Was Asset focal point for new material technology trials in oil flowlines.
Supervised System audits to monitor plant operating envelop and recommend modifications.
Involved in Preparing contracts and managing contractors in ADCO fields.
Supervised Corrosion monitoring, cathodic protection and coating.
Responsible for Plant maintenance; material selection for construction and repairs.
Asset integrity management of oil and gas production facilities.
Involved in Supervision and inspection of pipe and coating integrity during horizontal directional drilling \[HDD\].
Led the HDD team in areas of materials selection, monitoring, reporting and integrity management.
Supervised Design and implementation of pipeline integrity checks and monitoring programs.
Supervised Design and implementation of corrosion monitoring strategies (CO2, H2S, organic acid and top of the line corrosion monitoring using electrical resistance probes and bio-probes).
Supervised Design and implementation of pipeline integrity procedures including RBI, intelligent pigging and fitness for purpose analysis.
Responsible for Interfacing with contractors and representing client in acquisition of suitable materials and procedures in pipeline construction.
Focal point for Preparing reports for client and managing teams to ensure that project design specifications are adopted.
Supervised Design and inspection of installation of temporary and permanent CP on pipeline.
Carried out Pipeline corrosion prediction.
Monitoring pipe integrity during hot-tap and hydrotest procedures.
Conducted a North Sea oilfield case study on Tubing Corrosion Failure Investigation. The failure was attributed to external chloride stress corrosion cracking in the calcium chloride packer fluid resulting from air ingress to the annulus.
Studied the role of inhibitor on the control of corrosion in pipeline steel. The project involved studying of the corrosion inhibition action of tetradecyl benzyl ammonium chloride (TDBAC) in X65 pipeline steel in CO2-saturated 3.5%NaCl formation water in the presence of chlorides and at various pH.
Conducted research on Corrosion and materials, corrosion control methods, cathodic protection, marine and industrial coatings, corrosion in the oil and gas industries, corrosion mechanisms and control in the process and power industries, environments, testing and localized corrosion and principles of corrosion.
Supervised and inspected field joint coating on welded pipelines.
Designed and inspected installation of temporary and permanent cathodic protection on pipeline.
Designed, managed and implemented as applicable corrosion control strategies covering corrosion monitoring and inspection activities including preparation and delivery of annual and periodic reports, corrosion status of systems, identification and assessment of significant trends from surveys.
Co-ordinated failure investigations into material and corrosion issues in accordance with approved failure investigation procedures.
Developed various maintenance initiatives leading to improved performance of key assets. Developed asset integrity schedules to ensure reliability of engineering installations on campus. Carried out failure investigation, coating and corrosion monitoring in mechanical plants.
Taught metals fabrication and material science. Developed key safety reforms in the fabrication workshop.
