Experience

1. Staff Process Engineer

   BHP

   Jan 2013 — Present

   North American Shale (NAS) Upstream Surface Engineering, 2016 - presentProvided facilities engineering support for both Eagle Ford Production Unit (EFPU) and Permian Production Unit (PMPU). Optimized production utilizing CygNet data and developed process surveillance tools utilizing PI ProcessBook. Demonstrated process safety leadership by facilitating process safety event investigation and PHAs, leading HAZOP action item close outs, and utilizing PHAST dispersion modeling. Coordinated EFPU production chemical activities reducing both CAPEX and OPEX costs. Field-wide projects interface for new EFPU wells including design reviews, Mechanical Completion (MC) and Pre-Start Up Reviews (PSUR). • Successfully reduced $0.6 MM CAPEX by implementing wellhead H2S Scavenger injection and non-triazine scavenger field trials for the 2018 Hawkville Chemical Protocol Project.• Achieved $1.2 MM annual OPEX savings by eliminating Zinc Scavenger at high H2S Karnes wells. • New EFPU well facilities uptime greater than 99% via implementation of process design recommendations and process optimization activities.NAS Projects Engineering, 20••••16Developed engineering design deliverables including HYSYS simulations, P & ID\'s, Cause & Effects charts, equipment & control valve sizing, relief valve & flare system sizing, and equipment datasheets. Completed multiple process engineering studies for the Eagle Ford Production Unit.• Successfully completed Blackhawk condensate trucking study with projected $13 MM revenue • Collaborated with multi-discipline team on the Eagle Ford Pressure Decline Strategic Study to evaluate field-wide compression alternatives, which generated an estimated $ 19 MM in CAPEX & OPEX savings over 5 years
