Current Research
Perform multidisciplinary research that combined geosciences, geomechanics, geotechnical, petroleum engineering, and reservoir engineering, as demonstrated by the following:
- Geology Areas include (petroleum geology, reservoir characterization, sedimentology, facies analysis, depositional environment, diagenesis, paleo-environment interpretations, subsurface analysis, basin analysis, reservoir quality, formation evaluation, and unconventional and conventional resources)
- Petroleum geomechanics (pore pressure, wellbore stability, in-situ stress orientation and magnitudes)
- Petroleum engineering (petroleum geomechanics, Drilling mechanics, Fluids, casing design)
- Reservoir engineering (Reservoir geology and geophysics, Reservoir Damage, Production optimization, Water flooding, Stimulations, Fluids flow; Enhanced recovery)
- Geophysics Areas include (Formation evaluation, petrophysics, borehole geophysics, rock typing)
- Geochemistry Areas include (Basin modeling, petroleum system, isotope analysis)
- Anthropocene and climate change
- Energy storage
- Machine learning in oil and gas industry
