Manjunatha Ananda Hegde

I am a results-driven Terminal Operator and Mechanical Engineering Diploma holder with over 9 years of progressive experience in crude oil terminal operations, tank farm management, marine loading, and custody transfer activities. I have managed high-volume crude export operations up to 100,000 BPD, supervised barge and vessel loading, and ensured accurate stock reconciliation while maintaining strict HSE compliance. With international experience in Nigeria at Sterling Oil Exploration & Energy Production Ltd and prior terminal operations leadership at Aegis Vopak Terminals Ltd, I bring strong expertise in tank line-ups, flow meter and prover calibration, loss control, laboratory quality checks, and emergency response coordination. I am recognized for maintaining zero-incident performance, minimizing stock variances, and leading safe, efficient shift operations in demanding oil and gas environments.

I have over 9 years of total professional experience in crude oil terminal and tank farm operations. I am currently working with Sterling Oil Exploration & Energy Production Ltd in Nigeria, where I manage crude export operations up to 100,000 BPD, supervise marine loading, handle custody transfer activities, and ensure stock reconciliation with strict HSE compliance. Previously, I worked with Aegis Vopak Terminals Ltd in India, leading terminal operations involving petroleum and chemical product handling, vessel loading/unloading, tank gauging, pigging, and PTW implementation. I also began my career in mechanical maintenance, which strengthened my technical understanding of equipment and operations. Overall, I bring strong operational expertise, international exposure, and a proven record of safe and efficient terminal operations.

I completed my Diploma in Mechanical Engineering from N.R.A.M Polytechnic, Nitte in 2017. Prior to that, I finished my PUC (Science) from Dr. NSAM PU College in 2014 and my SSLC from Jain High School in 2012. My educational background in mechanical engineering has provided me with strong technical fundamentals that support my career in terminal and tank farm operations.
