Foundation CMG visit

The Centre and Prof Suzanne Hurter from the School of Earth Sciences have been exploring a collaboration with the philanthropic organisation CMG Reservoir Simulation Foundation. As part of the developing partnership Duke Anderson, the president of the Foundation, and two fellow members of Foundation CMG visited the University of Queensland and the Centre. In conjunction with the visit, an Onshore Gas Student Research Expo was held to showcase the extraordinary student research at UQ in the field of Onshore Gas and there was a student poster competition. It was a successful afternoon of sharing research and networking with industry members that attended the event, as well as interactions with Foundation CMG representatives.  Among many high quality posters 3 students stood out, Shilo Mahoney, Jie Yi and Benjamin Wu, who received 1^st, 2^nd and People's Choice Award respectively.
