Areas of Research

Reservoir Engineering and Reservoir Simulation
Dr. Zhangxing (John) Chen is a professor in the Department of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering. He currently holds the NSERC/AIEES/Foundation CMG Industrial Research Chair in Reservoir Simulation and the AITF (iCORE) Industrial Chair in Reservoir Modeling. He is the director of the Frank and Sarah Meyer Foundation CMG Collaboration Centre at the University of Calgary. By simulating oil recovery processes using state-of-the-art computational and visualization techniques and equipment, Dr. Chen is improving the ability of computer models to identify risk and study feasibility before new processes are put into practice. His work is uncovering new, more economical and sustainable ways to recover heavy oil, oil sands, tight and shale oil and gas resources. He has published and/or edited 17 books and over 600 research papers, and has given over 356 invited (plenary and keynote) presentations worldwide. He has received numerous prestigious awards such as The NSERC Synergy Award for Innovation, The Outstanding Leadership in Alberta Technology Award, IBM Faculty Award, Imperial Oil University Research Award and Gerald J. Ford Research Fellowship Award. His research interest is in reservoir engineering and numerical reservoir simulation for conventional and unconventional oil and gas reservoirs
