I have worked in the oil and gas industry for nearly 24 years since graduating from the University of Hawaii with a PhD in Ocean Engineering. This presentation will focus on my experience as an ocean engineer along with my perspective on the key roles and responsibilities of an ocean engineer as it relates to offshore oil & gas projects. I will provide an overview of the various stages of a typical offshore floating production system capital project, emphasizing the stages where ocean engineering skills are essential. An ocean engineer typically becomes involved in planning and conducting wave basin model test programs. I will illustrate some noteworthy campaigns I have participated in over the years. Collaborative research and development activity happens through joint industry projects (JIPs). I will give an overview of two recent JIPs. I consider myself fortunate to have had opportunities to explore topics beyond traditional ocean engineering. The presentation will conclude with an overview of a Plugging & Abandonment (P&A) technology development and optimization project that I have worked on for the past ten years.
