Shu Yang is a reservoir engineer at SINOPEC Exploration and Development Research Institute, Beijing. Her main research interests are in: 1) molecular modeling and molecular structures including chemical compounds used in EOR flooding, the molecular explanation for the impact of formation circumstances on chemicals’ viscosity and elasticity, and adsorption and flow of hydrocarbons in nanopores of unconventional reservoirs by simulation and theoretical modeling; 2) numerical simulations of CO2 flooding. She has received one Institute award and completed 3 national and ministerial research projects. She has published related 3 SCI papers and applied 3 patents in the past three years.

Dr. Keyu Liu is a professor at China University of Petroleum (East China). He has a BSc from Ocean University of China (1984), a MSc from Sydney University (1989), and a PhD from the Australian National University (1993). Keyu worked in various institutes in Australia for 20 years including the Commonwealth Scientific and Research Organization (1993-96, 1998-2014) and Adelaide University (1996-97). His major research interests are in characterization of conventional and unconventional reservoirs, stratigraphic forward modelling, quantitative petroleum system analysis and laboratory experiments on enhanced oil and gas recovery and CO2 geosequestration. Keyu has co-authored over 150 SCI-indexed journal papers, 4 books, 20 patents. He is an active member of AAPG, SPE, AGU and Chinese Petroleum Society.

Professor Wen Zhou is currently the Dean of the School of Energy Resources, the Chengdu University of Technology. He has been engaged in oil and gas geology teaching and research for nearly 40 years. Wen Zhou has taught 8 courses for undergraduates and postgraduate students majoring in petroleum geology and resource engineering, trained more than 100 master and doctoral students. He has won numerous awards including a Second Prize of National Science and Technology Progress Award, published 8 books and co-authored 300 articles. Wen Zhou has undertaken numerous research projects for oil and gas exploration and exploitation in the Sichuan Basin, Ordos Basin, Tarim Basin and some important oil and gas basins in the Middle East.

Bo Liu is a professor at Northeast Petroleum University, China. He received his Ph.D. from the China University of Petroleum (Beijing) in 2011. His current interests include the development of lacustrine source rocks and shale oil potential in lacustrine basin. He has reconstructed the evolutionary process of paleo-sedimentary environments of continental shales, and established the sequence and sedimentary model of fine-grained sedimentary framework in the Songliao and Santanghu basins. Bo Liu teaches Oil and Gas Geochemistry and Unconventional Oil and Gas Exploration for undergraduate and postgraduate students. He has co-authored over 100 papers in geoscience journals such as AAPG Bulletin and Marine and Petroleum Geology.

Baosen Zhang is a postdoctoral fellow at the Information and Data Center of the Petroleum Exploration and Production Research Institute, SINOPEC. His postdoctoral co-advisor is Dr Yitian Xiao, who is the chief scientist for big data & artificial intelligence in SINOPEC. Baosen got his B.Sc., M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in sedimentology from China University of Geosciences, Beijing. His current research interest is the application of big data & artificial intelligence in oil and gas exploration and production, especially in intelligent recognition of various geological images and Intelligent prediction of well logs.

Jianhui Zeng is a professor in the College of Geosciences, China University of Petroleum (Beijing). He received his B.Sc. degree from the Changchun Institute of Geology, and his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences in 1989 and 1991, respectively. He mainly engages in research in hydrocarbon accumulation mechanisms, geofluids analysis in sedimentary basins, fluid-rock interaction and reservoir evaluation. Jianhui has participated in numerous research projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the oil industry and has published more than 170 journal papers.
