With the research and application of the geology-engineering integration technologies

North America has won the victory of shale revolution

and the United States has realized energy independence

playing a dominant role in the global energy market. Its history and experience in shale revolution are the references of great value to the exploration and production of hydrocarbon resources in China. With abundant oil and gas in the exploration areas of Sinopec and various types of favorable targets

accelerating exploration and production is of great significance to improve China's energy structure and ensure national energy security. The application of geology-engineering integration has brought benefit development for the marine shale gas in the Sichuan Basin. In terms of realizing efficient exploration and production of the ultra-deep marine carbonate

tight sandstone and shale

five key studies are suggested to be strengthened: ①fine reservoir description and adaptive fracturing technology of exploration and production for complicated reservoirs

②ultra-deep carbonate reservoir prediction and optimal drilling technology system

③application of big data in realizing efficient adjustment and optimize completion program for tight sandstone gas reservoirs

④development of multi-layer and three-dimensional production technology for marine shale oil and gas

⑤research on the key problems in the deep

normal-pressure and continental shale oil and gas. To achieve high quality exploration and efficient production of oil and gas

Sinopec will keep strengthening the basic geological research and engineering technology innovation

upgrading technical equipment and following the idea of geology-engineering integration. And then

Sinopec will establish integrated operation coordination mechanism and emphasize integrated management of whole process in order to cut costs and increase efficiency.
