Erfan Sarvar Amini is a hydraulic fracturing and reservoir geomechanics expert at GLJ Ltd. Erfan received his Ph.D. in Geomechanical Engineering from Dalhousie University with on a focus on the hydraulic fracturing (HF) modeling and characterization of tight hydrocarbon reservoirs in Western Canada. Prior to joining GLJ, Erfan completed two years of postdoctoral studies at the University of Waterloo where he developed a novel simulation technology for characterizing the geomechanical behavior of hydraulically stimulated reservoirs with the ability to integrate it into reservoir simulation programs. The outcome of Erfan’s work is currently implemented in the form of a fully-coupled 3D geomechanics Simulated Reservoir Volume (SRV) simulator. Erfan has presented his contribution to professionals in the field of geomechanics and hydraulic fracturing at over thirty international conferences and has authored several journal articles in multiple internationally recognized professional publications.
