Biography

Mohammed Abu Alreesh is a PhD student who joined the Jackson School of Geosciences in Fall 2024 at the Bureau of Economy Geology (BEG) under the supervision of Prof. Peter Eichhubl. He has over 12 years of oil and gas industry experience working for Aramco Oil Company under the Exploration organization. He had a career change to the research environment by joining Aramco Advanced Upstream Research Center (EXPEC ARC) in 2020 and has got his research interest into inorganic geochemical analysis, where his MSc thesis was mainly focused on analyzing trace metals in organic oil samples. Also, he has contributed to several inorganic projects, including the use of Benzene, Toluene, Ethy-benzene, and Xylenes (BTEX) as an oil migration modeling parameter and hydrocarbon pool indicator in frontier areas, which materialized into a patent publication by him and his co-inventor. He has experience with previous analytical instruments, including ICP-OES, TQ ICP-MS, and GC-MS/FID, where he ran his samples to obtain results, which empowered him to reach conclusions on geofluids data analysis.
