Projects

Oxy Dorado Gas Lift

  • Served as third party certified verification agent for fabrication of the Dorado coiled gas tubing
  • Witnessed hydrotest, gas test, and a tubing hanger system integration test (SIT)

Shell Whale

  • Tasked by Shell to act as the third party certified verification agent (CVA) for several risers off the new Whale platform
  • Utilized OrcaFlex to run interference analysis between several riser interference pairs

Hess Baldpate PSS

  • Ran interference analysis in OrcaFlex between the Penn State bundled riser and associated umbilical

Oxy K2 Pumping Project

  • Ran analysis using a revised Oceaneering umbilical cross section to confirm initial results from a cross section generated in Umbili-CAD
  • Worked with the client iterating through multiple potential umbilical routes in order to minimize cost, installation time, and maintenance

Oxy K2 Umbilical Decommissioning

  • Tasked by Occidental with performing analysis for the decommissioning of the existing out of service K2 umbilical in order to free up a slot for a new umbilical

BP Mad Dog 2 Riser Monitoring

  • Tasked by BP with evaluating the feasibility of installing sensors to ensure robustness of the riser designs and validate predicted fatigue damages
  • Utilized Flexcom to select the elements with the most onerous fatigue damages along the risers, calculated average period and amplitude at those locations when subjected to timetrace motions, and plotted them against sensor tolerances

Oxy Horn Mountain West CVA

  • Tasked by Occidental to act as the CVA for the addition of two flexible risers and an umbilical off the existing Horn Mountain West spar
  • Utilized Flexcom to run interference analysis between the two flexible risers and umbilical
  • Utilized Flexcom and Layercom to run global and local fatigue analysis for the two flexible risers

BP Na Kika Herschel Umbilical Replacement

  • Tasked by BP to perform a design verification for an umbilical to replace the existing Herschel umbilical on the Na Kika floating platform
  • Utilized Flexcom to perform strength, interference, and fatigue analysis and confirmed that the design was acceptable
