Born in Bintulu, Abigail holds a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering and began her career at Shell through the Shell Graduate Programme. She started as the Rotating Equipment engineer in charge of the E11 gas hub and later worked on the F23 gas hub before supporting the Malikai development as its Rotating Equipment Engineer. Her offshore role mainly involves on-site supervision, where she coordinates contractors to execute specific maintenance scopes, ensuring everyone is aligned with their tasks for safe, efficient, and timely delivery.

Abigail typically spends about two to four weeks offshore during her rotation. According to her, rotating equipment is often referred to as the “heart of an oil and gas facility”, and due to its criticality, she would mobilise offshore every other month to manage various maintenance scopes.
