Lead Asset Integrity Engineer

CHEVRON CORPORATION, LEKKI, NIGERIA

• Obtained the approval of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) and American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) to use Risk-based Inspection (RBI) for the integrity management program for the Agbami Floating Production Storage & Offloading (FPSO).
• Developed yearly inspection plans for fixed equipment assets (pressure vessels, heat exchangers, tanks, piping, structures, etc) and secured the resources such as budgets, contracts, and equipment to execute the plan with over 95% yearly inspection performance.
• Conducted Fitness-for-service assessments to determine the effect of flaws on the integrity of equipment. Used the result to avert loss profit opportunities (LPO).
• Utilized unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) for the first time to achieve 100% visual inspection of the entire FPSO in about 30 days and reduced inspection cost by 90%, in addition to improved safety, coverage, and quality of inspection reports.
• Managed third-party inspection companies with over 80 inspection personnel to perform all compliance and due inspections and constantly maintained over 95% performance for over 4 years.
