Within the department’s cultural season, the Studies and Planning Division held a scientific lecture entitled: A new technique for analyzing the decline curve of fractured reservoirs based on the derivative of the natural flow rate, on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, in the Okaz Hall, in the presence of a number of teaching staff and associates.The preparatory committee was headed by the head of the branch, Prof. Imad Abdel Hussein Fakher, and the lecture was given by the head of the department, Prof. Dr. Fadel Sarhan Kazem, in which he spoke about a new technique for analyzing the decline curve of fractured reservoirs by presenting a method that provides high accuracy for predicting the performance of oil and gas wells. The unconventional reservoirs that contain multiple fractures show some effects on the accuracy of the production history by creating a mathematical model that calculates different parameters.

Members of the Department Council and officials of the Studies, Planning and Laboratories Divisions, headed by Prof. Dr. Fadel Sarhan Kazem, Head of the Department, held an electronic meeting via Google meet with the Head of the Department of Petroleum Geology at the Iranian Al-Khwarizmi University, Dr. Ali Mazaji, on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, in the Council Hall.
