Mauricio brings a 15-year career in mechanical engineering, commissioning, operations, maintenance, and reliability management roles in the chemical, petrochemical, and oil and gas industries and will head up the division from Brazil.
Throughout ABL’s established Central and South American operations in Brazil, Panama, and Mexico, Mauricio will bolster our Asset Integrity Management (AIM) portfolio to bring strategic asset management, maintenance, inventory, and data optimization solutions to our clients that drive efficiencies and increase their operational excellence. These services will enhance clients’ operations across renewables, maritime, and oil & gas markets. Mauricio will also support us in markets where we have a growing consultancy presence, such as ABL’s sister company, OWC, in Colombia and Costa Rica.
“With ABL’s well-established portfolio of services in the oil and gas, maritime, and energy markets in South America, now including AIM, Mauricio is in a great position to unlock opportunities for clients with solutions that will increase operational excellence across their projects and assets. Another area of considerable expansion where we are excited to have Mauricio drive the AIM support, especially in Brazil, is renewable energy and energy transition, where ABL also has a successful existing foundation,” comments Andreas Theophanatos, Regional Director for Brazil.
As part of the AIM expansion, Mauricio will also showcase ABL’s software suite to the South American region, including the award-winning AssetVoice, Effio, and ePAV. Effio has been used successfully on multiple oil and gas projects and clients, including supermajors, international oil companies, and renewable energy facilities. AssetVoice tracks assets and manages change across varying industries, such as oil and gas rental services and the healthcare sector.
Expressing his excitement about joining ABL, Mauricio states: “I am delighted to be a part of ABL’s AIM expansion into Central and South America. Throughout my career in maintenance and reliability management roles, I have always noticed a lack of specialized and customized asset integrity management support. ABL’s technical offering in AIM benefits from the multi-disciplined marine and engineering expertise of the wider ABL Group, a recognized reputation in driving efficiencies in marine and energy markets, a global track record, and an expanding suite of proprietary software products.”
ABL’s AIM offering includes strategic asset management, maintenance, inventory, and data optimization solutions that enable operations across the globe to be safe, efficient, and profitable. Expanding the AIM portfolio to the Central and South American region signals ABL’s commitment to technical and service excellence, providing innovative end-to-end solutions that allow our clients across energy and oceans to receive unparalleled support throughout the entire lifecycle of their projects.
