Reservoir Engineer

Senior professional
Profile Summary

As a Chemical Engineer Specializing in Oil and Gas Production, I have more than 5 years of experience in Reservoir Engineering, complemented by a Master's Degree in Project Management. I have managed Secondary Recovery Projects, prepared oil and gas production forecasts, and supervised Pulling, Workover and Drilling operations. Proficient in office suites, I possess a comprehensive skill set, including project management, agile methodologies (SCRUM), reservoir modeling (Sahara), economic evaluations (Merak-Peep) and Microsoft MS Office (including Power BI).

In addition to technical expertise, I am fluent in Spanish and English. I excel at teamwork and collaboration, demonstrating leadership and mentoring skills. My effective oral and written communication skills have facilitated successful interactions with various stakeholders. I am intrinsically motivated to continually learn and overcome challenges in the energy industry.

As for education, I recently finished my Master's in Project Management at the European Postgraduate Center in Madrid, Spain. I have a specialization in Oil and Gas Production from the Technological Institute of Buenos Aires (ITBA), Argentina, and a Bachelor's Degree in Chemical Engineering from the National University of Misiones (UNaM), Argentina.

Previously, I worked as a Field Reservoir Engineer at YPF in Río Grande, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. In this role, I made production forecasts, prepared annual production plans and analyzed field behavior. I led optimization proposals for production and collaborated in all stages of new projects, from visualization to execution. Additionally, I supervised and managed project execution, water quality, and Pulling, Workover, and Drilling operations. I excelled in mentoring and training junior engineers and interns, received excellent performance reviews, and achieved notable results in interdisciplinary optimization and teamwork.

In addition, I obtained a postgraduate certification for the "Specialization in Oil and Gas Production" from a prestigious institute in Argentina, recognizing my dedication and experience in the field.

With a proven track record of success and a commitment to continuous improvement, I am prepared to contribute my skills and knowledge to drive excellence in oilfield engineering and subsurface technical solutions.
