The late Dr Daulat Debataraja Mamora.
KUCHING (July 2): Sarawak-born Dr Daulat Debataraja Mamora, who passed away April 6 this year at the age of 69, is attributed with setting up the Henry J Ramey Thermal Recovery Laboratory and X-ray Computed Tomography Scanner Laboratory for petroleum engineering at Texas A&M University in the United States.
In a statement carried in the university’s bulletin acknowledging the late Mamora’s scholarly footprint, the Harold Vance Department of Petroleum Engineering of Texas A&M University said: “Dr Mamora was a valued professor and mentor to many of our former students. He enthusiastically taught graduate and undergraduate courses in petroleum engineering at Texas A&M University for 17 years.”
“He had a passion for enhanced oil recovery research and was instrumental in establishing the Henry J Ramey Thermal Recovery Laboratory and X–ray computed tomography scanner lab, now known as the Chevron Petrophysical Imaging Laboratory.”
Computed tomography (CT) is a quantitative analytic method used in petrophysical field by researchers and petroleum engineers to determine the basic petrophysical properties of cores such as buck density, porosity, and fluid saturation and is proven to be more advantageous than conventional core testing methods
Mamora was a petroleum engineer and professor of petroleum engineering at the university. He obtained his masters and PhD in petroleum engineering from Stanford University, California.
He was also a visiting consultant to Petronas and Pertamina, visiting professor at ITB Bandung and Petronas University, and co-editor of the International Journal of Oil and Gas.
Prior to joining the university, he was head of Petroleum Reservoir Engineering in Sarawak Shell and Production Advisor of Shell Malaysia.
