The professional position accredits me to exercise functions that have been oriented to the structural creation of the company, operations, systematic design of activities and its conceptual framework, standardization and implementation of HSSE, execution and development of geological research projects. In addition to preparing training plans on different geo-scientific topics related to geological exploration, geological modeling of the basin, geological mapping, structural geology, tectonics, and basin analysis (2019).
Professional activity geared towards exploration geology within the Division of Geological Cartography and Regional Geology; From my position I planned, supervised, developed and controlled geological projects under a quality management system -HSSE, QA / QC or HSE- with special emphasis on the structural geological model of the basin between Barcelona and Puerto la Cruz -Continent, Offshore and coast -, including geological mapping under strict design parameters (2015-2018), both under the ArcGIS and AutoCAD format, systematic advice on drilling meshes for reservoir quantification (2015-2016), interpretation of geophysical profiles (2016 -2018) by means of: the seismic method -Serranía of the eastern section and mountain range of the eastern section-, electric - north of Puerto La Cruz- and magnetic - Bolívar State -, update the lithostratigraphic nomenclature of the Upper Cretaceous-Lower Paleocene (2016- 2017). Biostratigraphic studies - fossil identification - (2010-2018), lithological unit dating (2010-2016), facies analysis (2009-2018), stratigraphy by sequence (2009-2018), basin structural style (2005) -2017), the type of carbonate platform was defined by a genetic approach to rocks (2016-2018), petrographic studies (2016-2017), rock diagenesis (2016-2018), engineering tutoring in geosciences with emphasis in: stratigraphy, geological cartography, field survey and micropaleontology (2016-2017), professional training for activities intrinsic to geological exploration (2013-2018), geological sampling for purposes: petrographic / rock classification, paleontological and structural geology, and topographic survey at scale 1: 5.000 (2017).
In addition to the generation of 16 thematic maps for geotechnical purposes and the geological-structural map - ArcGIS Software -, the purpose of the research was to evaluate the conditioning factors that influenced mass removal movements - parameters were calculated in soil and rock - in the vicinity of the trench, Carabobo State, Venezuela (2017).
As an exploration geologist, I coordinated the regional geological mapping projects, my main functions being the creation of geological maps at a scale of 1: 100.000 under the format established by IGVSB - Simón Bolívar Venezuelan Geographical Institute - 17 sheets were created between the Andean region, north- Western, north-eastern and southern in Venezuela, all the maps created were under ArcGIS software. The complementary activities for this work were to perform interpretations of regional seismic images, static modeling, creation of geological sections and design of stratigraphic columns, basin analysis through studies: sedimentological, tectonic-stratigraphic analysis, regional spatial correlations of stratigraphic units. In addition to my functions I participated:
- Participation in different drilling projects of Cretaceous and Cenozoic formations - north-eastern and western projects - whose purpose was to describe perforated nuclei considering that the information would be used for sedimentological compression of stratigraphic units, facies analysis, establishment of timelines for spatial correlations, sampling for petrographic and geochemical analyzes, geostatistics based on the data obtained -mineralization-, structural geological modeling from the basin analysis (2009-2015).
- Field geology for the fulfillment of geological exploration program, the projects usually consisted of capturing and processing geological information to create geological maps (GIS) at regional and detail scale, sampling for: petrographic analysis, paleontological -macro / micro-, sedimentological and geochemical, interpretation of deposition facies and lithological descriptions (2007-2015).
- Development of static models demanded in different projects: Western Cretaceous Basin in Carora of Lara State (2009-2010), Cretaceous-Cenozoic Basin to the north of Anzoátegui State (2010-2011), Cretaceous-Cenozoic Basin to the south of Monagas State- Around Quiriquire (2013-2014), Jurassic-Cenozoic Basin in Sucre State (2008-2009), and Western Jurassic-Cretaceous Basin northern part in the Mérida State (2014-2016).
- Participation in the team for the control of Safety, Health and Environment (HSSE) of the projects: Pertigalete in Anzoátegui State, Chaparral in Guárico State and Cerro Azul in Monagas State. The activities were framed in establishing the security controls of the companies demanding the geological exploration service or those proposed by INGEOMIN for the program, the controls were executed for: technical-administrative work, exploration geology, geophysical surveys -in their different methods-, drilling program, and geochemical exploration.
- Collection and processing of the data of the register of specific sludge within the register as a whole, to include them in the drilling database in accordance with the standards and procedures required by the client (February 2009 to June 2017).
- Sedimentological studies that allowed us to interpret the accumulation processes and cycles, identifying the genesis of the deposits, excavation of test trenches and the data from the open wells registry, sedimentology laboratory (July to October 2011).
- Participated in rotation survey with witness recovery with special emphasis on geological exploration and geological modeling, and participated in tests of horizontal drilling in tunnels for lithological description, correlating the reports of the survey with surface geology (2005- 2013).
Iran-Venezuela Binational Project, National Database of Geosciences in Venezuela (NGDV), functions:
- Participate in the creation of a geoscientific database, where personal activity was the capture of seismic information (depth of the earthquake, magnitude and geographic location), digital creation of geology templates (economic geology, petrography, structural geology, paleontology, stratigraphy and geological maps) and publication of information on the NGDV portal of geological reference, while team activity was based on the administration of geological databases, through geo-scientific information requested from operating corporations in the country. The purpose of the project was for the information of greater geo-scientific interest to be analyzed and processed, to later be captured and classified in previously designed digital formats - at this stage a systematic order of the data and its subsequent handling / GIS is carried out - to which were finally made available to users.
- Multiple technical presentations were made to universities and scientific corporations -public and private- in particular companies from the mining, oil and gas sector, with the purpose of actively and permanently involving them in the generation, processing and capture of the geoscience data generated in the country.
- A technical visit to the Geological Survey of Iran was carried out with the function of fulfilling a multidisciplinary training with reference to the database structure.
- Advice for the creation of a 3D geological model, with the purpose of proposing a drilling network or mesh in order to study the availability of subsoil water for human consumption -Camino de Los Indios project -geologist interns- added to the possible geo studies -statistics and geochemicals that could be incorporated with field, soil and rock sampling.
- Experience in horizontal drilling tests in tunnels (2005).
- Geological-geotechnical research within the Andean Multinational Project, where a GIS -Geographic Information System- is created, through the ArcGIS, AutoCAD and ArcView software, for the generation of the geological susceptibility map to mass movements, geological-structural map and geomorphological map in Trujillo State, Venezuela. The most relevant scientific activities in the research were:
- Stratigraphic and petrographic description of the Mucuchachi, Betijoque and Carvajal formations of the Trujillo State-Venezuela.
- Geochemical analysis of sediments collected in the field, based on the molecular structure of the clays, X-ray diffraction for the mineralogical content and mineralogical-chemical associations, and mineralogical alterations through the petrographic sections.
- Generation of Geological Sections and 3D geological modeling of lithostratigraphic units described in the research under ArcGis software.
