EXPERIENCE SUMMARY
Mr. Wright is an experienced engineering professional with over 30 years’ of
professional engineering experience executing projects and providing design,
construction and operational support of oil, natural gas and electrical
transmission facilities. Mr. Wright has functioned in numerous engineering
positions from entry-level electrical engineer to senior project manager and
engineering team leader. Mr. Wright has extensive expertise in the design
and operation of natural gas transmission pipelines and large horsepower
natural gas compression facilities, low and medium voltage electrical
systems, pipeline SCADA systems, process controls, PLC control systems
and HMI application software development. Additionally, Mr. Wright has
developed grounding systems to minimize impacts on cathodic protection
systems while significantly improving lightning protection. He has also lead
the implementation of pipeline integrity management programs, electrical
safety and maintenance programs and conducted numerous process hazard
and root cause analyses.
While functioning as the responsible project manager, Mr. Wright has
successfully completed capital expansion and maintenance projects as large
as $42 M. Functioning as a design lead, he has developed projects from
concept to completion for projects as large as $65 M.
Recently Mr. Wright has contributed to the improvement of the natural gas
transmission infrastructure in the Republic of Georgia by assisting the
Georgian Oil and Gas Corporation through a $152 M USAID assistance
program, by providing pipeline construction project management and contract
oversight.
During his 30-year tenure with El Paso Corporation, Mr. Wright participated in
the design, installation and commissioning of over 450,000-hp of new
compressors on the Colorado Interstate Gas and El Paso Natural Gas
pipeline systems, and in the development of operations and maintenance
plans for over 1.2 million miles of pipeline, compressor stations and
processing plants to ensure safe and reliable natural gas transmission across
the western United States.
A seasoned manager, Mr. Wright has excellent oral and written
communication skills and works closely with all project stakeholders to
achieve their goals and objectives while maximizing reliability, safety and cost
effectiveness. His international experience includes projects in Mexico, Peru
and the Republic of Georgia.
Mr. Wright is familiar with the following relevant safety, design and operational
codes and standards: OSHA, DOT Part 192, IEEE, NEC, NFPA 70E, relevant
API and ISA standards, ASME B31.3, B31.8, as well as PHMSA pipeline
integrity and control room management requirements.
