Jyun-Syung Tsau, Ph.D., serves as Associate Scientist Director for CO2 Flooding & Sequestration at the Tertiary Oil Recovery Program (TORP) within the Department of Chemical & Petroleum Engineering at the University of Kansas. Based in Slawson Hall, Room 270E (1420 Naismith Drive, Lawrence, KS 66045), he directs research on tertiary recovery methods for Kansas oil fields with contact details tsau@ku.edu and (785) 864-2913. TORP, established in 1974 by the State of Kansas, evaluates oil/gas recovery potential including waterflooding and expanded ventures in natural hydrogen, CCUS, enhanced geothermal systems, and critical minerals. Dr. Tsau's research centers on CO2-based enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and sequestration technologies, focusing on optimizing tertiary recovery processes for regional operators. His work integrates subsurface energy systems analysis with carbon management strategies, addressing post-COVID energy transition challenges through workshops on AI-driven waterflood optimization and CCS/CCUS applications. TORP's recent initiatives include the September 2024 "CCS/CCUS and IOR" workshop and field/lab services for unconventional reservoir characterization. Scientific Awards: No awards, fellowships, or medals are documented in the provided materials. Advising and Grants: The text specifies no student advising roles, doctoral committees, or grant funding details for Dr. Tsau, though TORP collaborates with industry partners on recovery technology implementation. Laboratories and Teams: Dr. Tsau leads TORP's CO2 flooding research unit, which operates specialized laboratory and field services for regional operators. The program maintains multidisciplinary teams focused on conventional/unconventional IOR processes and hosts annual workshops with partners like PTTC, featuring case studies on Kansas reservoirs and AI applications in subsurface engineering.
