COURSE OVERVIEW
PetroTeach offers a five-day course on Advanced EOR Gas Injection designed for petroleum engineers seeking deeper technical understanding and practical insight into gas injection as an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method.
The course represents a transfer of tacit knowledge and more than 15 years of field experience, particularly in reservoirs where fluid composition plays a critical role in EOR performance. It equips participants with the skills required to design, evaluate, and manage gas injection projects effectively, enabling them to better oversee their responsibilities within EOR developments.
The program provides detailed coverage of gas injection EOR methods, supported by field examples and classroom exercises. By the end of the course, participants will have a solid understanding of gas injection techniques applied in both conventional and unconventional reservoirs. In addition, attendees benefit from continued instructor support for related technical questions and project discussions during and after the course.

INSTRUCTOR
Dr. Mohammad Ghasemi
Dr. Mohammad Ghasemi has approximately 15 years of experience across a wide range of petroleum reservoir engineering projects. His recent research at Kuwait University includes the development of flow pattern maps for two-phase flow in heavy oil systems and integrated modeling of asphaltene deposition in vertical wells. He has worked as a Senior Reservoir Engineer at Petrostreamz and as a Reservoir Engineer at NISOC and PERA, contributing to diverse reservoir engineering studies and field development projects. He has taught and assisted in several petroleum engineering courses, including gas injection EOR, advanced PVT, fluid development, and production engineering.
He earned his B.S. and M.S. degrees in Petroleum Engineering from the University of Petroleum Technology (PUT). He also holds a Master’s degree and a Ph.D. in Petroleum Reservoir Engineering from the University of Calgary and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), respectively.
