PhD Student

UT Austin

Tri graduated with a B.Sc. in Petroleum Engineering in 2018, and a M.Sc. in Petroleum Engineering in 2020 from Texas A & M University. In 2021, he began pursuing his PhD in Petroleum and Geosystem Engineering (PGE) at The University of Texas at Austin while receiving the Conocophillips Endowed Graduate Fellowship in Engineering. Tri is being co-advised by Dr. Quoc Nguyen and Dr. Tan Bui-Thanh. His research objective is the development of a hybrid model to characterize and predict fractured reservoirs dynamics. The hybrid model will be created by leveraging the combination of existing model and available data. Subsequently, the optimal integration of simulation model and monitoring data will compensate for the extensive computational demands in comprehensive numerical simulation. The hybrid model aims to maximize the value of hydraulic fracture architecture and surveillance information in oil and gas exploration, enhanced geothermal systems, and carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS). Tri is currently exploring utilizing microseismic events data in combination with fractal fracture network in the first hybrid model rendition.
