Dr. Abdolreza Farhadian | Flow Assurance | Excellence in Research Award
Kazan Federal University | Russia
Dr. Abdolreza Farhadian is a leading researcher in the oil and gas field, specializing in the development of environmentally friendly and advanced classes of kinetic hydrate inhibitors, anti-agglomerants, and corrosion inhibitors. His work focuses on hybrid inhibition strategies to simultaneously manage hydrate formation and corrosion challenges while overcoming compatibility issues between conventional inhibitors. He is also actively engaged in designing innovative kinetic hydrate promoters to enhance natural gas storage and transportation, along with carbon dioxide sequestration via clathrate hydrates. His research further extends to the development of oil-soluble catalysts and surfactants for heavy oil aquathermolysis, contributing to improved recovery efficiency. Dr. Farhadian has held progressive research leadership roles at Kazan Federal University and currently leads a joint research laboratory in collaboration with Dalian University of Technology. He has been a key contributor to multiple major industrial and government-supported projects and has received international recognitions including Top 2% Scientist rankings and multiple advisory and editorial board appointments. His broader research interests encompass gas storage, flow assurance, CO₂ capture, hydrogen storage, corrosion inhibition, biomaterials synthesis, water desalination, and enhanced oil recovery.
