معرفی
Dr. Hazim H. Abass is a Professor of Practice in Petroleum Engineering at the University of Wyoming. He holds a BS from the University of Baghdad (1976), an MS from the Colorado School of Mines (1984), and a PhD from the Colorado School of Mines (1988). His research focuses on applied geomechanics, hydraulic fracturing, and reservoir engineering in unconventional resources (oil/gas, geothermal, CCUS). He has held roles at Saudi Aramco, Halliburton, and academic institutions like the Colorado School of Mines. His awards include the AIME Honorary Membership (2015), SPE Distinguished Lecturer (2011-2012), and multiple SPE technical awards.
Key research areas include rock mechanics laboratory experiments, fracture cleanup with redox treatments, and laser-guided fracturing. He has over 100 publications and 11 US patents. His work bridges academia and industry, emphasizing practical solutions for reservoir challenges. Collaborations include Saudi Aramco, PDVSA (Venezuela), and the China University of Petroleum.
Dr. Abass has advised students at multiple institutions and contributed to industry standards via SPE committees. His labs focus on integrating geomechanical models with reservoir simulation to predict stress-strain behavior in tight formations. Current projects involve thermal lattice stimulation for geothermal systems and synthetic sweet spots via nano-reactants.
