The Sener engineering and technology group has a new oil and gas director – Juan Carlos García, who will now be responsible for managing the company’s activities in this sector. Consequently, García joins Sener’s power, oil and gas business unit, which comprises the oil and gas, power, gas solutions, environment and operations departments.

With a degree in Industrial Engineering from the Universidad Pontificia de Comillas (ICAI) and an Executive MBA from the IE business school in Madrid, his 20-year professional career has included various responsibilities in projects for industrial and marine plants. Furthermore, for 14 years he was head of Development and Commercial within different power and oil andgas departments in various countries for some of the sector’s main companies.

Before joining Sener, he acted as representative for the ACS group, between 2002 and 2010, in a number of joint tenders and projects with Sener, such as the Saggas regasification terminal in Sagunto (phase 1 and extensions), the extension to the BBG regasification terminal in Zierbena, and the Castor underground storage system, all of them in Spain, as well as the Cangrejera CCR project for Pemex, in Mexico.

In the oil and gas sector, Sener is a turnkey contractor and provides operation and maintenance services in the hydrocarbon refining (downstream), distribution (midstream) and exploration and production (upstream) sectors.

Its portfolio of references includes natural gas treatment plants, process and petrochemical plants such as CCR La Cangrejera (Mexico), and the Saih Nihayda and Saih Rawl plants (Oman); gas pipelines, natural gas compressor stations, fuel storage terminals, and underground gas storage systems such as the compressor stations in Frontera and Los Ramones (Mexico), as well as the port facilities for the BP Oil refinery in Castellón (Spain), and the marine terminal in Tuxpan (Mexico), where Sener built the five storage tanks.

Finally, Sener also develops plants to refine used oils to produce new base lubricants, such as the Ecolube plant in Madrid (Spain), where it uses its own patented technology.
