Yongzan Liu

Yongzan Liu is currently a research scientist at Schlumberger-Doll Research, located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, US. Before joining SLB, he was a postdoctoral research fellow in the Energy Geosciences Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboraory. He has been working on various research topics related to energy geomechanics, including coupled thermal-hydraulic-mechanical (THM) modeling of subsurface fractured reservoirs, hydraulic fracture monitoring and characterization, enhanced geothermal systems (EGS), system behaviors of gas hydrate accumulations, geological carbon storage, etc. He is currently interested in the integration of advanced numerical modeling and monitoring techniques to better understand the complex processes in subsurface reservoirs. He has authored/co-authored more than 30 technical papers. He holds a Ph.D. degree from Texas A&M University, an MS degree from the University of Alberta, and a BS degree from China University of Petroleum (East China), all in Petroleum Engineering.
