报告内容摘要：
In 2011, the world stands at a crossroads with regard to the recovery and use of energy. Over recent years oil, the world’s primary source of transportation fuel, has reached a “pinch point” between supply and demand – with the consequence that price has expanded rapidly to higher levels than ever seen before, then dropped precipitously. Quenching the world’s ever-increasing thirst for oil at a price that won’t bankrupt the economy is a problem that has grown serious. Discovering and recovering increasingly larger amounts of hydrocarbon resources will require new technology, as well as a larger and a more sophisticated technical workforce. This presentation will examine the future of three aspects: (1) resources, (2) technology and (3) manpower. The petroleum engineering discipline and petroleum education programs have crucial roles to play in all three aspects.

He was formerly the Chairman of the Department of Petroleum Engineering at Stanford from 1995 to 2006. He is best known for his work in well test interpretation, production optimization, and tracer analysis of fractured reservoirs. So far in his academic career he has supervised the graduate research of 37 PhDs, and 120 research MS students. He has received the Lester C. Uren Award from Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), as well as the John Franklin Carll Award. Horne was elected a member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering in 2002, and in 2007 he was designated an Honorary Member of SPE. Horne is the 2010-2013 President of the International Geothermal Association, Technical Program Cochair of the World Geothermal Congresses 2005, 2010 and 2015, a Guest Professor of the China University of Petroleum, and has served as adviser to Texas A&M University, University of Auckland, and Universiti Teknologi Malaysia.
