      Thrilled to kick off my PhD research at the University of Bristol's School of Earth Science!I'm diving deep into understanding diagenesis processes and reservoir characterization in the pre-salt carbonates of the Campos Basin, offshore Brazil. This research has interesting implications for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). Looking forward to connecting with fellow researchers and industry professionals interested in CCS and carbonate reservoirs! Feel free to share any insights… Tunjukkan lagi Thrilled to kick off my PhD research at the University of Bristol's School of Earth Science!I'm diving deep into understanding diagenesis processes and reservoir characterization in the pre-salt carbonates of the Campos Basin, offshore Brazil.
