Academic Profile

Dr. Arshad Raza joined as a faculty member at the College of Petroleum Engineering and Geosciences (CPG) of KFUPM in September 2023. Prior to this role, he worked for 2 years as a postdoctoral researcher at CPG, KFUPM, where his work focused on carbon mineralization, adsorption, and underground storage of gases. During his Ph.D. studies, he introduced an innovative modified Laplace Model for the estimation of residual CO2 saturation in depleted reservoirs using static reservoir data. With over a decade of experience in the field of Petroleum Engineering, he is skilled in both teaching and research. His specific research areas include carbon capture and storage, underground hydrogen production and storage, as well as reactive flow dynamics. Dr. Raza is also serving as editorial board member in Petroleum, KeAi Journal.

In-situ Hydrogen Production in Natural Gas Reservoirs: From Methane Conversion Mechanisms to Techno-economic and Environmental Feasibility
Reservoir Science | Volume 2, Issue 4: 324-364, 2026 | DOI: 10.62762/RS.2026.563836
Abstract
In-situ hydrogen production from natural gas reservoirs (IHP-NG) is an emerging pathway for low-carbon hydrogen by converting methane-rich subsurface resources while retaining carbon-bearing byproducts underground. This review critically evaluates the reaction mechanisms, experimental and modelling evidence, techno-economic position, life-cycle implications, and deployment challenges of IHP-NG. Unlike heavy-oil in-situ combustion gasification, IHP-NG is governed mainly by methane conversion reactions, including steam methane reforming, partial oxidation, autothermal reforming, methane cracking, dry reforming, and water--gas shift, alongside competing pathways such as methanation, reverse wat...
