After years of development, CNOOC Research Institute has formed a complete discipline system in the fields of comprehensive evaluation and research of offshore oil and gas exploration geology, reservoir engineering research, oil and gas field development engineering design and drilling and production engineering research, and has many qualifications such as engineering design, engineering consultation, environmental evaluation, safety evaluation and pressure pipeline design. As well as advanced computing equipment such as large parallel computers and various advanced professional softwares such as basin simulation, target evaluation, seismic data processing and interpretation, logging and well test analysis, reservoir numerical simulation, reservoir engineering evaluation, process calculation, structural analysis, economic evaluation, safety evaluation and environmental evaluation. Four national and headquarters key laboratories and a postdoctoral research center have been established.
CNOOC Research Institute also maintains good cooperative relations with many universities and research institutions at home and abroad. So far, it has carried out a series of technical cooperation, technical exchange and technical service activities with oil companies, research institutes, colleges and universities, engineering companies, China Youshi University, Shanghai Jiaotong University and other universities in more than 40 countries and regions, such as the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Canada, Norway, Russia, South Korea and the Netherlands.
In order to meet the strategic needs of the "second leap" of offshore oil in China, CNOOC Research Institute will, under the guidance of the company's policy of "independent innovation, key leap, supporting development and leading the future", constantly innovate ideas and methods, continuously strengthen the capacity building of scientific and technological innovation, cultivate high-end talents, enhance core competitiveness, and gradually form a core technical system and scientific and technological talent team with offshore oil characteristics, thus contributing wisdom and strength to the realization of CNOOC's leap-forward development.
