Summary of the experiences and competences of Claudia
You will find me a self-motivated individual that finds joy in solving puzzles and learning, which values integrity, is a goal and customer-oriented professional and is driven by challenges. With strong research skills, which include collecting data and analyzing information from multiple sources, always with a macro view of the systems and processes involved in a case study, and a long experience in dialogue with the most different decision-making levels.
I am a researcher, master in chemical and biochemical process technologies, working in the oil and gas sector for almost two decades with extensive experience in intellectual property management and in the last 5 years I am dedicated to the study of microbiological corrosion in production systems.
Looking for help? Claudia can help you with the following items
I am a microbiological corrosion researcher since 2019, more specifically, a researcher of corrosion in the oil and gas industry, with emphasis on the exploration and production sector, in the following topics: biofouling, biogenic generation of H2S, conventional methods of microbial quantification, and molecular methods of analysis and
quantification of microbial groups (metagenomics, dPCR and qPCR).
Main Projects
▪ Microbial Control in Mature Oilfields
▪ Advanced diagnostic and mitigation of microbial contamination on water injection systems – improvement/maintenance of water injectivity and enhancing oil recovery
▪ Mitigation of MIC in subsea pipelines
▪ Evaluation of H2S generation
▪ MIC risk assessment of flexible pipes
▪ Evaluation of new techniques for SRB quantification
▪ Evaluation of alternative biocides – Bacteriophages
