Since 2015, we have carried forward the reform of two separate promotion systems for managerial and technical personnel in our subordinate research institutes and oilfield companies, and provided an independent, continuous and stable career path for the technical professionals. To help the technical experts bring their expertise into full play, we set up the skill inheritance network led by the national skill master workshops with demonstration from the company's skilled expert workshops.
