• Projects manager for all the subsea projects, including engineering, procurement/fabrication, installation and commissioning. • Technical responsible for the new pipelines design (in-house) and installation procedures and operations (ROV, diving and pipelaying). • Responsible for the subsea integrity daily activities (ANP - SGSS), including defining inspection work scope, inspection annual plan, managing offshore inspection operations (diving, ROV, smart PIG and rope access). Responsible for subsidiary integrity management system. • Vessel operations management • Offshore Installation Manager for Perenco’s owned vessel in Brazil

Responsible for managing subsea integrity of the Brazilian subsidiary, including technical activities, regulators reporting (SGSS) and inspections/repair offshore operations (ROV, diving, smart PIG, rope access)

Drilling, production and installation riser analysis project coordination, overlooking young engineers and managing scopes of work. Offshore operation support – Perform on-board analysis to provide decision making information during installation and drilling operations.

• Design and structural analysis of flexible risers with most type of subsea layout implemented to date.Structural design and the global analysis assessment (Hydrodynamics), i.e. modelling wind, wave, current, seabed soil and vessel motions. • Component level design and FEA of equipment, pipes and pressure vessels. • Writing client proposal and pricing, monitoring budget vs man-hours spent and providing customer interface.

Engineer responsible for conducting strength, fatigue and stability analysis on subsea equipment for oil and gas industry using Computer-aided engineering (CAE) software, such as ANSYS and some others specifically for riser analysis, such as Flexcom and Orcaflex. Also proficient on using Computer-aided design (CAD) software, such as ANSYS designmodeler and Solidworks.

Responsible for assisting BP in the Corrosion Threat and Likelihood Assessment Project (CTALA). CTALA is a type of Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) which has been specifically designed to identify threats associated with internal and external corrosion.

Part of the team conducting conceptual design for the OGX OSX-2 and OSX-3 compliant riser systems in shallow waters. Each development comprises a set of 26 flexible risers attached to the turret moored FPSOs OSX-2 and OSX-3, in water depths of 135m and 105m, respectively. The scope of work for both fields included the development of the subsea layout and the definition of the riser configurations for umbilicals, gas lift, gas injection, gas export, water injection and production risers. Pliant-wave and lazy-S configurations were assessed for all structure types considering extreme storm and long-term loading conditions. Part of the team responsible for the re-analysis of the installed flexible risers at Peregrino field. The main objective of this study was to assess the integrity implications due to a considerable increase in current and wave loading after Metocean data revision. The Peregrino development comprises of one FPSO and two Wellhead Platforms in approximately 100m water depth, offshore Brazil. A total of 6 flexible risers in Weight Aided Wave (WAW) configuration and 4 power umbilicals in Lazy Wave configuration are attached to the turret moored FPSO.
