Abstract

Abstract: Yanchang oilfield was founded on terrestrial oil generation theory, pioneered oil exploration and development, and witnessed the development history of China petroleum industry from scratch to prosperous and from small to large. The early exploration history of Yanchang oilfeld is reviewed with personal experiences, and the century-long exploration history of Yanchang oilfeld is reconstructed. In the course of sustainable development, Yanchang oilfeld followed the "hard-working" entrepreneurial spirit of Chinese oil workers, overthrew the conclusion of "China was oil-poor", gradually recognized the laws of geology, developed a series of drilling and production technologies for tight and low-permeability sandstone reservoirs, and realized the theoretical and technological innovations in the exploration and development of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs. This may enlighten the development of China petroleum industry in the new era.

Key words: Yanchang oilfeld, exploration, petroleum industry, enlightenment
