Assessment of Risks Related to Wellbore Safety in Deepwater Drilling
暫譯: 深水鑽探井眼安全風險評估

Yuqiang Xu, Taishan Scholar, winner of provincial Excellent Youth Fund, professor from China University of Petroleum (East China), visiting scholar at Texas A&M University. He is the Editor in Chief of Trends in Petroleum Engineering, Editorial Board of Natural Gas Industry and Journal of China University of Petroleum (Edition of Natural science), and the lead guest editor of special issues for several international journals. He is the PI for 3 National Natural Science Foundation of China and published more than 70 publications in important academic journals and conferences. His research interests include: Drilling geological and engineering integration, Wellbore multi-phase flow and well control, Drilling engineering risk diagnosis and control, and Intelligent drilling technology. For the first time, he used reliability to quantitatively evaluate the uncertainty of deep formation information, and on this basis, a set of theories and technologies for quantitative evaluation and control of drilling risks was proposed. His relevant achievements have been applied to more than 2000 wells in more than 10 oil and gas fields around the world, and won several science and technology rewards (got the following rewards with the first place: First Prize of China Invention Association, Second Prize of Provincial Government for Science and Technology Progress).

徐宇強，泰山學者，省級優秀青年基金獲獎者，中國石油大學（華東）教授，德克薩斯農工大學訪問學者。他是《石油工程趨勢》的主編、《天然氣工業》及《中國石油大學學報（自然科學版）》的編輯委員會成員，並擔任多個國際期刊特刊的主編。他是3項國家自然科學基金的首席研究員，並在重要學術期刊和會議上發表了70多篇論文。他的研究興趣包括：鑽井地質與工程整合、井筒多相流與井控、鑽井工程風險診斷與控制，以及智能鑽井技術。他首次使用可靠性來定量評估深層地層信息的不確定性，並在此基礎上提出了一套鑽井風險的定量評估與控制理論和技術。他的相關成果已應用於全球10多個油氣田的2000多口井，並獲得多項科技獎勵（獲得以下獎項的第一名：中國發明協會一等獎、省政府科技進步二等獎）。
