About

Dr. Sandeep Dhawan is a leading authority in petroleum engineering, with a sharp focus on well integrity, carbon storage infrastructure, and the lifecycle management of oil and gas assets. His most influential work, the 2024 Technology Focus on Well Integrity, has already garnered significant attention for addressing the critical challenge of repurposing existing oil and gas wells for carbon capture and storage (CCS)—a cornerstone of the energy transition. Dr. Dhawan’s contributions have reshaped industry understanding of flow-wet material conformity and the associated integrity risks that arise when aging wells are adapted for new, high-stakes applications. By bridging the gap between traditional well abandonment practices and modern carbon storage requirements, his research directly supports safer, more sustainable energy systems. With a citation record that underscores his growing impact, Dr. Dhawan is recognized as a pivotal voice in ensuring that legacy infrastructure can be safely repurposed for a low-carbon future. His work is essential reading for engineers and researchers navigating the complex intersection of fossil fuel legacy and renewable energy innovation.
