On behalf of a major U.S. oil company, analyzed an owner’s damages resulting from the delayed installation of an oil production facility due to defects in the fabrication of shackles. Identified the owner’s direct costs and time-related costs from its job cost project files. Analyzed the owner’s project CPM schedules to identify critical path delays associated with the work to replace the defective mooring shackles.

Reviewed engineering work processes used by a major engineering company and a major oil company associated with the design of offshore oil and gas production facilities. Recommended clauses to resolve potential inconsistencies, ambiguities, and conflicts. Prepared clauses for cost and schedule control procedures.

On behalf of an owner, evaluated a contractor’s $87 million delay and disruption/loss of productivity claim resulting from alleged design changes to a semi-submersible hull and mooring system project for an offshore oil and gas production facility that was fabricated in Norway for installation in the Gulf of Mexico. Evaluated contractor’s entitlement to unresolved change orders and contractor’s alleged delays associated with owner interference, late owner approvals, ABS approval delays, and out-of-sequence work. Prepared an expert report and testified in arbitration.

On behalf of an owner, evaluated outstanding contractual payments, unresolved change orders, and alleged delay costs alleged by a contractor for the fabrication, transportation, and installation of Pipeline End Terminations and Jumpers for an offshore oil production facility.

Performed an analysis in support of an owner’s claim against an international EPC contractor’s performance, delays, and $100 million cost overrun regarding a Spar production facility that was fabricated in Finland for installation in the Gulf of Mexico. Issues involved material delays, welding rework, quadrupling of labor man-hours, wet mating of hard and soft tank/truss, delay, liquidated damages, conversion of contract issues, and related damages.
