Managed operations planning, onboarding and execution of Corunna ethylene plant turnaround (COTA22) that consisted of Olefins distillation, crygogenic and compressor systems, NGL Cracking Heaters and Utilities.Key deliverables achieved: Led daily operations shift-starters & operations problem solving meeting during live COTA22 turnaround while working 6 days a week, 13 hours/day for over 2 months straight. Operations Organization Chart Development & Personnel Selection (internal & external candidates), Roles & Responsibility Charter Development, Operations Budget Development, Union Negotiations, Plant Chemical Decontamination Strategy, Inventory Management, SIMOPS (simultaneous operations management & execution), Operations Training & On-boarding, various Regulatory Internal/external audits, Post-Turnaround Lessons Learned, Utilized Responsible Care, Operations UNIFOR Policies & Plant Operating Procedures to deliver a safe, reliable and competitive plant turnaround.

Led team that created production plans and forecasts for two integrated refineries, understanding operational constraints, logistical constraints, and engineering challenges. Presented recommendations to senior stakeholders to ensure that all units were run within established strategies/guidelines and that profit was optimized throughout the operation. • Developed short/long-term production plans for Central Region refineries using PIMS (LP).• Presented monthly run-plans for two central refineries (capacity 290KBD) to Imperial/ExxonMobil Leadership.• Evaluated optimal plant configurations and generated capacity utilization data to measure real-time performance.• Optimized crude selection, production & supply: Gasoline, Jet, Diesel, LPG’s, Asphalt and HFO.• Worked with crude optimizer to evaluate crude economics and coordinated trial runs at site.• Conducted analysis to support capital-projects (CAPEX) & help operations prioritize activities (OPEX).• Performed Analysis; Break-Even-Values, next & last barrel economics, parametric & sensitivity analysis.

Led team of Crude and Product Schedulers, Technical Engineers, Interns as well as Operators to maximize refinery production and optimize sites Overall Gross Margin (OGM).• Key Change Agent to commission FTNIR technology to optimize gasoline quality (savings > $4MM/yr).• Commissioned premium gasoline tank & launched its supply via marketing terminal (savings > $1 MM/yr). • Launched E10 grade gasoline production and worked with Bio-fuel Sales Team to develop customer contracts and initiate sales at Terminals (savings>$10MM/yr). • Used SAP to order additives (created PR, PO) and coordinated with external suppliers for timely deliveries.• Blend Action Team (BAT) Lead at Sarnia site to push various margin capture activities. • Improved blend process control programs in DCS using bias management, variance analysis & statistics.

Optimized blending & scheduling of Crude, Gasoline, Diesel, Jet, NGL, HFO, and Unit Operations using Multi-Blend Optimizer (MBO) & Orion-Aspen software to meet customer requirements (saving >$5MM/yr)• Launched MBO (Multi-Blend Optimizer) Aspen software to minimize Octane, RVP and distillation giveaway.• Improved predictive modeling within MBO using data back-casting to support purchases/sales of products.• Identified and mitigated threats around unit performance, product quality and managed inventories. • Coordinated logistical execution via pipelines, railcars, cargo, trucks and marketing terminals. • Backup for Production Planning Supervisor. Developed production plan and ran Operations Meetings. • Prepared/presented monthly gasoline and black oil product quality & financial giveaway reports. • Facilitated Shell Operations training on Economics, Production Scheduling and Gasoline Blending (3 days).• Coordinated activities with Retail Business Team to resolve customer bottlenecks and improve relations.
