SKILLS
ABOUT DAMIR HORVAT
Welcome to my LinkedIn profile. I am an MSc-qualified in Petroleum Engineering and Certified Professional in the Energy Innovation and Emerging Technologies (EIET) and Fellow—(AFIEAust) by Engineers Australia, specialising in Mechanical and Structural Discipline across upstream O&G, and energy transition and transformation.🟥 With over three decades of global leadership, I deliver high-impact engineering and operational excellence across complex, capital-intensive upstream O&G environments On-and-Offshore and in frontier domains. My expertise spans the full Well Delivery Lifecycle and Technical Integrity Management, with a deep focus on the Wells Discipline Engineering—including but not limited to the ultra-HP/HT supercritical geothermal environments (>350°C), Hybrid Drilling Systems and Well Manufacturing.🟨 I bring domain mastery in Pre-FEED/FEED, Technical Limit and Value Assurance Review VAR-aligned execution, consistently driving Top Quartile outcomes through scalable engineering solutions. I’ve led multi-disciplinary programs integrating conventional and unconventional O&G assets, CCS/CCUS, Hydrogen, and next-gen supercritical geothermal D&W engineering systems—positioning clients at the forefront of the energy transition.ℹNotable achievements include:🟩 Strategic Sector Leadership: As General Manager, I led a transformative upstream engagement with 2,400+ stakeholders—industry, government, Indigenous communities—informing South Australian Government for sustainable onshore and offshore development.🟦 Global Megaproject Expertise: At Shell-PetroChina, I held senior roles including Drilling Engineering Technical Authority, Senior Engineering Manager D&C, Wells Engineering Manager, Principal D&C Engineer, delivering engineering governance, compliance, and execution across LNG, conventional and unconventional portfolios in Australia, China, Malaysia, Indonesia and North America.🟪 EU Commission’s Advisor—Energy Transition: As Principal Technical Expert for CINEA, I advised on flagship CO₂ transport and sequestration VAR projects (ARAMIS, CO2Next, D’Artagnan PL Interconnector), facilitating multi-jurisdictional, open-access infrastructure with TotalEnergies, Shell, EBN, and Gasunie.🟧 My integrated systems knowledge—spanning wells discipline engineering, advanced metallurgy, structural—and well integrity, novel completions, and hybrid drilling systems—positions me at the nexus of innovation and execution. I am passionate about technology ventures enabling secure, scalable, and decarbonised energy solutions, from concept to completion.
