Sofiane Djezzar

Biography

Dr. Sofiane Djezzar is a Geoscientist at the EERC, where he develops and oversees the development of geophysical models of the subsurface, performs regional characterization, and performs petrophysical analyses of geophysical well log data, interfacing with a diverse team of scientists and engineers to assess project uncertainties in oil and gas development and geologic CO2 storage. Dr. Djezzar has worked on several projects related to 3D seismic interpretation and 3D modeling. He has also worked on several projects related to geomechanics, borehole imagery analysis, core and thin-section descriptions, and high-pressure mercury injection data analysis. Dr. Djezzar holds a Ph.D. degree in Petroleum Engineering from UND and Magistere and Engineer degrees in Structural Geology from Houari Boumerdiene Sciences and Technology University, Bab-Ezzouar, Algiers, Algeria.

Dr. Djezzar’s principal areas of interest and expertise include enhanced oil recovery; CO2 storage; basin modeling; petroleum system evaluation; and characterization and modeling of naturally fractured reservoirs using core, thin sections, borehole imagery, geomechanics, high-pressure mercury injection data, and 2D/3D seismic data. He is a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers, American Rock Mechanics Association, American Association of Petroleum Geologists, and Algerian Association of Gas Industry. Dr. Djezzar has authored or coauthored numerous professional publications.
