Abstract

Abstract: Oil and gas exploration and development is gradually turning to ultra-deep formations, complicated formations, deepwater areas and unconventional reservoirs, leading to higher requirements on drilling engineering. This paper makes briefings about the latest developments of drilling and completion technology, fracturing technology and equipment in recent years. It also makes analysis of drilling technological development trends -- improving ROP and drilling efficiency, improving the adaptability of complicated formations and the environment, making continual efforts for research and development of deepwater technology and equipment, focusing on fine fracturing and stimulation technologies, accelerating geological engineering integration technology and equipment, concentrating more efforts on automatic and intelligent technology and equipment. Improvement of petroleum engineering technology and equipment is an important way for highefficiency and economic exploration and development of various oil and gas resources. The experience in this area can enormously benefit China’s petroleum engineering technological development.

Key words: drilling and completion, well logging, stimulation, ROP, drilling safety, automatic drilling, formation testing while drilling, geological engineering integration, development trend
