Optimizing mature waterfloods combining reservoir Physics and artificial intelligence

SPEAKERS

Carlos Calad Senior Vice President Business Operations, Tachyus Corporation

ABOUT THE SESSION

Carlos Calad, Senior Vice President of Business Operations at Tachyus Corporation, brings over 40 years of rich experience in the oil and gas industry, particularly in oilfield services. Having lived and worked in more than 10 countries across four continents, he is a highly adaptable leader with deep expertise in line management, strategic planning, marketing, and sales. His core strengths include P&L and operations management, upstream services marketing, key account handling, and fostering strong relationships with national oil companies. Carlos is driven by challenges and is known for his ability to deliver value through strategic insight and operational excellence in diverse global environments.

He will share his views on why relying solely on data is not enough in the complex and dynamic environment of oil and gas operations, stressing that physics-based modeling is essential to derive accurate insights and make effective decisions. Carlos will introduce Data Physics, a cutting-edge approach that seamlessly merges real-time data with reservoir physics to create more predictive and actionable models. This innovative method enables operators to move beyond reactive decision-making and toward proactive optimization. He will support his insights with real-world examples, including a significant production boost achieved by redistributing injection strategies and a successful reduction in injection volumes while maintaining output levels—highlighting how Data Physics delivers both economic and operational value across upstream operations.

Key Topics-

1. Why data alone is not enough and physics is required

2. Data Physics - an innovative solution combining data and physics

3. Case examples: increasing production by redistribution of injection; reducing injection and maintaining production.
