Hi, thank you for visiting my portfolio.
I am not a photographer but I love the photography. My modest portfolio is an open window to my souvenirs.
Thanks to my professional experience I could travel and discover a few countries. The world is so large, my life is so short!
Drilling & Workover supervisor / Drilling engineer with 25 years of experience in O&G and Geothermal Energy covering geology and drilling engineering . The multidisciplinary positions include offshore and onshore development / exploration wells in many countries working for the main oil and gas operators. A solid multi-disciplined experience with a commitment for challenging HPHT projects proves a high interest in the reservoir and drilling engineering. Very good language skills (fluent English, French-Spanish bilingual) with experience supervising all drilling operations from spud to completion and a serious HSE approach complete an operational and flexible profile.
