Alfredo E. Guzman
Alfredo
Eduardo Guzmán was born in Mexico City in 1947, where
he lived until 1967.
In 1971 he obtained a bachelor’s of science degree
and in 1973 a master’s of science degree, both in
geology, from Texas Tech University. While at school
he worked as a teaching assistant, and then for a
year-and-a-half he worked at the Mexican Petroleum
Institute as a research assistant doing carbonate
diagenesis.
In 1974 he joined Pemex Exploración y Producción as
an explorationist, with responsibilities that ranged
from rig-sitting to field mapping and sedimentology
projects in the different basins of northern México.
In 1994-1995 he led the Burgos Basin Project in northeastern
México, which increased gas production from less than
200 mmcfd to over 1 bcfd today.
In 1995 he became exploration manager for the North
Region of Pemex´s E&P, and in 1997 became planning
manager for the same region. In 1999 Guzmán was named
exploration strategies coordinator, the highest exploration
position in the company.
Since 2002 he has been subdirector for all E&P
operations of the North Region, being the first geologist
ever to hold this position.
Guzmán has published widely, has been a lecturer at
the universities of Sonora, Chihuahua and San Luis
Potosí, and is a past president of the Asociación
Mexicana de Geólogos Petroleros; past president of
the Poza Rica section of the Asociación de Ingenieros
Petroleros de México; a member of the Asociación Mexicana
de Geofisicos de Exploración, the Mexican section
of SPE and of the Academia Mexicana de Ingeniería;
and is a director for the Circum Pacific Council for
Energy and Mineral Resources.
Guzmán has been a member of AAPG since 1969. AAPG
activities include serving on the Membership, International
Liaison and Distinguished Lecturer committees, and
on the Visiting Geologist Program.
He is slated to occupy the presidency of the Latin
American Region in 2004, and he is chairman for the
2004 AAPG International Conference and Exhibition,
which will be held in Cancún, Mexico.
As a student he received scholarships from Union Oil
Co. of California, the State of Texas and the Mexican
Petroleum Institute, and he obtained the W.A. Tarr
Award from Sigma Gamma Epsilon. In the XXIII AIPM
National Conference, Guzmán received a Best Paper
award, and in the XXXVII Conference he received the
Mexican Petroleum Institute Award for his contributions
to the research and development in the national petroleum
industry.
