KU Project to Responsibly Maximize Recovery from Unconventional Oil and Gas Reservoirs Nominated for 'Breakthrough Research of the Year'
A team led by a University of Kansas researcher is a finalist for one of the global energy industry’s most prestigious awards.
Masoud Kalantari, associate professor of chemical & petroleum engineering at KU, is leading the group — which includes UCLA, MicroSilicon Inc. and EOG Resources Inc. — that is developing a system to make hydraulic fracturing more efficient for energy producers.
The project is one of three finalists for the 2022 “Breakthrough Research of the Year” awards at the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition & Conference (ADIPEC), which is set for next month and sponsored by the Society for Petroleum Engineers.
The recognition is “truly an honor,” Kalantari said.
