Director, UK
Alex joined 2H Offshore in 2004 and has been a UK Director since 2011, based in 2H’s London Office. He is jointly responsible for 2H’s European offices and engineering activities across the EMEA regions.
Alex is a Chartered Engineer with the IMechE and holds a first-class Master of Engineering degree from the University of Bath. He has over 20 years of project execution and management experience developed at 2H and in previous roles.
He is a recognised subject matter expert in dynamic subsea system analysis and engineering and provides technical oversight and consultancy to a broad range of deep and shallow water energy projects. He specialises in all types of drilling, completion and production riser systems, as well as platform well and subsea well systems. For the past 5 years, he has primarily been driving forward 2H UK's floating wind (coupled analysis, power cables, moorings and anchor piles) and CCUS well activities, but continues to support the projects in oil and gas as well.
He has been involved in many challenging and innovative offshore subsea and renewable developments. His energy sector highlights include BP’s Block 31 PSVM and Total’s Kaombo hybrid riser detailed designs, Total’s West of Shetland UK subsea development and many of Aker BP’s well platforms in Norway. Renewable energy highlights include support to industry initiatives with ORE Catapult on floating wind HV power cables, and several pioneering wave energy and floating wind platforms and developments.
Senior Engineer
Pedro is a senior engineer in 2H's Aberdeen office with over ten years of experience in the oil and gas industry, Pedro specialises in well engineering and has expertise in casing and tubing design, drilling mechanics, and real-time monitoring and analysis.
Since joining 2H, Pedro has worked in some of the industry's most critical HPHT wells in the North Sea. His commitment to excellence and innovation has enabled him to collaborate with diverse clients worldwide, enhancing their capabilities by providing insights and expert opinions, and optimising project development and client workflows using industry best practices.
Principal Engineer
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.
Our experience with subsea dynamic loading, down hole tubular assessment and extensive background in fracture mechanics combine to offer a unique well engineering capability, modelling combined loads from the vessel, environment and the well itself. Using finite element analysis, we can zoom in on tubular sections and specific components of the well. When applied to full life cycle modelling, this extremely accurate approach allows us to develop the most cost-effective well designs and aids decision-making on the operation of existing wells.
For well abandonment projects, we collaborate with sister company Claxton to combine virtual and physical aspects to create the best real-life solutions.
