• Conducting experimental research using a high-temperature, high-pressure, variable-volume, agitated, fully windowed, phase behavior cell to observe phase behavior that occurs in various chemical engineering and petroleum engineering processes.• Phase behavior experiments include the determination of cloud points, dew points, bubble points, foam formation, and foam stability.• Solubilities of chemicals in high pressure fluids can be determined, for example the solubility of a surfactant or polymer in supercritical CO2.

• Determining if commercially available nonionic, liquid (pumpable) surfactants can dissolve in CO2 at conditions commensurate with the CO2 huff-and-puff process used to enhance oil recovery from fractured shale formations • Shifting the wettability of oil-wet shale samples toward CO2-wet via the addition of these CO2-soluble non-ionic surfactants that adsorb on shale and/or emulsify oil• Performing cyclic, high pressure, CO2 huff-n-puff experiments to determine if the addition of small amounts (e.g., 0.1wt%) CO2-soluble surfactants to the CO2 injected during the huff portion of the cycle results in additional oil recovery during the puff portion of the cycles.• Collaborating with faculty advisors and researchers at National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) to develop these experimental procedures and interpret the results.• Prepare reports, presentations, and papers to disseminate the findings.
