Due to the large number of production engineer demand in Australia, the number of engineers aspiring for skilled migration to Australia also increased. Therefore we build a CDR (Competency Demonstration Report) sample for production engineers to support them with Engineers Australia migration skills assessment.

Project: Design of Production Wells
The author make clear that The overall aims of this project was to develop The curtin Offshore Field by using skills learned in the unit. Curtin offshore field consist two main reservoir J16 and J18 with top true vertical depth subsea(TVSS) 4180ft and 4330ft respectively. Lithology of this reservoirs was consolidated and well sorted sand stone so this reservoirs had higher porosity and permeability. These reservoirs had minimum clay content which increase towards top of the reservoirs. His roles and responsibilities were:
- ⭐Making simulation model
- ⭐Doing calculation to choose correct casings and tubing size
- ⭐Reporting the progress of the project to Dr. Moffazal every week and recording into log book
- ⭐Communicating the findings with Rui every week
- ⭐Giving the presentation front of department staffs
- ⭐Providing two pages of extended summary report

Project: Designing & Optimization of an Ammonia Production Plant
The project “Designing & Optimization of an Ammonia Production Plant” was done by the author during his study at Curtin University, Bently, Western Australia, Australia. He explains that the overall aims of this project was to develop Simulation model for production of Ammonia from the sysn gas by using skills learned in the unit. He played the following roles to discharge his responsibilities:
- ⭐Developing simulation model using ASPEN Hysys software
- ⭐Optimising the production plant for desired production at least cost
- ⭐Optimising the production plant in terms of energy saving
- ⭐Reporting project progress to the supervisor weekly and recording evidence in the logbook
- ⭐Communicating simulation findings with the group member every week
- ⭐Conducting comprehensive research and reading reference books to learn advanced software skills
- ⭐Making engineering assumptions regarding feed temperature, pressure, and pressure drops
- ⭐Employing case studies to iterate variables for selecting the correct PFR tube diameter
- ⭐Calculating the optimal number of reactor tubes using inner and outer area dimensions
- ⭐Introducing a recycle stream to increase the process conversion rate

- ⭐Consulting with specialist lecturers to choose correct separator type according to crude oil properties
- ⭐Arranging meetings with a mechanical engineering professor to understand advanced mechanical terms
- ⭐Selecting standard AISI 1065 Carbon Steel material based on safety, cost, and mechanical properties
- ⭐Calculating minimum vessel thickness including an extra allowance for environmental corrosion
- ⭐Determining vessel dead weight and dead weight stresses using Sinnott’s engineering theories
- ⭐Calculating total axial stress and total shear stress acting on the separator vessel
- ⭐Designing skirt support system thickness to withstand wind and dead-weight loadings
- ⭐Deciding correct line sizing, project planning, and scheduling with other group members
- ⭐Documenting all project proceedings, meeting minutes, and progress evidence using MS Office programs
- ⭐Delivering a group PowerPoint presentation followed by a five-minute question and answer session
