Andrew Beckett – Project Engineer/Manager – Portfolio

Seawater filtration packages: Egina FPSO

Engaged by VWS Westgarth as Project Engineering Manager (PEM) for two process packages to be designed

and manufactured for Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI). The packages were for installation aboard the Total

Egina FPSO for which SHI was the main contractor. The initial scope comprised two skid mounted seawater

filtration units: a coarse filtration package receiving raw seawater from the intake pumps, and an ultrafiltration

package using Dow membrane technology.

As PEM I was required to lead and manage the multi-

disciplinary team in the detailed engineering,

materials procurement, fabrication, installation and

commissioning of the packages. It was my

responsibility to ensure that the contracted scope of

work was performed in accordance with applicable

international standards and client specifications,

whilst maintaining awareness of commercial

considerations and potential for cost escalation and

schedule delay.

As the engineering single point of contact I

liaised with the client to resolve technical

issues and identify and manage change.

My contract engagement with VWS was

terminated 18 months into the project as a

consequence of the dramatic fall in oil prices

and its impact on business prospects.

Pan Ocean Oil Corporation EPF (Early Production Facility) Project

Engaged by Weatherford as Area Project Engineer for an Early Production Facility (EPF), to be executed as an

EPCC project on behalf of FODE Nigeria for Pan Ocean Oil Corporation. The EPF was situated on a sloping 25ha

site adjacent to a production well in Delta State, Nigeria. The EPF was required to take delivery of two phase

(liquid and gas) well product, to separate the oil, gas and water fractions, to provide storage and road tanker

export for the crude oil; gas compression and pipeline export of the produced gas, and treatment and disposal

of the produced water. Due to its remote location the EPF was required to be self-contained with on-site

electrical generation to meet all demand scenarios.

As Area Project Engineer I was responsible for coordination of the multi-disciplinary team undertaking the

engineering design, equipment procurement, and management of construction on the site.

The Weatherford team was disbanded when the project was brought to an unexpected halt due to funding

issues. At this time, earthworks at site were largely completed and foundation construction for packaged

equipment and heavy machinery was underway. Procurement of the bulk of the process equipment,

machinery, instrumentation and piping had also been completed, and major items of equipment including five

reciprocating drive gas export compressors and twin gas driven electrical generators had already been

delivered in-country.

Tengiz Chevroil (TCO) Expansion Project.

Engaged by WorleyParsons to work on WP/Fluor JV project as Senior Project Engineer in Interface

Management team. In this capacity I participated in development of interface management strategies and had

responsibility for evaluation, testing and documenting third party interface management software application.

Jazan Refinery and Marine Terminal Project

Engaged by Aramco Overseas Co. (AOC) as Senior Project Engineer responsible for supervision and monitoring

of FEED contractor (KBR) in its development and implementation of an interface management strategy for the

Jazan Refinery and Terminal mega-project. The Jazan complex was a green-field development situated on the

western coast of Saudi Arabia, some 600km to the south of Jeddah. It was to be designed to process

400,000bpd of crude oil, with onsite 400Mw capacity power generation by combined cycle process. In

common with other SA mega-projects, the contracting strategy was to let a number of discrete EPC packages

for construction of the facilities, necessitating clear definition of responsibilities at EPC package boundaries to

prevent duplication and/or omission of scope with consequent cost implications.

This engagement was for the FEED and tendering stages of the project, and came to an end with the

placement of EPC contracts.

Iran Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Project

Senior Project Engineer responsible for

development of project-wide interface

management strategy, Master Interface Plan, and

interface database. Project suspended due to

tightening of international sanctions.

WorleyParsons was tasked with the management of all interfaces

between contracting entities, across the ILNG project. To this end

WP were required to produce a Master Interface Plan (MIP)

laying out a philosophy for the management of interfaces, and

also to develop a tool to be used in this process, the Master

Interface Database (MIDB).

My responsibilities were to draft the MIP, and to create the

MIDB. At the time of suspension of the project the MIP had

completed two internal review cycles, and was about to be issued

to the client for comment. The MIDB, which I developed from

scratch, drawing on lessons learned from past projects, was in a

working state, with sample data imported for testing purposes.

