Research Interests Rock Formation Failure and Fluid Flow Analysis

Geostatistics Enhanced Oil Recovery

Main research and innovation contributions

The conducted research work on wellbore stability analysis advanced the state-of-the-art and introduced new engineering fundamentals replacing what was used since 1776. This is presented in the introduction of a new rock failure law called Mogi-Coulomb law that replacing the classical Coulomb and Mohr laws. This new law has been used to develop novel wellbore stability models during drilling and production of oil and gas wells that improved the stability prediction, simplify the three dimensional wellbore stability analysis and advanced the state-of-art in this area. The work has been published in PhD and Master Theses, and several journal papers from 2005 to 2017. In addition, the developed work is currently applied in several international oil companies.

Innovated a new neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) system advancing the state-of-art applied in subliminal programming since 19th century. The intellectual property of the innovation is registered and the work is available commercially in the following website: www.Doctor-Ajmi.com.
