Oil UK.

I joined Merpro as a Senior Process Engineer, and carried out all process engineering functions on a number of sand management & produced water treatment projects, primarily for North Sea clients. I was soon promoted to Lead Process Engineer, where I became responsible for all process engineering functions, producing deliverables, and generating manhour.

I joined WLGE as a graduate Process Engineer. During my time I gained experience in a number of aspects of process engineering, including: carrying out detailed plant sizing calculations for LPG storage & transportation (including sizing pumps, compressors, process lines, firewater deluge systems & relief valves); preparing & checking P&IDs, PFDs, and Heat.
