Chemical and Process Engineer since December 2011 in Oil & Gas industries.

Started as Junior Engineer working for a simulation process lab at LADES-COPPE-UFRJ, developing and implementing advanced and soft sensors control logics for natural gas and urea processing plants. In May, 2013 started at Petrobras for the Company Process Engineer capacitation. From May 2014 to December 2017, actuated providing technical support for 12 oil & gas platforms of Campos Basin at Rio de Janeiro. In January 2018, I was promoted to Operational Coordinator and worked for 08 months at Brasfels shipyard for the construction of the offshore installation P-69.

Since September 2018 until nowadays, I am actuating as Operational Coordinator for P-69, leading two teams working on shift: day and night. I'm the technical responsible for the daily oil & gas production events on process plant, which me and the other Coordinators daily communicate the onshore support team.

My principal goals achieved and key projects are:
- Workgroup for selecting critical valves by reliability centered maintenance;
- Commissioning of oil production well BR-69 when providing technical support for P-43;
- Implementation and supervision of process safety studies recommendations in the P-69 construction at shipyard;

  • Dynamic modeling of a topside process plant with modified black-oil approach

    Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering

    Modeling and simulation of oil and gas facilities has been done by several authors in closed-source commercial applications, with low flexibility for model adaptation. A few authors used free modeling environments, which results in a differential-algebraic equations (DAE) system and lets the model be adaptable for plantwide simulation. Still, it has limitations in obtaining the model’s initial conditions and to perform dynamic simulations when the compositional approach is used. The Modified…

    Modeling and simulation of oil and gas facilities has been done by several authors in closed-source commercial applications, with low flexibility for model adaptation. A few authors used free modeling environments, which results in a differential-algebraic equations (DAE) system and lets the model be adaptable for plantwide simulation. Still, it has limitations in obtaining the model’s initial conditions and to perform dynamic simulations when the compositional approach is used. The Modified Black-Oil (MBO) approach, which models the thermodynamic equilibria in a simpler way, has been used by several authors for reservoir modeling but not for topside facilities. This work proposes the use of the MBO approach for topside dynamic modeling. This was done in EMSO©, obtaining a large index-1 DAE system and successful obtention of consistent initial conditions. Disturbances on specific variables were applied and shows the potential use of the MBO approach for new dynamic studies.

    Este trabalho é referente à aplicação da norma NORSOK Z-008 para identificar os subsistemas de plataformas de óleo & gás que acarretam em alto impacto aos interesses do negócio, quando há perda da função principal (FP) que desempenham. Através de uma estrutura hierárquica funcional (EHF) elaborada especificamente para subsistemas da indústria upstream, os respectivos equipamentos e componentes receberam classificação de consequência correspondente. Indicadores, dados pelo produto de uma consequência específica aos interesses do negócio vezes a duração da perda da FP, foram utilizados para definir a criticidade dos ativos físicos.
    O trabalho foi motivado para iniciar uma sistemática de manutenção baseada em risco para válvulas de alívio, válvulas instrumentadas de segurança, de controle, operadas remotamente e algumas válvulas manuais relevantes ao processo. O objetivo foi propor estratégias de manutenção preditiva (ex: monitoramento da condição) e parâmetros de estoque mínimo de sobressalentes.
    Uma comparação da técnica com 21 eventos reais de perda de produção foi feita e verificou-se que foi possível prever adequadamente em todos os eventos a consequência real ocorrida, demonstrando assim a eficácia da técnica. Utilizando como severidade a consequência x duração da indisponibilidade da FP - denominada de forma didática como "perda projetada" - foi identificado que 24% das válvulas possuem relevante impacto prolongado aos interesses do negócio. Supondo a aplicação de uma política de estoque mínimo buscando agilizar a manutenção e reduzir a indisponibilidade dessas válvulas, o montante de válvulas de impacto prolongado reduziria para 5%. Essas válvulas seriam, portanto, as candidatas para instalação de dispositivos de monitoramento da condição física dos ativos (ex: sensoriamento online). Tal resultado demonstra o potencial da técnica e dos critérios empregados para reduzir os custos de capital investido com uma iniciativa para manutenção baseada em risco.

  • Mathematical modelling for the impact evaluation of upstream oil & gas processing plants arrangement on inorganic fouling kinetics inhibition.

    Petrobras. Fluid Processing & Metering Community Practices

    The deposition of inorganic salts along the processing plant is a phenomenon that can cause a platform to stop it's production for several days. Inorganic salts are derived from the water produced, whose reservoir pressure and temperature conditions keep them dissolved. By changing these conditions after topside elevation or by mixing water from wells of incompatible compositions, precipitation of salts is thermodynamically favored. The deposition of salts on the walls of pipes / equipment…

    The deposition of inorganic salts along the processing plant is a phenomenon that can cause a platform to stop it's production for several days. Inorganic salts are derived from the water produced, whose reservoir pressure and temperature conditions keep them dissolved. By changing these conditions after topside elevation or by mixing water from wells of incompatible compositions, precipitation of salts is thermodynamically favored. The deposition of salts on the walls of pipes / equipment occurs according to nucleation and crystal growth kinetics.

    Fouling inhibitors are chemicals that act to retard the nucleation kinetics of the first crystals and are thus classified by kinetic inhibitors. Therefore, to avoid salt deposition it is necessary to apply a sufficient concentration of inhibitor that eliminates or minimizes the formation of the first crystals during the period that the brine (i.e. produced water) flows through the processing plant. This concentration is called Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC).

    For new projects, with arrangement according to Pre-salt Replicants Platforms Units, there is recycling of the water produced to the beginning of the plant and all produced water is removed on the primary separator. A recycle stream of separated produced water present on the primary separator from susequent process vessels brings up an alert. Depending on the proportion of the flow that feeds the process plant and the recycling stream (feed-to-recycle ratio), brine accumulated in the system may take a long time to renew and the concentration of previously dosed scale inhibitor may no longer have the
    inhibiting activity required - because it is a product of kinetics inhibition.

    We conclude that the renewal of accumulated brine inventory in processing plants with produced water recycle may take long enough that inorganic fouling inhibitors will no longer have the required activity.

    This work evaluated through computational simulation the influence of inorganic salts on extractive distillation for production of anhydrous ethanol. The effect of electrolytes has been evaluate on the vapor-liquid equilibria of mixed-solvent solutions with secondary alcohols, being in this work represented by 1-propanol and 2-propanol. The electrolyte effects on plate efficiencies also has been evaluate through the influence of them on the principal transport properties which affects plate efficiency: surface tension and liquid phase viscosity. Equilibrium models had been use for the evaluation of secondary alcohols and non-equilibrium models for evaluation of plate efficiencies. The results obtained show that electrolyte concentrations below 0.6 mol/kg are sufficient to turn possible production of anhydrous ethanol. For this concentration range, there is a significant change in the ethanol and secondary alcohols composition profiles along the distillation column and little effect on transport properties. This can be concluded comparing the efficiencies of each plate in absence or presence of electrolyte, for which ones were verified similar values for both cases.
