PDVSA 1982 to 1998

Venezuelan Oil Industry: Project Control Engineer, coordinating multi-task projects, related to production upgrade; Refinery, Petrochemical plants, gas, and oil industry in Venezuela. He was retired in Dec 1998. Main Projects were:

PEQUIVEN EXECUTIVE TASK FORCE 1994 to 1998

Asigned to “Gerencia de Evaluaciones Económicas y Financieras” of PEQUIVEN/PDVSA. He was responsible for Feasibilities Studies, Project Portfolio Evaluation by using the Capital Pricing Assets Model, Business and Joint Venture Valuation, Projects Financial Risk Analysis, Project Reviews, coordination and evaluation of multi-task projects, related to production upgrade and maintenance, in Refinery and Petrochemical plants in Venezuela.

RESILIN PROJECT 1991 to 1994

It was a Polyethylene Plant with 110K AMT and $300 million of Total Installation Cost (TIC). Mr Pernalete was Assigned to work in ABB LUMMUS GLOBAL INC, In Houston Texas as project coordinator, sponsored by PDVSA. In this assignment a cost reduction of $ 17 million was achieved by reviewing the Cost Estimate and monitoring the Engineering and Procurement activities, by using the Value Engineering Concept.

NURGAS PROJECT 1985 to 1991

It was a 30-Inch Gas Pipeline 1,200-Km long, including three Compressor Plants. The Total Installation Cost exceeded $400 million. For this project Mr. Pernalete was in charge of coordinating a 15 engineer team (peak), divided in three groups: Planning and Scheduling, Cost Control; and Costs Estimating and Budgeting control.

In this assignment a saving cost of about 30% was performed by changing the longitudinal seamed pipe for spiral well seamed pipe as result of value engineering study Performed together with the corrosion and mechanical specialist.

DSMA PROJECT 1982 to 1985

The scope of work consisted in building a Refinery for heavy oil upgrading with experimental Oil production blocks, Oil transportation system (Pipe Line) in the Southside part of Venezuela; with a Total Installation Cost of $25 billion.

Main duties included reviewing and developing, together with SNC from Canada (as part of in-house training program): the Project Execution Plan; the WBS and Code of Account for the project scope of work; Project Control Procedures.
