Research Interests

Enoc Basilio is interested in finding geo-solutions to today’s energy challenges. He has conducted research in different areas such as modeling multi-phase flow for gas condensate reservoirs, modeling phase behavior of microemulsions, laboratory-based study of foamy oil flow in extra heavy oil reservoirs, and nuclear magnetic resonance of organic perovskites.
