Technology and Innovation
Focusing on self-reliance in state-of-the-art technologies and taking innovation as the key driving force for development, we improve the technological innovation framework, accelerate the commercialization of scientific and technological achievements, develop new quality productive forces, and promote high-quality development.
As the exploration and development of oil and gas proceed, there are fewer oil and gas resources that are easy to discover and tap, and the produced petroleum is becoming more inferior. To satisfy ever increasing energy demand and meet higher environmental protection standards, our technological R&D and innovation is focused on increasing the exploration success ratio of complex oil and gas reservoirs, enhancing the recovery efficiency of mature oilfields, developing unconventional hydrocarbon resources, improving the quality of refined and chemical products, and ensuring environmentally friendly operation.
We continue to improve the management system for technological innovation, optimize the allocation of R&D resources and promote in-depth scientific and technological exchanges and cooperation. This has resulted in a number of R&D achievements, which provide strong support to our efforts to tackle technical difficulties in oil and gas production.
We deepen the reform of the framework for innovation governance by strengthening top-level design and overall planning. We continue to improve our innovation capabilities, create high-level innovation platforms and promote the deep integration of the “innovation chain” and the “industrial chain.” The National Technology Innovation Center for Geophysical Exploration was approved for construction, making it the first national technology innovation center in the oil and gas field. As of the end of 2024, the company had 29 national technological innovation platforms and more than 60,000 R&D personnel.
