Mechanics of Oil and Gas Flow in Porous Media

Professor Dang Li works at the College of Petroleum Engineering, Xi’an Shiyou University.A member of the American Society of Petroleum Engineers, his main research interest is in oil and gas field development engineering.  Professor Junbin Chen is Vice-President of Xi’an Shiyou University and a member of the American Society of Petroleum Engineers.His teaching and research chiefly focus on oil and natural gas engineering, applied mechanics, and computational and applied mathematics, particularly percolation theory and the numerical simulation of oil and gas reservoirs, as well as special simulation techniques for oil and gas fields.

Basic law of percolation.- Steady state percolation of single-phase incompressible fluid.- Interference theory of wells under rigid water drive.- Unsteady state percolation of slightly compressible fluid.- Percolation law of natural gas.- Foundation of water/oil displacement theory.- Percolation theory of oil-gas two phases (dissovled gas drive).- Percolation in dual-media.- Percolation of non-Newtonian liquid.- Theory of similarity.
