Research themes

Research activity within IPE has traditionally spanned across the complete spectrum from exploration, through reservoir appraisal and development, to production technology. In addition our research remit includes focus beyond petroleum into the whole energy sector and related environmental issues.

We have distinct research themes, each represented by an interactive grouping of academic/research staff and postgraduate research students. Because of the truly inter-disciplinary nature of much of our research, several of these themes span the rather artificial boundaries between exploration, development and production, while individual staff may also work across different themes. At the same time, several themes contribute to larger regional or national frameworks.

• Applied Geoscience
• Flow Assurance And Scale Team (FAST)
• GeoChemFoam Project
• GeoEnergy Group
• GeoDataScience Group
• Hydrates And PVT
• Multi-scale Multi-physics Modelling of Flow Phenomena (MuPhi)
• Production Engineering and Technology
• Reservoir Geophysics
• Uncertainty Quantification
