EDUCATION

M.S., 2010, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Bogotá Colombia, Geophysics Thesis Topic: Decomposition and Spectral Analysis for 3D seismic data to identify geomorphological features and fluids responses, in Eastern Llanos Basin in Colombia. B.S., 2006, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Bogotá Colombia, Geology EXPERIENCE

September 2014-Present: Petrophysicist, Schlumberger, Houston, TX.

• Perform open hole log analysis for non-conventional plays in real time to classify the heterogeneity of the reservoir in a specific interval.

• Assessment of the reservoir quality for non-conventional plays through log analysis, petrophysical core data modeling and estimation of hydrocarbons in place.

• Analysis of core data acquired by quantitative and semi-quantitative techniques at the laboratory in a range of scales from the centimeters to the nanometers.

• Modeling of mechanical properties for completion quality to optimized completion strategies.

• Integration of petrophysical and mechanical continuous high-resolution core data in single well modeling.

• Collaborate with project engineers to determine the most adequate testing programs for reservoir characterization assessment.

• Perform multi-well reservoir quality and completion quality analysis of proposed exploration areas to identify targets in non-conventional basins.

• Monitor the acquisition programs and standards application of petrophysical and mechanical core analysis to ensure consistent data quality.

• Interpretation in consultation with other earth science professionals of rock composition complexity due to lithological variability and post-deposition diagenetic processes.

• Promotion project: “Business Evaluation of the Confocal Laser Microscopy technique for the Schlumberger Reservoir Laboratories”

September 2011-August 2014: Research Associate, Schlumberger Doll Research, Cambridge, MA.

• Technical development of quantitative acquisition workflows for 2D and 3D imaging of thin sections using conventional transmitted light and Laser Scanning Confocal Microscopy.

• Application of image analysis techniques to quantify macro- vs. microporosity and determine pore size distribution in Middle East carbonate reservoirs.

• Design innovative imaging workflows for unconventional reservoir lithologies using conventional transmitted light, reflected light, fluorescence, and confocal microscopy.

• Support several research projects including textural and petrophysical parameters as pore size, grain size aspect ratio from 2D image analysis, and mercury injection capillary pressure from lab data, on conventional and unconventional reservoirs.

• Analysis of mercury injection capillary pressure data and their application to the carbonate reservoir.

• Core sample preparation of non-conventional formations samples for geochemical and physical analysis. Integration of elemental analysis, TOC, RockEval, quantitative mineralogy (DRIFTS, FT-IR), porosity, and specific surface area.
