Ricky Thethi
Global Director, UK
About
Ricky is a Global Director based in 2H's London office having relocated from Houston in 2019 after spending almost 20 years in 2H’s Houston office as part of the management team.
Ricky is responsible for globalising the company’s integrity engineering capability and business across all of its offices in both the oil and gas and offshore wind sectors. One of his current focuses is digital transformation, including the use of machine learning and automation technology to improve the speed and accuracy of structural analysis, integrity monitoring and life extension.
Ricky obtained his degree in civil engineering with first-class honours from the University of Surrey in the UK, and is a fellow and Chartered Marine Engineer of the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology.

Pete Padelopoulos
Senior Technical Consultant, USA
About
Pete is a Chartered Engineer with over 20 years’ experience in deep water riser design, manufacturing, testing, supply and offshore installation. He has multiple years’ project management experience managing pre-FEED, FEED, detailed design and equipment delivery scopes of work with teams of 5-25 engineers. He has also been seconded to operators as part of the technical site teams responsible for riser equipment delivery.
He has extensive experience with engineering, procurement, construction and installation of subsea and deep-water riser systems (SCR, SLWR, TTR, free-standing, flexible and drilling) with emphasis on component design and specification, package management, fabrication, qualification testing, delivery management and offshore installation. He has personally overseen the delivery of bespoke push-up tensioner system and integrally forged/machined tension joints focusing on the technical oversight of supplier design and complex manufacturing processes of components, overseeing design qualification testing, final assembly and hull integration and commissioning.

Daniel Reagan
Principal Engineer
About
Daniel has over 18 years’ experience in deep water riser design, manufacturing, testing, supply, offshore installation and inspection. He has extensive experience in global riser analysis, riser system strength and fatigue evaluation and spent several years designing, supplying and installing monitoring systems for top tensioned risers, steel catenary risers, subsea jumpers, manifolds and tensioner systems.
His current focus is managing the design, manufacturing, quality, testing and delivery of subsea hardware, of which he has personally overseen the delivery of more than $75M of subsea equipment. As well as subsea equipment delivery management, he has been involved in several specialty subsea NDE inspection campaigns including the development, testing and offshore inspection of critical subsea infrastructure. As the offshore installation lead on numerous projects, he has been involved with multiple subsea systems working with operators and drilling contractors to install equipment in accordance with procedures and safe working practices.
Responsive team of problem-solvers
Our multi-disciplinary engineering and field service personnel have extensive experience in
complex offshore systems and integrity engineering. Because we are independent and know what to look for, we perform assessments quickly and often under extreme deadlines whilst providing unbiased mitigation solutions.
Root cause identification and remediation
We perform forensic engineering in the event of failure incidents to identify root causes, recommend design modifications and deliver remedial solutions. We offer turnkey design and delivery of integrity mitigation solutions using an agile and flexible supply chain cultivated over many years of integrity remediation projects to meet extreme project schedules.
Common issues
Degradation of the riser pipe, coatings or seals
Aircan and buoyancy can leaks and failures
Mechanical connection failures
Leaks due to excessive loading or corrosion
Excessive movement on seabed
