Chukwudi Ogwumike

I am a Chemical Engineering graduate from Covenant University, class of 2024, with a strong foundation in energy management, process controls, and instrumentation. My academic journey has equipped me with the necessary skills to thrive in the upstream and midstream oil and gas sectors. I am committed to continuous growth and development, eager to apply my knowledge in real-world scenarios.

During my internship at Seplat Energy, I played a crucial role in ensuring the efficient flow of petroleum products nationwide. I collaborated with a multidisciplinary team on various projects, updated piping and instrumentation diagrams, and actively participated in HAZOP meetings. This experience not only enhanced my technical skills but also honed my ability to communicate effectively within a team.

Currently, I am involved in a significant project where we are designing a process to produce 40,000 tons/year of methanol from syngas obtained from flare gas. This project has allowed me to conduct material and energy balance calculations, utilize ASPEN Plus for design and simulation, and perform cost analysis to demonstrate economic feasibility. I am excited about the opportunities that lie ahead in my career.
