Experienced Refinery Engineer, I have now a solid technical background after spending time as a Studies Engineer and Process Engineer.

I am currently following the refinery from an economical point of view by working in the performance control department. I am now making the link between the industrial performance of the refinery and the economics of the market in order to maximise the operational result of the profit center.

After the Ecole Centrale Paris, I followed The RIG program (RIG for "Raffinage, Ingénierie, Gaz" in French) at ENSPM which provides applied training covering all operations in the conversion of oil and gas into commercial products: not only motor and other fuels, but also a great variety of
products for non-energy uses (bitumens, lubricants, paraffins and waxes, solvents, raw materials for chemicals, etc.)

This training covers all aspects of the design and sizing of the installations, their use, as well as their day-to-day operation and their economic optimization.

ENSPM (Ecole Nationale Supérieure du Pétrole et Moteurs)(Apprenti pour Total)

Since 2006: TOTAL

Performance Control
In charge on producing the management information report of the refinery:

The main target are:

1) Assess the performance of the refinery versus the programme/budget.
2) Calibrate the LP model (linear programm), which will be used for the crude choice and for the economic optimisation of the refinery.
3) Orientate the work of the different departments to high value tasks (via the performance control meetings).
4) Produce the main refinery KPI's (key performance indicators).
5) Carry out the Salomon study (comparison of the major of the sector).

Performance control is leading the ambition plan, The target is to improve the revenue of the refinery by 10 million Euro per year without capex.
Sector: Petroleum - Exploration - Production - Refining

2004 - 2006 : TOTAL

Process Engineer
In charge on the process side of the crude units, Hydrotreating units and reforming units.

The main targets are:

1)Optimise the units at their constraints following the market demand and economics.
2) Give technical support to Operation departement.
3) Propose units revamp to increase the refinery competitivity.
4) Support the energy efficiency program to reduce emission and fuel consumption

Process Engineer are implementing the IWI project (improvement without investment). The target is to increase the revenue of the refinery by 1 Million Euro per year at constant capital cost.

The 1 Million Euro target has been reached for 2004 and 2005

I am one of the Total group Furnace group team leader, the aim is to define good pratices for Furnace management and fuel consumption reductions.

In charge of a Reseach Budjet of 100 000Euro per year
In charge of a Trouble shooting budjet of 100 000Euro per year.
Sector: Petroleum - Exploration - Production - Refining

2002 - 2004 : TOTAL

Studies Engineer
In charge of the "pre-studies" for the 2005 Turnaround and Inspection where refinery is stopped.

The main targets are:
1) Define pay back projects.
2) Prepare the conceptual phase of the project for detailled Engineering.

I mainly worked on the FCC and vaccum unit revamp. Where unit capacity increase and energy efficiency studies have been carried out and implemented with success.

The FCC capciity increased by 20m3/hr and the refinery EII (energy intensity index) deacreased by 1 point (equivalent to 10MW saving).

In parrallel, I was in charge of the Flare task force, Between 2002 and 2004 the refinery flaring reduced by 30%. The associated saving is 750 000Euro per year. And the CO2 emission saved are equivalent to the emission of 10.000 cars.
Sector: Petroleum - Exploration - Production - Refining
