Enhanced-Oil Recovery (EOR)

Dr. Alvarado's research focuses on Enhanced-Oil Recovery (EOR) activities including screening methods for assisting decision-making on one hand. Other interests of Dr. Alvarado's research include a combination of data mining and analytical simulation to assist the creation of simplified decision spaces and monitoring techniques for EOR operations such as time-lapse seismic and tracer tests. Uncertainty propogation and upscaling are two pillars of feasibility analysis for monitoring techniques. [More]
