Promoted to manage the E&I maintenance department, in Suco's largest field, with a staff of 50 engineers & technicians and an annual budget of $1 million. Successfully worked to reduce downtime, reduce spare parts consumption and improve plant availability. This was achieved by revision of the Electrical and Instrument maintenance procedures, improved training, and implementation of a number of effective plant modifications. In 1995 the field was awarded the 7th level in the DNV loss control programme, a very high achievement. Frequently depulise for the Maintenance Manager who is responsible for all field maintenance activities.

On site equipment includes: Ruston Th 5000 turbines; Ajax, Solar, Suizer and Dresser compressors, GP-Elliott fire & gas system (Siemens S5 PLC); Reda ESP's; Foxboro Spec 200 control system; Motorola's Moscad Scada; GE-Fanuc Series 5 PLC's, GEC switchgear and Electrical generators.

The field comprises offshore locations (with 6 well head platforms) and a coastal desert wellhead location all connected to a GOSP and Gas plant (Gas Injection & LPG).

Developed the project handling capabilities of the instrument section within the Cairo engineering group and provided technical support to the field operations. Implemented a number of small on-site modifications to boost oil production in addition to running a number of field development projects using outside contractors.

DOW CHEMICAL CO. (The Netherlands) 1988 to 1992
Engineering Specialist (Instrumentation) & European Area Buyer

Assigned by Dow (a global leader m production of bulk & speciality chemicals, plastics and pharmaceuticals) to their European Engineering centre. Successfully undertook a number of multi- discipline assignments including:
