Key Personnel
Phil Ward
Technical Manager, UK

About
Phil has over 15’ years of offshore energy experience and is technical manager of 2H’s Edinburgh office. In this role, he is responsible for the growth of 2H’s business in the Greater Edinburgh and Central Belt areas of Scotland, particularly in the offshore wind sector.
Phil started his career with Jee Ltd. before joining 2H in Aberdeen in 2011. During his time at 2H, Phil has held numerous roles from engineer to director. Phil led 2H’s presence in Aberdeen for five years before relocating to 2H's Houston office in 2019 with the goal of cross-populating experience with shallow and deepwater systems.
Phil has project management and technical leadership experience on a variety of projects from concept through to life extension, including the use of field data to verify subsea systems for continued use, subsea wellhead fatigue mitigations, and design optimisation of platform wells and deepwater production risers.
Phil holds a master’s degree in Engineering from Cambridge University, and is a Chartered Engineer and Member of the Institute of Mechanical Engineers.

Insights
A multidisciplinary team with a complete systems approach
Our multidisciplinary team of engineers understands all the components and interfaces involved in subsea systems. We do not look at components in isolation but consider all aspects of the project from design to delivery to installation to operations. This enables us to develop the optimal solution that will maximise performance.
Adding value with data and digitalisation
We have a track record of advancing engineering design and analysis methods to meet the offshore industry’s increasing design challenges. We have developed innovative analytical processes that increase accuracy and enable subsea solutions that were previously not feasible.
We are currently working on subsea projects that use measured data to better understand subsea system response and improve the accuracy and efficiency of our analysis and design. This approach eliminates conservatism in loads meaning we are not over-engineering unnecessarily costly solutions.
We are using machine learning for the design, integrity management and life extension of subsea structures which is helping mitigate risk and improve performance while keeping costs down. Innovative technologies such as our subsea jumper digital twin is adding value by offering improved visibility of production operations.
