Dr. Tom Blasingame is a Professor in the Department of Petroleum Engineering at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. He holds B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees from Texas A&M University—all in Petroleum Engineering. In his teaching and research activities, Dr. Blasingame focuses on petrophysics, reservoir engineering, diagnostics/analysis/interpretation of well performance, unconventional resources, and technical mathematics.

Dr. Blasingame's research efforts involve topics in applied reservoir engineering, reservoir modeling, and production engineering. He has made numerous contributions to petroleum literature in areas such as well test analysis, production data analysis, reservoir management, evaluation of low/ultra-low permeability reservoirs, and general reservoir engineering (e.g., hydrocarbon phase behavior, natural gas engineering, inflow performance relationships, material balance methods, and field studies).

Since 1991, Dr. Blasingame has graduated 78 M.S. (thesis), 37 M.Eng. (report, non-thesis), and 19 Ph.D. students. He has authored more than 200 technical articles and has led several major field studies involving geology, petrophysics, and engineering tasks.
