Research Summary

(inferred from publications by AI)

This research integrates advanced methods in Physical Sciences to enhance oil recovery through enhanced recovery techniques, reservoir analysis, safety reporting culture development, numerical modeling, and risk assessment. The work encompasses the integration of CO2 and gaseous solvents in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) strategies, alongside reservoir characterization using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and phase equilibrium modeling. It also explores the application of hydraulic fracturing simulations and rock mechanics models to understand and optimize recovery processes. Additionally, it addresses occupational health and safety through a generative voluntary safety reporting culture model applied across different operational sectors, ensuring comprehensive and data-driven approaches in reservoir engineering and simulation.
