I am a reservoir engineer with more than 20 years of petroleum engineering experience in technical and operational roles of upstream oil and gas. These include conventional and unconventional reservoirs in exploration and development projects in North America, Latin America and Asia. My assignments in different areas of exploration and production have helped foster an integrated, multi-discipline approach to better understand the subsurface, build more robust dynamic reservoir models and be effective in subsurface team leadership. As a highly engaged and motivated team player I put focus on knowledge sharing, mentoring / learning with others, and brainstorming with peers to propose innovative solutions for complex technical challenges. Seeking to achieve technical excellence, I hold 3 US patents and have 20 technical publications.

Reservor EngineerSchlumberger May 2015 - Sep 2018Argentina, Saudi ArabiaDeveloped reservoir simulation and analytical reservoir models for shale reservoirs in Argentina and Saudi Arabia. Field development-focused projects included the Saudi Arabia shale condensate (Jafurah) and tight gas reservoirs (Mazelich), while the field asset evaluation projects were the Vaca Muerta (Argentina) across the spectrum of hydrocarbon fluid types. In addition to the above, scope also included reservoir engineering studies for production optimization of conventional reservoir brownfields.Created and successfully executed global "Integration and Collaboration" workshops around the world as Schlumberger Unconventional Global Technical Community co-leader.
