Agustin Garbino

Senior Consulting Engineer

[email protected]

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.

Targeting the reserves between clusters: modeling strategic refracs and infills in ResFrac

Older, wide-spacing Delaware Basin wells can leave high-pressure rock stranded between fractures. Devon used ResFrac to design liner refracs whose peak rates came in within 1% of forecast, and to show why an offset infill beats a refrac at tight cluster spacing.

Automatic Report Generation in ResFracPro

This month’s release has a feature that I am particularly excited about – automatic report generation. The reports are generated automatically when a simulation finishes. Also, reports can be generated on-demand for simulations that have already been completed. The reports are highly customizable, allowing the user to generate different line plots, 3D visualizations, preview plots, and tabular data. The user can provide a template PPT, so that the report is made with their preferred PPT style.

Introducing ResFrac’s New Multisector Capability

This month’s ResFrac release has a ton of new capabilities. The most important is called ‘multisector’ – the ability to split different sections of the well across different computers. This capability provides a computationally efficient and practical way to run larger models and handle complex scenarios. Hats off to Danial Zeinabady and Michael Nole, who have been the main developers on this project. Beyond them, it’s been a big team effort, pulling in folks from cloud, simulator, and user-success. First, let’s review – what is sector modeling? Why do we need a ‘multi’ version of it?
