Agustin Garbino is a reservoir and completions engineer who supports ResFrac projects, devoted to maximizing asset value by optimizing key development parameters through proper characterization and modeling of the subsurface.

Prior to his current consulting work, 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.

ResFrac, a Leader in Advancing the Future of Subsurface Simulation, Receives Platform Investment from Banneker Partners

Banneker Partners (“Banneker”) today announced a platform investment in ResFrac Corporation (“ResFrac”), the developer of the industry’s only fully integrated reservoir simulation and hydraulic fracturing platform. ResFrac uniquely couples reservoir simulation and hydraulic fracture modeling, enabling engineers to model a well’s entire life cycle, from the moment rock is fractured through years of production, in a single, continuous simulation. This precision allows energy operators to test thousands of design scenarios in a virtual environment, optimizing completion design and maximizing resource recovery while minimizing capital risk.

Interesting Papers from the 2026 SPE Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference (HFTC)

The 2026 HFTC included 50+ technical paper presentations, a special session highlighting papers from the American Rock Mechanics Association (ARMA), and a dynamic opening session featuring the Secretary of Energy, Chris Wright, and a diverse panel discussion with representatives from Chevron, Exxon, US Department of Energy, and Colorado School of Mines.

Production impact of horizontal fractures

At the 2025 SPE International Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference, we (Dontsov, Zoback, McClure, and Fowler) presented “Hydraulic Fracture Propagation Along Bedding Planes Might Be More Prevalent Than We Think” (SPE-226637). The paper reviewed case studies with evidence of horizontal or bedding plane fractures from microseismic, fiber optics, core observations, and casing deformation.
