Summer 2025, Dr. Son Dang was a visiting scholar at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), with the research focus on petrophysical characterization, reservoir scale modelling for large scale underground hydrogen storage (UHS)
Summer 2025, Dr. Son Dang was collaborating with Sandia National Laboratory, to develop internal proposal for sustainable solutions for Enhanced Geothermal Systems (DOE LAB call)
Fall 2025, Dr. Son Dang is a visiting scholar at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), to develop DOE concept papers and proposals, focusing on sensing technologies for rare earth elements (REEs) and critical minerals (CMs) evaluation from ore bodies (ROCKS NOFO).
Fall 2025, PNNL and IC3 form partnership on studying critical minerals (CM) extraction comingled with enhanced oil recovery (EOR) from depleted oil & gas reservoirs.
Fall 2025, Dr. Chandra Rai, Dr. Son Dang and Ms student. Nghiem Vuong file provisional patent for rapid method to detect and quantify Lithium concentration from Produced Water in oil & gas activities.
From Measurement to Theory: Adventures in Rock Physics, Petrophysics, and Engineering
March 27 through March 29, 2024
Norman, Oklahoma, USA
This workshop will celebrate the life and technical accomplishments of Dr. Carl Sondergeld. Dr. Sondergeld left an unparalleled 40+ year legacy of technical achievements in the sciences of geophysics, rock physics, petrophysics, and petroleum engineering.
Congratulations to Son Dang, Ph.D. and research scientist, Mewbourne School of Petroleum and Geological Engineering, for this distinction.
Each year, one highly ranked paper is selected from each technical program theme as a recognized outstanding contribution to the program.
Theme 2: Advanced Formation Evaluation
Understanding NMR Responses of Different Rock-Fluid Components Within Organic-Rich Argillaceous Rocks: Comparison Study Across 2, 12, and 23 MHz Spectroscopy
Co-authors: Elizabeth Krukowski, Michael Dick, Dragan Veselenovic, Rafael Mendoza, Rayvan Watson, Chandra Rai, Carl Sondergeld
