About

Max Chabert is a leading expert in enhanced oil recovery (EOR), with a specific focus on foam-based processes for complex reservoir environments. His research centers on the design and optimization of foam EOR techniques, particularly for naturally fractured and challenging carbonate reservoirs. Chabert’s major contributions include pioneering a combined foam EOR process for a naturally fractured carbonate reservoir in Oman, as detailed in his most-cited 2018 paper (19 citations), which presents a novel laboratory approach to overcome the inherent challenges of EOR in fractured systems. He also developed an integrated laboratory workflow for the design of a foam pilot in Malaysia, published in 2013 (12 citations), establishing a systematic methodology for evaluating enhanced water alternating gas (EWAG) processes. This work has been instrumental in bridging the gap between laboratory studies and field-scale applications. With a combined citation count of over 30 for these key papers, Chabert’s research is highly regarded for its practical impact on oil recovery efficiency. His notable achievements include advancing the understanding of foam stability and transport in fractured media, making him a respected figure in the petroleum engineering community.
