COORDINATOR of the "PARANÁ BASIN STUDY GROUP" (GT BACIA DO
PARANÁ), 1985-1986, leading a group of 9 geoscientists that reevaluated all aspects of the petroleum geology of the Paleozoic Paraná Basin, and defined several plays and the areas with the highest potential for petroleum exploration within the basin. The results were later tested by PETROBRAS/NEXPAR (created as a result of this study group’s recommendations), via extensive seismic acquisition and drilling of 5 exploratory wells, the last of which discovered the Barra Bonita gas field. This discovery led to the discovery of the Mato Rico gas field. Nine scientific publications (articles, abstracts) were published as a result of these studies (see list in next chapter).
CHIEF GEOLOGIST of the BRAZILIAN INTERIOR BASINS SECTOR of the
Exploration Department (DEPEX/SEBINT), 1987-1988, in charge of supervising all exploratory activities in the interior basins of Brazil (Paraná,
Parnaíba, Amazonas, Solimões, all Paleozoic in age, and São Francisco and
Parecis, of Proterozoic age). During this time I acquired great experience in all aspects of the petroleum geology of the Brazilian Paleozoic basins, where oil is already being produced in the Solimões Basin and discoveries of gas are being developed in the Amazonas and Paraná Basins. I was also responsible for conducting an exploratory program in the Proterozoic São Francisco Basin, where three wells had been drilled; two of which discovered small amounts of Precambrian indigenous gas.
CHIEF GEOLOGIST of the BRAZILIAN INTERIOR BASINS SECTOR of the
Exploration Department (DEPEX/DITEC/SEBINT), 1994-1996, in charge of conducting all exploratory activities in the new frontier interior basins of Brazil, such as Acre (Paleozoic/Mesozoic), Parecis (Proterozoic/Paleozoic) Tacutu
(Mesozoic), and São Francisco (Proterozoic). Also responsible for the
Remote Sensing section of the Exploration Department.
COORDINATOR of Exploratory Projects of Northern and Northeastern Brazil
(onshore and offshore), Exploration Department (E&P/GEINOF/COPEX-NOR), 01/08/96-31/08/98, in charge of supervising technically and economically all exploratory activities in the onshore sedimentary basins of Solimões, Amazonas, Parnaíba, Parecis, and in the offshore basins of northern and northeastern Brazil

Co-author of SIPLEX (Exploration Planning System), in-house software responsible for the evaluation of geologic risks, estimation of the chance of success for exploratory drilling locations and for the planning of the exploration portfolio and exploratory campaign of the company. Technical leader of the team that mapped the ultradeep seismic sections shot by ION-GXT in the offshore basins of Espírito Santo, Campos, Santos and Pelotas in Brazil; and in the continental margin of Angola, Congo and Gabão. The methodology and mapping concepts developed in this project were unique and led to a revolutionary way of looking at deep crustal framework of passive margins.
