Hydraulic Modeling And Simulation Of Pumping Systems

Research Engineer at Southwest Research Institute, in San Antonio, Texas. His professional experiences include various experimental works, sales, technical support, drilling research assistant, and drilling laboratory teaching assistant. His Master’s thesis focused on cuttings transport velocity in horizontal and highly-inclined wells. In addition to his graduate work, he has been involved in research on double-piston pumps (experimental characterization and evaluation) and progressive cavity pumps (modeling development), as well as drilling fluids applications. Mr. Garcia has publications in areas such as cuttings transport in horizontal and deviated wells, gas and liquid pipeline transport, and centrifugal compressor surge analysis. Mr. Garcia-Hernandez holds a B.S. degree (Mechanical Engineering) from Central University of Venezuela and an M.S. degree (Petroleum Engineering) from the University of Tulsa.
