Recently, Chen Zhonghong, associate professor from School of Geoscience , and Zhang Liang, lecturer from School of Petroleum Engineering, got 2015 Eni Award nomination in the fields of oil-gas exploration and new energy and environmental protection.

　　The Eni Award is a prize awarded by the Italian oil and gas company ENI with the aim of encouraging better use of energy sources and increasing environmental research. The strict award guidelines and the notable names on the selection committee (including Nobel laureates) make ENI a coveted award. Some websites and magazines have called the ENI award as "Nobel prize of energy research". The scientific committee of the ENI award includes representatives from Stanford University, MIT, Cambridge University and others internationally distinguished universities and institutes.  

　　Chen Zhonghong is committed to the research of "oil-cracking gas under high temperature and pressure" in recent years. Findings have been  published in "Journal of Petroleum Geology", which has drawn international concern. Zhang Liang has been devoted to the research of CO2 geological storage, resource utilization, and unconventional energy development. He has published many articles in International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control,　Greenhouse Gases: Science and Technology, Applied energy, International Journal of Coal Geology. His paper "Potential Assessment of CO2 Injection for Heat Mining and Geological Storage in Geothermal Reservoirs of China" (SCI index 5.27) has been well  received  concerns from  the fields of energy and environment and will be further reported by  Renewable Energy Global Innovations as  “Key Scientific Article”.
