INSTRUCTOR

Dr. Shahram Pourmohamamadi holds a Ph.D. in Reservoir Technology from the University of Bergen (UiB), Norway, and a Master’s degree in Petroleum Engineering from the Norwegian University of Science & Technology (NTNU). With over 19 years of experience as both a reservoir and production engineer, he has gained extensive industry knowledge through roles at prestigious companies, including Weatherford, Aker Solutions ASA, Equinor ASA (formerly Statoil), Spirit Energy (now Sval Energy), and OMV. Additionally, he has a strong research background from SINTEF and NORCE, and has authored 10 technical papers in areas such as reservoir characterization, SCAL (Special Core Analysis), EOR (Enhanced Oil Recovery), and field development. Throughout his career, he has mentored junior staff and educated mid-level petroleum engineers, sharing his extensive knowledge and practical experience. He has also served as an advisor and consultant for both onshore and offshore E&P projects, providing expertise to leading exploration and production companies.
