Oil and Gas Industrial Development Trend Prior to 2030 and Suggestions on Policies Feng Cuiyang, Wan Hong, Tang Xu 2016, 35(4): 1-5.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1002-302x.2016.04.001 Abstract ( )   PDF (1838KB) ( )   IEA, EIA, OPEC and ERI RAS as well as oil companies like BP and ExxonMobil have long been engaged in the research work of energy statistical and perspective analysis, which is of great influence. This article summarizes and analyzes the latest energy outlook reports of those energy organs and companies while comparing the different points presented in those reports and making elaboration of the oil and gas industrial development trend prior to 2030. This research includes that the economic and social development will continue to fuel global energy demand growth with more cleaner energy used at a higher efficiency. Oil market demand and supply are generally kept at stable while international oil price may be bounced from a low level. Natural gas development enters into its golden era. China’s energy consumption growth will slow down with gradual optimization of the structure. The United States, Russia and other countries will adjust their energy policies while diversification of energy imports becomes more apparent in consuming countries. The Chinese oil companies should adapt themselves to the development trend and firmly commit themselves to development of oil and gas businesses, drawing up a natural gas business development strategy on the basis of international visions. It is also necessary for the Chinese oil companies to accelerate innovation of technological and commercial patterns, take advantage of the market opportunities for low-carbon new energy business, study and release the energy industrial development trends, and improve their industrial influential power.

Development and Application of Risk Pre-evaluation Model for Oil Well Measures Liu Bin, Xu Yan, Luo Huansheng 2016, 35(4): 23-27.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1002-302x.2016.04.005 Abstract ( )   PDF (1803KB) ( )   Liaohe Oilfield is mainly engaged in thermal production of heavy oil. One of the business bottlenecks facing the enterprise is how to increase production and efficiency under the low oil price environment to avoid inefficient investment. Therefore, PetroChina Liaohe Oilfield Company conducted a research on pre-evaluation of economic performance for the measures taken on oil wells. All the wells for the measures are classified into four categories according to their performance while the pre-evaluation model is created with the performance-evaluating plates developed. The single-well benefit evaluating system is used as the platform to make calculations according to the principle of balance of profit and loss and determine the cut-off point of effective and invalid measures, visually making pre-evaluation of the risks for the geological processes and measures taken to increase production of oil wells, such as workover, lateral drilling, fracturing, the fill layer and plugging. The risk pre-evaluation model for oil well measures has been put into wide application in Liaohe Oilfield and achieved the purposes of lowering the investment risks for measures, optimizing the investment for measures and improving the economic efficiency of measures and the economic benefits of block development. The research result provides the quantitative tool for oilfields to evaluate the measure risks. The model can be used to make pre-evaluation of the measures taken on a variety of oil wells and has a broad prospect for application.

Geological Study and Pilot Test of Tight Oil in Ordos Basin Niu Xiaobing, Feng Shengbin, You Yuan, Wang Fang, Li Weicheng, Hao Bingyin 2016, 35(4): 38-46.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1002-302x.2016.04.008 Abstract ( )   PDF (3004KB) ( )   Tight oil in Chang 7 Member, Upper Triassic Yangchang Formation, Ordos Basin, is the typical tight oil of continental facies in China. Remarkable achievements were made in exploration and development of this area thanks to the relative geological study and pilot test. A series of geological researches have been carried out with a lot of innovations acquired, such as fine description of distribution of hydrocarbon source rock in space and time, development of model for lacustrine gravity flow deposits, establishment of the method for characteristics of quantitative pore and throat at micro to nano scale, quantitative prediction of fractures in tight reservoirs, and in-depth analysis of tight oil injection and accumulation mechanism. Some experiments were conducted on the field, such as test on volumetric fracturing of tight oil horizontal well and test on large-scale development. The demonstration zones of Z1 and Z2 were established for tight oil horizontal well technological study while the experiment zones of A, Z and W were established for development on a large scale. A significant breakthrough was made in single-well production in the experiment zone, thus making an effective use of resources. A total of 21 items of key technology were integrated on the basis of the study, with the tight oil reserve confirmed. Tight oil was effectively produced on a large scale at the preliminary stage. This paper also briefs about the bottlenecks and issues from the geological study of basin tight oil and the field test. It elaborates the mindset, methods and experiences for settlement of those issues. As for the unconventional geological objects like tight oil, it is necessary to identify the fundamental nature of tight oil and use the unconventional technology and method. The integrated multi-disciplinary study holds the key to success. The analysis and summarization offer examples for the theoretical and technology study as well as exploration and development of tight oil in the basins of the same continental facies.

Opinions and Suggestions on China’s Oil and Natural Gas Industrial Market Reform Cong Wei, Jiang Zhaolong, Li Xuefeng 2016, 35(4): 53-57.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1002-302x.2016.04.010 Abstract ( )   PDF (1689KB) ( )   Marketization is regarded as the basic characteristic and fundamental direction of China’s oil and gas industrial restructuring. Currently, the international oil prices are continually fluctuating at a low level while the domestic oil and gas market supply and demand are basically under balance, providing the conditions for further marketized reform of the oil and gas sector. Based on analysis of the market economic theory, this article comes up with the marketization target, the basic conditions, the effective pre-conditions for market competition and the required rules. It also analyzes the present conditions of the Chinese oil and gas industry. Currently, the markets of the domestic upstream, middle-stream and downstream sectors have already deregulated in an inverted pyramid format under the preliminary stage with the market environment for orderly competition gradually established. However, a series of issues still remains at the present time, such as imperfect market structure, lack of oil and gas pricing mechanism, enterprises unable to act as the backbone of market, inadequate functions of governmental supervision, coordination or support, and imperfect legal system for the industry. Taking into account the special industrial attributes, this article proposes to enhance the top design of marketization reform, adhere to the progressive reform principle, establish the oil and gas market pricing mechanism and perfect the market supervision.
