PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

TIVENCA (2007 – February 2010).

Position: Engineer III, Technical Proposals

• Responsible for developing Technical and Commercial Proposal, wining almost 99% of the Proposals.

• Responsible for developing a technical proposal in accordance with the RFQ submitted by the client.

• Coordination and Monitoring in the preparation of multidisciplinary technical Proposals: - Assurance and Quality Control, - MH calculation and product list Estimation for mechanical department.

• Development of implementation plans and strategies for the projects requested through proposals.

• Negotiation with national and international partners for the performance of tenders and subsequent execution of projects.

• Support the Marketing Manager on the recommendation of technical bids.

GASUR (2003 - 2007).

Position: Marketing and Computer Coordinator.

• Planning, scheduling, controlling and following up to the inclusion of new clients (budgets, payment agreements).

• Coordinating and planning Marketing activities (New Client Acquisition).

• Controlling and following up to the automation procedures of the Foundation.

• Coordinating the preparation of the work Procedure Manuals.

PDVSA (1999 – 2003).

Position: Production Optimization Engineer

• Assessing and optimizing artificial lift systems for more than 200 production wells, obtaining the expected production recovery.

• Contributing to accomplish daily production objectives, by close analysis of oil wells with decreasing in production, and identify opportunities to increase revenues in Rosa Mediano field (well optimization, changes in oil production method, work-over, and increase productivity index). Saving around $1,000,000 per year.

• Oil and Gas Production Operations including heavy and medium crude oil wells. Monitoring, analysis, troubleshooting and optimization for Oil and gas field.

• Experience using Oil and Gas's Software packages such as WELLFLOW and FIELDFLOW, allowing reduce time response in design completion and well diagnosis, recovering rapidly lost production.

• Changing the method of continuous gas lift into intermittent gas lift for more than 100 production wells with an approximate saving of 5.0 mmscfgd of gas lift.

• Increasing the production through the installation of a surface jet pump.

• Supervising and coordinating the control room of La Salina Exploitation Unit, thus allowing the continuous monitoring of 990 wells, 14 flow stations and 80000 bpd.
