Recently, Prof.Roland N. Horne from Stanford University and Prof. Shiyi Zheng from London South Bank University paid visits to the university. They held talks with president Shan Honghong. Besides, Roland N. Horne was invited to be an honorary professor and Prof. Zheng to be a visiting professor of the university.

Two professors visited the Center of Oil and Gas Flow Through Porous Media and were highly impressed by the center in terms of research work on simulation of multiscale flow of unconventional oil and gas, simluation of flow through carbonate rocks, well testing interpretation, and laboratory construction, and expressed the desire of further cooperation. Following the visit, they delivered presentations entitled 'Current Status of Geothermal Development and Its Future' and 'Well Testing and Modern Reservoir Management.'

Prof. Roland N. Horne now works in Department of Energy Resources Engineering, School of Geosciencem, Stanford University and is one of NAE members. He maily concentrates on the research of geothermal, permeability, wettability and nanomaterials and has won the award of  SPELester C. UrenJohn Franklin Carll.

Prof. Shiyi Zheng is the head of Department of Petroleum Engineering, London South Bank University. His main research interests are  well test, including geological interpretation of well test analysis, uncertainty in well test and core permeability analysis, and reservoir productivity evaluation and forecast through well testing, etc.
