About
R. Al-Jabri is a petroleum engineer specializing in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) for heavy oil reservoirs, with a particular focus on surfactant-polymer (SP) chemical flooding. Their most cited work, an experimental study conducted for a heavy oil field in South of Oman, demonstrates a rigorous laboratory methodology for selecting and fine-tuning chemical formulations that balance high performance with operational reliability. This research addresses a critical challenge in the industry: designing surfactant systems that can effectively mobilize viscous crude while avoiding formation damage or injectivity issues. Though their citation count remains modest at 2 for this key paper, Al-Jabri’s contributions are notable for their practical, field-oriented approach—bridging the gap between laboratory screening and real-world reservoir application. Their work underscores the importance of systematic experimental design in EOR, offering valuable insights for engineers tackling heavy oil recovery in complex carbonate or sandstone formations. Al-Jabri’s research continues to inform chemical EOR strategies in the Middle East, where heavy oil resources are increasingly targeted for development.
