Abstract: The Chinese and foreign oil companies have taken a series of measures for cost-effectiveness since the slump of oil prices. Of those, technological modernization has a long-term and remarkable effect on cost-effectiveness. An investigation was made on management methods and achievements of technology. This article summarizes the technology-based costeffectiveness methods in the six areas. International oil companies have attached great importance to investment for technology and enjoyed high returns from technological investment. Shell Technology Ventures was launched in an attempt to keep its ability to discover and convert the latest industrial technology. Development of compact oil and shale oil was concentrated in the specific areas and on a large scale, with the key superiority established. To reduce the cost on a long-term basis, the efforts should be devoted to reduction of the structural cost, instead of the periodic cost rising with resumption of the industry. Digitalization is an engine for technological innovations in the oil and gas industry. The development path designed by BP for digitalization is worth being borrowed. The objective for cost management is to optimize the cost, instead of minimizing the cost. For example, the drilling cost for each barrel of oil can more effectively reflect overall economic performance than the drilling cost of a single well.
