Summary
My professional background includes an improvement of the company's cashflow, stock price and reduction of the expenses. It includes an enhancement of oil and gas production for conventional and unconventional reservoirs and reduction of watercut due to developing, optimizing and introduction of new and existing technologies, methods, equipment, chemicals and workflows.
Having gained around 15 years technical and management experience in Reservoir/Petroleum engineering, education in Petroleum and Production engineering with a MSc in Reservoir engineering and PhD in Petroleum Engineering, 110 patents and 30 technical papers, worldwide experience, I can work on the different EOR/IOR projects for production optimization, water and gas injection on real fields, develop trough R&D new “smart” technologies in EOR/IOR, horizontal drilling and completion, stimulation, formation damage, multistage hydraulic fracturing for conventional and unconventional fields.
My experience and knowledge allows me to act as a Principal/Project Leader, manager or Senior in technical positions and lead the whole process of the oil and gas production and different projects in multidisciplinary teams: from the idea, planning, R&D and design, pilot tests to implementation of best project scenario on real field, surveillance and supervising. Moreover, I have experience in public speaking, negotiation, presentation and defence of the projects and technologies for top-management of the company.
