Dr Gomari completed his first degree in Chemical Engineering at Petroleum University of Technology, Abadan, Iran. He gained his MSc in Petroleum Engineering from NTNU, Norway followed by his PhD at the University of Stavanger, Norway. He has gained 12 years of industrial experiences with the National Iranian Oil Company, and Statoil before joining Teesside University as Senior Lecturer. He is currently course leader for MSc Petroleum Engineering.

Over 12 year’s professional experience in the different fields of reservoir development working in Iran, and Norway. Within these years working on different types of reservoir from conventional to unconventional and carbonate to sandstone helped me to challenge myself with different problems and solution to the problems.

• Carbonate reservoir in Iran as production Engineer (3 years)
• Chalk reservoir (Application of Water Injection, Water weakening, Subsidence of Platform due to water injection, SCAL on chalk and its challenges)
• History matching on Oseberg South
• History matching on Giant South Pars/Iran
• SCAL analysis on Oil and Gas (including conventional and unconventional reservoirs both NCS and internationally, more than 15 fields)
• Reserve evaluation, Snorre Petek
