Singapore

Lead a rescue mission for the ongoing Montara FPSO Project. PTTEP acquired the project from a small Australian Operator who initiated the Montara Development in 2007. The project was already in the 26th month of what was to have been an 18-month conversion, and was 135 million USD over-budget when I arrived. My team identified many technical and HSE non-compliances in facility construction compared to the approved Safety Case. At that point, client strategy shifted to a buyout of the FPSO from the Lessor, in order to remove contentious Client/Contractor relations as an obstacle to resolution of the non-compliances prior to mobilization to Australia. Project team responsibilities shifted to providing leverage for client to obtain best buyout price and ended with handover to a subsequent commissioning/modification team.

Arthit was a green-field development with remote wellhead platforms that feed gas, condensate, and produced water by multi-phase subsea pipelines to central processing facilities. I managed the multi-disciplinary FEED, Detailed Design, Fabrication, Installation and Commissioning of the Arthit Field Central Facilities. Central Facility design included a 16,400 metric-ton Central Process Platform installed by float-over method, a 20-slot wellhead platform, a 1,350 metric-ton LQ Platform, and a four-story, 150-man Living Quarters Building, and five additional remote wellhead platforms. The Central Processing Platform provides inlet separation, mercury removal, CO2 removal, dehydration, Feed Gas Compression, Sales Gas Compression, NGL recovery, condensate stabilization, fire & gas detection, and other safety systems, and sales gas metering for 568 MMSCFD of feed gas processed to deliver 414 MMSCFD of sales gas and 24,000 bpd of 12 RVP condensate. Value of the topsides facilities was USD (2007) 550 million, as a part of USD 1 billion-plus in full-field development costs.
