Dan Reicher is executive director of the Steyer-Taylor Center for Energy Policy and Finance at Stanford, a joint center of the Stanford Graduate School of Business and Stanford Law School, where he also holds faculty positions. Reicher has more than 25 years of experience in energy and environmental policy, finance and technology.
It is now clear that enormous quantities of natural gas can be produced from organic rich shales found in many countries throughout the world. Because natural gas is both a flexible fuel and much cleaner than other fossil fuels, it has the potential to significantly transform energy use in many regions. Natural gas used for electrical power generation produces about half as much CO2 as coal.
Margot Gerritsen is an Associate Professor in Energy Resources Engineering and the Director of the Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering at Stanford University. Her work is about understanding and simulating complicated fluid flow problems. Gerritsen’s research focuses on the design of highly accurate and efficient parallel computational methods to predict the performance of enhanced oil recovery methods.
Fritz Prinz is the Finmeccanica Professor of Engineering and the Robert Bosch Chair of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford; professor of materials science and engineering; and senior fellow at the Precourt Institute for Energy.
Fritz Prinz is a Professor and the Department Chairman of Mechanical Engineering and a Senior Fellow at the Precourt Institute for Energy at Stanford University. He obtained his Ph.D.
Byron Reeves is a Professor of Communication and a Senior Fellow at the Precourt Institute for Energy at Stanford University.
John Weyant is Deputy Director of the Precourt Energy Efficiency Center and a Professor of Management Science and Engineering at Stanford University. He came to Stanford in 1977, primarily to help develop the Energy Modeling Forum.
Zhi-Xun Shen received his Ph.D. in Applied Physics from Stanford University in 1989, M.S. from Rutgers University in 1985, and B.S from Fudan University in 1983.
Lynn Orr has been the director of the Precourt Institute for Energy since its establishment in 2009. His research focuses on understanding the physical mechanisms that control displacement performance in gas injection processes for oil recovery and for storage of greenhouse gases like CO2 in oil and gas reservoirs, deep formations that contain salt water, and coal beds. Orr is working to develop efficient and accurate computational tools for prediction of flow performance at field scale in subsurface heter
Sally Benson is the Global Climate Energy Project Director and a Professor in the Department of Energy Resources Engineering (ERE) in the School of Earth Sciences. Benson’s research group in ERE investigates fundamental characteristics of carbon dioxide storage in geologic formations as a means of climate change mitigation. A ground water hydrologist and reservoir engineer, Benson has conducted research to address a range of issues related to energy and the environment.
