Dr. Shabeeb N. Alajmi

Assistant Professor, Department of Petroleum Engineering

Dr. Alajmi is an Assistant Professor in the Petroleum Engineering Department at the College of Petroleum and Geosciences. Before joining KFUPM, he worked for 3 years as a reservoir engineer in HPHT offshore gas reservoirs. His research interests focus on proppant transport for hydraulic fracturing applications, acid stimulation, geomechanics, and CO2 sequestration, in which he has authored and co-authored several journal articles and conference proceedings.
