Abstract: This paper discusses the achievements obtained in the development and application of geophysical technologies in China during the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, based on summarizing the application, development background, deployment characteristics, and working methods of the geophysical technology of Sinopec west frontiers during this period. Some understandings on the achievements are put forward as follows: The geophysical technology is a stimulating impetus to the exploration for oil and gas. Deeper understanding to geology and the application of geophysical technologies supplement each other. It is the development method of geophysical technologies to organize and implement the integration of seismic acquiring, processing, and interpretation with scientific approach. Such new understandings will exert great effect on accelerating the further exploration for oil and gas resources in new frontiers during the 11th Five-Year Plan period.

Key words: west frontiers, geophysical technology, development and application
