Petroleum Geosciences Research
The PETROLEUM GEOSCIENCES Program conducts research primarily in the areas of carbonate reservoir geology, reflection seismology, rock physics, and local and regional geology. Research ranges from basic to applied, the later reflecting petroleum industry needs related to our strong links with the ADNOC Group and corporate partners. Following are active research projects being undertaken by faculty, several of which are linked to project descriptions:
