International Conference on Unconventional Geomechanics & Fall wrap up
October, 2019. We’ve been busy this fall! Sidney Green attended the US National Academy of Engineering annual meeting, presented a keynote at the 6th International Conference of Unconventional Geomechanics, and met with SINOPEC in Beijing. Bob and Jim spent time on triaxial testing services.
25th anniversary members - Members in attendance elected 25 years to the National Academy of Engineering (NAE).
This year the National Academy of Engineering’s (NAE) annual meeting highlighted 50 years of space travel, from the Apollo days to present, listen here to the NAE human space flight webcast. Sidney currently sits on the NAE Committee of Membership.
Following the early October academy meeting, in mid-October, the China University of Mining and Technology, Beijing, hosted the 6th International Conference on Unconventional Geomechanics (UG6) 更多.
UG6 Attendees.
The focus of UG6 was on the recovery of minerals from stacked deposits. Sidney Green presented a keynote lecture on the Recovery of Fluids from Layered Reservoirs (you can find the presentation here). A great, informative conference …another of Professor Jishan Liu’s continuously growing symposium series.
While in Beijing, Sidney also presented at SINOPEC Research Institute of Petroleum Engineering (Sripe) on geothermal and deep hard-rock geomechanic strategies and developments. Sripe is an affiliate of Sinopec Group. It is a world leader for wellbore technique research and development - a center for state-of-the-art petroleum engineering techniques. It's always such a pleasure to have time with such an engaged audience. Thank you Sripe and CUMTB for inviting EPI to give timely lectures and for incredible hospitality.

A special thank you to Wei Wang for hosting and being a great tour guide in Beijing. Mr. Wang is a Ph.D. candidate at China University of Mining and Technology, Beijing (CUMTB).
Finally, Bob Griffin and Jim Marquardt continue their calibration and certification of in-vessel instruments for geomechanics tests.
A busy season!
Hope everyone is enjoying the end of fall!
