Development Strategy for Conversion of Petroleum Enterprises in Post-petroleum Era Hu Wenrui 2018, 37(3): 1-11.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1002-302x.2018.03.001 Abstract ( )   PDF (2525KB) ( )   Currently, petroleum consumption declines slowly after it reached the peak while replaceable energy is under rapid development. The world enters into the “post-petroleum era”. Petroleum enterprises are now pressed for taking advantage of the turning-point and opportunities of petroleum industrial development and making efforts for conversion and upgrading as well as sustainable development. A series of options have been proposed for those objectives. It is necessary to face this issue from the strategic angle, improve the awareness and motivation for strategic conversion, and identify the natural law of energy development and evolution. Against the new situation of global oil and gas market, petroleum enterprises should study the path for conversion and the new pattern for international energy cooperation, accelerate development of oil and gas resources in the South China Sea to make this region get on the “last bus” of fossil energy, develop new technology and equipment and change the outdated mechanism for cost-effective and rapid development of abundant low-graded oil and gas resources, and speed up new energy development by means of the advantages of technology, talent, fund and organizations. Meanwhile, they should reduce the proportion of downstream industrial fuel products, increase the proportion of high-end chemical material products break the deadlock of surplus refinery capacity, and bring about cross-disciplinary industrial conversion under certain conditions. As the mainstay of the national energy security, the petroleum industry should keep the country’s crude oil production no less than 200 million tons.

Accurately Select Key Points of Technological Novelty Identification from Oil Refining Projects Huang Yanke 2018, 37(3): 17-20.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1002-302x.2018.03.003 Abstract ( )   PDF (1570KB) ( )   Identification of technological novelty is information consultancy service that makes evaluation of novelty in writing. The novelty-identifying points of oil refining projects are related to the project types. This paper deals with some problems in the novelty-identifying work. For example, the client cannot accurately write the novelty-identifying points and the novelty-identifying worker cannot select the novelty-identifying points rapidly and effectively. Taking refining and chemical projects for instances, the paper summarizes the key research contents of various projects, such as pilot projects, industrial testing projects, and technological popularization and application project, and their relations with the noveltyidentifying points. It clarifies the directions for novelty-identifying points. Based on analysis of the cases, it points out that the novelty-identifying workers should make their own judgement and guide effective communications, thus accurately locating and selecting the appropriate novelty-identifying points.

This paper elaborates the conception and principle of intelligent oilfield as well as the characteristics, tasks and objectives of each stage. It points out that a series of bottlenecks should be solved in construction of intelligent oilfields in the areas of data, software, investment, talents and regional development. A total of eight basic functions should be completed at the stage of intelligentization, such as integration, prediction, evaluation, coordination, early-warning, management and control, responsive actions, and decision-making. It should reflect optimization of resources distribution, detailed management of development process, the dominant role of people in scientifically making decisions, promotion of development efficiency, and maximization of economic performance. Construction of intelligent oilfield is a project of system that calls for cross-disciplinary experts from petroleum, management and IT sectors to work together for common development of technology, system and mechanism. Meanwhile, the related conceptions and names should be standardized and the criteria should be unified in the efforts for mutual communication and mutual connection.

Analysis of Oil Companies’ Exploration and Development Trend and Policies in Latest Decade Yan Weipeng, Liu Mingming, Wang Qing, Zhao Zhe, Li Haowu, Zhang Ningning 2018, 37(3): 53-61.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1002-302x.2018.03.009 Abstract ( )   PDF (3105KB) ( )   Facing global economic fluctuations and oil price changes in recent years, oil companies of the different types have the development strategies in common while maintaining their respective characteristics. International oil companies adhered to their core strategies and highlighted the advantages of integration. Oil companies in emerging countries accelerated their internationalization process for rapid business development and expansion. Independent oil companies took advantage of their own expertise and focused on key technological research projects for breakthroughs. All their efforts propelled development of the world petroleum industry. Generally speaking, global oil companies took three main strategies of survival, adjustment and development in response to low oil prices. Based on a series of measures, they fulfilled their objectives for the current stage. Oil companies have effectively controlled their losses and gradually resumed confidence for business growth, bringing about a good turn for net profits. Based on the comprehensive analysis, this paper proposes that China’s oil companies should study classification of global oil companies, analyze their characteristics of property, and adhere to the core development strategy to expand China’s overseas oil business development. They should make timely adjustment of the short-term and medium-term strategies and enhance cooperation with oil companies both at home and abroad in harmony with overseas oil and gas business development.
