WORKING EXPERIENCES
March 2014 - Present

3. Petroleum Engineering Manager – OMV E&P, Abu Dhabi UAE
Project Manager for a non-operated project (appraisal phase)
As Project Manager of a non-operated project, she is managing the OMV’s interests in the joint-
venture with a work program of drilling up to 3 appraisal wells and acquiring 3D seismic. Activities
to be closely managed are with respect to HSSE, project management, timing and schedule,
budgets and operational best practice. Joint venture’s management is done via technical
meetings/ workshop and quarterly TCM’s and MCM’s.
Main responsibilities are:
1. Manage the company’s interests in the non-operated appraisal joint venture;
2. Provide Technical support to the joint venture for the execution of the work program;
3. Ensure ever-greening of the OMV internal database and subsurface static and dynamic
models for the Shuwaihat field;
4. Provide and formulate a Company’s position in any joint venture discussions;
5. Oversee the operators project planning and monitor operator performance with respect to
budget, staffing and project schedule;
6. Ensure that the Company’s governance and approvals process is adhered to in the
execution of the appraisal work program;
7. Manage the internal OMV processes for the joint venture (MTP, PAS, Toll-Gates, etc.).
Main achievements:
• Reduced 2015 Operator’s budget by 10% by postponing some activities/studies at a more
appropriate stage of the project;
• Convinced operator to revise the appraisal Phase II drilling program: from two appraisal
wells drilled back to back to have a “spacer” well in between, allowing a full evaluation of
the first appraisal well.
OPCOM Member (Technical Support) of other non-operated projects (i.e. Pearl Petroleum in KRI)
As Petroleum Engineering Manager she also provides technical support to the New Business
group to evaluate and propose suitable projects for Company’s participation.
March 2012 to March 2014
Reservoir and Production Manager, Edison International, Cairo-Egypt
Responsible for the Egyptian assets’ production, she develops plans to maximize fields’
performance and hydrocarbon recovery, to minimize facilities downtime and to ensure the
implementation of the maintenance plan.
She is involved in a waterflood project for a marginal oil field: follow up from the engineering
phase up to the implementation through a pilot test. Special attention to cost saving, considering
the marginal size of the field, has flipped the idea of a standalone water injection plant to a simple
concept of “direct” water injection (from injectors to production wells).
She is responsible of the development and updating of in “house built” reservoir simulation models
and coordinating consultants and specialized contractors.
In charge to:
• advice on well data gathering and design programs during exploration, appraisal or
development campaign

4. • analyze results, interpreting MD, RFT, well test and build up, to evaluate the
reservoir/formation potential
• have contacts with Drilling and Field Operation personnel to advise on fracturing and
testing activities
• have contacts with testing contractors to review and discuss work activities
Technical committee member of JV non-operated projects.
In the operated concessions, she keeps liaison with Partners, organizing technical workshop in
order to update and discuss on the ongoing activity.
Project leader for a Unitization Process of a gas field straddling concessions with different
partners: she is leading the subsurface activities and preliminary field development study.
Responsible for Reserves Booking of Egyptian Assets
Coordination of New Business Opportunities evaluations in collaboration with multi-disciplinary
teams, including Commercial, Legal, Admin.
She directly reports to the Company CEO.
February 2009 to February 2012
Reservoir Project coordinator, Edison S.p.A., Milan HQ- Italy
She coordinates a multidisciplinary subsurface team of engineers and geologists dedicated to the
conceptual development and production optimization plan for the main Company’s assets (50% of
Company’s production and reserves), located offshore North Africa
She is responsible to set up project activities, time schedule, to lead and direct to deliver on
objectives and work commitments; maintaining liaison with other G&G Departments was a key
factor to ensure efficient execution of project fed.
She is involved, as upstream representative, in a feasibility project related to “convert” a depleted
offshore gas reservoir into gas storage. Aim of the project is to maximize the asset value
considering optimization of the storage parameters (cycle length and rate, working and cushion
gas volumes, number of wells), Capex reduction (optimization of the compression station, pipe
size..) and business market model results.
She mentors junior engineers and promotes knowledge sharing.
She directly reports to Reservoir Manager and assist him in other minor projects.
September 2006 to February 2009
Global reservoir advisor, ENI E&P, Milan HQ-Italy
Subsurface advisor in the assurance review events, envisaged in the company processes for
projects authorization, with the aim to review and exam the project from a different and outside
perspective in order to increase potential and economic value of the project.
She is involved in carrying out Quality Assurance, Quality Control and Peer Assist initiatives; in the
Company’s assets evaluation (Operated and non), identifying and recommending new or
improved techniques and processes required for a proper reservoir management.
She is supporting the business units through data room attendance in order to gather and
evaluate information and provide reservoir engineering input for the asset evaluation on potential
farm-ins or new acquisitions.

verifying the consistency with the associated capital expenditure and operating costs.
She was in charge to follow the daily production, to prepare the production report, highlighting
and justifying the main difference respect to the original budget.
She was responsible to define gas and oil reserves profiles for the Company Egyptian assets by
using different techniques, like material balance, 3D reservoir simulation models and DCA and
applying SEC regulation to define the proved reserves.
July 2001 to December 2002
Senior Reservoir and Petroleum Engineer, Eni E&P Milan HQ-Italy
She was coordinator of reservoir studies related to mature oil fields (Nigeria) carried out to define
the infilling activities for the production of the remaining reserve.
She contributed also to a feasibility study of a LNG project focusing on the gas reserves
