In charge of managing Xecta's product line oriented to unconventional reservoirs, focused on field surveillance and production optimization using hybrid physics-based and machine-learning models.During my tenure, started the initial rollover of the product and successfully executed four subsequent releases, which became the top revenue center in the company.This was a multifunctional role which involved actively working in developing new concepts and R&D, prototyping and testing, and leading various customer engagement projects through executing POC (proof of concepts) and POV (proof of value).As a product owner/manager, directly responsible of developing and implementing the solution, leading a cross-functional team of software developers, data engineers, UX designers and petroleum engineers using Agile practices.Actively worked on developing algorithms to tackle following problems:- Well performance analysis using DTOF (diffusive time of flight approach) and material balance- Automated PI-based production forecasting- Unsupervised learning of well's performance through dynamic clustering- Continuous IPR (e.g. well deliverability under varying depletion stages)- Gas Lift Optimization- PVT analysis- Automatic end-to-end BHP calculation for full well life cycle- Production optimization for network systems- Hybrid BHP calculation (combining empirical or mechanistic correlations with ML)Responsible for executing projects with US-based customer to apply workflows in Bakken, Eagle Ford, Woodford, Haynesville and Permian Midland, where I analyzed thousands of wells. Also assisted offshore projects (Gulf of Mexico).

Supported transition of IPSO Onshore (digital oilfield platform for unconventional reservoirs) and various data analytics initiatives, post-Anadarko acquisition by Oxy

The Woodlands, Tx, Us

Responsible for the design, development and deployment of IPSO (Integrated Production Surveillance and Optimization), a digital oilfield platform for unconventional fields successfully deployed in the Delaware Basin and Powder River Basin assets, focused on horizontal well performance analysis, artificial lift optimization, field surveillance and operations. In 18 months since first deployment, expanded to more than 100 active users, achieving multi-million dollars in tangible cost savings.As a member of Anadarko’s center of excellence for data analytics and application of emerging technologies, actively participated in various projects collaborating with various asset teams and Exploration:• Rapid basin evaluation and competitive intelligence with multivariate analysis• Application of data analytics and predictive modeling for corporate portfolio resource estimation• Downtime estimation• Competitor analysis and benchmarking• Design of a corporate data strategy • Academia involvement (technical contact for several university and industry research consortia)

In this role, I developed project-based experience in the following Anadarko's Onshore assets:- Maverick Basin (Eagle Ford)- DJ Basin (Wattenberg Field)- Delaware Basin- Marcellus- Haynesville- Other base Onshore assetsMostly a technical role, I implemented classical reservoir engineering analysis methods (E.g. RTA, PTA, decline curve analysis) and data analytics for reservoir characterization and production prediction, aimed at defining an optimal development strategy.Supported Anadarko's internal tools for production surveillance and analysis, and created an automated workflow to forecast production, which has become a company standard solution.Also supported multiple teams with training and mentoring on classical reservoir engineering and statistics topics.
