My research is especially interested in unconventional source rock sequences. The aim is to understand and analyze the lateral and vertical heterogeneities in unconventional carbonates rocks from the Late Cretaceous in Jordan. The investigations are based on outcrop analogs and well data to provide an assessment of possible variations in the production behavior of unconventional reservoirs in rocks of similar origin.
