Dr. Jebraeel Gholinezhad is currently a lecturer at the School of Engineering at University of Portsmouth, UK. As well as conducting research on a number of areas, including shale gas reservoirs, reservoir fluid analysis and well deliverability, he teaches petroleum engineering courses such as well engineering, reservoir fluid properties, numerical and computational methods, etc. to undergraduate and postgraduate students. He holds an MSc degree in reservoir engineering from the IFP School in Paris and a PhD in petroleum engineering from Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, UK. Dr Gholinezhad worked as a research scientist on different projects related to reservoir fluid studies, well performance, artificial lift and flow assurance at TOTAL and the Research Institute of Petroleum Industry (RIPI) for 6 years. He has been involved in conducting full reservoir fluid studies consisting of both experimental and modelling work, and investigating flow assurance problems such as inorganic scale, wax, asphaltene and gas hydrates. He also has hands-on experience in core-flooding experiments for enhanced oil recovery projects. Dr Gholinezhad has presented several training courses and workshops to industry professionals on reservoir fluid thermodynamics, oil and gas well performance, artificial lift techniques and flow assurance challenges.
