years of multi-disciplinary experience in domestic and international oil/gas drilling and
completion operations, management, consulting, software development and teaching and one
year creditable work experience in a manufacturing industry. His skills include practical and
theoretical background in on-shore and off-shore well engineering, design, cost estimates,
supervision of drilling and completion operations, personnel and technical review; project
management; and creative establishment of project relationships through partnering and
innovation. He has been an educator in USA, Venezuela, Mexico, China and India and an
adjunct Professor at the University of Houston for the past nine years teaching Drilling and
Well Completions courses. He has published more than 90 technical papers, reports, books.
He is presently serving as a Review Chairman on the Journal of Drilling and Completions and
Journal of Petroleum Sciences and Engineering Editorial Review Committees, and co-chairman
of SPE Multilateral Technical Interest Group. Also reviewer for projects of Natural Sciences and
