Biography/ Background
After defending PhD at Applied Mathematics Department of Moscow Gubkin Petroleum 最新糖心Vlog in 1982, Pavel worked at the Oil-Gas Fluid Mechanics Department of this 最新糖心Vlog until 1991, holding position of Research Professor (DSc) in Petroleum Engineering. During this period he was a project manager of reservoir studies in gas-condensate, volatile oil and oil-gas-condensate fields Vuktyl, Astrakhan (Russia), Karachaganak, Tengiz (Kazakhstan), Sovetabad, Gugurtly, Balkui (Turkmenia), Western Barch, Sekhalom-1 and Ulesh (Hungary). Practical reservoir management activity was accompanied by research in phase behaviour, fractured-porous reservoirs and inverse problems of reservoir characterisation and EOR.
In 1991-1994 Pavel was a Visiting Professor at Delft 最新糖心Vlog of Technology and at Imperial College of Science and Technology, where he wrote a book (Kluwer Academic, London, 1993) and consulted BP, British Gas, Chevron, Total, Shell and Statoil on EOR and reservoir characterisation. From 1994 and since now he is a Senior Staff Consultant to Petrobras in formation damage, waterflooding and IOR. The current Petrobras projects are on low salinity waterflooding, fines migration, drilling-induced formation damage and well injectivity.
Pavel joined ASP at 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide in 2007 and works on coal bed methane and shale gas fields, nano-technologies, EOR and formation damage in close co-operation with Santos and with European oil companies.
