About
Rifaat Al-Mjeni is a distinguished petroleum engineer whose research centers on enhanced oil recovery (EOR), with a particular focus on surfactant-polymer flooding for heavy oil reservoirs. His work addresses one of the industry’s most pressing challenges: developing chemical formulations that combine high performance with operational reliability in complex subsurface environments. Al-Mjeni’s most cited study, “Experimental Study of Surfactant Polymer for a Heavy Oil Field in South of Oman,” exemplifies his hands-on, laboratory-driven approach. This paper presents a rigorous methodology for selecting and fine-tuning chemical agents, demonstrating how systematic experimental work can unlock production from challenging heavy oil fields. While his citation count reflects the specialized, applied nature of his research, Al-Mjeni’s contributions are deeply valued in the EOR community for their practical, field-ready insights. His work has helped bridge the gap between laboratory design and real-world application, making him a key figure in advancing chemical EOR techniques for Oman’s heavy oil resources. Al-Mjeni’s research continues to guide engineers and scientists seeking to optimize surfactant-polymer systems for maximum recovery with minimal operational risk.
