Skills Summary: Over 15 years of experience. Over 12 years of direct industry experience in pipeline and facilities for upstream, midstream, and downstream in various engineering roles: design, integrity, compliance/regulatory, reliability, PM.
• Leadership Training & Communication: C.O.A.C.H., Systemation for Project Engineering, 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, Project Management Team Building, and formal education in Engineering Management, Psychology, Communication (commercial - visual), and Technical Writing.
• Useful Software Programs: AutoCAD, MATLAB, MS Excel, MS Project (general), some Prima Vera; Visio, PI Process Book, MS Word; PowerPoint; general MS Office, databases, PODS (various systems).
• Other Relevant Technical Course Work: metallurgy, material science, strength of materials, heat & mass transfer, electromagnetism, electrodynamics, machining (manual & CNC), dynamics, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, energy conversion and transport, controls, fluid/wind tunnel operation, measurements lab, chemistry, solar energy, sustainable systems, non-Newtonian wave mechanics, quantum mechanics, probability & statistics, drafting, blue print reading, etc.
• Industry Specific Regulatory/Compliance, Programs & Standards: Titles 40 and 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 190-199; FERC, AGA, INGAA, DOE, PHMSA, OSHA, EPA, API, NACE, ASME, NEB, CSA, AER Directives, ISO etc.; and other local state authorities (environmental, historic preserves, tribal, etc.).
• Related Engineering in Integrity/Compliance, & Projects: Audits; PHMSA and FERC reporting; risk analyses; jurisdictional reviews; high consequence area (HCA) identification; Integrity Management Programs (IMP); O&M manuals; assessment plans; engineering assessments; management of change (MOC), document management; processes and procedures; incident investigations; root cause analyses (RCA); P&M measures; ILI data analysis techniques for corrosion control and mitigation; cathodic protection (CP); mergers and acquisitions (due diligence); system design verification; equipment validation; MOP/MAOP establishment; feasibility studies; optimizations, hydraulic and pressure profiles; surge analyses; schedules and budgets.
Accomplishments in Industry:
• Overcame corrective action orders, notices of violations, and probable violations through establishing integrity and compliance engineering programs for various companies new to regulatory requirements under CFR 192 and 195.
• Reduced the probability of pipeline system failure and consequences, improved “preventive and mitigative” measures through several RCAs (root cause analyses) of incident investigations then implemented remedial actions.
• Passed five consecutive PHMSA (and TRRC) audits as the Manager of Risk Engineering and as a Sr. Integrity Engineer.
• Simplified risk data into graphical representations to prioritize assessments within continual assessment plans.
• Reduced extraneous costs due to outsourcing analyses, by establishing corrosion algorithms based on various standards and data inputs, ILI data, as well as pressure cycle fatigue (PCA) etc.
• All new or maintenance projects were completed on time, on budget, and were incident and accident free.
• Grass roots and maintenance projects ranged from several hundred thousand dollars to multi-million dollar. The largest company project was Ruby L.L.P. at El Paso Natural Gas up to 1.2 trillion.
• Researched companies’ authorizations for FERC 7(c) and 7(b) filings for strategic mergers/acquisitions and retirements.
• Executed over 200 CAD drawing packages as a drafter and as a design engineer within three years (~1 drawing/day).
• Minimized costs, streamlined resource utilization on multiple simultaneous projects (all) while maintaining schedule, budget, and complying with regulations, standards and specifications as well as obtaining clearances (see Overview).
• Received EH&S awards each year for all projects being completed injury, accident, and incident free as a PM.
• Illustrated system sustainability improvements through a parametric pipe flow study regarding surface roughness, conveying a reduction in horsepower, fuel consumption, costs, and exhaust (GHG as monitored by the EPA).
• Established visual tool to relate metal loss features (ILI data) with pressure profiles to help prioritize and rank digs.
