Multiphase Flow in Oil and Gas Well Drilling

Baojiang Sun, Cheung Kong Scholar Chair Professor, Petroleum Engineering Department, China University of Petroleum (Huadong), Shandong, China. Professor Sun has more than 15 years of experience in multi-phase flow of petroleum engineering. After years of study, concentrating on phase transition and solubility of acid gases in liquid, he has built up the innovative multi-phase flow model "seven components multi-phase flow pattern" applied in gas & oil drilling and production areas. Professor Sun has won 4 patents and 5 software copyrights, and has published over 60 articles in this area. Professor Sun has led the team to achieve "The State 863 Projects", "The National Key Technology R&D Program", "The Key Project of Natural Science Foundation", "The Major Subject of National Science and Technology". He is the winner of the Second Prize for the National Technology Progress Award in 2007, the winner of the First Prize for The Technology Progress Award of Shandong Province.

A major contribution to the state-of-the-art for those interested in multiphase flow in well-bore, drilling cutting, hydrate and/or acid gas involvements