Sadara/(RTIP) project (Saudi Aramco/Dow JV)

The Ras Tanura Integrated Project (RTIP) was initially sited close to the Ras Tanura Refinery, from which it was

to derive certain of its feedstocks. In late 2010, the project was relocated to the Jubail Industrial City, as a

consequence of which the project name was changed to ‘Sadara’. Foster Wheeler (FW) were contracted to

undertake Front End Engineering Design (FEED) for a number of the process units, and to prepare bid packages

on behalf of the joint venture partners.

Among the bid packages to be produced was

that for the Industrial Gases Provider (IGP), that

would provide nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen,

carbon monoxide and ammonia to process units

within the petrochemical complex. The JV

partners had elected to bid the IGP on a Build-

Own-Operate (BOO) basis under which the

successful bidder would undertake the design,

construction and, commissioning the IGP plants

using its own capital, (estimated at U$ 0.4 billion)

and would operate the plants for a period of

of 10

twenty years, recovering its investment by the sale of its products ‘across the fence’ to RTIP, under the terms

of a pro-forma contract (the Industrial Gases Purchase Agreement or ‘IGPA’).

It was initially envisaged that a single Request For Proposal (RFP) package for the IGP would be released to the

market, however, following the move to Jubail the facilities were split into an on-plot and an off-plot element,

and two separate packages were thus required.

In May 2009, I was appointed as FW’s Area Manager for the Industrial Gases Provider (IGP), tasked with the

preparation and delivery, to schedule, of the two RFP packages, including responsibility for technical

authorship, and co-ordination of inputs from FW disciplines, and the JV Partners commercial and legal teams.

As the IGP was to be a third party asset,

constructed and operated on a BOO basis, no

FEED was undertaken for these plants. It was

therefore necessary to allocate schedule time

for the prospective developers to undertake

FEED as a part of the bid preparation. In

addition, the products of the IGP needed to be

available to the customer units at an early

stage, for commissioning purposes. In

consequence of these considerations, the IGP

RFPs had to be among the first bid packages

released to the market, placing the IG team

under significant pressure to meet the schedule

requirements.

The two bid packages were released to the

market in a timely manner, approximately two

months apart, in the first quarter of 2011, with

developer’s proposals to be submitted in late

summer. I participated with the Owner teams

in the two ‘Jobex’ (job explanation) meetings

that followed the RFP releases. Then, in the

intervening months until bid submission, I was

responsible for tracking the on-going FEED in

order to identify changes that impacted upon

the IGP, and where necessary to compile and

release addenda to the bidders. I was also

responsible for managing all bidder questions

on behalf of owner and expediting responses.

I performed the role of Bid Custodian for the receipt of the first set of RFP responses, and participated in the

technical review and scoring. Due to granting of an extension for the second set of submissions, I had left the

project by the time these were received.

In Salah Gas Southern Fields Development FEED (BP Statoil NorskHydro Sonatrach JV) The In Salah Gas Southern Fields Development was a relatively small (100,000 manhour) FEED for gas

gathering, treatment and transportation, situated in the Algerian Sahara desert. The scope included a pipeline

of 10

network for the collection of wet gas from a cluster of wells in the vicinity of In Salah, a central processing

facility for drying the gas, and transportation pipelines for conveying the gas to tie into an existing gas

transportation trunkline.

I joined the project at the outset in September 2008, and was appointed as Area Project Engineer with

responsibility for co-ordination of discipline engineering teams in the preparation of FEED documentation in

preparation for an Invitation to Tender (ITT) package, management of a sizeable client data archive, and

creation of ITT structure for engineering content, in liaison with the client JV team.

The project was suspended in April 2009, when the FEED estimate was found to exceed owner expectation. A

study was instigated to develop a number of alternative design bases with potential for lower cost. At the

conclusion of this study, the FEED recommenced using a revised basis of design; however I had been

transferred to the RTIP project in the interim, and was unable to rejoin the ISG FEED.

