The top rank in each category wins a free trip to […]

by Rafael M. Castaneda Neto, PhD Graduate, Heriot-Watt University  I joined the Carbonate Reservoir Group at Heriot-Watt University in October 2014 to start my PhD in fractured reservoir simulation under Sebastian Geiger’s and Florian Doster’s supervision. My PhD project was funded by the DOE of the United States and by Energi Simulation formerly Foundation CMG […]

The first part of 2018 turned out to be a stellar start to the year for our research group. We had several students graduate (Evan, Eunnam, and Liwei) and for celebration some of us out for a nice lunch. After lunch we took a photograph with the Nittany LION! The lion is the 2nd most […]

Dr. Karpyn, Energi Simulation Research Co-Chair on Fluid Behavior & Rock Interactions, has […]

By Dr. Sebastan Geiger, Energi Simulation Chair from Heriot-Watt University I had the great honour to co-chair, together with Bertraind Gauthier from Total, the 3rd EAGE (European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers) Workshop on Naturally Fractured Reservoirs (NFR) in Oman, after having served on the organising committee for the first two editions of this successful […]

by Dr. Nathan Deisman, representing Dr. Rick Chalaturnyk, Energi Simulation Research Chair, University of Alberta, March 2018 It was great to attend the SPE Canada Unconventional Resources conference last month and be a part of the Energi Simulation booth at the tradeshow. Our research work focused mostly on reservoir geomechanics modeling, that drew a lot […]

by Dr. Kun Wang, representing Dr. John Chen, Energi Simulation Research Chair, University of Calgary, March 2018 SPE Canada Unconventional Resources Conference provided us a platform to share and discuss the most advanced technology in unconventional resources production with people from industry and academia. This two-day event had over 40 excellent presentations on various topics […]

by Xu Wang & Eric Mackay, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh Scotland, March 2018 It was most useful to attend the SPE Canada Unconventional Resources Conference in Calgary for the first time.  We understand that the number of attendees was significantly up on the previous conference, and so it is good to see that while not out […]
