Research Projects:
With near 40 years of research and teaching experience, more than 350 publications and international conference presentations/posters, Prof. Ming Zha has built a reputation in the mechanisms of hydrocarbon generation, migration and accumulation, basin modeling and resources assessment.
Prof. Zha’s research interests focus on basin quantitative analysis and numerical simulation, hydrocarbon expulsion and migration mechanisms, petroleum entrapment, distribution and constraints, and basin resources and explorative objects assessment. His research has varied application to conventional and unconventional hydrocarbons, basin geofluids dynamics and prospective objects discoveries. Recently, Ming Zha hold several major research projects (973 project, the State major special research projects, etc.) on tight oil/gas, stratigraphical and lithological reservoirs supported by the National Science & Technology Ministry and State Petrochemical Enterprises.
