Sour Gas & Condensate Plant (2022)

Sep 2022 – Apr 2023

Alarm rationalization for two-train 300 MMCF/d sour gas processing & 25,000 BBL/d condensate stabilization plant.

  • Facilitated alarm rationalization for Train 1 and common / utility process equipment. Leveraged outcomes for Train 2, reducing time and effort to complete the project.
  • Coached project team on best-practices for alarm rationalization.
  • Supported and provided guidance on implementation of rationalization design to control systems.
  • Supported the client & project team through a disruptive change in project management provider midway through the project.
  • Net alarm reduction ~35%. Averaged ~167 tags /d completed (Train 1) and ~245 tags /d completed (overall).

Sour Gas & Condensate Plant (2022)

Feb 2022 – Sep 2022

Alarm rationalization for sour gas processing & condensate stabilization plant.

  • Completed alarm benchmark assessment for the facility, spanning approx. 10 mo of commissioning, start-up, and normal operations.
  • Facilitated alarm rationalization efforts Phase 1 process operations, with the intent of leveraging identical rationalization for Phase 2 operations. Coached project team on best-practices for alarm rationalization.
  • Rationalization from this facility will be developed into a template ‘library’ system to drive consistency and accelerate execution across the organization’s entire fleet of production assets.
  • Net alarm reduction 18%. Averaged ~100 alarms /d completed.

Sour Gas Compressor Stations (2022-2022)

Aug 2020 – Feb 2022

Alarm rationalization for multiple sour gas compressor stations. Pre-rationalization benchmark assessments for all compressor stations within multiple business units.

  • Conducted alarm benchmark assessment for the organization’s business units, including multiple production asset site types. Evaluated pre-migration alarm system performance relative to industry best-practices and company standards.
  • Developed multiple alarm management procedures for the organization’s new alarm management program. These included: alarm rationalization procedure, alarm enforcement procedure, advanced alarming configuration standard.
  • Facilitated alarm rationalization efforts for multiple sour gas compressor station production assets. Coached project team on best-practices for alarm rationalization.
  • Developed a template ‘library’ system to drive consistency and accelerate execution across the organization’s entire fleet of production assets.
