About
Dr. Baojun Bai, Lester R. Birbeck Endowed Professor of Petroleum Engineering at Missouri University of Science and Technology, received a B.S. in Reservoir Engineering from Daqing Petroleum Institute, M.S. in Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering from the Graduate School of RIPED, Beijing, PhD in Petroleum Geology from China University of Geoscience and PhD in Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering from the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. He has more than ten years of professional experience in petroleum development and production and advanced skills in reservoir sweep improvement (conformance control), chemical-based EOR processes, and laboratory experiments. Experience in management of waterflooding and CO2 flooding, reservoir modeling and simulation, reservoir performance evaluation and prediction, field application design, formation damage mechanisms and removal, laboratory experiments, and management of research group.
Selected achievements include:Developed methods to improve the efficiency of CO2 flooding and to reduce the cost of CO2 foam flooding; Developed and deployed New Conformance Control technologies (for example, preformed particle gel) in over 1,000 wells resulting in millions of barrels of oil increase and ten millions of barrels of water reduction; Developed a commercial water control optimization and design software which has been widely used in China oilfields; Directed the development of a three-dimensional, three-phase, nine-component reservoir simulator for IOR optimization; Ran reservoir simulators to optimize waterflooding and IOR process for 4 Blocks and multiple well-units; Designed and monitored water control and stimulation treatments for more than 100 wells.
Key skills include: Reservoir Sweep Improvement Strategies, Reservoir Simulation, Geology Modeling, Reservoir Surveillance, Reservoir Performance Evaluation and Prediction, Formation Evaluation (well log, well test), Fluid Properties and Phase Behavior, Fluid-rock interaction, Evaluation and Synthesis of Oilfield Chemical Agents, Formation Damage Mechanisms, Core Flooding Experiments.
