George V. Chilingar (also known as G.V. Chilingarian) is an American-Armenian Professor of Civil and Petroleum Engineering at the University of Southern California (USC).[1]

One of the best-known petroleum geologists in the world and the founder of several prestigious journals in the oil and gas industry, he has published 72 books and over 500 of articles on geology, petroleum engineering and environmental engineering. He serves as president of the U.S. branch of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences and 17 of his books have been translated into Russian. In recognition of these contributions, the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences has honored him as a Knight of Arts and Sciences.

He received his bachelor's and master's degrees in petroleum engineering and a Ph.D. in geology (with a minor in petroleum engineering), all at USC.
