• Currently, I am working on some projects regarding the environmental issues in Kurdistan
• I am interested in the usage of sequence stratigraphic, well-logging and petrophysical approaches for hydrocarbon reservoir characterization and formation evaluation.
• Diagenesis, particularly of carbonates, and distinguishing primary from secondary (alteration) features.
• Effect of rock texture (facies and diagenetic alteration) in carbonate reservoir quality.
• Application of clastic and carbonate sedimentology in the exploration for, and the exploitation of, hydrocarbon reservoirs.
• Deep marine sedimentation and petroleum geology of deep water systems.
