About

Eric Delamaide is a leading expert in enhanced oil recovery (EOR), with a particular focus on chemical EOR methods such as surfactant-polymer (SP) and polymer flooding for heavy oil reservoirs. His work bridges the critical gap between laboratory experimentation and field application, addressing the unique challenges of mobilizing viscous crude in complex geological settings. A standout contribution is his detailed experimental study on surfactant-polymer formulations for a heavy oil field in southern Oman, where he demonstrated a rigorous methodology for selecting high-performance chemicals that ensure both efficacy and operational reliability. This research, which has garnered attention for its practical insights, exemplifies his commitment to solving real-world reservoir problems. Delamaide’s impact is reflected in his citation record, with his most-cited papers serving as key references for engineers and researchers tackling heavy oil EOR. His work is notable for its systematic approach to chemical optimization, helping to advance the feasibility of EOR in challenging environments. Through his publications, Delamaide has become a trusted voice in the field, guiding both academic inquiry and industrial practice toward more efficient oil recovery.
