In collaboration with the Veracruz State University, the Universidad Veracruzana, and the Mexican company chaired by Mariano Hernández Palmeros, nuvoil; develop technology for the oil and gas industry in Mexico.
In 2016, UV and nuvoil signed an agreement to develop technology in Artificial Production Systems.
Technology that will be registered to obtain its patent and that could revolutionize the model, since only for Mexico, between 40% and 70% of the oil production comes from mature fields, which does not mean that they are incapable of generating more barrels of oil, but most of them only require greater investment and technology.
“The new energy model is a historic opportunity with which Mexico will be able to take advantage of its energy resources in a rational, sustainable way and in accordance with the principles of national sovereignty, economic efficiency and social benefit. The model is currently working with technology from abroad, so it should be noted that this new technology will be 100 percent from Veracruz and will be patented for its commercialization and exploitation,”
this stated by Dr. Pedro Javier García Ramírez, researcher and leader of the project of the Institute of Engineering of the UV.
The multidisciplinary project includes the participation of researchers of recognized trajectory from the UV, from the National Institute of Optical Astrophysics and Electronics (INAOE), the Research and Advanced Studies Center (Cinvestav) of the IPN in Guadalajara, from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and from the Meritorious Autonomous University of Puebla (BUAP).
It also implies the training and development of talent. In less than a year the results are tangible; talented students graduated from the Engineering Institute of the UV developed knowledge by developing their thesis as input to the project.
nuvoil relies on national talent
Students from different careers of the UV, enthusiastic about oil engineering, decided to focus their knowledge to learn about this topic that is increasing worldwide. With the title of “Optimization of the extraction process, monitoring and storage of oil from a jet type hydraulic pumping system”, the students were given the task of improving this system, which by many experts is the most reliable artificial lifting system. The works started in June 2016 and will last for three years and will involve the participation and development of more students.
Mariano Hernández Palmeros to this respect states:
“The demand for talent in the sector will increase substantially; in nuvoil we are aware of our responsibility with Veracruz and Mexico in the current scenario. The local private sector, institutions of higher education, among others, must be part of a great inclusive and strategic call.”
Finally María Estela Montes Carmona, Director of the Institute of Engineering of the UV and Pedro Javier García Ramírez, researcher and project leader, deeply appreciated the confidence of Mariano Hernández Palmeros, chairman of nuvoil’s board of directors, to collaborate with the UV, to believe in the national potential and not to look for it in foreign universities; with the support it provides to Mexican students helps the country’s economic development.
Currently, nuvoil has a presence throughout the Gulf of Mexico and has started operations in the Pacific and this 2017 celebrates 20 years of experience.
