Our Team
Cesar Mora
Msc. Geologist
Geoglogist and founder of KuenKa with 35+ years’ expertise in basin analysis and petroleum systems modeling. Specializes in integrating geochemistry with geological evaluation to assess conventional and unconventional resources. Currently focused on energy transition applications including natural hydrogen generation, CO₂ storage potential, and geothermal systems in sedimentary basins. Extensive background in prospect generation, risk assessment, and leading technical teams for exploration projects.
Jhon Muñoz
Phd. Geologist
Geologist with more than 20 years of expirience, has worked extensively in energy resource exploration, integrating structural geology, stratigraphy, and the interpretation of seismic reflection and borehole data. Now focused on renewable energy sources—such as natural hydrogen and geothermal energy—as well as CO2 sequestration.
Claudia Posada
Geologist
Senior Petroleum Geologist with 35+ years’ experience in integrated reservoir evaluation, combining stratigraphy, structural analysis, and petrophysics. Expert in basin-scale petroleum systems modeling, geochemistry, and resource assessment using mass balance and fractal analysis. Specializes in innovative methodologies for discriminating hydrocarbon phases in conventional/unconventional plays. Recent focus on advanced basin analysis techniques for gas prospectivity evaluation.
Patricia Chajin
Msc. Geologist
Geologist specializing in petroleum geochemistry (rocks, crude oils, gases) and petroleum system modeling for basin evaluation and prospectivity assessment. Expertise in seismic data QC (2D/3D), velocity modeling, time-depth conversion, seismic illumination analysis, and structural prospect validation. Skilled in geological mapping, risk management, and academic instruction.
