Education and Appointments：
Chunfang Cai
General status: He received a M.S. degree (1990) in petroleum geology from Yangtze University and a Ph.D. (2000) in fluid geochemistry in Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Research Interest：
His main interests include effect of hydrothermal fluid on reservoir quality, thermochemical and bacterial sulphate reduction in petroleum-bearing basins and sandstone-type uranium deposits, application of organic sulfur isotopes to petroleum-source rock correlation and to determine if BSR- or TSR- derived sulfides were incorporated into petroleum.
Public Services：

Honors：

Supported Projects：
1. Role of microorganisms and petroleum in the formation of sandstone-type uranium deposits (2010.1-2012.12). Supported by the CAS.
2. Influence of thermochemical sulfate reduction (TSR) on reservoir porosity in the Permian and Triassic carbonates and a new method to gas-source rock correlation (grant no 40839906)(2009.1-2012.12), supported by united foundation of NSFC and Chinese Chemical Corporation.
