Management Consulting, quantifying the impacts of various funding decisions on the overall profitability of operations. "All models are wrong, but some are useful" has never been so appropriate - it's nearly impossible to get every input represented in a model, but by capturing the most significant drivers, we have helped others to move beyond qualitative inputs and gut feelings when deciding how to best allocate funding within large organisations.This role has seen me take my past technical consulting experiences in feasibility, concept select, FEED, EPC and operational decision making, and springboard off them to deliver reliable insights at a managerial level.

Started up a Dynamic Simulation team which grew to three and a half full time equivalents. I then led this team to develop a Dynamic Simulation Model for an entire Upstream Coal Seam Gas Development, including a representation of:- Thousands of wellsite and wellbores- Nearly 2000km of pipelines- Nearly 100 trains of Screw Compression- Nearly 10 trains of Centrifugal Comprssors- A complex control system linking all of the above, covering the wellsites to the discharge of the export pipeline to an LNG plant.This is the largest dynamic simulation models that one of my teams has ever built, and I suspect this may be the largest such model ever built in Australia.Started up a Flow Assurance Team which grew to seven full time equivalents. We performed flow assurance for a large number of complex gas gathering network. Key novel developments created by myself included:- Developing software to automatically assess the bathymetry of approximately 250 pipelines at a time to determine those pipes that are at risk of terrain induced slugging. This allowed me to direct a dedicated flow assurance team to assess the performance of the critical pipes in each selection.- Developing software to interrogate PIPESIM.NET models to allow key results for large numbers of pipes to be easily collated and processed.Started up a RAM Team which grew to two and a half full time equivalents. We generated Availability predictions for an entire, complex coal seam gas network, and had to use novel techniques to deal with the sheer number of equipment items that are involved.Project Planning and ManagementRelationship ManagementTeam BuildingUNISIM DynamicsHYSYS DynamicsMAROS LitePipeSimOLGAFlarenetVisual Basic
