Argentina

Checked and validated Pipephase and ARPM models of the field (water network, oil pipeline network, gas network, flow stations, plants). In charged of the alignment of the models with major capital projects. Worked with IT, operations and maintenance departments in order to implement ARPM / Pipephase models connected with Scada system in El Trapial Field. Head of the project from Buenos Aires, in charge of solving any issue regarding AFE, IT, contract.

Elaborate AFE’s for capital and operational costs authorizations. Maintain relations with departments involve in projects such as maintenance, warehouse and operations.Process EngineerGreenhouse Gas Reduction Project (September 2004 – November 2005)Perform inventories of vented gas across the field: flow stations, wells and dehydration plants. Simulate gas network using Pipephase, generate alternatives to reduce bottlenecks in the network. Propose and evaluate alternatives to reduce vented gas in tanks, wells and vent stacks. Evaluate gas network to collect vented gas from wells and tanks.

Greater Buenos Aires, Argentina

Developed models for the water injection network with Pipephase. Give alternatives to improve network and solve injection problems. Give recommendations to improve facilities in order to achieve water injection target.

Zulia Area, Venezuela

Facilities Engineering Department. September 2003 – June 2004Thesis Optimization of the twin screw pumping systems performance of the Boscan Field flow stations.Evaluated new operational mode for flow stations in the field to stop venting gas in tanks. Simulate flow stations using HYSYS, performing calculations to avoid cavitation in pumps. Do physical test by installing pipes to bypass the tank and directly feed charge pumps. Do physical test to prove reliability of the new operational mode, measuring vibration levels in pumps and proving control loops.InternshipHealth, Safety and Environment Department. June 2003 – September 2003Developed Waste Characterization Manual. Locate and develop plan to close crude pits around the field.
