Reservoir Engineer / Petrophysicist
Member of the multidisciplinary team to deliver production from the gas condensate Floreña and Pauto fields as well as Cupiagua in Recetor. and evaluation of exploration opportunities. Floreña and Pauto fields started production in 2Q 2001 and facilities expansion will allow production from current wells and open potential for additional producers. Responsibilities are reservoir characterization including integration of static and dynamic data in a structurally compartmentalized reservoir with a compositional fluid, evaluation of the influence and modeling of natural fractures, generation of opportunities for field development and appraisal and STOIIP and reserves calculation. Generation of basic and special core analyses program and generation of appropriate well evaluation program for the Niscota well wildcat. Evaluation of onshore and offshore exploration prospects.
Experience
Reservoir Engineer / Petrophysicist: BP Floreña, Pauto and Cupiagua in Recetor fields and Niscota exploration. Jan 2002 – Present
Production Field Engineer: BP Production field operations, which included well testing, production logging and well stimulations such as acid jobs perforating and hydraulic fraccing. Responsibilities included well work design, liaison with contractors and ensuring that well work objectives were met (HSE, costs, times). March 2001 – Dec 2001
Petrophysicist / Reservoir Engineer, Cupiagua Field: BP Member of the multidisciplinary Cupiagua subsurface team. The Cupiagua field was in early development stage at the time. 42 wells were planned (including 8 injectors) to access 450 MMbbls reserves. Routine duties included pressure build up analysis, production logging evaluation, coordination of the tracers injection project as well as formation evaluation of every new well. Coordination and program generation for coring and core analyses. Generation of proposals for well stimulations and well planning. Generation of the reservoir properties model, and support in the full field reservoir simulation model. Generation of the production forecasting using Montecarlo Simulation. Manager for the open hole logging contract. March 1999 – March 2001
Petrophysicist: BP Member of a multi-disciplinary subsurface team in charge of the appraisal and exploration of the Piedemonte license, in the Llanos Foothills, Colombia. The team achieved sanctioning and commerciality of the project. Duties included reservoir and fluid evaluation, designing of strategies for data acquisition, coring and core analysis programs. Support in building the full field model for Floreña and Pauto fields. Recommendations for DST strategies and initial production estimates. Evaluation of new ventures and designing of further evaluating studies. Promoted to petrophysicist / reservoir engineer in a developing field (Cupiagua). Responsibilities involved fluid phase studies, well performance evaluation and stimulation programmes. November, 1996 -March, 1999
Petrophysicist: BP Providing petrophysical support to three assets in the Llanos foothills. Interaction with the contractors and operations team in designing and evaluation of strategies and technologies for reservoir evaluation. Implementation of new petrophysical software (GEOLOG). Acquiring expertise in reservoir and fluid evaluation. Calibration of log data with core data. June, 1995 - November, 1996
Junior Petrophysicist: BP Fieldwork as representative of the company in the logging operations. Office work included data quality control, data editing and basic evaluation. Close interaction with the contractor and the operations team. January, 1994 - June, 1995
Student Internship: Shell Hocol S.A. Cartagena, Colombia. Evaluation of dielectric logs run in shaly sands in the San Francisco Field in the Upper Magdalena Valley. Wettability and Swirr estimation. December, 1992 - November, 1993
