Orhan Degermenci, PhD
Lead Pipeline Engineer
Qualification Profile
Orhan Degermenci (PhD) with his full-time of 25 years total relevant job
experience is involved worldwide in designing, engineering (FEED),
construction (EPC) as well as operation of many oil & gas pipelines with
a total length of more than 15,000 km and a nominal diameter range
between 6 to 56 inches. He has been responsible as project manager also
for engineering, construction and operation of underground natural gas
storage plants with a total storage capacity of 4 billion standard cubic
meters. During these activities he has applied all relevant international
pipeline codes and standards such as API 5L/ISO 3183, API 6D, ISO
13623, EN 10208-2, ASME B31.4, ASME B31.8, BS 8010, EN 1594 and EN
14161 so that he is very familiar with all technical aspects of planning,
designing, engineering, procurement, construction, pre-commissioning,
commissioning, start-up and operation of pipeline systems for both
crude oil and natural gas transportation as well as of underground gas
storage plants.
While working in oil & gas industry he has been teaching for 4 years of
his professional career at the Middle East Technical University (METU)
in Ankara to petroleum engineering students of advanced semester in
PIPELINE ENGINEERING. Occasionally he has published and
introduced his project experiences and work results of scientific and/or
public importance in several international bulletins, oil & gas magazines
as well as on many international oil & gas conferences. For all the details
on his relevant experience and job history he would like to refer you to
the details in his CV which have been highlighted below as per project
of his involvement.
Furthermore, he has a very rich electronic knowledge archive or
database which contains all technical project documents (incl. codes,
standards, feasibility studies, technical reports, construction drawings,
pipeline route maps and alignment drawings, manuals, guidelines,
procedures, calculation spreadsheets, design calculation validation
reports, technical specifications, engineering work instructions, etc.)
gathered over the long period of his professional life. All these
knowledge documents can be made available for utilization in diverse
pipeline projects, where he would be in charge to take on the role of
Lead Pipeline Engineer or the responsibility of Discipline Manager.
