Biography
Motaz Saeed, a Reservoir Engineer at the EERC, supports projects to determine enhanced oil recovery (EOR) performance in conventional and unconventional oil fields; monitors injection/production data from the field; processes both field and simulation data for machine learning studies and provides updated results to task leaders for project management purposes; and evaluates field injection/production operations and evaluates and interprets geoscience and engineering data. Saeed holds Ph.D. and M.S. degrees in Petroleum Engineering from the University of Aberdeen, United Kingdom; and a B.S. degree in Petroleum Engineering from the University of Khartoum, Sudan. Prior to joining the EERC, he worked as a postdoctoral research associate at Louisiana State University and the University of Aberdeen, among other positions.
Saeed’s principal areas of interest and expertise include underground hydrogen storage, CO2 sequestration, EOR, multiphase flow in porous media, geochemical and surface complexation modeling, and reservoir simulation. He has authored and coauthored several peer-reviewed and professional publications.
