1989 Gordon Bell Prize Committee Report "The amount of money at stake is staggering. For example, you can typically expect to recover 10 percent of a field's oil. If you can improve your production schedule to get just 1 percent more oil, you will increase your yield by $400 million (at $20 per barrel in a 20-billion-barrel field). " MOBIL (oil company) "He has made a significant accomplishment in a computer science sense. . . . During the time saved, we could do more engineering studies on other oil fields, which saves both time and money." The Chronicle of Higher Education "Philip Emeagwali, who took on an enormously difficult problem and, like most students working on Ph.D. dissertations, solved it alone, has won computation't top prize, captured in the past only by seasoned research teams.... If his program can squeeze out a few more percentage points, it will help decrease U.S. reliance on foreign oil." Detroit Free Press "[Petroleum reservoir simulators] are like space-age divining rods, and they'll operate much more swiftly and accurately as a result of Emeagwali's work. . . . Emeagwali puts math to work in real world." UPSTREAM, oil & gas industry publication "The unorthodox innovator has pushed back the boundaries of oilfield science."
