Oversees pipeline inspection, data analysis, pipeline maintenance, repair, and reassessment in accordance with federal regulations, company standards, and best practices.Provides integrity engineering support for operations, pipeline control, and third-party encroachments, among others.Authored engineering practices for evaluation of new NDE technologies and vendors.

Houston, Texas, Us

Worked with pipeline control, operations, and scheduling to optimize pipeline operation for current conditions while satisfying customers and contractual requirements.Performed and validated cost calculations for pipeline systems based on real-time data, pipeline hydraulics, and billing, running models where necessary. Ensured that the results obtained were consistent between the various SCADA, data management, and engineering tools.Determined actions to be taken in order to take full advantage of swings in energy costs.Determined reasons for any sustained deviation from optimized operation.Identified and corrected sources of error in reported measurements and calculations. Developed dashboards to track energy costs, drag reduction, and fuel usage.

Engineering contact for Engineering Data & Records Management. My role was storage, organization, analysis, and presentation of bulk engineering data, as well as the development of new data tools, chief among them the engineering dashboards for operators. These are a culmination of efforts across various departments and allow operators to track real-time pipeline performance, cost per barrel, deviation from optimized models, and changes in operating configuration.

Performed hydraulics modeling for liquid pipelines. Depending on the need, this generally included researching pipelines, calculating control points, building steady-state models, performing surge studies, determining necessary parameters for operation, and communicating findings with different departments. I relied heavily on PipelineStudio, HYSYS, PI ProcessBook, SCADA, and the far more experienced engineers around me.

My first rotation with Enterprise Products was in Houston, TX, where I was a pipeline integrity engineer. It was my responsibility to monitor corrosion, damage, and other risk factors present in and around company-owned pipelines, with the goal of maintaining safe operations. Aside from my usual work supporting integrity assessments, my major contribution to the department was writing a program to correlate pigging data between vendors. While functional, this program is still under development*, and will eventually provide a more comprehensive analysis of corrosion and mechanical damage detected on company pipelines.My second rotation was in Farmington, New Mexico, where I supported operations in the San Juan region as a field engineer and project manager, managing rehab and construction projects.My third rotation was in Houston, Texas, where I worked as a Rehab Project Manager. I managed repair projects for gas and liquid pipelines. While I still worked in cooperation with the engineering group I was a part of during my first rotation, my responsibilities centered on project coordination.
