Project Manager for design and construction of 4 miles of liquid and gas pipelines across the Inter Coastal Waterway to production facilities and 8 miles of 12” residue gas pipeline crossing wetlands, a navigation canal and a state highway.

Project tasks included:

• environmental assessment.
• permitting.
• cathodic protection.
• buoyancy.
• hydraulic analysis.
• directional boring.

Project Manager for concept development, detailed design and construction management of high pressure gas pipeline.

Project Manager for de-bottlenecking a high pressure salt water pipeline system. Eight miles of new polyethylene-lined pipelines were added. Project tasks included nodal analysis and cathodic protection.

Project Manager for modeling gas and liquids gathering pipelines to optimize the system. Fifteen miles of new lines were designed and constructed.

Project Manager for routing new pipeline across State Highway in South Texas. Project scope included permit requirements for TxDOT.

Project management, conceptual design, permitting, equipment specification, detailed design, procurement and commissioning of a 8” gas pipeline and dehydration facility to DOT specifications. Handled technical details with the interconnecting pipeline company. Design also included the design and installation of a H2S scavenging system to remove trace amounts of H2S from the transported gas.

Project Manager to make existing pipelines smart piggable. Besides the installation of pig launchers and receivers, several mainline valve (MLV) assemblies were replaced and drip assemblies removed. Provided project management, engineering and construction management. Developed shop fabrication and construction bid packages.

Project Manager to replace about one mile of 30" pipe with heavier wall pipe rated for Class 3 location through a residential neighborhood. Surveying included house count survey to determine the limits of class location.

Project Manager from concept to close-out to abandon several pipelines no longer in service. Pipelines were either removed or abandoned in-place. Coordinated with client's environmental, regulatory and property rights departments to obtain clearances for completing the projects.

Surveyor to locate existing pipeline in ROW, stake routing for new additional pipeline and provide as-builts.

Project Sponsor for a field development planning study for an offshore gas. Study involved evaluation of pipeline options for a 170 mile gas pipeline.

Performed:

• pipeline sizing.
• calculations.
• multiphase flow / slug size calculations.
• buoyancy calculations.
• pipeline stability analysis.
• Prepared capital and operating cost estimates.

Project Manager for an option evaluation study for development of shallow gas reserves. The study included evaluation of several pipeline export options, including multiple pipelines to different onshore landfalls. Performed all engineering and commercial analyses and developed option ranking. Pipeline issues included extremely soft seabed soils and pipeline installation in a seismically active area.

Proposal Manager for an onshore/offshore gas pipeline to carry gas from mainland to an offshore island. The project scope included route surveys, seismic design considerations, pipeline design, procurement and installation planning.

Engineering Manager for design, fabrication and installation of 140,000 four 35,000-HP gas turbine-driven compression facilities for an international offshore EPC project. Had total responsibility for all engineering design, procurement specifications, vendor information reviews, and construction and start-up support. Supervised an integrated local/expat engineering team.

Project Sponsor for an EPC project involving the refurbishment and debottlenecking of an existing 35,000-HP gas turbine-driven compression facility in Mexico. Had overall responsibility for technical and commercial performance on the project.
