Christian Garrido Velasco

Provided technical and operational engineering expertise to enhance oil production from offshore and onshore wells. Specialized in developing solutions, treatment design, and technical proposals writing for: near wellbore acid stimulation, heavy oil (6-16 °API) viscosity reduction treatments, acid fracturing, and inorganic scale control for natural fractured limestone and sandstone reservoirs.

• Designed and executed hydraulic fractures for eight wells with CT-actuated sliding sleeves on a 28x28 rotation.
• Took responsibility for the design and implementation of hydraulic fractures in wells with an average horizontal section length of 1,350 m (4,430 ft).
• Performed step rate test, DFIT analysis, and software simulations calibrated by pressure matching for fracture growth estimations in GOHFER.

• Managed the design of offshore well production maintenance operations, such as near well bore and formation matrix acid stimulation, and assisted with nitrogen. All the treatments were based on StimPro software simulations.
• Streamlined the process of requesting and securing necessary fluids and materials for acid stimulations, concurrently managing quarterly district forecasts to guarantee the consistent availability of required supplies.

• I conducted independent research from 2018 to 2022, analyzing investment prospects predominantly in the energy and industrial chemical sectors. Achieved an average capital percentage gain of 27.5% from these investments.
• Engaged in investment activities while attending an 18 (out of 24) month Master's program in the Economics of Technology at UNAM.

• Engineer team leader for a crew that routinely pumped 750 tons (1.5 million lbs) of proppant per day, working at temperatures of -23 °C (-10 °F).
• Achieved a 20% decrease in average invoice reconciliation time for a 24-hour crew, through the implementation of procedural changes on all three personnel rotations.
• Demonstrated expertise in overseeing specialized tasks, such as on-the-fly diversion and pillar fracturing, along with providing guidance and training to junior engineers.

• Appointed with the introduction of a new on-the-fly bio-diversion product and adapted process to local capabilities, resulting in securing six additional jobs from the original of only two.
• Successfully acquired and completed three small acid cleaning projects for a new client amidst a period of economic slowdown. Demonstrated exceptional abilities in optimizing oil production, positioning the client's business as crucial support for the company.

• Resolved cross-linking problem for successful field deployment of a low pH hydraulic fracturing fluid, made from oil-field produced water.
• Selected to join a senior engineer group in the inaugural College of Completions Engineering program based in Houston.
• Spearheaded a successful transition as the engineer in charge of a hydraulic fracture crew that had primarily focused on acid treatments.
• Selected as lead engineer for the district's top 24-hour crew, eventually overseeing two 24-hour crews of 16 field engineers.

• Led efforts as field engineer to enhance acid treatment frequency by 20%, resulting in a monthly average of 19 incident-free operations encompassing nitrogen foamed acid and water control applications.
• Succeeded in being the inaugural engineer of my cohort to deliver a technical presentation for promotion as a Technical Professional.
