    • Capillary pressure correction of cuttings 

      Alessa, S.; Sakhaee-Pour, A.; Sadooni, F.N.; Al-Kuwari, H.A. ( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)
      The accurate characterization of capillary pressure is essential in determining multiphase flow behavior in subsurface conditions. It is also essential in quantifying reservoir rock quality, reservoir fluid saturations, ...

    • Characterizing fracture toughness using machine learning 

      Alipour, M.; Esatyana, E.; Sakhaee-Pour, A.; Sadooni, F. N.; Al-Kuwari, H. A. ( Elsevier B.V. , 2021 , Article)
      The existing models for fracture toughness characterization based on nanoindentations that account for the fracture length are limited to simple (ideal) geometries that are absent in shales. The present study proposes two ...

    • Comprehensive pore size characterization of Midra shale 

      Alessa, S.; Sakhaee-Pour, A.; Sadooni, F. N.; Al-Kuwari, H. A. ( Elsevier B.V. , 2021 , Article)
      Although the Middle East's carbonate reservoirs were the first and most studied rocks in the world, Middle Eastern shale reservoirs are still poorly understood compared with other unconventional formations in the US. We ...

    • Empirical Relation for Capillary Pressure in Shale 

      Alipour, Mehdi K.; Kasha, Ahmed; Sakhaee-Pour, A.; Sadooni, Fadhil N.; Al-Kuwari, Hamad Al Saad ( Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) , 2022 , Article)
      Brooks and Corey (1964) and van Genuchten (1980) proposed the two most widely used relations for approximating capillary pressure. Petroleum engineers apply both, but they were originally proposed to understand the moisture ...

    • Microporosity evolution and destruction in the Jurassic Arab D reservoir, Qatar 

      Sadooni, F.N.; Al-Kuwari, H. Al Saad; Sakhaee-Pour, A.; Mattar, W. S. ( Institute for Ionics , 2023 , Article)
      Core samples were collected from three wells, one onshore and two offshore, from Qatar’s Upper Jurassic Arab D reservoir. The samples were subjected to multiproxy petrographic and chemical analyses to identify their micro- ...
