Challenges and Development Tendency of Engineering Technology in Oil and Gas Development in Sinopec

The progress of engineering technologies in oil and gas development has provided significant support for the stable growth of crude oil production and the fast development of natural gas exploitation.As the increase of complication of reserve targets and oil price drop, engineering technologies should be innovatively developed to meet the challenge with wider applicatability and lower engineering cost.In this paper, the trend of oil and gas development in Sinopec and related engineering technical challenges were reviewed.Then, the development tendency of engineering technologies was proposed.Finally, some suggestions to speed up the development of engineering techniques were put forward from the aspects of engineering technology innovation, technical and economic adaptability and R D test platform construction, which will promote the development of oil and gas development engineering technologies and realize efficient development of oil and gas resources to guarantee national energy supply.
