A major contribution to the state-of-the-art for those interested in multiphase flow in well-bore, drilling cutting, hydrate and/or acid gas involvements

• The author is a leading researcher on the topics presented, and his development of gas-liquid flow pattern transition mechanism and multiphase flow models are major contributions to the multi-phase flow in wellbore
• Focuses on acid gas and hydrate involvements, offering the latest results from drilling engineering computation research
• Presents an emerging hot spot in petroleum engineering, with more multi-phase flow methodologies developed and adopted to improve the engineering process for gas & oil drilling and production

Baojiang Sun, Cheung Kong Scholar Chair Professor, Petroleum Engineering Department , China University of Petroleum (Huadong), Shandong, China. Professor Sun has more than 15 years of experience in multi-phase flow of petroleum engineering.  After years of study, concentrating on phase transition and solubility of acid gases in liquid, he has built up the innovative multi-phase flow model "seven components multi-phase flow pattern" applied in gas & oil drilling and production areas. Professor Sun has won 4 patents and 5 software copyrights, and has published over 60 articles in this area. Professor Sun has led the team to achieve "The State 863 Projects", "The National Key Technology R&D Program", "The Key Project of Natural Science Foundation", "The Major Subject of National Science and Technology". He is the winner of the Second Prize for the National Technology Progress Award in 2007, the winner of the First Prize for The Technology Progress Award of Shandong Province.
