Li Shi-lun, a Communist Party member, was born in January 1935 in Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, studying in Soviet Union at his early years. Professor, Doctoral Tutor. Former Vice President of Southwest Petroleum Institute, Director for "China - Canada Gas Center" , Deputy Director of the Academic Committee in the State Key Laboratory of "Oil and Gas Reservoir Geology and Exploitation" and Deputy Director of the Academic Committee in Key Laboratory of China Petroleum "Hydrocarbon Accumulation and Development". The former member of the Science and Technology Committee in Oil Industry Ministry and the consultant expert for higher education in China National Petroleum Corporation. The expert in education with outstanding contributions in oil industry, enjoying the special allowances from State Council. The academic leader in science and technology and academia in Sichuan Province. He has once served many terms as Magazine Editor and Consultant for Natural Gas Industry, Director and Editor in Chief for Journal of Southwest Petroleum University, and the Vice Director of the Natural Gas Committee of Sichuan Provincial Petroleum Institute and Measurement Institute.
Professor Li Shi-lun is a domestic well-known specialist in the development of gas field and gas condensate field. For the past 50 years, he has been committed to the research on new theories, new methods and new technology for complex gas field development, research on theory, experiment and application of oil and gas phase state in gas condensate field and oil field, and technology research on improving oil recovery by gas injection. He has undertaken cooperation projects of national, provincial and ministerial and major scientific and technological for more than 70 items, and won a second prize in national scientific and technological progress, two first prize and six second and third prize in provincial and ministerial scientific and technological progress, two second prize in provincial and ministerial excellent teaching achievements. A total of eight monographs, teaching materials and translations et al has been published, including one national planning teaching material and one teaching materials for the 21st century. More than 110 articles have been published in domestic and foreign papers. Two post-doctors were guided and more than 90 Doctors and Masters were trained by Li Shi-lun.
He improved cube equation of state (LHHSS Equation), led the development of mercury vicarious medium and mercury-free PVT meter, and took the lead in the research of oil and gas phase state in porous medium. Most of the results were on top at home, and some reached the international advanced level.
In view of the reservoir characteristic of various and complex types and more tough producing reserves, he proposed earlier that we should develop China's enhanced oil recovery technology multivariately and by adjusting measures to local conditions. At the early 1990s, he again took the lead in the research of enhancing oil recovery by gas injection in China, cooperated with major oil fields and applied the gas injection theory and technology to China's 14 oil regions and 26 oil fields, which played the role of theoretical guidance and technical support, making significant economic and social benefits, training the talent, as well as promoting the development of China's oil field gas injection cause.
He covers extensively and is knowledgeable, rigorous for study, uniting the colleague, taking care to the overall situation, exerting the advantage of the team, and a person of exemplary virtue .So he gets the respect from school and oil industry, enjoying great prestige.
He was once in charge of teaching, pursued for education, cared for students and made painstaking efforts to promote the development of our school’s educational quality, subject construction, scientific research, postgraduate cause and international academic exchanges. He cares for studious students with economic poverty. Allying the schoolfellow, he sets up the "teachers’ scholarship" with private donations. He and other school leaders together won the international aid with a value of 9 million U.S. dollars and made significant contribution for projects construction of our school’s State Key Laboratory of "Oil and Gas Reservoir Geology and Exploitation", "China-Canada Gas Centre" and "Completion Center"， as well as the acquirement of post-doctoral station, state key disciplines and Dr. points.
