- Develop Project Execution Plan of EPC Lum Sum project for a new 320 KBSD Diluent Recovery Unit and 260 KBSD Vacuum Distillation Unit. This is part of Horizon Project designed to increase the synthetic crude oil production from 110 KBCD to 250 KBCD- Performed economic evaluations of losses due to lower throughput, lower yields, higher operational costs or construction delays in order to define Liquidated Damages for VDU-DRU-HSU Project- Managed interface with internal stakeholders for the interconnection with existing units and development of Pre-commissioning Plan - Coordinate development of Basis for Design for Debottlenecking Studies of CNRL Upgrader (Atmospheric and Vacuum Distillation, Delayed Coker, Hydrotreaters, Sulphur Units, Utilities and Offsites in order to increase Synthetic Crude Oil Production by 30 KBSD - Coordinated with Licensor and Process Group the Study to Increase the capacity of 2 Hydrogen Production Units by 15%, Nitrogen Production Units by 1100 to 2400 sm3/h and evaluate changes required on the Flare System to support the 285 KBD Synthetic Crude Oil production

- Led the development of the Integrated Production Plan of the new Scotford Upgrader and the integration with existing Upgrader and Muskeg River Mine. This included identification of options for interconnection between new and existing units and defining strategy for the early start-up, testing and ramp-up of process units and crude and product management. This activity required coordination with Process, Operations, Economics & Planning, EPC contractors and Project Planning through various workshops in order to align activities, optimize the C&SU Schedule and identify/mitigate risks. This Plan covered Atmospheric & Vacuum Distillation, Hydrogen Manufacturing Unit, Sulphur Recovery Complex and Residue Hydrocracker- Led development of Test Plan at equipment, system and unit level during construction, commissioning, and start-up for the Scotford Upgrader Expansion Project to ensure reliability and achieve production targets - Developed the Scored Card for the new upgrader based on Solomon KPIs.

Maracaibo, Venezuela

- Account Manager for Chevron-Baker Energy contract to support Chevron Operations on Boscan oilfield. - Led marketing activities in Western Venezuela Division that improved positioning of the company as service provider for several Oil Producing Companies such as Chevron, BP and PDVSA

- Led team responsible for the design, execution and control of PDVSA product supply program from the refining system of Venezuela and Curacao to local and international market. This comprises 1.2 million barrels per day in one thousands shipments per year. Total sales 13.000 million USD / year- Led a team that eliminated bottlenecks in the supply of fuel oil for electricity generation on Western Venezuela. This allowed to cope with growing demand that hydro and gas turbine generation could not satisfy - Led actions to mitigate impact of unplanned outages of key units within the PDVSA refining system - Coordinated actions at PDVSA terminals to minimize time and capacity loss of PDVSA tankers which allowed a reduction of 1.5 million USD per year on transportation cost.- Effective follow up to local market product consumption and inventories and optimized tankers routes which allowed an increased volume to export market equivalent to 10 million dollars- Led timely actions to increase product allocation for export market which contributed to reduce product inventories at refineries, equivalent to 30 million dollars on working capital.

Amuay Refinery

- Lead a team for the integration of two refineries previously operated by Shell and Exxon. This included identification of synergies for the use of spare capacities on both refineries which led to more than 100% increase in the exchange of products between both refineries’ Also identification of best practices and changes in the Operations, Technical and Maintenance organizations in order to implement such best practices- Following the previous step, I was designated Process Units Operations Manager of Amuay Refinery, with 635 KBSD crude distillation capacity. The complex includes 5 crude units, Cat Cracker, Alkylation, Delayed Coker, Flexicoker, Hydrogen Manufacturing Units and Sulphur units. - Promoted plans to improve reliability in key units that resulted in Increased run length of Delayed Coker and FCC which increased gross margin by $10-15 millions/year- Led plans to improve reliability in key units that resulted in Increased run length of Delayed Coker and FCC which increased gross margin by $10-15 millions- Promote actions to optimize catalyst and chemicals consumption which allowed a reduction of 18 million dollars in operating costs.- Brought up changes at operators shift schedule which allowed a reduction of 8% in manpower requirements .- Managed an organization of 400 people with 18 year experience in average.

- Managed a Production Unit that comprised of FCC, HF Alkylation, MTBE/TAME and a CCR Platformer unit, with a gasoline production capacity of 100,000 barrels per day. Total work force:170 people grouped in multidisciplinary teams that included Operations, Maintenance, Process, and Engineering disciplines- Promoted actions that led to an increase of 10% in the running length of Fluid Cat Cracker, Alkylation and Platformer Unit, by effectively implementing root cause analysis of operational problems and Reliability Centered Maintenance proceduresChampion within the Production Unit implementation of Process Safety Management policies and Behavior-Based Safety procedures Distillation and Lube Oil Operations Superintendent PDVSA

Cardon Refinery

- Managed a Distillation Complex of 4 atmospheric and 3 vacuum crude units with a distillation capacity of 300 KBSD and Luboil Complex with a production capacity of 240 Ktons/yr

- Led process-engineering support for timely design and start-up of the units for the manufacturing of oxygenated components for reformulated gasoline manufacturing - Led conceptual design and coordinated activities of process group of EPC contractor for a project to increase the Cat Cracker through input from 9,000 tons per day to 11,000 tons per day with no deviations from target yields and capacity- Led design activities of conceptual design and detailed process design for the installation of a mild vacuum column to increase the processing capacity of extra heavy crude in 40,000 barrels per day using an existing column instead of a new one, with substantial capital cost reduction - Initiated standardization process of design procedures, created a Process Engineering Calculations Bank and Process Units Simulations Bank which significantly helped to minimize deviations during conceptualization stage of projects and provided an excellent tool for young engineers training

- Developed models and identified modifications and conditions required in 142-KBSD crude unit which allowed an increase of 20% in heavy crude oil processing

- Responsible for the operations planning of the Cardon Refinery, including crude supply to the refinery, plants operating program, product blending and product supply scheduling. Total crude and products managed: 500 KBSD. Introduced changes in fuel oil manufacturing with benefits of $ 1.5 million per year

- Provided technical support for troubleshooting and optimization of FCC and gasoline treating units - Developed basic process design for the design of the revamp of 2 60-KBSD capacity vacuum units for deep cutting and improved heat recovery and the revamp of 2 70-KBPSD Atmospheric Distillation Units in order to increase distilled yields and improved heat recovery
