Biography

Dr. Binfei Li is a full Professor in the School of Petroleum Engineering at China University of Petroleum (East China), and a member of the National Key Laboratory of Deep Oil and Gas. He received his B.Sc. (2001), M.Sc. (2004), and Ph.D. (2007) in Petroleum Engineering from the same university. He was also a visiting scholar at Stanford University (2013-2014). His primary research interests focus on enhanced oil recovery (EOR) using foam fluids for oil and gas exploitation, heavy oil production, and CO₂ utilization for stimulation and EOR in low-permeability reservoirs. Professor Li has led major national research projects, including a project under the National Science and Technology Major Special on "Deep Profile Control and Flooding with Multiphase Foam in Reservoirs." His contributions to the field have been recognized with several prestigious awards, including the First Prize of the Shandong Provincial Technological Invention Award (2015) for key technologies in nitrogen foam stimulation. He has also served as a peer reviewer for numerous international journals, such as Fuel, Petroleum Science, and the Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering. He is a co-author of the book "Application of Foam Fluids in Oil and Gas Production" and a translator of "Foams and Foam Films: Theory, Experiment, Application."
