| Name: Craig Dougary Age: 27 Job title: Senior Process Engineer Wanted to be? I can’t say I ever really had one specific dream job. I fancied myself as a few things... a rockstar, a professional sports person, beer/wine taster or even a lottery winner would have been good! What does your job involve? A variety of different tasks which is why I like it. I have had many different experiences and worked on a range of projects in both the Aberdeen and Perth Australia offices. Data gathering, process calculations, process simulations and hands on operations support engineering are just some of what my job involves. I have a great deal of client interaction and deal with lots of people from subsurface through to operations. Which exciting Xodus projects are you currently working on? I actually have a few projects on the go just now. The main project is working on the Greater Western Flank project for Woodside undertaking field development work to move the project towards concept narrowing and concept select, and also helping out occasionally on the flow assurance side of things. It’s quite a complex system with 14 different fields so there are plenty of challenging field development and flow assurance aspects. I’m also providing process support to another Woodside project, replacing an existing FPSO which involves working with the process, subsea and operations teams. Job highlights? Working with Xodus has many perks. The diversity of the work which you get involved in is a real bonus. If you need it, helpful experience, knowledge and support are always available from any of the Xodus offices. The social side to Xodus is also brilliant, there is always something going on! Worst bits? I would say the worst bit of my job would probably have to be the report writing. I am not a big fan of that! Hobbies and Interests? I have a few hobbies and interests. Spending time with my family – playing animal games, talking about dinosaurs, being jumped on, that sort of thing. When I’m not spending time with my family, I am playing rugby for Nedlands RFC, a team Xodus is actually sponsoring, along with my colleagues Matthew Rawlings and Daniel Cockburn. I am quite sporty and enjoy cycling, playing a bit of football and squash too. My more unusual hobby is as a guest bagpipe player for the Western Australia Police Pipe Band. I also play a bit of guitar so I guess you could say I’m pretty musical! |
