Seminar: ”Oil Spills”
26 abril 2016, 11:20 • Maria João Correia Colunas Pereira
Next Wednesday, April 27th, at 11h30, the seminar "Oil Spills”, will be presented by Mr. Rodrigo Fernandes. Venue: Room V1.33, Civil Engineering Building, IST - Alameda Campus.
Rodrigo Fernandes is a researcher at MARETEC - Marine Environment and Technology Center from Instituto Superior Técnico (Lisbon University – Portugal), involved in R& D activities in water pollution dispersion modelling with special focus in oil and chemical spills, and operational modelling systems and downstream services.
He was the developer of the oil and chemical spill weathering modules in MOHID Water modelling system, and he was the creator of the operational modelling framework presently used in MARETEC. He is developing his PhD in Environmental Engineering (entitled "Risk Assessment of Oil Spill Incidents Supported by Numerical Modelling"). He has a graduation in Environmental Engineering and a Msc (pre-Bologna) in Ecology, Management and Modelling Marine Resources.
He is author in 9 peer-reviewed papers, 4 book chapters and more than 20 conference papers, and at the present time he is coordinating activities related to the development of numerical modelling tasks and technological tools for oil spill risk management in ISDAMP and ARCOPOLplatform EU funded projects.

Seminar: Salt in Petroleum Exploration, friend or foe?
28 março 2016, 16:41 • Elisa do Nascimento Pires Costa
Next Friday, April 1th, at 11h00, the seminar “Salt in Petroleum Exploration, friend or foe?" will be held, presented by Mr. Gil Machado, from Galp Energia.
Venue: Room V1.08, Civil Engineering Building, IST - Alameda Campus
A geologist with a degree from the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon with an European Doctorate from University of Aveiro-Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic dealing with Stratigraphy and Petroleum Geology. Worked for Galp Exploration and Production as a Geoscientist since 2010 on all stages of exploration and development planning, from new opportunities to pre-development. Seismic interpretation and sedimentary fairways analysis using seismic attributes were some of the main work areas, including in salt basins.
Worked for Petreoleum Development Oman from 2012 to 2013 as a Stratigrapher. In PDO he was in charge of the Lower Paleozoic and PreCambrian Stratigraphy in the GeoSolutions team. Worked on well stratigraphy while drilling, well litho- and biostratigraphic correlation, refinement of biostratigraphic schemes among other tasks.
