Welcome
The goal of this consortium is to
engaged in collaborative
research to advance the
fundamental understanding of
porous media processes. Our
core research areas include the
study of surfactant and foam
Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR)
processes, wettability alteration
with smart water, and
NMR & molecular simulation studies of
unconventional formations.
As
the director of this research consortium,
I thank you for
your support of our research
and welcome you to potential
opportunities for collaboration
and participation.
Dr. George Hirasaki, director
Lisa Biswal, Co-Director Walter Chapman, Co-Director
