As Lead Instrumentation and Controls Engineer and a key project team member, I have been actively involved in the complete design engineering cycle from conceptual design through to detailed engineering for numerous EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) projects. My contributions span across various phases, including FEED, detailed design, procurement support, and commissioning assistance. Major projects include:

JANDRAN Field Development Project (OGDCL, Pakistan).

As Lead Instrumentation & Controls Engineer, I was responsible for the complete I&C design scope for the development of a new production scheme for the Jandran Gas Field. The project involved end-to-end facilities, from wellhead installations and flowline gathering networks to the design of a central gas processing plant. The plant was designed to process 85 MMSCFD of raw natural gas to produce on-specification sales gas through the Amine Unit, gas dehydration through the molecular sieve process, sales gas compressors, and allied utilities, etc.

KPT-TAY Compression Project (OGDCL, Pakistan).

The project involved the design, procurement, installation, and integration of 12 gas engine-driven reciprocating compressors across four different sites to address declining reservoir pressures. These compressors were integrated with a central gas processing facility, which consists of two gas processing trains designed to handle up to 250 MMSCFD of raw natural gas, 205 MMSCFD of on-spec sales gas, 413 metric tons per day of LPG, and 5,058 barrels per day of stabilized condensate. Led the complete Instrumentation & Controls (I&C) engineering scope from basic and detailed design to procurement and commissioning support.

Khewari Field Development Project (OGDCL, Pakistan).

As Lead Instrumentation & Controls Engineer, I was responsible for the complete I&C design scope for the development of a new production scheme for the Khewari Gas Field. The project involved end-to-end facilities, from wellhead installations and flowline gathering networks to the design of a central gas processing plant. The plant was designed to process 30–35 MMSCFD of raw natural gas to produce on-specification sales gas through gas sweetening using an amine unit, gas dehydration through a molecular sieve process, sales gas compressors, and allied utilities, etc.

ADHI-III Gas Processing LPG/NGL Recovery Plant (Pakistan Petroleum Limited, Pakistan).

The plant was designed to process 30–35 MMSCFD of raw gas to produce on-spec sales gas, LPG, and NGL. As Lead Instrumentation & Controls Engineer, I engaged in the engineering design of the ADHI-III Gas Processing Plant, focusing on the installation of a new facility for LPG and NGL recovery.

White Oil Pipeline Mogas Project (PAPCO, Pakistan)

This project involved the installation of a new 26-inch diameter, 786-kilometer cross-country pipeline, along with the development of associated stations at four key locations for the receipt, storage, pumping, and transportation of 12 million tons/year of hydrocarbon products (gasoline and high-speed diesel). The system enables batch-wise transportation of these products from Port Qasim, Karachi, to Mahmood Kot, Muzaffargarh. Led the instrumentation and controls engineering for pipeline and station facilities across all locations.

Nashpa Compression Project (OGDCL, Pakistan).

To address reservoir depletion and maintain consistent production levels, the project involves the installation of four front-end gas compressors at the Nashpa Gas Processing Plant. Each compressor is designed for 35 MMSCFD operating capacity, with a configuration philosophy of 3 operating units and 1 standby to ensure continuous gas handling without interruptions. Lead I&C design and engineering for the compression system and its integration with the existing plant.

MFM Mogas Project (PARCO, Pakistan)

The project involved the modification and addition to the existing 26-inch diameter, 870 km pipeline and associated equipment and facilities at existing stations to enable the receipt, storage, pumping, and transportation of a new hydrocarbon product (gasoline), in addition to diesel. The upgraded system allows for batch-wise transportation of gasoline and diesel through the existing cross-country pipeline from Mahmood Kot station (Muzzaffar Garh) to Faisalabad and Machike stations.

Wellhead Development Projects for Latif-1, Latif-2, and SNH-1 Wellheads (OMV, Pakistan).

The projects involved the development of new wellhead facilities and the installation and integration of critical equipment and packaged systems to support upstream gas production. Led the complete I&C engineering scope, including the design of wellhead instrumentation, Wellhead Control Panels (WHCPs), RTUs, F&G System, Communication System, and integration with the existing SCADA System for remote monitoring and controlling.

Wellhead Compression Projects for Latif 1, Latif 2, Latif 5, Latif-7, Latif 6, Latif-North-1, Latif-9, and Miano-15, Tajjal 1, and Tajjal 4 Wellhead (OMV, Pakistan).

The projects covered multiple well sites, including Latif-1, Latif-2, Latif-5, Latif-6, Latif-7, Latif-North-1, Latif-9, Miano-15, Tajjal-1, and Tajjal-4, aimed at enhancing gas production through the installation of wellhead compression facilities. The scope involved the installation and integration of gas compressor packages at the wellheads, along with the gas coolers, sour gas conditioning skids, and chemical injection (CI) skids.

Led the complete I&C engineering scope, including the design of off-package instrumentation, F&G detection, integration of the gas compressor PLC with the wellhead RTU for local control, and data acquisition of the Safety Shutdown System via fiber optic, with the fiber optic-based existing SCADA system.

LPG Air Mix Plants (SSGC, Pakistan).

The project involved the installation of 27 new LPG Air Mix plants across various remote and far-flung areas to provide synthetic natural gas (SNG) to consumers in locations without access to the conventional gas distribution network. These standalone plants blend LPG with air to simulate natural gas, enabling the delivery of a reliable energy source to underserved regions. I led the I&C design and engineering for all 27 LPG Air Mix plants, ensuring standardization and operational consistency.