KPI Integrated Petrochemical Complex Project (Kazakhstan Petrochemical Industries) Kazakhstan Petrochemical Industries was a

proposed tri-partite joint venture between

Lyondell Basell and two Kazakh entities;

Kazmunaigas and Sat&Co. The joint venture

was to have been formed in order to develop

a green-field petrochemical complex near the

city of Atyrau in the Caspian Sea coastal

region of North West Kazakhstan. The

complex was to produce ethylene and a

polyethylene using feedstocks originating

from the Tengiz refinery 195 km to the south.

A Gas Separation Unit (GSU) was to be

constructed adjacent to the Tengiz facility

propane and ethane from this source was

then to have been transported to the KPI

plant via two dedicated pipelines.

Foster Wheeler was engaged, by

the joint venture participants, to

conduct FEED studies and develop

an Invitation to Bid (ITB)

documentation package for

release to the marketplace.

I joined the project at an early

stage, in May 2008, and was

appointed Area Project Engineer

with responsibility for Gas

Separation Unit (GSU) to be

constructed near Tengiz, involving

site reconnaissance,

recommendation for site

of 10

selection, and co-ordination of multi-disciplinary team producing basis of design documentation for inclusion

in the Invitation for Bid (ITB) documentation package.

In this capacity, I twice visited Kazakhstan, on the first occasion to conduct a reconnaissance of the sites for

the Petrochemical Complex near Atyrau, and the GSU near Tengiz, and on the second occasion to meet with

Sat&Co in Astana, to discuss the structure of the ITB package.

The project was suspended in October 2008 due to differences within the JV. At this time the ITB package was

still under development.

Karan Gas Project FEED (Saudi Aramco)

The Karan Gas project, at the

Khursaniyah Gas Plant, was associated

with the Manifa project, in that

facilities were to be built at

Khursaniyah for processing the gas

from the Manifa. Having previously

been working on the Manifa project, I

joined the Karan Gas project FEED in

mid December 2008 in order to

manage the preparation of the

Invitation for Proposal (IFP)

documentation package comprising the

Manifa Gas Processing Facilities, Karan

SRU train 5, and ancillary equipment.

As Senior Project engineer I was responsible for expediting the completion of engineering deliverables for

inclusion in the package, and for timely delivery of the completed IFP to the Owner for release to the Market.

The bid package was released to the market in April 2008, following which I was transferred to my next

project.

Manifa Central Processing Facilities (CPF) Project FEED (Saudi Aramco) Manifa Central Processing Facilities was a green-field development to be sited on the north-east coast of Saudi Arabia, providing gas/oil separation, wet crude handling, crude stabilization, produced water disposal, water injection and other related facilities. I joined the Manifa CPF Project at an early stage in January 2007.

In my position as Senior Project Engineer, I was assigned specific responsibility for the Utilities packages,

comprising Raw Water Supply and Treatment, Fire Water and Plant Utility Water System, Steam Generation,

Cooling Water, Instrument Air and Utility Air, Nitrogen Facilities, Fuel Systems and Chemical Dosing Packages.

In addition to the management of the utilities packages, I was also given responsibility for devising and

agreeing a consistent Invitation for Proposals (IFP) structure to be used across all the bid packages on the

project, and for assembly and delivery to the Owner of all these packages, together with the Project Proposal.

PetroRabigh Project (Saudi Aramco/Sumitomo JV)

PetroRabigh was my first project at Foster Wheeler, and also my first project for Saudi Aramco. I joined the

project as Senior Project Engineer towards the end of the Feed in April 2005. I initially took over the role of

interface co-ordinator for Utilities and Tankage during the completion of the FEED phase. Subsequently I

transferred to the PetroRabigh Core Team as EPC co-ordinator during preparation of the Open Book Estimate

(OBE) and detailed engineering phase of the project. In this role I was responsible for liaison with the Utilities

and Tankage contractors.

As part of my role, I developed the

PetroRabigh Master Interface Database, a

Microsoft Access application that was used

to manage interfaces across the entire the

PetroRabighproject. This tool was handed

over to Hirai San of Sumitomo for use on

site during the construction phase of the

project.

The Rabigh Master Interface Database

(MIDB) was designed to operate in

accordance with the interface Philosophy as set down in the Master Interface plan (MIP) for the project. It was

created as a tool to help monitor and record the development and completion of the numerous (2000 or

more) interfaces that would exist between the various contractors involved in the Rabigh project. It

superseded the MS Word format Boundary Interface documents that were previously used to tabulate

interface information for each EPC package during the FEED phase.

