Introduction

The transition toward lower-carbon energy systems has increased research interest in geological storage, reservoir management, and technologies capable of integrating conventional subsurface engineering with emerging energy applications. Duartey’s research falls within this broader field, combining petroleum engineering principles with investigations of hydrogen storage and carbon dioxide storage. His academic profile also includes research into unconventional reservoir behavior and fluid-flow-related challenges. [1][4]

The available scholarly record indicates an emphasis on quantitative modeling and engineering analysis. This orientation is relevant to contemporary energy research because geological formations used for petroleum production, carbon storage, and hydrogen storage require characterization of fluid behavior, reservoir properties, pressure response, and long-term storage performance.

Research Profile

Duartey’s publicly documented research expertise includes petroleum engineering, energy, drilling fluids, hydrogen energy, and modeling and simulation. [1] His research trajectory reflects a movement from conventional and unconventional reservoir engineering toward applications associated with energy transition and subsurface storage.

His institutional research activities are associated with the Petroleum Recovery Research Center at New Mexico Tech. A 2025 publication on long-term CO2 storage lists Duartey with the Petroleum Engineering Department and the Petroleum Recovery Research Center at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. [3]

Research Contributions

Underground hydrogen storage. One of Duartey’s prominent recent research areas is underground hydrogen storage. His 2025 study in Energies examined UHS as a large-scale energy-storage pathway and discussed storage in geological environments including aquifers, salt caverns, and depleted reservoirs. [2]

Carbon storage. Duartey is also a co-author of research assessing long-term CO2 storage using core- to field-scale models. The study, published in Energies in 2025, addresses geological carbon storage through an integrated modeling perspective. [3]

Unconventional reservoirs. Earlier research includes a multi-fractured well performance model for unconventional reservoirs, published in Heliyon in 2022. The study demonstrates the application of reservoir modeling to performance analysis in unconventional formations. [4]

Research Impact

The available publication record demonstrates research activity across conventional reservoir engineering and emerging subsurface energy applications. In particular, the focus on underground hydrogen storage is relevant to the development of technologies intended to address the intermittency and seasonal characteristics of renewable energy systems. [2]

The research on geological CO2 storage complements this direction by addressing long-term subsurface containment and modeling at multiple scales. [3] Taken together, these studies position Duartey’s work within a research area connecting reservoir engineering, geological storage, energy transition, and computational modeling.

Public research-profile information reports 12 publications and 70 citations on ResearchGate at the time of its indexed record; such platform metrics can change over time and should therefore be interpreted as time-specific indicators rather than fixed measures of research impact. [1]

Award Suitability

For a Research Excellence Award within the Energy field, Duartey’s profile presents several relevant characteristics. His research addresses technically significant problems in petroleum and reservoir engineering while extending these methods toward emerging applications in underground hydrogen storage and geological carbon storage. [2][3]

A principal strength is the thematic continuity between reservoir engineering and energy-transition research. His publications demonstrate engagement with computational and engineering approaches to subsurface systems, including unconventional reservoir performance and geological storage. [4] This combination provides a substantive basis for consideration under an award category emphasizing research quality, technical relevance, innovation, and contribution to the energy research community.

A formal award assessment should nevertheless consider verified bibliometric records, the complete publication portfolio, independent citation data, peer-review contributions, research leadership, funded projects, patents where applicable, and documented societal or industrial outcomes. The present profile is therefore best understood as a scholarly recognition summary based on publicly accessible information rather than as an independent adjudication of award eligibility.

Conclusion

Kwamena Opoku Duartey is an energy and petroleum engineering researcher whose documented work encompasses reservoir engineering, unconventional reservoirs, underground hydrogen storage, and geological CO2 storage. His recent research reflects the growing convergence between subsurface engineering and energy-transition technologies. [2][3] On the basis of the publicly available scholarly record, his research profile is relevant to academic recognition in Energy and related areas of subsurface engineering, subject to independent verification of complete research and impact records.

The Scopus author identifier is 15070201200, while the supplied ORCID identifier is 0000-0002-3573-3365. [1] [2] The combination of persistent researcher identifiers can assist in distinguishing scholarly records and associating publications with the appropriate author.

Bibliometric indicators such as document counts, citation counts, and h-index values are useful for describing aspects of scholarly visibility. Their interpretation should nevertheless account for differences in disciplinary citation practices, publication age, collaboration patterns, journal characteristics, and research subfields. Consequently, these indicators should complement rather than replace qualitative assessment of scientific work.

Research in this area can address a wide range of scientific and technological challenges, including energy conversion, sustainable energy technologies, energy efficiency, thermal processes, renewable resources, energy storage, and system optimization. The precise contribution of an individual researcher should be established from verified publication-level evidence rather than inferred solely from subject classification or aggregate bibliometric indicators.

  • A documented research record comprising 16 scholarly documents in the supplied Scopus profile.
  • A reported citation count of 264 associated with the identified author record.
  • A reported h-index of 11.

Publications

The supplied Scopus profile reports 16 documents associated with Ali Fguiri. [1] The information provided for this article does not include the individual titles, journals, publication dates, article types, or verified DOI identifiers for those documents. Accordingly, specific publication claims and DOI assignments are not attributed to the researcher without publication-level verification.

The Scopus author profile provides a source for examining the indexed publication record, while the ORCID record can assist in identifying works associated with the researcher’s persistent digital identifier. [1] [2] Where individual publications are evaluated, DOI metadata should be verified against the publisher or Crossref record before being used as a formal citation.
