Lian Zhao, P.Eng., PhD
Personal Statement
During three decades of practice in energy and environmental consulting services, I have, with great commitment, built a sound multidisciplinary engineering-and-science knowledge base, supported by corporate governance and professional community services. I received an APEGA five-year volunteer award. I am a member of the Practice Standards Committee’s Environmental Subcommittee, and chair of the Wetlands Subject-Matter Expert Panel and the Wetlands Science and Engineering Guideline Working Group. Under struggling low oil prices, Alberta’s economic conditions, and heavy environmental liability issues caused by aging O&G assets in Alberta, as a co-founder and principal of CEPro Energy Group I am providing corporate practice insights into integrated optimizations for the production recovery and liability management of mature oil and gas assets. A passionate participant within the professional community, I specialize in technical promotional activities related to energy and resources sustainable development under a lifecycle of regulation and innovation. I am confident in communicating the common agreement among diverse and multicultural professional circumstances. My trustful, respectful, and inclusive professional manners in multicultural settings facilitate understanding and acceptance of diverse decision-making approaches. As an individual and a Responsible Member of consulting companies, I oversee the enterprise and key
stakeholders, as well as academic and industrial collaborative partners. I prepare myself to embrace APEGA’s 2020 strategic plan and the challenges APEGA faces. If successful, I will actively be engaged in public dialogue that affects the professions and make APEGA more visible within the main economic decision-making stream. Additionally, risk management and incurred rising membership dues will always remain in my focus.
