During my childhood, lived abroad: 3 years in Italy, 1 years in Argentina & 1 years in Brazil, always studying in International Schools.
Worked 4 years as Onshore/Ops Drilling Engineer on tender processes, SoW, internal manuals set up, regulatory issues, EIA, site surveys, geotechnical surveys, offset wells study, budgets, well designs, drilling programs, meetings with stakeholders, rig contracts, rig ITT, rig inspection and acceptance requirements, followed and revised daily drilling operations, EOWRs, and project close-out analysis.
As Wellsite Drilling Engineer followed the daily operations and elaborated the operational documents, such as, work instructions, lookahead, lessons learned, after action reviews, programmes, casing and cementing operations, invisible lost time, daily performance and detailed costs forecasts for additional operations (supplemental AFE). 2011 - to date GALP Energia – Well Engineer
Active contributor to the in-house Well Operations database. Follow-up of operations (drilling, testing, completions & workovers) of GALP assets in Portugal, Brazil, Angola, Mozambique, and Morocco. Exposed to different operational environments, from onshore to ultra-deep water operations, with a wide diversity of rigs, from workover land rigs, Jack-Up’s, Semi Submersibles to ultra-deep water dual activity Drillships.

Assigned to an offshore operation in Morocco (HDJU Rowan Ralph Coffman) as a Wellsite Drilling Engineer. MPD technology present on the rig as a contingency. Weatherford provided offshore MPD training for all personnel onboard. Onboard for wet tow from Las Palmas & preloading. Drilled 36” hole and set a 30” conductor. Drilled 26” hole and set a 20” surface casing. Drilled 17-1/2” hole and set a 13- 3/8” casing. Drilled 12-1/4” hole, with MPD as a contingency. No wireline logging required due to extensive M/LWD suite (SADN, GeoVision, GVR, Telescope), so just normal P&A. On-board geotechnical vessel to perform borehole drilling with CPT/PCPT technology, ensuring it was feasible to drill offshore Morocco with a JU. GALP Energia / HRT / Senergy – Operations & Wellsite Drilling Engineer 2013
Assigned to an offshore operation in Namibia (SS Transocean Marianas) as a Secondee. Spent time on the Operations Support Base and on the rig. Participated in the 3 well campaign from deep water to ultra-deep water environment in Walvis & Orange basins. Drilled Wingat in 1000m WD, Murombe in 1500m WD, and Moosehead in 2000m WD. Page 2/2
