About the authors

Dai Caili completed her doctorate in 2006 and has been a professor at China University of Petroleum (East China) since 2008. She has pursued extensive research on enhanced oil recovery and oilfield chemistry, and is a distinguished scholar in China in the field of petroleum engineering. She is a recipient of the National Outstanding Youth Science Fund and has been selected as a “Yangtze River Scholar Distinguished Professor.” She has won second prize in the National Scientific and Technological Progress Award, and many provincial and ministerial Scientific and Technological Awards. Dr. Dai has published more than 200 papers and two books, and has applied for more than 30 patents. She is a Fellow of the Chinese Petroleum Society and a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers.

Zhao Fulin was born in August 1933. His career spans more than fifty years of teaching and research work on oil production chemistry. He has published more than 200 papers and holds seven national patents. He is the founder and pioneer of the discipline “Oilfield Chemistry,” which uses chemical principles and methods to explain and solve problems encountered in the oilfield, in China. He has published five textbooks, two of which – Oil production Chemistry and Oilfield Chemistry – were honored with the National Excellent Teaching Materials Award.
