5 million marks retirement of Foundation CMG

president
An internationally successful company with Calgary roots is helping two researchers build some of the world's top
programs in energy sector research.

Foundation CMG has made a $1.5-million contribution to the Engineering Leaders campaign at the University of
Calgary's Schulich School of Engineering. This will create two new laboratories and facility upgrades to support the
ambitious programs of two Foundation CMG Industrial Research Chairs: Dr. John Chen, NSERC/AERI/Foundation
CMG iCORE Industrial Chair in Reservoir Simulation, and Dr. Mario Costa Sousa, iCORE/Foundation CMG Industrial
Research Chair in Scalable Reservoir 4D Visualization.

The gift from Foundation CMG includes the creation of the Foundation CMG/Frank and Sarah Meyer Collaboration
Centre. This marks the occasion of the retirement of Frank Meyer, president and CEO of Foundation CMG, and
recognizes his 25-year commitment to furthering this area of research.

"Frank saw the importance of investing in and promoting engineering, science and technology. He established
Foundation CMG with the purpose to support projects such as research chairs, research and development, research
grants, and student awards. We are proud to continue his legacy," said Duke Anderson, president, Foundation CMG.

Foundation CMG is a not-for-profit member directed organization that promotes and funds research and student work
in the area of computer numerical modelling and the four-dimensional visualization of oil and gas reservoirs.
Expertise in this area is crucial when it comes to helping the industry find new and better ways to maximize oil and
gas recovery while reducing costs and environmental impact.

Foundation CMG has been supporting the Schulich School of Engineering since 2007 and has made over $5.4-
million in contributions supporting student awards, research grants and research chairs.

Under Meyer's leadership, Foundation CMG has embarked upon a $700-million, 25-year initiative to set up a network
of experts around the world who are devoted to finding economically viable solutions through computer modelling of
oil and gas recovery processes.
