About

Having worked within the Gas & Oil industry for over 22 years, I have developed a wide range of skills related to geology applied to production area, on my present role as a General Manager for Xacobeo Group I have had many achievements, including the company structuration, and planning of the services that we provide. My main work focus has been on the management of Heavy-Extra Heavy Oil and Gas reservoirs. The tasks involve reservoir characterization, modelling, planning and development plan to the design of drilling campaigns. I worked during my career with other disciplines, especially production and drilling teams on well performance and optimization for more than 250 between horizontal, vertical, and slanted wells. Moreover, I have experience in certification reserves process preparing all the data and working with the auditors. Now, I am exploring, as a PhD candidate, proposals to reduce CO2 emissions related to geological activities.
