Como Diretor Executivo na indústria de O&G, meu foco sempre foi liderar iniciativas que trouxessem maior eficiência e segurança às operações, além de garantir a adaptação às constantes mudanças do mercado. Em projetos estratégicos, implementei tecnologias inovadoras que aumentaram a performance operacional e, em conjunto com equipes altamente qualificadas, resolvemos desafios críticos do valorizando parcerias, a gestão do conhecimento e o aprendizado contínuo. A habilidade em transformar desafios em resultados práticos fortalece a relação com clientes e líderes.

I’ve been very fortunate throughout my career to work with people that, not only allow me to use creativity in solving industry challenges, but encourage me to do so. As technology progresses we unravel new problems associated with our pursuit of energy. Development of solutions has to match the explosive speed of technology. My current role allows me to use my experience and create alternative strategies that match that pace.

1) Observe and learn from the experienced pros. 2) Replicate and practice their workflows to solve problems on your own. 3) In no time, you’ll be innovating and enhancing the standard of work and solutions. 4) Showcase your work, and learn to communicate complex stuff in simple terms. 5) You’ve become the go-to person, even for the experienced professionals you learned from.

En tant qu’ingénieur dans l’industrie pétrolière et gazière, j’ai contribué à l’amélioration des opérations en participant activement à l’élaboration et à la mise en place de protocoles de contrôle qualité. Cette implication a permis de garantir la conformité des processus aux normes industrielles, assurant ainsi des performances optimales tout en réduisant les risques d’erreurs. En optimisant les opérations de forage et d’extraction, j’ai également contribué à la réduction des coûts et à l’amélioration des taux de récupération. Mon rôle dans le renforcement des protocoles de sécurité et l’adaptabilité face aux défis de l’industrie a été essentiel à la réussite des projets.

Familiarity with industry-specific terms is essential in the oil and gas sector. Using technical language correctly can showcase your expertise. For example, terms like “upstream,” “well logging,” or “reservoir engineering” are common, but it’s important to use them in context. However, avoid overloading conversations with jargon that could confuse others. Striking a balance ensures your message remains clear while still demonstrating your knowledge of the industry.

La industria petrolera se caracteriza por el empleo de muchos términos en inglés para herramientas y operaciones. En países de habla hispana se hace necesario utilizarlos y aprenderlos para así todos hablar un mismo “lenguaje” y hacer más fluida la comunicación. Es conveniente evitar el empleo de otros términos locales que dificulten la comunicación o provoquen confusiones en las órdenes y/ o procedimientos de la industria, especialmente donde trabajen equipos multiculturales.

In the oil and gas sector, showcasing specific projects is crucial to highlight your skills. I think it's effective to focus on projects where you made a significant impact, such as improving safety protocols or enhancing operational efficiency. Remember to acknowledge your team’s contributions as well; collaboration is vital in our industry. By sharing these project highlights, you can clearly demonstrate your abilities and your role in driving success.

Reservoir simulation is a crucial tool for optimising recovery in ageing fields. In a mature oilfield project, I faced the challenge of declining reservoir pressure, which led to reduced production rates. Using advanced reservoir simulation software, I modelled various enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques, such as water flooding and gas injection, to determine the most effective method. The simulation revealed that CO2 injection would boost recovery by 18%, which we implemented successfully. This experience showcases my ability to use cutting-edge simulation tools to mitigate production decline challenges

Adaptabilidad! Palabra cable para afrontar los desafíos que la industria propone. El enfoque continuo hacia objetivos incrementales en el corto tiempo pondrán a tu performance entre las mejores. Los cambios o el buscar lograr un objetivo lleva tiempo pero uno debe buscar las mejores herramientas para lograrlo en el corto plazo y con coste adecuado. Entender que la optimizacion de una operación puede lograrse hasta en un 70 % por gestión humana y el 30 % restante con implementacion de tecnología, desde mi experiencia, en vital! Porque debo saber en que momento o hasta que punto puedo trabajar con mi equipo para generar ese cambio cultural para optimizar la gestión humana sin desgastarnos en el camino.

In the oil and gas industry, challenges such as price fluctuations and environmental concerns are common. It's vital to approach these obstacles with resilience and adaptability. For example, companies can adopt innovative technologies to enhance efficiency and reduce environmental impact. Looking forward, a proactive strategy could involve investing in sustainable practices and diversifying supply chains to mitigate risks. By embracing these approaches, we can not only navigate challenges but also contribute to a more sustainable future for the industry.

When addressing questions about your experience in the oil and gas sector, highlight your commitment to continuous learning. Emphasize how you stay updated with industry trends, pursue certifications, and adapt to new technologies, showcasing your proactive approach to growth and skill development.

I believe continuous learning is vital in the oil and gas industry. By engaging in online courses and attending industry seminars, I can stay updated on emerging technologies and best practices. For example, learning about advancements in drilling techniques can enhance my understanding and make me more valuable in the field. This commitment not only sharpens my skills but also prepares me to contribute effectively to innovative projects in the industry.

Mantenerse enfocado y en continuo aprendizaje es lo que te lleva a expandir tu abanico profesional. No dudar en pedir pista hacia nuevos desafíos que nos saquen de la zona de confort y mirar a los errores como oportunidades de aprendizaje y tener en la cabeza un plan de carrera, más allá si la compañía lo tenga o no, creo que es lo que te puede mantener no solo motivado sino dispuesto a nuevos desafíos con una alta adaptabilidad.

In my opinion, there is no other way (other than networking) that offers us with numerous learning opportunities and ample number of connections along the way. Attending workshops and conferences during all the stages of oil and gas career can help build resilience and confidence, for a strong and supportive future in the industry’s fraternity.
