The 2022 International Conference on Oil and Gas Field Exploration and Development was held

From November 16th to 18th, the 2022 International Conference on Oil and Gas Field Exploration and Development (IFEDC), jointly hosted by Xi'an Shiyou University, PetroChina Xinjiang Oilfield Company (Xinjiang Conglomerate Reservoir Laboratory) and Shaanxi Petroleum Society, was held in a combination of online and offline formats, with experts, scholars and researchers from 16 countries including China, the United States, Russia, Canada, and Australia focusing on reservoir monitoring, intelligent oilfields, unconventional oil and gas exploitation, Carry out in-depth discussions on key technologies in the field of oil and gas exploration and development such as enhanced oil recovery, further promote international exchanges and cooperation, promote the continuous solution of technical problems in efficient exploration and development of complex oil and gas reservoirs, and promote the scientific and technological progress
of the industry.

The conference will be held in Xi'an and Xinjiang Oilfields, with the theme
of "Integration of Geology and Engineering to Improve the Efficiency of Complex Oil and Gas Reservoir Exploration and Development".
At the opening ceremony, Yang Liqiang, vice chairman of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Science and Technology Association, executive director and party secretary of PetroChina Xinjiang Oilfield Company, delivered a welcome speech
.
Li Tiantai, President of Xi'an Shiyou University, delivered a speech
on behalf of the conference organizers and the initiators of the conference.
He said that as a strategic resource of the country, oil and gas are an important material foundation for the development of modern society and the "bloodline"
of industrial economic operation.
As a pillar industry of the national economy, the oil and gas industry is facing a new situation
of emission reduction, carbon reduction and green development under the new requirements of the "dual carbon" goal and the general trend of energy transformation.
In order to ensure national energy security and reduce the dependence of oil and gas on foreign countries, it is necessary to increase exploration and development efforts and improve the capacity
of independent oil and gas supply.
Only with the continuous development and continuous progress of exploration and development technology, promoting technological innovation, enhancing the ability to participate in international oil and gas cooperation, and grasping the initiative of oil and gas energy security, can we effectively solve the problems
existing in China's oil and gas field exploration and development.

"The oil and gas industry is accelerating the integration of geology and engineering, digitalization and intelligent development, oil and gas geology - engineering intelligence has become a frontier hot spot and industry development trend, large enterprises are strongly promoting strategies and action plans, but from the overall trend of technological development, domestic and foreign are in the initial stage
.
" 。 Li Gensheng, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and director of the State Key Laboratory of Oil and Gas Resources and Exploration of China University of Petroleum (Beijing), said in his keynote speech that it is necessary to accelerate the strategic layout and research efforts, take geology-engineering big data as the core, integrate oil and gas intelligent equipment, artificial intelligence algorithms, and realize the whole life cycle of oil and gas exploration and development through
data governance and iterative circulation, oil and gas artificial intelligence scenarios, and digital twin visualization platform.

Zhang Dongxiao, academician of the National Academy of Engineering and executive vice president of the Oriental Institute for Advanced Study of Technology, proposed a solution for multi-scale smart oilfields from core to reservoir, namely smart digital core, smart logging, and smart oil and gas field development; Corresponding deep learning solutions are proposed for specific problems: data-driven, theoretical guidance, and transfer learning, indicating that the intelligent fracturing parameter optimization project has realized the application
of oilfield.

Syed M Farouq Ali, professor at the University of Houston, also gave keynote speeches
at the conference.

In the theme forum session, Shi Yujiang, Deputy General Manager of CNPC Logging Co.
, Ltd.
, Fan Yuxin, Chief Technical Expert of PetroChina Xinjiang Oilfield Branch, Liu Xianyang, Chief Technical Expert of PetroChina Changqing Oilfield Branch, Huang Jianjun, Vice President of Shaanxi Geological Survey, and Luo Donghong, Chief Development Officer of CNOOC Shenzhen Branch, discussed "Driven by Scientific and Technological Innovation
, Oriented by Green and Low-carbon - Promoting Energy Transformation".

In addition to the theme forum and keynote report, the conference also set up 12 sub-venues, and the participants exchanged reports on 12 aspects of oil and gas reservoir exploration and development
