Can you share a snapshot of your career history?

I’ve had a diverse career where I’ve delved into many aspects within the oil and gas industry, expanding my expertise in maintenance and operations to well production and optimisation. I began my career with Schlumberger in Venezuela where I’m originally from, before taking a step into a Maintenance Analyst role at Chevron. I’ve also enjoyed a consultancy-based role at Helix RDS which was later acquired by BakerHughes. Prior to joining AGR, I worked at Chevron again on the Wheatstone Project in Australia.

What attracted you to join Add Energy/AGR?

I was interested in Add Energy/AGR focus on well integrity and extensive experience in NORSOK industry standards. On the back of that, Add Energy/AGR had developed very good working relations with various operators over the years which also meant they consistently had great opportunities for those with similar backgrounds to me. All of these were in line with my career goals.

Can you tell us a bit about your role as Senior Production Engineer?

Specialising in well integrity, I support and work closely with the Well Intervention Team in Perth on one of their assigned gas well assets. It’s my job to review that all wells are within their operating limits, as well as carrying out investigations and risk assessments that will address any issues or concerns. I’m also involved in well intervention and maintenance activities, and have the crucial responsibility of reporting any well events to the regulator in Australia.

I try to go out at least once per quarter to the platform to maintain that strong relationship and communication with my offshore colleagues - some queries can be difficult to solve over email and can really benefit from that in-person interaction.
