Research areas include: 

  • Reservoir simulation modelling
  • Smart well technology
  • Drilling technologies
  • Enhanced oil recovery (EOR)
  • Internal and external fluid flow modelling of production facilities
  • Gas processing and transportation (GTL)

Alumni Profile

Samuel Kofi Agbetsiafa

MSc Gas Engineering and Management

"I chose to study in the UK to gain a good quality education and learn from the experiences of students from different countries. Salford is the only university which offers my course and I was attracted by the profile of the lecturers. In addition I was impressed with the teaching and learning facilities and the fact that the School is home to a large number of foreign students. I'll always have fond memories about the University. For me, I would say the best things about studying at the University of Salford are the excellent tuition by experienced lecturers, the well-stocked library with the latest collection of books and journals and ICT facilit ies, and the free internet access at both School and student accommodation."
