Introduction to Geological Uncertainty Management in Reservoir Characterization and Optimization / SpringerBriefs in Petroleum Geoscience & Engineering (PDF)

Professor of reservoir engineering at Amirkabir University of Technology (Tehran Polytechnic). He has got his MSc and PhD degrees from the French Petroleum Institute (IFP) and Heriot-Watt University in reservoir engineering and petroleum engineering, respectively. His research activities has been focused on Numerical Methods for Flow in Porous Media, inverse modeling in porous media, and Deep Learning and Artificial Intelligence for reservoir geomodeling and uncertainty quantification. Mohammad is currently working on development of closed loop field development and data assimilation techniques for history matching and production optimization. He has published more than 50 technical papers in this area of research. He is specially working on Computational Methods for Modeling of Heterogeneous Reservoirs with uncertain Geometrically Complex Geological Structure.

Dr Jebraeel Gholinezhad, BSc, MSc, PhD, CEng is currently a senior lecturer in energy systems engineering in the School of Energy and Electronic Engineering at the University of Portsmouth, UK. He is programme manager for two MSc courses and teaches energy- and engineering-related subjects including thermofluid properties and thermodynamics, engineering economics and risk analysis, well engineering and reservoir simulation. His current research is focused on the application of machine learning algorithms in fluid compositional characterisation, numerical simulation of underground CO2 storage and energy storage materials.
Dr Gholinezhad obtained his PhD from Heriot-Watt University where he conducted his research on hydrogen storage and CO2 capture using semi-clathrate hydrates resulting in five journal and conference publications. His MSc studies was on reservoir engineering at IFP School which was concluded by doing a placement in TOTAL on chemical and mechanical methods of mitigating scale depositions in oil and gas wells and downhole equipment, a project which led to his first publication in 2005. Since then, he has published his work on energy-related projects in various peer-reviewed journals including Energy and Fuels, Fluid Phase Equilibria, Chemical Engineering Research and Design and so on. Prior to becoming an academic, Dr Gholinezhad worked at Research Institute of Petroleum Industry (RIPI) in Tehran for 6 years where he contributed to various research projects on reservoir fluid studies, well performance analysis, artificial lifting, flow assurance (wax, asphaltene, gas hydrates) and water production management. Majority of these projects involved experimental work with various laboratory measurements using high-pressure equipment.
