Geomechanics specialist with 20 years in the oil and gas industry. Ewerton started as an R&D engineer before joining GeoMechanics International, where he worked on projects in the Americas, Middle East, and Africa. After that, he joined Equinor as the SME for geomechanics of USA and Canada assets, and following that, was hired by BHP to implement and develop the geomechanics discipline in the Petroleum business. His expertise covers all geomechanics-related aspects of wells planning, drilling, completions, operation, and abandonment, in addition to reservoir geomechanics during exploration, appraisal, and production.

Geoscientist with 15+ years of experience in Development, Production, and Research & Technology. Structural geology and geomechanics expert. He worked as geomechanics consultant for GeoMechanics International before joining ExxonMobil where he became corporate SME for fractured reservoirs. He also has experience in geothermal and CCS projects. Fermin has worked assets around the world, including SE Asia (PNG, Vietnam, Indonesia, Australia-NZ, Malaysia), South America (Colombia, Argentina, Mexico, Brazil pre-salt), Europe/Caspian (Kazakhstan, West Med), Kurdistan, Gulf of Mexico, and Canada. 

Geomechanics specialist with 25+ years of experience in the oil and gas industry. Jorge started his career as R&D engineer developing geomechanical simulators for Petrobras. In 2004, he joined Schlumberger where he was directly involved in 1D and 3D projects for Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and USA. Later, he joined BHP in Houston where he led the development of coupled 3D projects for multiple Gulf of Mexico fields. He used these models for wellbore stability, sanding, compaction/subsidence, cap/casing integrity and fault reactivation analyses. His expertise also includes interpretation and QC of rock mechanics tests as well as software development.

Entrepreneur and consultant, Luis spent 19 years in a leader oilfield service company, starting in the field with wireline, ending in the Head of HR, going through innumerous roles in the sales, marketing, market intelligence, operations, and business development always building strong ties with clients, through quality, transparency and common goals. As a consultant for the past 8 year Luis worked in strategic planning, decommissioning planning, BECCS project, rig maintenance project, client satisfaction training, always keeping the integrated approach, the holistic view for better results.

Julliana brings over 15 years of expertise in R&D, specializing in numerical modeling of oil reservoirs. Her past experience focused on geomechanics applied to the Brazil Pre-Salt, naturally fractured reservoirs and geological faults. She also has extensive experience in the mining industry, with an emphasis on safety as well as numerical stability analysis of tailings dams and dumps.

Reservoir engineer with 15+ years of oil & gas experience, specializing in well testing and pressure transient analysis. Jordan spent 13 years at ExxonMobil, where he reached the level of Principal Reservoir Engineer in charge of the well test discipline. He oversaw worldwide exploration & appraisal testing, encompassing the full lifecycle, covering all aspects beforehand (contracting, design & planning), during (supervision & optimization of wellsite operations), and after the test (data interpretation & integration). He also oversaw pressure transient analysis for ExxonMobil's production affiliates, supporting reservoir surveillance & well performance issues.

Charles is a hydraulic fracturing engineer with 30+ years of experience including Frac Packs, GeoMechanics, Reservoir Engineering Simulation, and PTA/RTA analysis. Initially learning Stimulations and Reservoir Engineering from 8 years within Amoco and their Research Center, he later spent over 10 years with Dr. Mike Smith’s NSI Technologies solving the most challenging requests from operators around the world. Half his career has been in E&P’s such as Enron Oil & Gas Intl. and Tom Brown’s stellar growth story. Additionally, he has an extensive history from over 24 unconventional basins, offshore locations in 12 different countries, CCUS, Geothermal, and most every reservoir type from 10NanoDarcy to 10Darcy. 

Petrophysicist with 40+ years of oil & gas industry experience working for Schlumberger where he achieved the Principal Petrophysicist role. Proficient in developing petrophysical models for reservoir characterization. Experienced in integrating routine and special core analyses with capillary data to describe pore geometries, develop saturation height models, validate and forecast water saturation. Passionate about mentoring and training. Schlumberger’s NEXT instructor with extensive hands-on/personalized training for NOCs (e.g., Ecopetrol, PDVSA or PEMEX). Worked both carbonate and clastic reservoirs all around the world (e.g. Angola, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, México or Saudi Arabia).
