BROWN & ROOT AOC
SHELL CENTRAL ISC
PROJECT DESIGN ENGINEER FOR SHELLS FPSO - ANASURIA

Project Design Focal Point for the receipt of work authorisation (WIIWAF's) for Change Proposals (CP's) and Technical Studies (TS's) for Shells FPSO Anasuria. One of my Project tasks was to ensure the successful commissioning and Start Up of Shells FPSO, Anasuria. This initially required a review of a 3rd party outstanding system report, this report concluded that the % of outstanding work was estimated at 1500 man-hours. I challenged this report after a field site audit, this audit highlighted an offshore commissioning requirement of approximately 25,000 man hours. By allocation of man-power and resource planning. I effectively implemented a SUPER stretched target 1st Oil date. This cumulated in the ISC successfully achieving 1st Oil for Shell 43 days after sailaway, 3 days ahead of Shells original critical path date, I was seconded as part of the Shell guarantee team, a role I continued in, through first gas, and the following water injection phases, (the final commissioning man-hours to allow system start up were 24.200]

Due to my pro-active customer focus, the initial planned design work for 1997 doubled, enabling the ISC to deliver stretch performance targets for Brown and Root AOC, whilst attaining Shells performance criteria, allowing the recovery of Production enhanced Assets ahead of Target.

My current role is to align design scopes and objectives of CP/TS with Shell Focal Points, and prepare CTR

[cost time resources] for study or design work. Agreeing target cost estimates, developing individual plans which cover design, cost control and monitoring, via a multi discipline design teem consisting of Process I Instrument I Electrical I Mechanical I Loss control I Structural and Piping design engineers. Ensuring all actions arising from HAZOPS I ENVIDS I HAZIDS are captured, and any actions requiring procedural input to POPMs or Offshore compliance are captured via the commissioning group for the Offshore and close out phases in the Project scope. Sustaining a high level of communication and liaison, in order that customer and external focus are met, and exceeded, whilst maintaining: -

I currently have between 30 - 40 ongoing Projects, to which I have overall custodianship, [cradle to grave] the current onshore field design hours are in excess of 90.000 man-hours. These Projects can be split down into Design Technical Studies and Design Change Proposals.

This requires the alignment of all disciplines in the resolution of an Offshore PIR [Problem Improvement Request] requiring the following to be agreed and approved

The following is a typical overview of studies: -

SHELL CENTRAL ISC
LEAD DESIGN COMMISSIONING ENGINEER

Carry out all instructions for CP's I TS's requested by the ISC Focal Point, ensuring all work is implemented in accordance with the CP.I TS design criteria. To manage and control in a timely manner (in line with the Year Plan) all commissioning procedures with the aid of Client I Design I Development liaison, to minimise offshore working by maximising onshore FATs and 3rd party audits. This included co-ordination of a multi-discipline commissioning group, and interacting with all other discipline Leads, to ensure the Clients requirements were on-passed throughout the group, ensuring that all offshore commissioning was carried out safely and to design intent. To ensure all aspects of close-out were reviewed and completed in a timely manner after handover, whilst ensuring all activities for HSE&Q compliance were met.

During this period, I was asked to review the current procedures for Design I Commissioning I Development, this review highlighted short fills in our current working practices, and lead to the introduction of the Integrated Services Dossier (1SD) which I initiated. This dossier contains all aspects of Design I Commissioning I Development in one dossier, reducing the time for issue of separate dossiers and the repetitive issue of drawings for the same work. I also addressed the method of which close out was carried out. This initially was started on receipt of a handover certificate, i.e. safety data, PMRs, this has now changed and all close out work is addressed upfront, and the ISD appendices highlight all close out requirements. This ensures that all close out activities are completed with more expediency, and ensures the ISC have maintained I controlled integrity for all Work Instructions. Both the ISD and the revised close out procedures form an integral part of the current ISC daily requirements.

DEC 1992-MAY 1994

SHELL CENTRAL
SENIOR DESIGN COMMISSIONING ENGINEER

Carry out all instructions for CP's I TS's requested by the Load Commissioning Engineer, to ensure all work is implemented in accordance with the CPITS design criteria. To manage and control in a timely manner (in line with the Year Plan) all activities for HSE&Q ensuring project compliance. All procedures were written to ensure Safety I Environment I standards and regulations for the design intent were met. Ensuring all "As-Built" drawings were reviewed and 1 set on-passed to the relevant offshore Focal Point. With the completed procedure being returned onshore to complete close out.

BP - PETERHEAD GAS RECEPTION FACILITY - MILLER
INSTRUMENT I ELECTRICAL DESIGN COMMISSIONING ENGINEER

Initially based in John Brown's Design House in Glasgow [for BP] as the client's representative. Reviewing and commenting on all aspects of design.. Part of my duties required the participation in technical audit for 3rd party contractors I factory acceptance system witnessing at vendors works, and ensuring compliance with BPI BS specifications. During the initial phases within John Brown, I ensured all design standards and regulations were being adhered to, requiring the review of engineering queries on design philosophies, and giving recommendations for improving system reliability. I was also responsible for ensuring that all the procedures I manuals required for the Miller Gas System - Gas Reception Facility, in all 28 systems covering electrical distribution, fire and gas through to ESD and Fiscal metering were in place. Following the completion of the design and commissioning phase at Glasgow, I transferred to the Peterhead site, were I set up a Project I Design I Commissioning team, acting as the senior BP Project I Commissioning Engineer.

 This entailed the acceptance of systems from BP construction, implementing initial commissioning procedures, whilst monitoring progress and percentages against a planned system handover schedule. This lead to a smooth transition period from commissioning to the introduction of Hydrocarbons, the Project was successfully handed over to BP I Hydro Electric Operations. [6 weeks ahead of plan]
