Reservoir Engineer

Petroleum Engineer with +18 years of experience with a broadly defined engineering discipline and highly specialized in reservoir simulation with Eclipse-100 in Extra heavy oil reservoir, developed with Horizontal wells.

From 2001-Current
Senior Reservoir Modeling Engineer, Developing reservoir models in extra heavy oil reservoir, related to my unit work by joining dynamic properties to a establish geological model in order to follow simulation models that allow the valuation and forecast from the unit production potential with a high level of assurance.
Simulation Tools used: Eclipse-100 (high level), Start and IMEX, VIP others OFM, excel,
1995-2000 Reservoir Engineer, Perez Compan
From 1995 to 1996, Reservoir Engineer, in the Leona, Lobo, Adobe reservoir (Leona Unit), focusing on the development plan, selected candidates to do RA/RC, Work over, well services, analysis of future locations, design different lift methods, monitoring that different recommendations, evaluation to the oil reserves, design special test (build up, draw down, PVT, etc) and operational follow.
From 1996 to 1998, Working on different economical and technical study (Simulation with eclipse-100), on different Venezuela field (thirst round of business) in Neuquen – Argentina.
From 1998 to 2000, Reservoir Engineer, in technical Management in Caracas, focusing on the operational follow, reservoir simulation (History Match and forecast), Reserves estimation etc, in the Oritupano A field.
Simulation Tools used: Eclipse-100 (high level), OFM, excel,


1987-1995 Reservoir Engineer, Under the management of the Petroleum Department in the Thermal Recovery Unit.
Planning, following and controlling activities generating production potential in heavy oil reservoir. Design a potential generating program in heavy oil reservoir that corresponds to steam alternate injection, RA/RC, workovers, well services and selection of possible locations of well drilling. Design programs related to inlet drill to repair and reconditioning of wells, steam injection with the purpose to avoid loss time of drill and boiler. Follow operational activities related to horizontal wells inlet in which the engineer had to remain in the well from the beginning to the end in taking proper decisions in the proposed well. Design programs of special test in the field such as bottom-hole flowing pressure, build-up, etc.
