Mohamed Ahmed Heikal is a visiting student at Texas A&M University and a Ph.D. student in Petroleum Engineering at Suez University in Egypt specializing in geomechanics, hydraulic fracturing, reservoir stimulation and ML modeling. His research experience spans AI-based surrogate modeling of hydraulic fracturing in conventional and unconventional reservoirs. He is particularly experienced in diagnostic fracture analysis and has developed strong expertise in reservoir evaluation. His current research interest, evaluation of unconventional resource potential and production forecasting in Egyptian tight reservoirs and shale formations, is both timely and highly relevant. Accurate production forecasting in complex reservoir systems remains a critical challenge, especially given the scale of global investment in unconventional oil and gas resources. His research aims to develop a robust framework for identifying tight reservoirs, assessing stimulation effectiveness, and predicting production performance, thereby addressing a key industry and national priority.
