About >
Agustin Garbino is a reservoir and completions engineer at ResFrac, devoted to maximizing asset value by optimizing key development parameters through proper characterization and modeling of the subsurface.
Prior to joining ResFrac, Agustin worked as a reservoir and completion engineer at Reveal Energy Services, providing consulting services for the analysis of fracture driven interactions. Before that, he worked for over 5 years as a reservoir engineer at Tecpetrol, contributing to the development of conventional and unconventional assets in the main basins in Argentina and Mexico. During this time, he focused on well forecasting, reservoir simulation and the technical evaluation of new assets.
Agustin earned his Master of Science degree in Petroleum Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin, where his thesis was directed towards the numerical modeling of proppant flowback using ResFrac. He also holds a Bachelor’s degree with honors in Petroleum Engineering from Instituto Tecnologico de Buenos Aires, Argentina.
He is passionate about tennis and is an avid Boca Juniors fan.
Proppant transport in the well is an intriguing topic that has attracted a lot of interest in recent years [1-8]. Proppant transport processes determine the uniformity of proppant placement, which has a direct impact on productivity. Cipolla et al. estimate that the difference between poor and excellent proppant uniformity is about $2.5M in net present value per well.
I’m out of superlatives – I used them all up in the title. But seriously – Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) projects have had a really, really good summer. In this article, I summarize the results that have been recently presented by Fervo and FORGE. At their annual Tech Day and in a white paper posted this week (Norbeck et al., 2024), Fervo Energy provided their first update on Project Cape, a Utah project where they are developing 400 MWe of new production over the next two years. So far, fourteen wells have been drilled, and three of them have been stimulated.
We recently held our annual company retreat. This is an important event because we are a fully remote company, and it gives us the chance to get together in-person and spend quality time. This year, we did the retreat in Houston, following URTeC and our annual symposium. We visited Space Center Houston, went to an Astros game, and ate BBQ and Tex-Mex. As a Houston native, I picked some of my favorite things to do in town! We also held a meeting on ‘company culture.’ I asked the group – how do you perceive our company culture? What do we do well, and what could we do better? Here are the highlights.
