About Ali Ruiz

I have over 21 years of experience as a dedicated operational geologist working for national oil and gas companies in Venezuela and Saudi Arabia (PDVSA) (ARAMCO). I spent the majority of my career in Venezuela working in the eastern extra-heavy oil region, holding positions ranging from field geologist to reservoir supervisor while also participating in projects at various stages of development, from established fields to fresh joint ventures. I began working for Aramco Conventional Assets in the Geosteering Operational Center in 2017 and since 2018 I have been doing same activities, but with Aramco Unconventional Assets, both as a Senior Geosteerer. I have a wealth of experience dealing with clastic-carbonatic plays, horizontal extended reach drilling, wireline supervision, onshore operations, budgeting, cost estimation, well planning, writing geological well programs, and being able to handle multiple tasks in various work environments.My background includes reservoir development, planning & business strategy, and contract for field services negotiations. I am adept to operations, and able to build strategic relationships and partnerships with shareholders, clients, vendors and public institutions.
