Hu Chaoyang received his Bachelor of Engineering in Petroleum Engineering from Northeast Petroleum University (NEPU) in 2010, followed by a Master of Engineering in Oil and Gas Well Engineering in 2013 and a Ph.D. in Oil and Natural Gas Engineering in 2017, all from NEPU. He became a lecturer at NEPU's Faculty of Petroleum Engineering in 2017 and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2021. His research specializes in casing damage mechanisms, hydraulic fracturing, and well-bore integrity. Dr. Hu has studied interdisciplinary approaches to address shear-induced casing failure, including the development of an AI-driven formation pressure inversion method using convolutional neural networks, which significantly improved computational accuracy over traditional techniques. As investigator, he led provincial-level research projects on casing damage mechanisms and contributed to national initiatives on tight oil reservoir fracturing. His work has yielded 13 SCI/EI-indexed publications on fracture propagation and casing failure, 9 authorized patents, and the Heilongjiang and Jilin Provincial Science and Technology Second Prize.
