OCTOBER 2008 to JUNE 2012

Worked as Lead Process Engineer, Jayathe Petrotech Engineers&
Consultants Pvt Ltd, Kochi, Kerala, India.
Jayathe Petrotech is carrying out design, detailed engineering jobs
and training for the Oil &Gas upstream and downstream facilities,
Hydrocarbon and Chemical Industries.
I worked as the Lead Process Engineer working with a multi
disciplinary detailed engineering team. Proficient in HYSYS Process
Simulation studies and Pipe sim modeling.
The following projects were worked with

1. Safer Exploration and Production Operations

Company, YEMEN
1.1 CPU-1 Cryogenic Gas Plant LPG Modification Project
The project was for the Modification of the existing CPU cryogenic
plant from C5+ mode to LPG mode to enhance recovery of propane
from 50% to 86% so as to increase the LPG Production.

1.2 KPU-1 Cryogenic Gas Plant LPG Modification Project

The cryogenic plant at KPU was designed for C5+ recovery mode in which
only 50% of the Propane was covered from the gas stream. The conceptual
study and the process simulation were carried out for the above project.

1.3 Raydan-CPU New Gas Pipeline Project

Nandakumar Mathoor

RESUME

Process simulation, basic design and detailed engineering were

carried out for 16 Raydan pipeline system for transportation of 150
MMSCFD of Natural Gas.
1.4 Lean Oil Plant Residue Gas Treatment.
The project was for installation of a new residue gas pipeline from
Lean oil plant in CPU area to the PEC area to transport 200 MMSCFD
of gas and also to provide gas treatment equipments to remove any
liquid carry over along with the residue gas from the source.
The treatment facilities consisted of slug catcher, cyclone separator,
filter separators etc for the separation of any liquid that has formed
in the pipeline.

Training Experience

In the above projects process simulations were carried out in

Hysys version 7.3 and hydraulic analysis was done using Pipesim
2000. The concerned Operators& Engineers were given training
in the above works.
Training was given to national work force in the above works,
regarding the operations for the modifications done in the
cryogenic gas plant and for the gas pipeline project.
Training manuals prepared

2.0 Greater Nile Petroleum operating companySUDAN-Facility Improvement Projects at EL NAR and
EL TOOR fields
2.1.

Gas flaring system In EL NAR FPF

The project was for installation of a flare system consisting of a flare

stack, flame arrestor, drain pot and KO drum equipped with recovery
pumps and electric heaters.
2.2 Provision of adding De-sander & Diversion of inlet
Crude to surge tank in EL TOOR FPF
The existing facilities in El-Toor were not suitable for handling the
sand in the crude oil. Therefore it is proposed to install a De-sander
at the inlet of the facilities. It is also proposed to divert the crude to
a surge tank, to take care of the tank cleaning/ maintenance activity.

Training Experience

Training was given to national work force in the above works,

regarding the modifications, and its operational parameters.
Process training manuals prepared.
