Ksenia Kaprielova

Biography

I graduated from Novosibirsk State University, Chemistry department in 2007.

I continued working in the Boreskov Institute of Catalysis (SB RAS) on PhD theses under the supervision of professor A.S. Lisitsyn and have got my of PhD degree in 2013.

In 2012 I joined Schlumberger Novosibirsk Technology Center and was involved in many projects on new product development for hydraulic fracturing and lost circulation control applications.

In September 2020 I have joined EGG group of professor T. Patzek in KAUST as Postdoctoral Fellow and is being involved in a project on law-salinity waterflooding for EOR.

Research Interests

Studying mechanisms of crude oil recovery during waterflooding in mixed-wet carbonates.
