Dimitrios Voulanas

PhD Candidate Texas A&M University

Dimitrios Voulanas is a petroleum engineering PhD candidate at Texas A&M University developing physics-guided, data-driven methods for forecasting, optimization, and decision-making in CO₂ storage, geothermal energy, enhanced oil recovery, and subsurface gas storage. In 2026, he was selected as a Texas A&M Chevron Energy Graduate Fellow, TEX-E Fellow, and OpenMinds NextGen participant. He previously served for 1 year as vice president of the SPE New Mexico Tech Student Chapter and, since May 2025, has supported the SPE Texas A&M Student Chapter through volunteer and technical activities. He holds master’s degrees in petroleum engineering and environmental hydrogeology.

    Proxy Models Turn Reservoir Forecasts Into Operating Decisions
    Proxy models are transforming reservoir management by enabling engineers to rapidly evaluate and optimize thousands of operating scenarios, helping improve CO2-EOR, carbon storage, geothermal, and underground gas storage decisions while keeping high-fidelity reservoir simulation at the core of validation.
