Background

About Sergio Caicedo

Artificial Lift Expert with 30+ years of experience maximizing oil production and reducing costs through well surveillance, integrated asset modeling, and flow assurance. I thrive in multidisciplinary teams where my deep operational knowledge—combined with a passion for technology—drives innovative solutions for complex challenges. My Hybrid Value: Subject Matter Expert: Optimization, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis for GL, ESP, SRP, and PCP systems across diverse reservoirs (deep/shallow, heavy/light oil, on/offshore). AI & Data Science Collaboration: Partnered with ML teams to develop smart surveillance and failure prediction tools (e.g, ESP/Gas Lift). While not a developer, I bridge the gap between oilfield realities and AI potential—guiding projects with operational insights and prioritizing high-impact use cases. Project Leadership: Delivered large-scale technology projects on time/budget, aligning technical execution with business strategy. What Drives Me: Turning data into actionable strategies for production gains. Mentoring teams to merge domain expertise with cutting-edge tools. Pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in AI-driven oilfield optimization WEBINARS PUBLISHED Tópicos de Análisis Nodal comúnmente no mencionados o no entendidos Monitoreo de pozos con Bombeo Electrosumergible & t=2680s Curvas Enriquecidas EIPR para selección simultánea de producción objetivo y profundidad de la bomba & t=2206s Echometer for the estimation of the productivity index in intermittent gas lift wells & t=391s Commonly Misunderstood or Unmentioned Nodal Analysis Topics & t=24s Core Competencies • Artificial Lift • Uncertainty Analysis • Formation Damage • Oil Production • Well Stimulation • Production Optimization • Multidisciplinary Studies • Numerical Methods & Well Simulation • Training • Surveillance & Automation Artificial Lift Experience Gas Lift continuous and Intermittent Electrical Submersible Pump, Progressive Cavity Pump Sucker Rod Pump Simulation of production Systems/Nodal Analysis PIPESIM, WELLFLOW, PROSPER, SUBPUMP, RODSTAR, PCPUMP Artificial lift Design, Diagnosis, Performance Analysis and Optimization.
