1. Personal Introduction Cao Binfeng, from Binzhou City, Shaanxi Province, is an associate professor and master's supervisor. He graduated from the geology base class of Northwest University in 2011, obtained a master's degree in mineral prospecting and exploration from China University of Petroleum (Beijing) in 2014, and obtained a doctor's degree in mineralogy, petrology, and mineral deposit (petroleum geology) from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (Chinese Academy of Sciences University) in 2018. Continuing postdoctoral research at the Institute of Geology and Geosciences from August 2018 to July 2021, and conducting research and development on geological modeling technology at Beijing Grid Tiandi Software Technology Co., Ltd. from August 2021 to May 2022. From June 9, 2022, served as a lecturer at Northwestern University, and from October 2022, served as an associate professor. On August 11, 2019, I worked as a visiting scholar at the University of Liverpool in the UK, conducting collaborative research Engaged in long-term research on the diagenesis and accumulation processes of deep and tight oil and gas reservoirs, organic-inorganic interactions, geological modeling and characterization of clastic oil and gas transport layers, and oil and gas migration and accumulation. The diagenetic patterns, degrees, and products related to organic-inorganic interactions during oil and gas filling and migration exhibit heterogeneity at different scales in reservoirs, and this heterogeneity is particularly prominent in deep basin and unconventional tight oil and gas reservoirs, causing confusion in the understanding and evaluation of reservoir effectiveness. The understanding of the modes and processes of multiphase oil and gas migration and accumulation in structurally heterogeneous reservoirs/transport layers has provided profound insights for the study of the spatiotemporal evolution and complex dynamic mechanisms of organic-inorganic interactions, as well as their impact on reservoir effectiveness. In recent years, the study of reservoir diagenesis and hydrocarbon injection has been combined, and the relationship between organic inorganic interactions related to hydrocarbon injection and reservoir structural heterogeneity has been analyzed by integrating field outcrop and drilling core data; By utilizing advanced techniques such as fluid inclusion micro zone composition determination and dating, as well as high-precision in-situ elemental and isotopic analysis of mineral micro zones, we aim to reconstruct high-precision time series of reservoir diagenetic evolution and hydrocarbon filling, elucidate the dynamic mechanisms of organic-inorganic interactions and the heterogeneous characteristics of spatiotemporal properties during multiphase hydrocarbon filling processes, and reveal the mechanisms and processes that affect reservoir effectiveness. The relevant research has been applied to the deep and tight oil and gas fields in basins such as Tarim, Junggar, and Ordos in China, playing an important role in understanding the formation mechanism of large-scale effective reservoirs and predicting the distribution of oil and gas sweet spots Welcome graduate students with backgrounds in petroleum geology, geochemistry, computer simulation, and other related fields to join the team
