My Bio
Who I Am
Carlos Buenrostro is an Energy Leader, entrepreneur, and technology innovator with 26 years of international experience across the energy industry. His career combines deep technical expertise in Oil & Gas with entrepreneurship in energy consulting, solar power, computing, and emerging artificial intelligence applications.
His Oil & Gas career spans petrophysics, reservoir characterization, geomechanics, drilling, formation evaluation, and integrated subsurface studies, with experience across conventional and unconventional reservoirs, deepwater environments, and complex carbonate systems. He later founded IOPETRO, an energy consultancy focused on integrating subsurface technologies, data, and multidisciplinary expertise to solve complex reservoir and field-development challenges.
Expanding into renewable energy, Carlos founded ROCAES (IOENERGY) to develop and implement residential photovoltaic solutions and granular electrical-energy monitoring using eGauge technology, combining solar generation with detailed understanding of household energy consumption.
His entrepreneurial interests also extend into computing and artificial intelligence. He develops high-performance computing infrastructure—including custom systems with more than 200 GB of RAM—to explore and build data-intensive and AI-enabled applications.
Throughout his career, Carlos has combined engineering, energy, computing, and entrepreneurship with a consistent objective: applying technology and multidisciplinary thinking to create practical solutions, develop new businesses, and generate value across the evolving energy industry.
