Reza Fassihi
Dr. Reza Fassihi is the Founder and Principal of Beyond Carbon, where he advances low-energy, sustainable reservoir management strategies aligned with the global energy transition. With over 40 years of experience spanning BP, Amoco, Arco, and now BHP Petroleum as Distinguished Advisor, Dr. Fassihi has led innovation in enhanced oil recovery (EOR), unconventional oil, and subsurface assurance across global assets. His technical leadership is reflected in 40+ publications and numerous awards, including the SPE IOR Pioneer and Distinguished Member honors. Dr. Fassihi maintains strong academic ties, notably with the University of Calgary, where he has contributed to collaborative research in thermal recovery and served as a technical peer in honoring the legacy of Dr. R.G. Moore. He co-authored the SPE Monograph Low Energy Processes for Unconventional-Oil Recovery with Stanford’s Prof. Kovscek, reinforcing his commitment to scalable, low-carbon solutions. He holds a PhD in Petroleum Engineering from Stanford University.
