Henry HOOPER

With over 30 years of industry experience, I have developed extensive knowledge and expertise across a broad range of mechanical equipment, with a particular focus on gas compression systems. My experience also encompasses mechanical equipment packages in diverse environments, including onshore facilities (shipyards, construction sites, refineries, power stations, pharmaceutical plants) and offshore installations (ships, rigs, FPSOs, platforms), covering both upstream and downstream operations.

My career has spanned multiple roles and levels of responsibility, including Draughtsman, Project Engineer, Instrument Engineer, Commissioning Engineer, Mechanical/Package Engineer, and Rotating Equipment Engineer. I have progressed through senior positions such as Senior, Principal, Lead, Technical Authority, Consultant Engineer, Chief Engineer, and PMC Engineer, contributing across all project phases: Concept, Concept Select, FEED, and Detailed Engineering.

I possess a strong working knowledge of relevant national and international standards, codes, and practices for rotating equipment packages in the marine, pharmaceutical, oil, gas, and power generation sectors. This includes expertise in ISO  and API standards (610, 613, 614, 616, 617, 618, 619, 674, 675, 692) and corporate specifications such as Aramco (SAMMS, SAES), TotalEnergies (GS), and Shell (DEP).

Leveraging my multidisciplinary background, I have a solid understanding of materials and fabrication processes, as well as the properties of gases and liquids. I am proficient in the principles and operation of a wide range of equipment and technologies, including reactors, scrubbers, gas turbines, cranes, marine loading arms, valves (control and manual), instrumentation, piping system design, heat exchangers, refrigeration units, separation equipment, pumps, and, most notably, gas compressors.
