West Virginia University engineering professors Brian J. Anderson and Shahab D. Mohaghegh recently earned high achievement awards from U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Steven Chu. The two were recognized for their efforts with the National Energy Technology Laboratory in response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The NETL team was recognized for estimating the rate of oil flowing into the Gulf of Mexico, and also for developing options to cap the well. This work led to effective analyses of raw data, which guided major decisions to help reduce the environmental cost of the disaster.
