Proceedings of the International Field Exploration and Development Conference 2020 (Springer Series in Geomechanics and Geoengineering)

This book is a compilation of selected papers from the 10th International Field Exploration and Development Conference (IFEDC 2020). The proceedings focuses on Reservoir Surveillance and Management, Reservoir Evaluation and Dynamic Description, Reservoir Production Stimulation and EOR, Ultra-Tight Reservoir, Unconventional Oil and Gas Resources Technology, Oil and Gas Well Production Testing, Geomechanics.

The conference not only provides a platform to exchanges experience, but also promotes the development of scientific research in oil & gas exploration and production. The main audience for the work includes reservoir engineer, geological engineer, enterprise managers senior engineers as well as professional students.

Jia'en Lin is a Professor at Xi'an Shiyou University. He holds a Ph.D. in Mechanics from Tsinghua University, an M.S. from China Petroleum University, Beijing and a B.S. from Southwestern Petroleum University, both in Petroleum Engineering. He worked as a visiting scholar at the University of Houston for one year during 2011-2012 and at the Heriot-Watt University for half a year in 1998. He also worked as a petroleum engineer at Xinjiang Petroleum Administration Bureau from 1983 to 1996.

Prof. Lin has over 30 years experience with national oil-producing companies and universities. His research areas include reservoir description, reservoir engineering, well test analysis, reservoir information management, prediction of production performance, multi-phase fluid flows in porous media, and numerical simulation. He has published over 50 papers in journals and conference proceedings, and has led more than 30 research projects on reservoir monitoring and well test data interpretation, reservoir engineering, reservoir description and management for PetroChina, Sinopec and Cnooc in the last ten years. In addition, he is the founder of the Center for Reservoir Monitoring and Management at Xi'an Shiyou University.
