Amir Haghi leads reservoir engineering and geomechanical R&D and field studies at Viridien. He brings nearly two decades of experience delivering high-impact subsurface solutions for energy and carbon storage. He leads geomechanical studies for global CCS projects across the North Sea, the U.S. offshore sector, and Asia; directs the development and enhancement of Geosim®, Viridien’s fully coupled reservoir-geomechanics simulator; and established the Seismic-Integrated Geomechanics Assessment Plan (Sigma-P), a workflow for high-fidelity geomechanical modeling, fault-stability assessment, and risk management. Amir holds a Ph.D. in Geomechanical Engineering from the University of Alberta and a degree in Business Leadership, Impact, and Management from Harvard Business School. He is the author of more than 35 papers and received the University of Alberta’s N.R. Morgenstern Award for Best Ph.D. Thesis. He chairs the Geomechanics Special Interest Group at SPE Calgary and the InterPore Minisymposium on Poromechanics and Induced Seismicity. Amir returns to the EAGE CO₂ Storage Monitoring Workshop series as a keynote speaker, having previously presented at the inaugural EAGE workshop in Toronto in 2025.
