SUMMARY:
Over 9 years of experience developing engineering optimization and productivity tasks in oil
fields of light, heavy and extra-heavy oil, specifically in the design, evaluation and diagnosis of
artificial lift systems. I have participated in projects aimed at the search improvements in Rod
Pump, GL, PCP and ESP. Also, I worked with the diagnostic of damage formation, and
evaluation for the application of stimulation work. My different positions have allowed me to
interact in reservoir evaluation works, interpretation of geological data, wells services
operations, repair and drilling of wells. Additionally, I have worked in the elaboration of
technical specifications for the procurement of artificial lift systems and completion
equipment.
In the region south western of Gulf of Mexico, I participated as Productivity Engineer in the technologic
wells planning Project in the Abkatun Pol Chuc and Littoral active, to incorporate technological
improvements that contribute in enhancing of the productivity wells. Additionally, I executed projects of
evaluations to the integral model of wells and feasibility evaluation from artificial lift system.
