معرفی
Wi Sup Bae is a Professor in the Department of Energy and Mineral Resources Engineering at Sejong University, South Korea, a position he has held since 2010. Previously, he served as Professor at Kwangju University (1997-2005) and in Sejong University's Department of Earth & Environmental Sciences (2005-2009), following government roles in South Korea's Ministry of Energy and Ministry of Commerce and Industry during the 1990s.
Education:
- Ph.D., The University of Texas at Austin (1992)
- M.S., The University of Texas at Austin (1987)
- B.S., Seoul National University (1983)
Professor Bae's research centers on Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), with deep expertise in Hydraulic Fracturing and Geothermal Engineering. His work addresses critical industry challenges including polymer conformance for water control, hybrid steam-solvent injection for heavy oil, CO2-based miscible flooding, and waterflooding in fractured basement reservoirs. His fingerprint analysis reveals dominant contributions to Oil Recovery Engineering (100%), Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (72%), Heavy Oil (68%), and Polymer Flooding (51%).
Recent publications (2022-2024) demonstrate a clear trajectory toward integrating advanced experimental methods (HPHT apparatus, slim-tube testing) with computational approaches (neural networks) to optimize recovery processes while reducing environmental impact. Key themes include CO2 emission reduction in EOR, geothermal system stimulation in Southeast Asia, and flow assurance solutions for asphaltene deposition.
International collaborations with Indonesian, Malaysian, and Korean institutions characterize his recent work. While specific grant details are unreported, his 107 research outputs and h-index of 16 indicate sustained research funding. No student advising information or laboratory facilities are documented in available sources.
