Current Research and Scholarly Interests

Research
Dr. Durlofsky co-directs the Stanford Smart Fields Consortium and the Reservoir Simulation Research industrial affiliates programs. His research involves a range of topics related to modeling, history matching, and optimizing subsurface flow processes, particularly oil and gas production and geological carbon storage operations. These optimization problems may entail, for example, the determination of the optimal number, type and placement of wells, along with their operational settings. Dr. Durlofsky’s research group treats optimization and history-matching both separately and in combination (in the latter case it is a “closed-loop” problem). These applications typically require large numbers of flow simulations, and this can result in extreme computational demands. The group’s current work is addressing this issue through the development of very fast deep-learning-based and reduced-order “surrogate” models, which can be used to replace many of the full-order numerical simulations. Recent work along these lines includes the development of POD-TPWL reduced-order numerical models, and the E2C deep-learning-based surrogate model. Related work entails the development of geological-parameterization techniques suitable for use in history matching (most recently CNN-PCA. Additional areas of interest include data-space inversion for predicting flow behavior based only on prior-model simulations and observed data (posterior/history-matched models are not constructed), multifidelity methods for uncertainty quantification, and modeling and upscaling of flow in fractured reservoirs. Dr. Durlofsky is also active in the area of energy systems optimization, where the goal may be, for example, to determine the optimal design and operation of integrated fossil-renewable electricity generation facilities.

Teaching
I teach or co-teach graduate courses on advanced reservoir engineering, reservoir simulation, and advanced reservoir simulation. These classes focus on the analytical description and computational modeling of subsurface flow phenomena. I also co-teach an undergraduate class on energy and the environment.

Professional Activities
I co-direct the Stanford University Industrial Affiliates Programs on Smart Fields and Reservoir Simulation Research (SUPRI-B). Outside of Stanford, I serve on the Editorial Boards of two journals, Computational Geosciences and Mathematical Geosciences, and I am a permanent member of the European Conference on the Mathematics of Oil Recovery (ECMOR) Program Committee. I am also an active member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.
