Biography
Furqan Le-Hussain research CO2 geosequestration in aquifers and hydrocarbon reservoirs. His research enhances the feasibility of CO2 geosequestration in heterogeneous and low-pressure formations to maximize CO2 storage. His research group discovered water-saturated CO2 injection into oil reservoirs to improve oil recovery and CO2 storage.
