Harvard setup a joint laboratory on petroleum Science with CUPB
Francis J.Doyle III, Dean of Harvard Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Science(SEAS), and Lizhi Xiao, Director of the National “111” Project on Petroleum Geophysical Prospecting and Former Dean of Geophysics and Information Engineering School at China University of Petroleum-Beijing (CUPB) officially signed an agreement on establishment of international joint laboratory on petroleum science at Cambridge, MA, on this October.
The joint program aims at fundamentals in petroleum exploration, recovery, refine and petro-chemistry through collaborative multi-disciplinary and advanced laboratory study, and focuses on forming high level and applicable theory and methodology, and fostering interdisciplinary talents from international perspective. The tasks for next five years will include developing new models and adopting advanced laboratory techniques to study oil and gas formation,migration, adsorption and flow in porous media, to investigate new theory and methodology for petroleum exploration, development, refining to maximize the oil and gas recovery and converting.
The joint program will mainly rely on the national “111 project” and the state key laboratory of petroleum resources and engineering at CUPB in China side, and the WeitLab in Harvard side. David A Weitz, Mallinckrodt Professor of Physics and Applied Physics, member of the US National Academy of Science, the US National Academy of Engineering, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences,is the US Director, and Lizhi Xiao, Changjiang Chair Professor at CUPB, is appointed as China Director. Weitz has worked for Exxon for more than 18 years,Xiao worked for Halliburton and China Petroleum for more than 30 years. Both of them have experience in the petroleum industry.
The petroleum industry is so interesting and complicated that almost every aspect worth efforts and there are so many things fundamentally remain unknown. In addition, as new technology appears, one canalways find proper applications in petroleum industry. The environment-friendly fracking and enhancement of oil and gas recovery, for instance, are two major concerns attractive to this joint program. Although the oil price has been inthe down turn cycle for years, the research efforts in fundamentals of the petroleum science and engineering never slow down. And now it’s a right time to get in and catch up the next wave. China University of Petroleum is a highly oil industry-oriented higher education institution and well facilitated petroleum related research organization. The cooperation between Harvard SEAS and CUPB will bring the petroleum engineering and experimental science together. We look forward to having more cooperation between Harvard and theoil industry worldwide to serve the energy industry and create a bright future.
