Dr. Amro Othman

Post-Doc Researcher, CIPR

Amro Othman has a Ph.D. in the Petroleum Engineering Department at King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals (KFUPM). Since he joined KFUPM in 2019 he worked in different research area which includes hydraulic fracturing treatments and water shut-off remediation. He has expertise in formulating fresh and saline water fracturing fluids as well as their performance with proppants.

He has experience with emulsions and their applications in water shut-off. He also uses artificial intelligence and its applications in petroleum engineering.
