My research group is currently working on oil and gas reservoir simulation and experimental studies. We have developed machine learning based algorithms which can predict oil and gas well rates quickly and efficiently. These algorithms include predictions being made by purely field data as well as by physics-based machine learning. We are also investigating efficient workflows to test reservoir rock samples through experimental and simulation methods to determine suitability of an Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) technique for the corresponding reservoir. This includes conducting reservoir core testing and developing software tools to select most efficient Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) methodologies for a given reservoir. We are also doing research in petroleum reservoir production history matching to determine reservoir properties through inverse modelling.
