    It is our great sadness to inform our members and friends that CAPA’s founding president, Frank Yau (姚鳳北) has passed away at 3:45 am on June 10th, 2022, due to illness. The memorial service will be held on June 18th at 11am at Winford Funerals Southwest ( 8514 Tybor Drive, Houston, TX 77074).

    Dr. Yau, a graduate of National Taiwan University and Purdue University, together with his friends and colleagues from the oil and gas industry, founded Chinese American Petroleum Association (CAPA) back in 1983 as a platform to promote technology communication and development between mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong , Macau and the US. Since then CAPA has become an important platform for collaboration between energy industries among the greater China region. Their technical leaderships have created many wonderful events, including annual technical forums, International Conference for Chinese Petroleum Engineers, training courses, etc. The impact has been profound and deeply appreciated by both sides of the straight.

    Dr. Yau came to the US in 1968 and got his Ph.D. from Purdue University in mechanical engineering. He started his career in Exxon R&D, and later became the VP of Enron China and the general manager of Burlington Resources China. He loved travel and had been to most provinces in China and all 50 states of the US. His footsteps also include many other parts of the world. He was also a prolific writer and had authored more than 50 articles and books in both Chinese and English.

    Dr. Yau’s foresight in CAPA’s creation will be remembered and remain as an important legacy to Chinese Americans in the energy industry and as an example how contributions and cooperation can be made in difficult times.

親愛的會員和朋友們：

    很遺憾地通知大家, CAPA的創始會長姚鳳北博士於2022年6月10日凌晨3點45分因病去世。追悼會將於 6 月 18 日上午 11 點在 Winford Funerals Southwest（8514 Tybor Drive, Houston, TX 77074）舉行。

    姚博士與石油界的朋友和同事們於 1983 年成立了美國華人石油協會（CAPA），作為促進中國大陸、台灣、香港、澳門和美國之間技術交流和發展的平台。在此之後， CAPA已成為大中華地區能源行業合作的重要平台。多年來，CAPA團隊舉辦了無數精彩的活動，包括年度技術論壇、中國石油工程師國際會議、培訓班等，影響深遠，得到了兩岸三地及美方的高度讚賞。

    姚博士畢業於台灣大學，1968年來到美國，獲得普渡大學機械工程博士學位。 他的職業生涯始於Exxon研發，後來成為Enron China副總裁和Burlington Resources China中國總經理。他熱愛旅行，去過中國大部分的省份和美國50個州。他的足跡還包括世界上許多其他地方。他也是一位多產的作家，不但發表了 50 多篇中英文文章，同時也撰寫了不少書籍。

    姚博士對 CAPA 創立的遠見將被銘記，毫無疑問地將成為我們華裔在能源行業的重要資產，以及如何在困難時期做出的貢獻與合作的典範。

2021年2月20日由美国华人石油协会(CAPA)，大休斯顿地区清华大学校友会（HTTA），和休斯顿中国人活动中心（CCC）联合，举办了一场关于水管冻裂和其他极端天气造成房屋损坏的保险理赔须知的网络学习会。

在过去的一周时间里，休斯敦地区遭受了百年一遇的冰雪风暴，本地民居的建造原本并未考虑如此极端的寒冷天气，因此许多朋友都经历了水管爆裂并找人维修的艰难过程。本期网络学习会邀请到了安稳保险的杨德清先生，以他在休斯顿星空网（这里可以加链接）和XX网（这里可以加链接）发表的文章为参考，杨先生为大家详细介绍了水管冻裂所造成的损失的保险理赔过程和要点，有针对性的地指出了水管冻裂和其他极端天气造成房屋损坏的保险理赔面对的挑战。最后他给了很多非常有建设性的参考和建议。

最后的问答环节中，由于是朋友们正在面对的困难，大家提问的热情非常高，讨论持续了很久。杨德清先生针对大家的不论是具体问题还是对今后购买保险的疑虑，都做出了非常细致的回答。

