While in Shell Nigeria E&P (SNEPCO) my role was Lead Cost/Planning Engineer on the Bonga Main Integrated Projects, a thirty- two (32)-Well deepwater development, which pioneered deepwater exploration in Nigeria. My portfolio included cost estimating, control and planning for Bonga phase 2, Bonga North-west and Short Term Infield opportunities (STIFO) wells. My responsibilities included development of various levels of schedules, and participation in contract evaluation from pre-qualification stage through final award. I also worked as the permit and consent coordinator, liaising regularly with government regulatory agencies in obtaining all relevant permits for our Drilling campaign.
