these were not as applicable as western standards, and developed the case for
ADS Alternate Design Standards, which were approved.

2001
ICF Consulting
Did internal testing of ICF's regulatory comment and response process tool
CommentWorks Rev 1, providing experience from my API
committee work that helped improve the workflow
and functionality in Rev. 2
2000
OSHA “eTools” Development
Upgraded four Expert Advisors for OSHA, to help specific industries to better
understand which portions of complex regulations they needed to comply with. By
answering approximately ten defining questions, the expert system logic produces
just those portions of the regulation that apply to that industry and the size
of that organization.
1998
KOGAS Training on Codes
After a fatal explosion at an LNG facility Korea Gas requested Mobil Global
Professional Services to provide an expert on US voluntary standards API, ASME,
ASTM. We determined quickly that these had been applied by rote without fully
understanding physics principles, materials engineering and man-years of
experience that have gone into these voluntary standards. I set up a total of 9
weeks of training with the supervisory and mid-level engineers, using
PowerPoints to emphasize the "why" of the major design codes. With a translator
I posed and took questions to ensure they understood what had been delivered.
1995
Mobil Global Professional Services
Served on API committee developing regulatory response to
MACT for Refineries, Distribution and Marine. Chaired the Storage tank
subcommittee, wrote the response to EPA and then developed the two-day Refinery
MACT Workshop delivered jointly with EPA.
1993-1994
Mobil Research &
Development
Served on API taskforce for federal
fugitive emissions standards, with a focus on practical, rapid and accurate
sensing systems, then getting the appropriate language into the regulation, plus
where and how to measure for e.g. pump seals and valve stems.
As part of
MRDC's commitment to train Pertamina staff in oil
and gas standards, Mobil developed an entire codified structure for the
country's regulatory framework. Role was in moving that entire body of work into
subsequent GENIE
Best Practices project to be delivered electronically
by IHS.
