Dr. AbdAllah AbdRabElNaby Youssef ElSaieed
Post-Doc Researcher, CIPR
Currently, I’m part of the petrophysics group in CIPR. Before joining CIPR, I obtained my PhD from The University of Melbourne, Australia. My work was part of GeoCQuest project, involving a close collaboration between the three leading universities: Stanford, Cambridge and Melbourne. My research targeted generating upscaled rate-dependent anisotropic saturation functions for meso-scale heterogeneity through analyzing multi-phase flow in fluvio-deltaic Parraatte formation at the CO2CRC’s Otway International Test Centre, Australia. In 2018, I obtained my master degree in Petroleum Engineering from King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals.
