Introduction
Underground gas storage helps balance natural gas supply through controlled injection and withdrawal. Efficient operation requires reservoir management, well control, equipment maintenance, safety monitoring, and process optimization. Xiong’s experience at Wen 96 Gas Storage reflects these engineering priorities, while related research on carbonate gas reservoir well testing supports broader technical understanding.[2]
Research Profile
Xiong serves as Deputy Manager of Production and Operation at Sinopec Gas Storage Branch. After earning a master’s degree from Southwest Petroleum University in 2017, he gained six years of experience at Wen 96 Gas Storage, specializing in operational safety, well control, measurement management, equipment maintenance, compressor systems, and injection-production cycle management.[1]
Research Contributions
Xiong contributed to Wen 96 Gas Storage construction, capacity development, drilling coordination, process renovation, and production planning. He supported gas-injection planning and operational improvements. His reported work on unmanned-facility transformation included process modifications, automation upgrades, and control cabinet renovation. He also received recognition for performance, HSE practices, project construction, and mentoring. [1]
Publications
Xiong co-authored a study investigating laboratory well-testing experiments for fracture-cave carbonate gas reservoirs, contributing to research on reservoir evaluation and interpretation. The publication appeared in Petroleum in 2017. His professional biography also reports six academic papers and four granted national utility model patents. Further verification of publication records and patent documentation is recommended for accurate academic attribution. [2]
Research Impact
Xiong’s reported impact includes gas storage development, operational planning, patented technologies, and safety-focused engineering research. His project reportedly received second prize in the Henan Province Safety Science and Technology Achievement Award. Scopus metrics indicate one document, five citations, and an h-index of one, requiring complementary evidence to assess broader professional contributions.[1]
Award Suitability
Xiong’s experience in gas storage engineering, infrastructure development, operational safety, automation, and technical innovation supports consideration for the Best Researcher Award. His reported patents, publications, and professional recognitions provide additional evaluation criteria. A comprehensive assessment should verify research originality, patent records, project outcomes, publication quality, and independently documented professional impact before determining award suitability.
Conclusion
Wanli Xiong’s professional experience encompasses gas storage operations, engineering coordination, safety management, process automation, and applied technological development. His contributions at Wen 96 Gas Storage include infrastructure improvements, operational planning, and technical innovation. Reported patents, academic publications, and safety-related recognition provide additional evidence for evaluating his achievements and potential for formal research recognition.
