Page 10 - Enhanced Oil Recovery in Shale and Tight Reservoirs

Acknowledgments

This book summarizes some of my research results about shale EOR
technologies in the past decade. Some of the dissertation or research work
from my ex-PhD students, ex-postdoctoral students, and current PhD
students is used and cited to support my views in this book. They are Yang
Yu, Lei Li, Ziqi Shen, Siyuan Huang, Yao Zhang, Sharanya Sharma,
Xingbang Meng, Nur Wijaya, Srikanth Tangirala, Tao Wan, Samiha
Morsy, Shifeng Zhang, Hu Jia, Junrong Liu, Talal Daou Gamadi, and Jiawei
Tu. Some of the work published by other authors is cited. Their work is
sincerely acknowledged.
I have devoted much of my time to my career development. I owe much
to my wife Ying Zhang, my daughters Emily and Selena, and my parents Jifa
Sheng and Shouying Liu. If my life could be rechosen, I would have
reallocated my time to them.
Some of the research work was supported by the US department of
Energy under Award Number DE-FE0024311, Apache Corporation, and
ConocoPhillips.
