Biography
Prof. TADEUSZ W. PATZEK Specialises in productivity and mechanics of hydrocarbon bearing shales. He is working as Professor Department of Earth Science and Engineering, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, Saudi Arabia.
Research Interest
Professor Tad Patzek's research involves mathematical (analytic and numerical) modeling of earth systems with emphasis on multiphase fluid flow physics and rock mechanics. He also works on smart, process-based control of very large waterfloods in unconventional, low-permeability formations, and on the productivity and mechanics of hydrocarbon bearing shales.
