Research Interests
Dr. Zhu has conducted and supervised research projects in production and well stimulation and led in complex well performance. She has been a key researcher for a Texas State-funded project in sandstone acidizing and a DOE-funded project in intelligent well technology. She has developed several comprehensive computer software applications for production engineering, many of which have been adopted by industry sponsors. She developed the production engineering software package, PPS, which has been widely used in teaching and in the field worldwide.
Her areas of interest include
- Integrated sandstone acidizing design and evaluation
- Real-time evaluation of acidizing process
- Modeling of acidizing process in naturally fractured carbonate reservoirs
- Acid fracturing
- High-concentration HF acidizing in sandstone reservoirs
- Integrated production-log interpretation by statistical approach
- Horizontal-well stimulation
- Well performance of multilateral wells
- Horizontal-well completion model
- Economic model of intelligent wells
- Intelligent-well model
