EMPLOYMENT HISTORY

Reservoir Engineer

Chevron Corp. Gulf of Mexico. Covington, LA January 2011-May 2013

Coordinated the improvement and implementation on the methodology for the worst case discharge (WCD) calculations in the Gulf of Mexico business unit.

Provided mentoring to ARM team members for the principles for the WCD and for the macro use workflow to create a GAP models to generate the calculations.

Work closely with the specialist on generating the tool for the WCD calculations in order to make an easy interface for the users

Published an article “Automating Worst Case Discharge Calculations” in the 3rd quarter 2011 GoM newsletter

Participated and presented methodology in the company forum: “General procedure for worst case discharge calculations required for BOEM new drill approval”

Performed a WCD calculations for different wells in GoM deepwater and shelf fields, since is a new regulation established by the United States government after Macondo disaster for any new drill in the Gulf of Mexico, Pacific and Alaska.

Organized and facilitated a workshop about the WCD calculations.

Completed reservoir analysis in several GoM fields

Worked in a PTA project for a deepwater field (Genesis).

Worked on the simulation model in Chears for two different oil field in GoM (Main Pass 30, 9100 sand and BayMarchand, 7600V sand)

Worked on the simulation for oil field in GoM (MP41, 9200 sand), initial review the geological model, prepare and compile all the data, generate a database with the shut-in periods by well, prepare the production profile in Chears format.

Reservoir Engineer

Chevron Corp. Venezuela, Trinidad & Tobago. Puerto La Cruz, Venezuela. January 2009–June 2010

Build material balance and IPM models for dry gas field (Starfish, Dolphin) and gas field (Block 5C Loran Manatee)

Worked on the simulation model in Eclipse for dry gas field (Dolphin).

Prepared the forecast for Block 5C, made a synergy with other disciplines in the department

Assisted on the business plan process preparing information for the planning department

Updated the production information file and generate a spreadsheet with the production information by field.

Prepare a database for oil field Dolphin field in Microsoft office access, with all the available information by wells (mechanical diagram, drilling phases, tops and contacts, core data) and field

Analyze the pressure behavior by sand for Dolphin field to define the hydraulics units

Organized the safety meeting of the subsurface team.

Maintained the communication with the partner on the project to define together the development plan for the field.

Made networking with BG (partner of the project for Dolphin field) simulation engineer, made observations in the model that they considered to apply the changes on it. Maintained the communication to define together the development plan for the field.

Reservoir Engineer

Petromonagas, Puerto la Cruz, Venezuela. August 2008–December 2008

Work as a Reservoir Engineer for a heavy oil field (Cerro Negro).

Generated data inventory.

Analyzed data validation.

Updated production information in the database.

Generated projects in OFM, load new and validated data.

Implemented a methodology to standardize the study in the different areas of the field.

Collaborated with geologists and engineers regarding design parameters for new wells

Reservoir Engineer Jr.

Petroleum Services de Venezuela, C.A Puerto la Cruz, Venezuela. September 2004–August 2008

Work as Reservoir Engineer Jr. providing support to Senior Engineer on the evaluation for different fields (dry gas, condensate, oil) for Anaco District

Built production information and reservoir engineer characterization databases for different reservoirs

Validated production for a gas field (Zapato Mata R)

Prepared the input data for Eclipse and Petrel format

Prepared wells history

Analyzed communication test, pressure

Imported data to Openwork

Created projects in OFM, and import the validated information

Generated geological sections in Crossection and correlation software from Openworks

Loaded logs curves into Petrel

Translated reports (English-Spanish) for the client

Reservoir Engineer Jr.

Tecnoconsult. Caracas, Venezuela. September 2003– February 2004

Work as a Reservoir Engineer Junior providing support to Senior Engineer on the evaluation for oil field (San Cristobal)

Review and organize the data available

Generated well logs using AutoCad from digitalize well logs

Generated stratigraphic and structural sections

Generated wells history

Analyzed RFT pressure

Validated PVT data

Analyzed and integrated RFT-PVT

Support on nodal analysis

Support on economics

Generated production forecast

Prepared reports

Student

PDVSA,Exploracion & Produccion. Puerto La Cruz, Venezuela. September 2002– September 2003

Static and dynamic model in the reservoir B3/GG-63, in the Guara-Oeste field. San Tome District.
