What I'm looking for

I'm seeking remote consulting or full-time roles in petroleum geoscience, energy transition, and subsurface innovation, where I can lead multidisciplinary work on geothermal, geologic hydrogen, reservoirs, and low-emission technologies.

At Ecopetrol, I lead innovation initiatives spanning upstream, midstream, downstream, and low-emissions energy, including geologic hydrogen feasibility and Colombia's first high-temperature geothermal pilot well.

Across Ecopetrol, Addax Petroleum, OMV, and Heinemann Oil, I've delivered reservoir characterization, seismic sequence stratigraphy, petrophysical evaluation, reserves estimation, and 3D static models for assets across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and the Americas. I have also led remote, multidisciplinary teams and managed subsurface projects from technical assessment through planning, forecasting, and permitting.

With 23+ years in petroleum geoscience and a PhD in Petroleum Geology, I bring practical experience in conventional and unconventional reservoirs, geothermal, natural hydrogen, and emerging low-emission technologies.
