Key Personnel
Phil Ward
Principal Engineer
About
Phil is a principal engineer in 2H’s Houston office. He holds a master’s degree in Engineering from Cambridge University and has 14 years’ experience in the oil and gas industry with various types of pipeline and riser designs, subsea structural monitoring systems, and late-life assessment techniques. Phil started his career with 2H in Aberdeen, and held the director position there before relocating to 2H Houston in 2019 with the goal of cross-populating experience with shallow and deep water systems. He has held numerous project management and technical leadership roles on a variety of projects from concept through to detailed design, including subsea wellhead fatigue mitigations, platform well design optimisation and thick-wall SCRs. Phil 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.
