Dr Dayanand Saini is an Associate Professor of Petroleum Engineering at the California State University, Bakersfield (CSUB), California, USA, where, apart from teaching various core engineering and petroleum engineering electives, he is one of the principal investigators for five year-long National Science Foundation (NSF) research project focused on investigating the feasibility of CO 2 enhanced oil recovery (EOR) process in depleted Californian oil and gas fields and using CO 2 injection as drive mechanism to produce formation water for beneficial reuses. He is also a recipient of a planning grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to a consortium including CSUB, Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) for their project entitled "California CO 2 Storage Assurance Facility Enterprise (C2SAFE)". Dr Saini has published more than a dozen technical articles in his areasof expertise. He is also the author of the newly published book entitled "Geologic CO 2 Storage: Synergy Between EOR and Storage". He has presented numerous presentations at national and international technical conferences, served as a grant reviewer for American Chemical Society (ACS), and reviewed book proposals for major publishers. He serves on the editorial board of several technical journals and reviews articles for more than half a dozen premium scientific journals. See less
