Reservoir Engineering
Reservoir engineering research includes topics such as how to extract oil and gas efficiently from reservoirs taking into account geology, well locations, well type, well performance, injection and production strategies, production history, reservoir characteristics, fluid characteristics, data analytics, economics and many other factors.
This research is coupled with closely related topics such as formation evaluation, well testing, enhanced oil recovery, natural gas engineering, analytical and numerical simulation methods and reservoir characterization. This type of research is focused on conventional and unconventional reservoirs, conventional and heavy oil and other subsurface applications such as geological storage of carbon dioxide, coal bed methane, gas hydrates, in-situ mining and groundwater modeling and remediation.
