Our research in Well Engineering and Production Systems focuses on drilling, well completion, production optimization, flow assurance, and smart well technologies to improve performance, safety, and operational efficiency. This theme is supported by the Energy Institute.
Petroleum thermodynamics
Thermodynamic modelling of reservoir fluids under high-pressure, high-temperature conditions
Phase Equilibrium
Understanding multi-phase fluid behavior critical to production system design
PVT analysis
Pressure-volume-temperature characterization of reservoir fluids for accurate field modelling
Drilling Engineering
Advanced drilling techniques and wellbore design for safe and efficient well construction
Production Engineering
Optimizing well performance and surface facilities for maximum hydrocarbon recovery
Flow Assurance
Preventing and managing flow restrictions such as hydrates, wax, and scale in pipelines
