Abstract: Petroleum engineering R&D management faces more motivations for investment and more resources in the depressing time of petroleum engineering market to confront with the challenge from rapid technological development. The participants (ultimate user, technological integrator, technological innovator, technological investor) pay attention to the different things in the different stages of technological development. Coordination of the relations and interests among the participants becomes an important part of R&D management. The international oilfield service sector has seen some new trends for R&D management in response to low oil prices, such as making more rapid response to a client’s demands, accelerating multilateral cooperation in a more liberal way, using assessment tools on the basis of technological maturity assessment to reduce development risks, seeking the cooperative R&D patterns with appraisal and criterion-making organs to promote technological integration progress, and focusing on merger and coordination after acquisition of firms and technologies to improve technological R&D competence. This article also suggests that China’s oilfield service enterprises should emancipate their minds, improve their ability for design of technological commercial pattern and establish the flexible organizational structure and operational mechanism.
