  1. Contact Information H. ILKIN BILGESU Associate Professor Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering College of Engineering West Virginia University 304-293-7682 Ext. 3403 ilkin.bilgesu@mail.wvu.edu Staff Contact: Beverly Matheny 304-293-7682 Ext 3400 Beverly.Matheny@mail.wvu.edu

  2. Experience / Expertise • PhD in Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (PSU) • Research projects on • Drilling hydraulics • Drilling optimization • Multiphase flow in wellbores and pipes • Reservoir characterization • Reservoir modeling • Rock-fluid interaction modeling • Modeling methane gas production form unconventional reservoirs (hydrates, shales) • Modeling rock cutting experiments (UDS) • Artificial Intelligence

  3. Related Facilities and Other AssetsPetroleum and Natural Gas Engineering Department • Drilling Fluids Laboratory • An API standard drilling fluid testing laboratory to determine properties such as fluid density, fluid viscosity and filtration properties. • Rock and Fluid Properties Laboratory • A core and fluid testing laboratory for rock and fluid interaction properties such as porosity, permeability, capillary pressure, etc. • Numerical Models • Several industry wide used commercial software to study flow and behavior of oil, water, gas and other components in pipes and porous media. (Eclipse, Pipesim, Petrel, FLAC3D, etc.) • Additional Sources • Access to NETL facilities (Morgantown and Pittsburgh). • Joint projects (Interdepartmental and regional universities)

  4. Future Research interests in the Energy-Related Areato be conducted at WVU and NETL facilities • Development of a model for rock cutting experiments • Numerical study of cutter behavior using FLAC3D. • Characterization of drilling fluids at extreme temperature and pressure (HTHP) conditions. • Experimental study of water and/or oil based drilling fluid preparation and testing. • Computational modeling (CFD) of fluid invasion to porous media with and without fractures • Conducting numerical study with a CFD model to investigate fluid invasion and cake building in wellbores during drilling. • Methane Gas Production from Unconventional Sources • Numerical study of hydrate reservoir behavior and hydrate thermodynamic modeling. • Modeling study of shale reservoirs for production potential and completion design ( e.g. Marcellus shale.)
