Imad A. Adel

Senior Petroleum Research Engineer · Digital Product Consultant

Enhanced oil recovery research forms the foundation of Imad A. Adel’s work as a scientist and engineer, spanning gas and chemical recovery in unconventional reservoirs and carbonate formations. His experience covers research proposals, experimental design, laboratory investigations, numerical modelling, economic screening and publication.

He has led research and development projects in gas and chemical enhanced oil recovery. His publication record includes 14 papers in journals and conference proceedings.

Research means checking evidence, assumptions and detail. The same discipline goes into every website, tool and private workspace. Imad remains directly involved from the initial brief through development, review and handover. The question stays practical: what does someone need to do, and does the finished product help them do it?

Research and publications.

The research collection links programme hubs, interactive reports and engineering calculations. Each identifies its institutional context and the evidence behind the result.

Design and development practice.

A website should help a visitor find the next step. A tool should produce an inspectable result. A workspace should fit the people, documents and operating conditions it serves.

Nothing is built on stone; all is built on sand. But we must build as if the sand were stone.

Jorge Luis Borges, Fragments of an Apocryphal Gospel, 1969
