1) Thermodynamics and
2) Fluid Flow.
Irreversible Thermodynamics, Interfacial Thermodynamics, and Bulk-Phase Equilibrium Thermodynamics cover research projects related to hydrate, wax, and asphaltene precipitation and deposition, compositional variation in hydrocarbon reservoirs, gas condensate reservoirs, and cold production in heavy oil reservoirs, as well as efficient computations for hydrocarbon reservoir applications.
Fluid flow mainly focuses on multiphase multicomponent flow in both fractured/layered and homogenous media. Issues related to natural depletion, gas injection and water injection are addressed.
