Description
Description
Unconventional Carbon Dioxide Management, Utilization, and Modelling presents the most recent methodologies in the administration and exploitation of CO2 with a specific emphasis on unexplored possibilities in shale reservoirs. This valuable reference fills a knowledge gap between CO2 management and shale reservoirs’ recovery technology utilization by offering a comprehensive database and insights. Dr. Belhaj presents a detailed examination of the interactions, difficulties, and possibilities associated with sequestration of CO2 in shale reservoirs, including the latest research and technological breakthroughs to provide a comprehensive analysis of crucial geological, geochemical, and geophysical factors for maximizing the effectiveness of CO2 storage and usage.

Hadi A. Belhaj
Dr. Hadi A. Belhaj is a petroleum engineering faculty member at Khalifa University (KU) teaching a variety of graduate and undergraduate courses ranging from reservoir engineering to unconventional reservoir characterization and modeling to drilling engineering to petroleum economics and risk analysis to hydrogen resourcing, storage, and recovery to CCS. Dr. Belhaj has over 40 years of combined industrial and academic experience with key qualifications and research achievements in reservoir engineering, reservoir simulation, modeling fractured reservoirs, EOR, reservoir stimulation, sand production, unconventional reservoirs, and decarbonized fossil fuels. Geographically, his experience spreads over North America, Europe, North Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Prior to KU/PI merging, Dr. Belhaj was engaged with the Petroleum Institute, Texas Tech University, and Dalhousie University, respectively. From 1982 until 2000, Dr. Belhaj worked with Schlumberger and the Libyan National Oil Corporation (LNOC), respectively.
Dr. Belhaj is a Distinguished Member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE). For his unwavering 40-year-long-continued outstanding services with passion, commitment, and dedication to the SPE and its members at all levels, the SPE honoured Dr. Belhaj with the 2021 SPE Distinguished Service Award. He is also is the recipient of 2013/2020 SPE Regional Distinguished Achievement for Petroleum Engineering Faculty Award and the 2019 SPE Regional Reservoir Description and Dynamics Award. Dr. Belhaj is currently a member of the JPT Editorial Committee and SPE-ATCE Technical Program Subcommittee and has served on numerous other SPE and none SPE educational, research, and judging-related committees as well as conference, workshop, forum programming, and organizing committees.
Dr. Belhaj has contributed several consortium research proposals dealing with petroleum and energy exploitation challenges generating more than 17 million dollars of research grants. He has published more than 150-refereed journal and conference articles. Dr. Belhaj is a member of other professional societies and organizations around the globe; the Society of Special Core Analysts (SCA), the International Society for Porous Media, and the OMAE-ASME are among them. Dr. Belhaj currently serves as the Associate Editor for the Springer Journal of Petroleum Exploration and Production Technology Journal and the Taylor & Francis Petroleum Science and Technology Journal. Dr. Belhaj earned a PhD from Dalhousie University, Canada, an MSc from the Technical University of Nova Scotia, Canada, and a BSc. from the University of Tripoli, Libya.
