2012 – January 2016
GEOMECHANICS SPECIALIST - Baker Hughes
- Provided advanced level of pore pressure and fracture gradient analysis through integration of various data types, including seismic velocities, well logs, mud logs, formation tests, leak-off tests, drilling reports, and basin models to ensure a safe and efficient drilling environment.
- Assisting with proactive recommendations at the well-site, within remote operation centres or at the office client.
- Advised on the downhole hydraulic pressure management detecting drilling Hazards or abnormal pore pressure to prevent fractures and loses, avoiding kicks, wellbore instability and detecting shallow water flows. Establishing the operational window between formation pressure and fracture gradient, based on real-time data.

2010 – 2012 - GEOPRESSURE ANALYST - Geoservices, A Schlumberger Company.
- Analyzed Logging While Drilling (LWD), seismic velocities data and secondary drilling indicators to determine formation pressures and fracture gradient while drilling using the Petrospec software, equiPoise and pQube.
- Responsible to Interpret Pump Off Gas (POG) peaks and cross check the pore pressure models, watching for changing gas ratios, being able to recognize and differentiate: POG due to well breathing or due to near balance situations.
