 EMAS AMC Cascade Chinook Installation - Provided third party FEA
verification of subcontractor analysis of the flexible riser hang off stands.
Ensured that the subcontractor applied correct loadings and followed API RP
2A design code.
 Shell BC-10 Project - Performed Installation analysis to determine the stress
induced into the pipe of a inline sled as it passes over the stinger of the Lorelay
pipe lay vessel and at the seabed touchdown point. The analysis was done to
provide Shell and Allseas a second opinion regarding the stress results from
Allseas' internal installation analysis.
 HESS: (West Africa) Okume Span Monitoring Program - Helped the Clients
operations team with the experience and knowledge from the initial span
mitigation campaign to determine that the flowlines in the field were
experiencing continued seabed erosion due to the high currents in the area.
Weir Seaboard - Performed detailed FEA analysis of the OVERSHOT Connector
design for Shell Deepwater. The analysis consisted of demonstrating that the
stresses in the OVERSHOT connector would not fail due to the forces and
moments induced into the system from the pressure containment end cap loads.

work performed by others into the final mechanical design report. Working
with AUV detailed digital terrain models in the Fleadermaus software
package, processed detailed 3D route contouring models for use as the seabed
surface in Abaqus. This process provides the In-Place analysis performed in Abaqus
a more realistic seabed surface to identify areas of spanning and a
realistic pipe movement on the seabed due to t he irregularities of the seabed.
Using the seabed contours, performed the analysis for the pipe -in-pipe oil
flowline in place assessment to identify location of possible pipeline
spanning and pipeline snaking if any occurs. The end bulkhead analysis was a
preliminary assessment of a typical transition end bulkhead using both the
worst case installation operation loads to determine the bulkhead limits.
Along with the mechanical design of the pipe-in-pipe oil flowline, performed
the detailed bottom roughness and free span analysis for the single pipe gas
flowline. This analysis required the identification of multiple spans that
exceeded the onset criteria for both in-line and cross flow VIV. After the spans
were identified, the fatigue life for each span was determined using FATFREE,
which was verified by DNV third party verification consultants. During the
construction phase of the project, the client became worried about the
location of the wellhead relative to the planned location of the PIP PLET.
Using Fleadermaus and using 3D models developed by both the in-house
designers and third party vendors a true 1 to 1 scale of the entire well location
was modeled. This allowed the team to study the seabed slope angles at the
location of all the equipment to be installed to check the install ability of the

Detailed FE analysis of the hinge piece of the WT1 swinging door mudmat to ensure stiffing gussets could be removed when they were found to be in conflict with structural pipeline of the sled.  PETROBRAS: BGL-1 Stinger Redesign Verification - Engineer II – Performed a stinger stress verification on the redesign of the Petrobra s laybarge BGL-1 using the structural software StruCAD *3D. Stinger geometry & design loads were taken from INTEC's previous design. Structural evaluation of the upper hitches on the stinger to insure that stress concentrations will not occur. Each upper hitch tubular member has four scalloped areas to avoid double full penetration welds. The scallops were analyzed using the FE program ANSYS.  ESSO: Chad – Independent review of lifting analysis utilizing the software program StruCAD *3D for the static lifting and Orcaflex for the dynamic lifting of the jacket off of a barge by a separate lifting barge; review of the jacket, deck, and yoke structure.  CHEVRON: Congo River Crossing – Performed work on a feasibility study on crossing the Congo River canyon by way of a deepwater crossing to avoid severe turbidity currents and mud flow. Preliminary crossing route selection and pipeline stability analysis using an integrated method of using both static stability analyses with dynamic FE stability analysis to ensure pipeline st abilit y.  BP: Mardi Gras Project – Lateral tie-in equipment installation analysis, thermal expansion analysis and material take -offs. Performed a comparison span analysis to ensure that the route up the Sigsbee escarpment was a preferred route from a free spanning pipeline point -of-view for the Mardi Gras Atlantis lateral.
