Research Overview
Professor Vahrenkamp‘s research aims at securing future energy supply with three main thrusts:
Refine the understanding of modern and ancient carbonate depositional environments and associated diagenesis for improved perception of reservoir heterogeneities on multiple scales,
Advance the quantification of the complex pore networks of Arabian carbonate reservoirs and its impact on reservoir performance,
Explore and develop geothermal energy in Arabian countries with special focus on desalination and cooling applications and suitable drilling techniques.
