Chair in Petroleum Geosciences The Oil and Gas Research Center, Sultan Qaboos University, Sultanate of Oman

摘要

The Oil and Gas Research Center at Sultan Qaboos University is committed to remain at the leading edge of petroleum research in the GCC countries. The long-term prospects for the development of the hydrocarbon resources in Oman depend upon research and technology development activities. In particular, research in the area of reservoir characterization and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) plays an important role in increasing recoverable reserves and extending field production life. As a continuation of the successful collaboration with the University developed through the Joint Virtual Reality Center for Carbonate Studies and the Oi Shelll and Gas Research Centre, Shell Development Oman has agreed to continue funding a Chair in Petroleum Geosciences at the University to support the significant expansion of activities in the Oil and Gas Center. We are seeking a professorial appointment to play a leading role in developing an internationally recognized research program in Petroleum GeoseienGes. The Chair is expected to establish international research collaboration with both University partners of choice as well as industry partners. It is envisaged that the Chair will build and lead a team of MSc students as well as post doctoral researchers and PhD students in the execution of the agreed program.
