Abstract

Abstract: Progress and achievements of shale oil and gas exploration of Sinopec are systematically reviewed, and major measures for highquality exploration are summarized. In addition, the future research directions of shale oil and gas are proposed. In recent years, Sinopec has implemented a series of measures for the high-quality shale oil and gas exploration, covering the full chain of planning, theoretical technology,engineering and management, which are characterized by “planning guidance promoted by top-level design, technological innovation promoted by basic research, economic benefits promoted by technological iteration, and large-scale reserve increase promoted by collaborative work”. As a result, a number of leading demonstration projects have been constructed, including marine shale gas in new strata and new areas in Sichuan Basin and multi-type continental shale oil in the eastern fault basins, which vigorously promotes the high-quality and collaborative development of shale oil and gas exploration in multiple fields. In the future, Sinopec will solidify the foundation of shale oil and gas resources,strengthen confidence in shale oil and gas exploration, continue to deepen and improve the “dual enrichment” theory, pursue the concept of value leading the overall situation, adhere to the six “integrated” operation modes, promote shale oil and gas strategic breakthroughs and discoveries with high quality, and identify positions for increasing reserves and production on a large scale, so as to make greater contributions to ensuring national energy security.

Key words: Sinopec, shale oil and gas, high-quality exploration；main measures, enlightenment
