In the world of oil and gas EPC, success is often measured in numbers: millions of man-hours logged, modules delivered, deadlines met, or dollars saved. These metrics matter — they drive accountability, competitiveness, and progress. But after 19 years on construction sites, offshore platforms, and fabrication yards across three continents, I’ve come to believe that true success cannot be reduced to numbers alone. Real success lies in vision, safety, and legacy.

Mega-projects in the oil and gas industry are a paradox. On one hand, they are marvels of human ingenuity — modular LNG plants, offshore jackets, and chemical recycling facilities that redefine what’s possible. On the other, they are incredibly complex organisms, with thousands of moving parts, interdependent systems, and stakeholders spread across continents.

When people think of oil and gas mega-projects, the first images that come to mind are towering offshore jackets, sprawling modular yards, and the intricate web of piping systems. Steel, machinery, and engineering dominate the conversation. But in nearly two decades of delivering projects across the Middle East, Europe, and Africa, I’ve come to realize a simple truth: mega projects are not built by steel and concrete alone — they are built by people.
