Alireza Rangriz Shokri, PhD, PEng

Dr. Alireza Rangriz Shokri is a senior research associate at the University of Alberta. His research is in the area of geoscience and geomechanics of subsurface energy resources including fluid and energy storage, enhanced geothermal and integrated CCUS-geothermal systems. The recent interdisciplinary projects include THMC modeling of the Aquistore CO2 injection project, geomechanical analysis of cooled brine re-circulation in geothermal reservoirs, assessment of integrated geothermal energy production and CO2 sequestration, feasibility study of CO2 Plume Geothermal at Aquistore, assessment of CO2 sequestration hubs and potential leakage risks in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Dr. Shokri has authored over 40 publications, serves as the Young Professionals Chair for Society of Petroleum Engineering (Edmonton section), and is a registered professional engineer in Alberta. In addition to research at the University of Alberta, Dr. Shokri provides consulting services on subsurface data analysis, complex THMC simulations, and geoenergy resource design and development.