此次座谈会也是采用线上会议的形式，是CAPA在2021年的第一次面向公众的活动，总共持续二个半小时，为2021年CAPA的活动掀起了第一个的高潮。这次活动吸引了众多遍布大休斯顿地区的大量人员参与, 由于ZOOM在线会议参与人数有限制，会议开始前就已经爆满，很遗憾不能让其他更多想了解的朋友参加进来。我们后续会把杨先生讲解的录像放在网上，大家可以随时关注。

The Future of Energy: the Trend, the Impacts, and the Adaptation

未來能源產業的展望：趨勢、影響、與順應

Dear CAPA Members and Friends,

Chinese American Petroleum Association (CAPA) sincerely invites you to attend the 2019 Annual Conference, which will be held on October 11, 2019. This year the conference will focus on the theme “The Future of Energy: the Trend, the Impact, and the Adaptation”. Southwest Section of the Chinese American Chemical Society (SW-CACS) will co-organize the Downstream session with CAPA. The Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) will sponsor the student paper contest.

The symposium venue is the Marathon Conference Center, 5555 San Felipe, Houston TX 77056, courtesy of the continuing and generous support from Marathon Oil Corporation.

The oil and gas industry is facing challenges and opportunities as the global energy market evolves. The industry needs to meet rising energy demand while at the same time to reduce carbon emissions. With steady and increasing supply of alternative energy such as biofuels, solar, geothermal, and wind power, the traditional industry focusing on conventional and unconventional resources has been experiencing the impacts. Digital transformation, thanks to machine learning and artificial intelligence, also has been contributing to more efficient processes and new business strategies. As a result, how the industry adapts or reforms itself to embrace alternative energy and new technology has become a major issue. This changing energy landscape also provides great opportunities for individuals with an open-mind and positive altitude, and appropriate skill sets to thrive in the new era.

2018 CAPA PETROLEUM TECHNICAL SYMPOSIUM

DATE:   Friday, October 19, 2018

VENUE:   Marathon Oil Tower, 5555 San Felipe, Houston TX 77056

THEME

Big Data and Artificial Intelligence Accelerate Innovation and Technology Development in the Oil and Gas Industry

大数据和人工智能推动石油技术继续创新发展

Dear CAPA Members and Friends:

Chinese American Petroleum Association is pleased to announce the 2018 Petroleum and Petrochemical Technical Symposium, which is to be held on Friday, October 19, 2018. This year, the Southwest Section of the Chinese American Chemical Society (SW-CACS) will co-organize the Downstream and Chemicals sessions with CAPA. The Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) will continue to sponsor the student paper contest.

The symposium venue is the Marathon Conference Center, 5555 San Felipe, Houston TX 77056, courtesy of the continuing and generous support from Marathon Oil Corporation.

In recent years, the oil and gas industry has seen significant and critical advancement in data science and technologies derived from data management. Across technical and business functions, Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are revolutionizing the traditional data analysis, data visualization, and predictive tools. High-speed tech computing could help reduce time and resources for trouble shooting, literature search, and improve reliability in operations. Machine learning, in partnership with human intelligence could expedite alternative screenings and accelerate innovation. In the meantime, the deployment of Big Data and AI-based technologies will require resources, infrastructure and technical support, and many issues such as applicability, reliability, and security are yet to be validated. This technical symposium intends to explore these evolvements from a systematic and big-picture view to better understand the constraints and potential opportunities, and identify areas to assist the integration of these novel tools and technologies in the O&G industry.

We encourage you to submit abstracts on relevant topics as described in the technical sessions below. Student members are also encouraged to submit their papers to the Student Paper Contest session and take this opportunity to share their research results as well as to improve their presentation skills.

Symposium Program Outline

(1) General Session (Morning):

Four to five invited keynote speakers from major oil companies and the service sector will discuss high-level, current and future challenges, opportunities and solutions.

(2) Parallel Technical Sessions (Afternoon):

·       Exploration & Production

·       Unconventional Plays

·       Upstream Engineering and HSE

·       Downstream and Chemicals (jointly with SW-CACS)
