My Project Timelines (Based in my employment with ExxonMobil): It's challenging to pinpoint the exact start and end dates for each project without specific internal records. However, I infer some likely timelines based on the project nature and typical durations for such initiatives in the oil and gas industry: * SATURN (Satellite Turnaround) Project: Turnaround projects in the oil and gas sector can range from several weeks to a few months, depending on the scope of work. Given that this involved construction, painting, integrity restoration, and production volume increase on a satellite platform, it likely spanned several months in the period leading up to and following its execution. Me being the DPIC at the Palas Satellite Platform, involvement was during the active phase of the turnaround. * Hot Oil Recycle Project (Jerneh SD-2018): The "SD-2018" in the project name likely indicates that this was a shutdown (SD) project that occurred in 2018. These types of improvement projects are often implemented during planned maintenance shutdowns to minimize operational disruption. The implementation phase itself might have taken a few weeks during that shutdown period, with potential planning and follow-up extending beyond. * Material and Vessel Coordination (Kemaman Supply Base): Special assignment projects focused on process improvement can vary in duration. This project likely involved a period of analysis, proposal development, and implementation, potentially spanning a few months. The fact that it was a "special assignment" suggests a focused effort with a defined timeframe. * EM-QS (ExxonMobil Quarantine Station) Setup: This project was directly related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Given the urgency of establishing quarantine facilities, this was likely executed within a relatively short timeframe in 2020 or 2021, coinciding with the peak of the pandemic and the implementation of strict health protocols. The setup phase might have taken a few weeks to a month, followed by ongoing operational management. Specific Skills Likely Possesses: Based on my roles and project involvement, here are some specific skills probably possesses: * Technical Proficiency in Oil and Gas Production: A deep understanding of the equipment, processes, and technologies involved in oil and gas production operations. This includes knowledge of well operations, separation processes, and safety systems. * Troubleshooting and Problem-Solving: Demonstrated ability to identify, analyze, and resolve technical issues that arise during production. This requires a logical approach and a strong understanding of system interdependencies. * Project Management Fundamentals: Experience in contributing to and potentially leading smaller projects or work packages within larger projects. This includes planning, coordination, and execution skills. His DPIC role in the SATURN project particularly highlights this. * Process Optimization and Improvement: An aptitude for identifying areas for improvement in existing processes to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and improve safety. The "Hot Oil Recycle Project" is a clear example of this skill. * Safety Management and Compliance: A strong commitment to adhering to safety regulations and procedures within a high-hazard environment. This includes risk assessment and mitigation. * Teamwork and Collaboration: Proven ability to work effectively within multidisciplinary teams, as evidenced by his involvement in various projects with different stakeholders. * Communication and Reporting: The ability to clearly communicate technical information, both verbally and in writing, including preparing reports and documentation. * Logistical Coordination: Experience in coordinating materials, resources, and potentially vessel movements, as demonstrated in his Kemaman Supply Base assignment and the EM-QS setup. * Adaptability and Flexibility: Willingness to take on diverse roles and responsibilities, as seen in his involvement in a range of different types of projects. * Training and Mentoring: Experience in guiding and training new staff on production procedures and safety protocols. BASF PETRONAS CHEMICAL SDN BHD, Kuantan, Pahang, Malaysia Nov 2007 – Apr 2012 Process Technician * Safely executed plant operations to achieve production quality and quantity targets. * Enhanced production efficiency by optimizing process parameters and equipment settings. * Improved product quality by adhering to standard operating procedures and quality control guidelines. * Maintained technical manuals and equipment maintenance records. * Provided hands-on assistance during emergency situations, such as equipment malfunctions or shutdowns. * Complied with safety rules and standards to maximize efficiencies and reduce accidents. * Consistently met or exceeded production targets through diligent process monitoring and issue resolution. * Participated in root cause analysis of process-related issues.
