Ecopetrol is the biggest oil company in Colombia. The enterprise required a solution to lower the number of accidents during oil extraction and also the irresponsible actions of workers during this process.

Ecopetrol teamed up with the government and created a competition, called Retolab Ecopetrol. We won with the following proposal:

We created a system that receives data from a VR Simulation in which the user performs a real-life procedure and answers questions about precautions, rules, and necessary equipment.

With this data, we create a Risk Profile for each worker. Depending on how high the Risk Profile percentage is, the worker will be either accepted to work or refused and forced to improve his Risk Profile.

During this time I improved my approach to UX in VR tremendously. After a lot of user testing, I managed to overcome VR-Design challenges like: World-space UI, User flows, Interactions, User's movement and more.

Ecopetrol gave us one month to have an MVP. My role as Producer was over-stressing because of the short time we had but at the same time rewarding. I managed to make a production plan that fitted our needs in one month and also kept my team motivated in a highly stressful situation.
