M.Sc., PhD
Canada Research Chair in Reservoir Engineering and Reservoir
Characterization
I'm a mathematician with a M.Sc. in Functional Analysis
(1974) and a PhD in applied mathematics (1992), both from the
University of Oslo, Norway. I have been working in various
positions related to research in reservoir engineering since 1980,
but most important to my understanding of the oil and gas industry
was my time as a chief engineer with Norsk Hydro ASA. As a result,
I have devoted most of my time over the last few years to
developing methodology and software for the oil and gas industry
within the interdisciplinary areas, thereby bridging the gap
between reservoir engineering and drilling/completion of advanced
wells. Since I joined MUN as a Tier I Canada Research Chair in
2002, I have built a research team of M.Sc. and PhD students. Our
objective is to develop methodologies that can be applied to
increase hydrocarbon recovery and accelerate production minimizing
costs and time from discovery to production. Our research is
performed in close collaboration with the oil and gas industry.
