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.

The influence of well configuration on water loss in Enhanced Geothermal Systems

Recently, ‘water loss’ has been a hot topic of discussion for EGS. Fervo reported that they have been producing only 70% of the fluid volumes that they have been injecting at their Project Red. The FORGE project reported a roughly 10% water loss rate. Because projects will have finite water rights, these results have led to concern that growth of EGS will be limited by excessive water consumption. This is a valid concern, and water availability is a legitimate factor in site-selection and project engineering. However, I believe that the problem has been overstated.

2026 ResFrac Annual Symposium Recap

On June 25, 2026, we got the ResFrac community together both in-person at the ExxonMobil campus in Spring, Texas, and virtually around the globe for our Annual Symposium. With our community growing as fast as it is, the energy in the room was absolutely buzzing. We had a jam-packed day of operator case studies, deep-dive technical sessions, and some incredible geomechanical insights from industry legends.

FracTest – An Online Tool for DFIT Interpretation

This week, we are releasing FracTest, a web-based application for interpretation of diagnostic fracture injection tests (DFITs). FracTest is available at resapps.resfrac.com, alongside our other two ResApps, StageOpt and IntTest. DFITs are small-volume fracture injection tests used to estimate stress, pore pressure, and permeability. These quantities form the foundation of the fracture and reservoir engineering work that we do in ResFrac, and so we view DFIT interpretation as one of the most important parts of our workflow.
