LIFE AT KAUST

RESEARCH IN THE ENERGY RESOURCES & PETROLEUM ENGINEERING PROGRAM

Faculty in the Energy Resources and Petroleum Engineering Academic Program engage in interdisciplinary research to understand and model hydro- chemo- thermo- mechanical coupled processes in the subsurface, with emphasis on multiphase and reactive fluid flow (oil, gas, brine, water, CO2 and steam).  The program focuses on modern reservoir description, engineering and management.

Current Research Areas include:

​Advanced sensors and tracers fr geophysical characterization
and monitoring
CO2 sequestration
​Enhanced oil recovery
Geothermal energy
​Hydrocarbon recovery
​Hydro-thermo-chemo-mechanical coupled processes
Multiphase and reactive fluid flow in the subsurface
​Novel sensing techniques for reservoir characterization
​Red Sea exploration
​Reservoir simulation
Unconventional reservoir exploration and development
​Well engineering
