Areas of Impact

01
New Tech Qualification
Commissioned Electrical Tomography 3-phase level tech at Hebron - findings informed org-wide evaluation against incumbent Nuclear Level technology.
02
Project Leadership
Led a $1.7M exhaust-stack remediation at Hebron from scope definition through offshore execution - on time, within budget.
03
Process Safety
Led an H₂S consequence analysis for Hibernia that deferred fixed gas detection installation, saving $3M.
04
Asset Risk & Mitigation
Mitigated $11.7M in asset risk by implementing a risk-based maintenance and sparing philosophy for control valves at Hibernia.
05
Process Modelling
Cut OPEX by $50K/yr for Hibernia through Aspen HYSYS-based TEG-loss investigation and gas-lift system baselining.
06
Process Surveillance & Monitoring
Realized $4.2M in cumulative savings from anomaly detection and exception-based process monitoring, East Area Projects.
07
GHG Mitigation
Quantified CO₂(eq) abatement for a flare reduction opportunity - CAD 15.2M @ NPV8% on carbon credits - and initiated the concept study with EPC.
08
Data Engineering & ML
Built first-principles and machine-learning fouling models to predict cleaning schedules at the PNG Hides Gas Plant.
