Senior Process Engineer @Xodus

Recently promoted to Senior Process Engineer at Xodus. I have over three years of process engineering-related experience, having worked on a diverse integrated and standalone upstream oil & gas projects ranging from field development, late life studies through to decommissioning. I have over one-year of production assurance experience working on steady-state and transient hydraulics and thermal assessments, fluid characterisation as well as scale potential analysis. Further, I have performed corrosion assessments within the Subsea division and continues to gain experience in integrity management and operations support. I have also immersed herself within the Renewables team, having been involved in a number of hydrogen production and supply chain studies, including a secondment to a hydrogen start-up. Within the offshore wind sector, I have provided support to a market review and analysis study, specifically in LCoE modelling and comparison of the UK-wide fixed offshore wind project pipeline. I have also been involved in an offshore wind development project, designing a concept for a fixed bottom offshore wind farm, specifically working on Metocean assessment and cable routeing scopes. More recently, I have been involved in energy development concept studies, a carbon capture and utilisation feasibility study of CO2 injection for enhanced oil recovery as well as Emissions Reduction studies.
