Abstract: Construction of the E&P Dream Cloud platform focuses on a unified database, unified technology platform, and general applications. Firstly, it has achieved a number of general objectives, such as creating a collaborative research work environment for the exploration business and for well deployment demonstration and decision-making, and setting up a demonstration application environment for cloud applications to support collaborative research projects in regional companies. PetroChina Southwest Oil & Gasfield Company (Southwest Oil & Gasfield Company) has carried out an in-depth review of the research requirements for risk exploration in the Sichuan Basin with particular reference to the capabilities of the E&P Dream Cloud platform. As a result, many aspects of risk exploration research in the Sichuan Basin have now been carried out on Dream Cloud. These include: data organization and management, regional geological settings overviews, and research on structure, sedimentary patterns, source rock conditions, favorable plays and prospect targeting, well location design and deployment, etc. A collaborative research environment of “platform + project + business” has been constructed, and a new approach to scientific research and well deployment implementation explored and created in risk exploration based on the E&P Dream Cloud, which effectively supports research and decision-making in risk exploration in the Sichuan Basin and has already achieved positive results in practice.

Key words: E&, P Dream Cloud, Sichuan Basin, risk exploration, collaborative research, well demonstration and deployment
