Nathan D Webb

Nathan D Webb is a Principal Research Scientist at the Illinois State Geological Survey (affiliated with the University of Illinois). His research focuses on geology, particularly sedimentology, reservoir characterization, and enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR) in the Illinois Basin. He has contributed extensively to studies on sandstone formations like the Cypress Sandstone and their potential for CO2 storage and oil recovery optimization.

Research Trends: Webb's work integrates petrophysical analysis, well log interpretation, and geological modeling to assess residual oil zones (ROZs) and improve oil recovery strategies while addressing carbon storage challenges. Recent projects emphasize co-optimization of EOR and CO2 storage in stacked greenfield/brownfield systems.
