Achievements/Research

The Petroleum Engineering department has been involved in extensive research work. Some of the key research areas are:

• Deepwater development (heavy foam for well drilling).
• EOR (thermal & surfactant) for complicated reservoirs.
• Reservoir characterization.
• Petroleum Data Technology Consortium (PDTC)
• Horizontal well completion (ICD, DTS technologies).
• Multi-lateral wells (fishbone).
• Low-permeability reservoirs.
• Synthetic oil-based muds.
• Fracing technology.
• Bit corrosion.
