Mechanical Design Engineer | Wellhead Control Panels (WHCP) | Onshore & Offshore Oil & Gas Projects

About

Mechanical Designer with hands-on experience in Wellhead Control Panel (WHCP) design for onshore oil & gas projects. Currently working on the Tilenga Project (Uganda), supporting the design and documentation of WHCP systems approved by EPC contractors. My role involves preparation and updating of General Arrangement Drawings (GAD), hydraulic schematics, and module layouts for production and injection wells. Experienced in WHCP modules including Production Well Modules and Injection Well Modules, with understanding of valve control logic for SCSSV, Production Wing Valve, Annulus Wing Valve, and Injection Wing Valve. Familiar with annulus pressure monitoring philosophy, ESD logic, bulkhead routing, and interface with wellhead equipment. Skilled in AutoCAD and Autodesk Inventor, supporting engineers in design coordination, drawing updates, and document control in compliance with project specifications. Looking to grow further in upstream oil & gas equipment design and wellhead systems.
