(Colombia)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hernando Bott\u00eda Ram\u00edrez&nbsp;is a chemical engineer with over 15 years of experience in applied research, specializing in catalytic processes, Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), and fluid phase behavior. Throughout his career, he has worked by integrating scientific knowledge with technological development, contributing to the design of innovative and scalable solutions for the energy and materials sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During his time at the Colombian Petroleum Institute (ICP) of Ecopetrol, he led the transition to mercury-free technologies in PVT analysis and developed advanced protocols for the characterization of heavy crude oils. In 2010, he directed the implementation of an experimental platform to evaluate air injection as a thermal EOR method. This work supported the establishment of the Basis of Design and enabled the engineering of the in-situ combustion pilot in the Chichimene field. He later headed the EOR laboratory, where he conducted experimental studies on polymer flooding, surfactant injection, air injection, and steam flooding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following his tenure at Ecopetrol, he has led projects focused on microwave-assisted EOR, using ferromagnetic nanoparticles to enhance near-wellbore heating and promote in-situ upgrading via aquathermolysis. He also developed emulsions stabilized with Janus-type nanoparticles to promote ignition in in-situ combustion processes. In parallel, he has contributed to infrastructure resilience by rehabilitating carbon steel pipelines with non-metallic materials and developing hydrogen transport systems using polymer liners enhanced with graphene oxide nanoparticles.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:15% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"734\" height=\"968\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eppetroecuador.ec\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/6_Ramirez_CV.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25963 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eppetroecuador.ec\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/6_Ramirez_CV.jpg 734w, https:\/\/www.eppetroecuador.ec\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/6_Ramirez_CV-227x300.jpg 227w, https:\/\/www.eppetroecuador.ec\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/6_Ramirez_CV-18x24.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.eppetroecuador.ec\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/6_Ramirez_CV-27x36.jpg 27w, https:\/\/www.eppetroecuador.ec\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/6_Ramirez_CV-36x48.jpg 36w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 734px) 100vw, 734px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:15px\"><strong>Edgar Ram\u00edrez Jaramillo, Ph.D.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Director of the Flow Assurance Laboratory<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Center of Technologies for Exploration and Production, Instituto Mexicano del Petr\u00f3leo (M\u00e9xico)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He studied physics at the Faculty of Sciences of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), with a Master&#8217;s degree in Physics from UNAM and a PhD in Materials Science and Engineering from the Materials Research Institute of UNAM.
