Extensive experience in reservoir simulation and reservoir analysis. Her industry experience include inter-disciplinary projects in reservoir characterization development, has participated in activities in geological and petrophysics interpretation. In these projects, my principal role has been the mathematical modeling to analysis existing reserves and assessment, conducting reservoir development planning. Main experience in simulation was in heavy oil reservoirs including black oil and compositional, thermal and enhance oil recovery such as propane injection. Gas reservoirs ’integrated asset management in Argentina. I have worked with ENI as a reservoir engineer for Agip-KCO for Kazahstan’s reservoirs in fracture reservoir projects involving dynamic calibration of Discrete Fracture Network in some wells in Kashagan field have been identified as possible candidates for a characterization of fracture networks, on the basis of available dynamic data, in order to upscale permeability and porosity to grid model. Reserves Evaluation in Kashagan field.

Her expertise involves PVT characterization, production evaluation, well test analysis, reserves estimation as steps prior to carrying out a simulation study. Using Integrated Asset Management software.

She had led activities of reservoir simulation and analysis, in multidisciplinary project teams including oil field staff, communication and presentation skills. Also haveco-authored several technical publications and presentations in professional meetings and conferences.

Currently Board member of Venezuelan American Petroleum Association VAPA as a treasurer. She has created and manages a company’s brand voice and image. She is responsible for aligning all association communications,  social media, and marketing content to create a strong brand identity.

I am fluent in English and Spanish. Basic Italian and Portuguese.

Key Achievement

  • Provided reservoir engineering input and coordinated interdiscipli­nary (geophysics and geologies, reservoir engineers, production engineers, and workover experts) teamwork, which resulted in approvals of many wells in several fields, including Arecuna, Bare, Cerro Negro and Hamaca, located in eastern Venezuela.
  • Provided high quality reservoir engineering support for a group of oil/heavy-oil/gas reservoirs located in eastern Venezuela and Argentina resulting in increased production, using Integrated Asset Modeling (IAM).
  • Provided important input for the yearly business planning cycle by means of high quality production forecasts.
  • Participated in evaluation and justification of incremental reserves.
  • Defined long-term development strategy for 2010-2050 business plan for Kashagan field.
