About John Urlaub

I am an experienced oil and gas engineer and project manager with a broad knowledge base in the US Lower 48. I have over 20 years of engineering design and project management experience in green and brown field oil and gas construction. My primary focus is on surface infrastructure, including processing facilities, storage facilities, terminals, and pipelines. I have led the development and implementation of dozens of Integrity Management Plans (IMP), including regulatory assessments, in-line inspection, maintenance & repair programs, and cathodic protection systems.I have a demonstrated expert level of proficiency in hydraulic and process modeling (Hysys, PipeSim, Winflo, etc.). I have a specialty in multi-phase models, including OLGA Advanced Flow Assurance training.I have an applied working knowledge of industry codes and regulations: 49 CFR 192, 49 CFR 195, ASME B31.4, ASME B31.8, ASME B31.8 S, API SPEC 5L, API RP 1102, API RP 1104, API 650, API 653.I take tremendous pride in being a proven safety leader. I have extensive training and in-field application of health, safety, and environmental (HSE) concepts. I have had dozens of leadership roles in process hazard analysis (PHA) and pre start up safety reviews (PSSR) across the Lower 48. I am very active in personal and professional development. In addition to my own individual development planning, I function as a coach and technical mentor to early-career engineers. When I am not in the office or in the field, you can find me on the golf range working my swing.
