• Principal Pipeline Engineer (Integrity)

  • May 2014 - Nov 2015

  Aberdeen, United Kingdom As one of two Principal Pipeline Engineers within Lloyd’s Register EMEA Aberdeen, I led the team responsible for assuring the integrity of all of the subsea assets (pipes, umbilicals, structures and valves up to and including the ESDVs) of the Maersk Oil UK assets in the UKCS of the North Sea.

My principal achievement in this role was to streamline the integrity assessment methodology to achieve complete assessments of all three assets, including producing the Written Scheme of Examination, within three months with two engineers and myself. Further to this, we produced a more detailed commercial consequence assessment, detailing the commercial risk being carried by each subsea item both by way of lost production and reinstatement cost. I provided the technical direction to the team who further refined the improved integrity assurance risk assessment methodology, allowing it to be incorporated into the Nexus system and easing the future inclusion of the Flyndre Cawdor and Culzean developments. The method also identified all risks unmitigated via inspection and those carried from manufacture and installation into operation. As a part of this process, the system KPIs, Integrity Operating Windows and Leading Indicators were subjected to a failure mode monitoring gap analysis with their scope being expanded as necessary so as to ensure the swift identification of adverse operation so that the correct mitigating action is taken promptly. I performed or was highly involved in a number of integrity assessments with the objective of demonstrating integrity while minimising costs or maximising savings. I provided invaluable support and encouragement to the engineers in my team and have expanded their subsea engineering knowledge by providing explanations and examples with my answers to their questions. In return I saw them grow in confidence and ability (both received promotions within the company). Show less
