According to Ephraim Oil CEO Bill Hamm, Fraim was chosen because of his 30 years' experience in the industry, as well as his familiarity with sonic stimulation, chemical enhanced oil recovery, and enhanced tar/heavy oil thermal recovery. "Ephraim specializes in this unique formulation that's very cost-effective for the industry, and we think KFUPM is committed to teaching this kind of new technology."

Fraim added that he believes his background in both the industry and academia uniquely qualifies him to bridge the gap between the two. "I began working at Phillips Petroleum in the Research Center in the mid 1980s and received both my masters' and Ph.D. at Texas A&M University. In addition to my work with Ephraim Oil, I hold 63 patents covering individual needs in a large sector of the oil industry."
