Abstract: Deepwater oil and gas resources are abundant worldwide with major exploration breakthroughs made continually. Competition among international oil majors in this area brings deepwater oil and gas exploration and development up to a high level. Deepwater reserves and production have climbed in recent years, occupying a higher proportion to the total offshore oil and gas reserves and production. With a robust demand for large-scale deepwater equipment, the capability for deepwater exploration and development has become one of the important benchmarks of international first-class oil companies. Deepwater technology has become the main orientation for oil and gas technological creation worldwide. South China Sea is rich in deepwater resources. CNPC has accelerated development of deepwater business in the efforts to secure the country’s energy supply. It is proposed to formulate the long- and medium-term oil and gas development plans, implement international offshore resources strategy and set up special organizations for business development to boost its strategic position. It is necessary to cooperate with international oil majors and the national oil companies of resources countries in the form of strategic alliance, highlight technological creation and stockpile in advance, and formulate the talent-producing plans for offshore business development.