Axsia Serck Baker, Gloucester (Various Projects)

Prior to contracting to Foster Wheeler, I worked under

contract to Axsia Serck Baker (ASB), in Gloucester, for a

period of four years from January 2001 to March 2005.

The projects at ASB were typically EPCC (Engineer

Procure, Construct and Commission), and were on a

considerably smaller scale than those at FW, contract

values ranging from £100,000 to £2 million. Two of the

packages on which I played a principal role were the

Ekofisk 2/4M Produced Water Treatment Package, and

the White Rose FPSO Produced Water Treatment Package.

of 10

The 2/4M Produced Water Treatment Package, was designed and manufactured for installation on the

ConocoPhillips Ekofisk 2/4M wellhead and process platform. The package comprised five skidded units. An SLC

(solid-liquid cyclone) unit for the removal of sand and silt particles; twin LLC (liquid -liquid cyclone) units for

the removal of oil; an ROT (Reject Oil Treatment) unit for processing of the removed oil; and a Reject Feed

Pump skid.

Due to the offshore environment and the nature of the fluids being processed, the materials of construction

were Duplex and Super Duplex chromium steels throughout, conforming to NORSOK requirements.

My role was that of lead engineer, with responsibility for the on-time delivery of the packages against a

particularly tight schedule, enforced by liquidated

damage provisions. I lead a multidisciplinary team of

process, mechanical, structural and instrumentation

engineers, and managed sub-contract suppliers for

rotating equipment, valves, instruments and skid

frames. My responsibilities included the expediting of

engineering deliverables, resolution of engineering

issues, and day to day communications with the client.

During the latter stages of the project I took on the

role of workshop management, in order to expedite

the assembly, testing, packaging and shipment of the

skidded units by the delivery deadline.

The White Rose Project comprised a skidded

LLC (liquid -liquid cyclone) package and a stand-

alone de-gasser vessel, for installation on the

Sea Rose FPSO that was to operate in the White

Rose oil and gas field, offshore Newfoundland.

The hydrocyclone vessels, valves and pipework

were fabricated in high chromium duplex steel

alloy (22%Cr UNS 31803), according to NORSOK

standards, with additional requirements in

order to comply with CNOPB and Canadian

Pressure Vessel code (CSA-B51-97).

My role was again that of lead engineer; with similar

responsibilities to those outlined above for the Ekofisk 2/4M

project. The project imposed a challenging delivery schedule,

with a strict delivery deadline dictated by the sailing date of

the Client’s consolidated shipment from the UK to

Newfoundland.

Other Axsia Serck Baker projects in which I was involved, in a Project Engineering capacity were:

Statoil Heidrun Sulphate Reduction Package (SRP),

utilising nanofiltration membrane technology for

the reduction of sulphates in seawater to make it

suitable for use as well injection water.

Marathon Brae ‘A’ and Everest/Lomond Coarse

Seawater Strainer Packages.

Shell Philippine’s Exploration (SPEX) Malampaya Gas Project

In the year 2000, I was contracted to SPEX as

the Shell offshore engineering representative

for a pipelay support vessel on the 500km

Malampaya gas pipeline lay, working in water

depths of up to 1000 metres.

In this role, I was responsible for day to day

supervision of the work, HSE, co-ordination

with lay vessel, scheduling of work, and the

safeguarding of the marine environment in

accordance with SPEX undertakings.

Kvaerner Centrifugal Products Group (1996-1999)

In the three years from late 1996 until mid 1999, I was contracted to Kvaerner Process Systems, working in the

Centrifugal Products Group (CPG) at a satellite technology centre based in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. My

role combined the functions of mechanical designer and Project Engineer.

In the former capacity I was responsible for the

development and production of hydrocyclone designs

using solid modelling techniques, in order to facilitate

manufacture by investment casting and swaging

methods.

As Project Engineer, I was responsible for managing

the manufacturing processes, and for delivery of

packaged systems to internal (Kvaerner Group) and

external clients.
