Experience:

Over thirty years of oil and gas project engineering and product design background,
have included 17 years of subsea and offshore experience, and extensive surface
background. Duties have encompassed the design of drilling, production, pipeline and
downhole products, as well as the evaluation of subsea systems, the verification of
manufacturers products for functional suitability, meeting with customers, and formal
specification writing. I am well versed in working within consulting, contracting and
manufacturing environments, and have an excellent working knowledge of industry
specifications and requirements, such as API, NACE and ASME.

Cameron / OneSubsea 09/09 to 11/14


Principal / Subsea Engineer
Design and Development of 10K and 15K subsea SpoolTreesTM for oil and gas production, rated to 10,000
ft water depth. Most were conversion Trees modified from original design, and tailored for customer
specific requirements. I developed P&ID schematics and identified or specified all components for
hydraulic and electrical control systems from customer SCM to Tree functions. My most recent Tree
project was Marubeni Angus / Manatee, which drew high praise from customer. I also improved designs of
Tree ancillary equipment, including Tubing Hangers, Tree Caps, Running & Retrieving Tools, etc.
Technical writing of Tree Rig Books for operator offshore use, Factory Acceptance Test and Extended FAT
procedures, Design Files, and other technical documents.
Analysis of BP GoM SpoolTree for the installation and positioning of 5"-15K Framo subsea multiphase
flowmeter and MARS (multiple application re-entry system) into the choke insert slot in Tree, and
presentation to BP of best options.
Engineering liaison for BPs containment response system, stored and tested in Houston.
Investigated many field performance reports and developed solutions for numerous field issues.
Successful design and prototype testing of Mechanical Internal Tree Cap Running Tool at the Cameron
Technical Development Center.
Training in AutoCAD and Inventor worked with both CAD programs.

Senior Design Engineer
Standardization of 2" thru 4" Choke Valve Series product line, along with control systems and position
indication.
Expro 01/07 to 04/09
Senior Development Engineer
Design and Development of a state-of-art large bore drilling choke intended to help control surface and
offshore drilling operations in a precise and instantaneous manner. The product includes a continuous duty
electric motor actuator, and is an integral component of our sister company, Secure Drill, overall drilling
control program. The specific product is a nominal API 7"-5000#, and is modular in the sense that it is
adaptable from a 4" thru a 6" nominal flow bore by replacing only a handful of parts, which makes it
unique. To date, the maximum size product (any manufacturer) suitable for the Secure Drill system has
been 3". Our client, Trans Ocean, has conducted extensive System Integration Testing in their manifold,
and is quite pleased with our product. The operating service provides high flow characteristics for severe
corrosive service applications.
