The PPDM Association has recognized our very own Tom Duong as Volunteer of the Month for his commitment to advancing O&G operations and leadership. Building on prior PPDM methodology, Tom led a team of volunteers and researchers to explore where a clear catalog of “facility” facets can be articulated, coherent for both Operators and regulators.

Tom is the PPDM Association’s October 2020 Volunteer of the Month. Tom is the Chair of the “What is a Facility” Feasibility Study, a study completed in only 10 weeks to understand what would be involved in disambiguating the term Facility. “Tom is a fabulous team player. His team is awesome and equally supportive. Tom is always willing to do extra to help out and stepped into a leadership role without hesitation,” said Ingrid Kristel, Senior Project Manager at the PPDM Association. “His presentation at the September Forum explained everything we did in the Feasibility study perfectly. Tom is an all around great guy!”

Tom Duong is a software product manager at Assetas and has over 20 years in upstream and midstream work, including well completion, data systems, and environmental compliance. His current interest is the intersection of technology and end users, including external stakeholders, and how that relationship is shaping system re-thinking. Tom was the co-founder of Ecocion and helped to track 20% of the greenhouse data submitted to the US EPA of behalf of E&P companies. Tom and the What Is a Facility Feasibility Study Team look forward to member comment on the results of their hard work.
