Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarcelo Benítez is a postdoctoral research fellow with 11 years of industry and academic experience focused on cryogenic CO2 capture, CCUS, and reservoir-scale coupled processes. He holds a Ph.D. from KAUST and an M.Sc. from Technische Universität Clausthal, and has led experimental work under high-pressure, high-temperature conditions to advance a cryogenic carbon capture pilot and trailer rig for industrial deployment. His background uniquely blends hands-on field operations in South America (drilling and rig management) with deep laboratory expertise in interfacial phenomena and CO2 gravity-assisted drainage. Marcelo has taught and restructured petroleum engineering courses, bringing practical operational insight into the classroom and mentoring the next generation of engineers. He is adept at translating physics-based experiments into scalable solutions for enhanced oil recovery and subsurface CO2 storage. Based in Saudi Arabia, he combines international experience across three continents with a practical drive to accelerate the energy transition.
