    VARGAS GROUP
    Petroleum Thermodynamics and Flow Assurance

    The Vargas group is focused on developing innovative


    experimental approaches and simulation tools. These advances
    will help scientists understand and predict the structure,
    phase behavior, thermodynamic and transport properties
    of complex fluids, at high temperatures and pressures.
    An important component of their current research program
    is finding solutions to major flow assurance problems in the
    oil industry, such as asphaltene deposition. Furthermore,
    they develop integrated approaches for an efficient and
    sustainable enhancement of the production of conventional and
    unconventional energy resources.
