My role at KBR was defined as follows: independently apply advanced engineering techniques, make decisions on engineering problems and methods, and resolve important questions or negotiate with key engineers and representatives of other organisations. Scope of responsibilities involved providing technical guidance to designers and less experienced engineers and being responsible for assigned staff and budgets. The major projects I was actively involved were:
• Gorgon LNG Project. My main task was the CO2/Acid Gas dispersion modelling. This involved modelling the near and far field consequences using both PHAST and Canary and managing a 3rd party consultant. My tasks also included the CO2 Pipeline Safety Case for Construction and Operation and numerous other studies (ALARP demonstration, action closeout and participation in HAZID/HAZOPs).
• Ichthys FEED Design Verification. For this project, I was responsible for reviewing the safety documentation and providing constructive feedback based on the project engineering standards and sound engineering design.

Safety and Risk Management Consultant
AEA Technology.
UK
My role was to develop safety and risk capabilities via on-the-job training, while assisting senior consultants in safety and risk projects. Some of the projects I was involved with include:
• Participated in numerous HAZOP/HAZID studies as technical secretary, involving onshore and offshore process installations in various locations (UK, Norway, Canada, and Middle East).
• Performed significant parts of numerous QRA/FRA for onshore and offshore facilities; including ADMA-OPCO, RASGAS, Occidental, QP, Perenco, AMEC, and ExxonMobil. The tasks that I performed included: parts count, event/fault tree analysis, consequence analysis (gas dispersion, jet fire, pool fire, and explosion modelling), risk analysis, ALARP demonstration and reporting.
• Assisted in reliability, availability and maintainability studies:
◦ HIPPS Reliability Study for an onshore receiving plant (ExxonMobil). This involved using the faulttree+ software to produce the reliability of the HIPPS system.
◦ RAM Study for a common cooling water system (RLIC, Qatar). This involved using the RAMP software to produce a model of the system and assess its availability and make recommendations to improve the availability of the critical utility system.
• Assisted in CFD explosion modelling studies for several offshore facilities. This involved setting up the model, running the cases and performing sensitivity analysis using the AutoReaGas software. The projects involved North Sea Platforms and a drilling barge for Sakhalin I.
• Improved the department's methodology on explosion modelling, which involved the use of Excel and VBA code to improve the accuracy and speed of the model building procedure and create an easy to use analysis tool.
• Involved in the development of the departments 'in house' QRA software 'RISK', which involved the use of Excel and VBA code to improve the capability/flexibility of the software.
