Summary
Rodrigo Serrano is a drilling optimization and product leader with 13 years of hands-on experience applying drilling dynamics, torque-and-drag, hydraulics and advanced analytics to improve well performance. Currently Product Line Manager for Drilling Optimization at NOV, he blends field engineering, real-time operations and software-savvy automation (Matlab, VBA, Spotfire, Linux) to translate data into actionable KPIs and commercial product enhancements. His background spans operator-facing roles and global project management across Baker Hughes, Nabors and eDrilling, giving him a rare mix of client-facing technical account management and deep subsurface engineering. Fluent in English and Spanish, he is practiced at mentoring teams, deploying analytics at scale, and delivering measurable drilling improvements during field trials. Less obvious: his aerospace and CFD roots (UT Austin, early work on re-entry and aeroheating) inform a rigorous, physics-first approach to downhole problem solving.
