With extensive experience in petroleum infrastructure engineering, this expert specializes in the design, analysis, and evaluation of offshore petroleum terminals, pipeline systems, and petroleum storage and transfer facilities. He has more than 30 years of experience in the liquid petroleum industry and more than 15 years of expert witness experience providing litigation consultation, deposition testimony, and courtroom testimony. His work focuses on engineering analysis of facilities used for handling and storing crude oil, refined products, and gas cargoes including LNG and LPG.

His engineering practice includes work involving offshore cargo transfer systems such as single point moorings, multi-buoy moorings, and floating production storage and offloading systems, as well as oil and gas pipelines, manifolds, pigging systems, and pipeline end manifolds used in marine petroleum terminals and energy facilities. His technical analysis includes pipe flow and hydraulic modeling, pipe stress analysis, piping and pipe support design, pipeline stability evaluation, vibration analysis, machinery diagnostics, and integrity assessment of pipeline and pressure systems. His work also addresses spill prevention and containment systems, spill control equipment, and hazard and risk assessment analyses associated with petroleum transfer and storage operations.

He has held senior engineering and consulting roles involving the design, inspection, troubleshooting, and forensic investigation of petroleum terminals, marine cargo transfer systems, storage tank facilities, and pipeline infrastructure supporting international energy projects. His experience includes engineering evaluation of marine terminal safety systems, petroleum storage tank farms, offshore loading systems, and large-scale pipeline installations. He is a Licensed Professional Engineer and holds Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in Mechanical Engineering, with extensive experience applying engineering codes and regulatory standards governing petroleum and pipeline systems, including ANSI B31 pipeline codes, ASME pressure vessel standards, and API inspection and storage tank standards.
