Alberta, Canada

• Modeling heat transfer and multiphase flow in pipes to extract geothermal energy
• Retrofitting of abandoned wells in Alberta and optimizing output efficiency and economics in closed and open loop geothermal systems
• Research proposals preparation including research goals, required staff for each task, project scheduling, and budgeting

• Conducted applied research in collaboration with Cenovus Energy and Imperial Oil
• Measured and modelled fluid-fluid interactions of Cold Lake bitumen and light solvents (e.g., phase behavior, viscosity, asphaltene precipitation, etc.)
• Developed a reliable fluid model for predicting fluid-fluid interactions of solvent-bitumen mixtures
• Simulated thermal recovery methods and optimized these methods in Clearwater Formation according to technical and economic criteria (e.g., SAGD and Solvent Aided Process)
• Simulated Alkaline-Surfactant-Polymer flooding in Warner field core plugs
• Designed a set-up and developed procedures to investigate solvent-oil interactions

Edmonton, Canada Area

• Communicated regularly with students in-person or through emails for problem-solving and explaining course materials (group of 25 graduate students)
• Ran tutorial sessions (for group of 40 undergraduate students), prepared and marked assignments
• Developed time-management skills by simultaneous accomplishment of teaching and research tasks

Tehran Province, Iran

• Performed initial oil-in-place calculation, volumetric uncertainty analysis and reservoir simulation of target reservoirs (Sarvak-Fahliyan) in South Yaran Field using PETREL 2012.2.
• Estimated reservoir pressure using MDT and PVT data and interpret well test data using SAPHIR
• Analyzed log and core data to determine OWC, initial water saturation, permeability-porosity correlation and rock typing. Also collaborated with the geological modeling group to propagate these reservoir rock-fluid.
• Created well model and obtained the best VLP correlation matching well test data
• Performed nodal analysis to optimize the production tubing size and studied the potential for artificial lift (gas/pump lift) using Petroleum Expert to enhance oil recovery
• Generated representative hydraulic tabulation for a producing well and incorporate with the simulation model to calculate wellhead pressures under different flowing conditions
