RE: Dr Qing who????? Hello Poise,
i had to create an account just to answer this for you. Dr. Qing is the department head and professor at the university of regina geology depatment. I don't know what his oil discovery record is but he does his research on carbonate rocks. The following is taken from his web page. He also has a number of papers published (most if not all on sask rock formations)
My research integrates the petrography with geochemistry to investigate diagenesis of carbonate rocks, especially dolomitization, and its implication on reservoir development and mineralization in the sedimentary basins. Currently I am working on the Ordovician Red River dolomite reservoirs, Middle Devonian Winnipegosis mounds, and Mississippian carbonate reservoirs in southeast Saskatchewan; diagenesis of Middle Devonian carbonate outcrops in northeastern British Columbia; Ordovician carbonate reservoirs in the Ordos Basin (China); and Devonian dolomite in Yangtze Platform (China). The long-term objective of my research is to characterize and compare the diagenetic features and their geochemical attributes of carbonate rocks in different tectonic settings in order to establish the spatial, temporal and genetic relationships between the tectonic evolution, fluid migration, diagenesis, reservoir development, and mineralization in sedimentary basins.
I am also working on secular variation of isotopic composition of seawater in the geologic history and exploring the possible forcing mechanism for these changes. Currently I have expanded this research into reconstruction paleoclimate changes and associated biotic crisis in geologic history based on the isotopic record from carbonate minerals. One project I am working on is O and C isotopic records of speleothems from different elevations and their implications for climatic changes. The other project that I am collaborating with Dr. Chen (Chinese Academy of Science) is to establish a high-resolution δ13Ccarb-δ13Corg-87Sr/86Sr isotopic record from several Devonian sections in China in order to provide a better understanding of the mechanism for the collapse of the ecosystem at the Devonian Frasnian-Famennian boundary.
