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.
