Research Grant

Researchers Bedrikovetski Prof Pavel; Prof Anthony J Roberts; Dr Andrei G Kotooussov; A/Prof Phillip Pendleton; Mr Keith S Boyle; Mr Jose T Rodrigues

Brief description The project will significantly improve the commercial and technological competitiveness of the Australian oil industry and will result into immediate financial benefits for the largest Australian oil company SANTOS. The outcomes will find their application in a number of developing environmental and chemical engineering technologies, which fall into Australian Research Priorities such as clean water production, emission reduction and storage of green house gas, and industrial waste management. The new theory and models to be developed in this project will provide quantitative tools for comprehensive assessment of large-scale geological and industrial projects. The project will also train a high quality research and engineering personnel.
