Logging technology file management is an important part of the whole logging file business. In the basic work management links such as collection, identification, sorting, storage, retrieval and statistics of logging technical files, the management of logging technical files directly reflects the purpose and direction of oilfield exploration and development. With the improvement of logging technicians' knowledge and understanding of logging technology files, the utilization rate of logging technology files is getting higher and higher, and the scope of file service needs to be more and more extensive from single access to information to the use of logging technology patents, which inevitably involves the protection of intellectual property rights of logging technology files. Intellectual property is an intangible property right, which refers to the results of intellectual creative labor and the rights enjoyed by intellectual workers according to law. This right includes personal rights and property rights. Since the early 1980s, the government of China has promulgated and implemented laws and regulations such as Trademark Law, Patent Law, Copyright Law and Computer Protection Regulations, which basically improved the legal system of intellectual property rights. Recently, the Ministry of Oilfield Science and Technology also issued the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of Intellectual Property Management in Zhongyuan Oilfield, which clarified the scope of intellectual property rights, mainly including: patent application right, patent right, technical secrets (proprietary technology), computer software, scientific and technological works, engineering design documents and construction drawings, scientific and technological achievements, etc. And stipulates that intellectual property management should follow the principle of "centralized property rights, two-level management, paying attention to protection and active utilization". Establish a two-level intellectual property protection management system for oil fields, perform the duties of intellectual property protection confidentiality, supervision and rights protection, and technology license management, and implement the whole process of intellectual property protection management from project research and development, property acquisition, engineering design, equipment manufacturing, construction, technical services to owner use and technology license. It not only protects the invention right and patent right of the copyright owner, but also takes into account the interests of information dissemination and users of knowledge products.

Some problems that should be paid attention to in the intellectual property protection of logging technical archives are discussed below.

1 Classification of patent technology and intellectual property rights of logging files

In the process of oil and gas exploration and development, logging technical data are indispensable first-hand data for oil and gas discovery, reservoir evaluation and oil and gas development. In the process of collecting, analyzing and studying logging data, a large number of distinctive logging technologies have been produced, some of which have been patented and confirmed by the national intellectual property department, and some technologies have produced obvious economic benefits in logging production. These technologies mainly include:

1. 1 Main logging equipment technologies independently developed.

The research and development of logging equipment in Zhongyuan mainly includes: matching and upgrading of logging instruments, independent research and development, research and development of drilling instruments, development of new logging technology and technical service support. It has the ability of independent design and research and development of three series and varieties of comprehensive logging instruments, sensors and auxiliary equipment. Among them, the design idea, structure, technical performance and practicability of the new NLS comprehensive logging instrument with independent intellectual property rights are at the leading level in China, and some technical indicators have reached the international level. At present, the equipment provides on-site service in Sudan, Kazakhstan, Yemen and other foreign logging markets, and has been well received by Party A. ..

1.2 new technology popularization and application technology independently developed.

It mainly includes: cuttings microscopic image analysis technology, infrared total hydrocarbon analysis technology, fast chromatographic analysis technology and wireless sensor technology. Among them, the self-developed microscopic image analysis technology of cuttings, which uses the characteristics of fluorescence images to analyze oil abundance and oil quality, is a major technological innovation in the development of logging industry, creating a brand-new geological logging technology model, which is of great significance to the development and reform of logging technology. This technology won the third prize of scientific and technological progress of the group company.

1.3 logging software development technology

2 problems in the management of logging technology files

The intellectual property of logging technology embodies the hard work and wisdom of logging technicians, and is also an important asset of oil fields. In recent years, due to personnel management, technical management and other reasons, there are still some problems in the file management of logging technology, which have affected the application and further development of logging technology. The main problems are as follows.

2. 1 Data archiving is not standardized.

Patent technology related data, technical drawings, written reports, etc. Incomplete and scattered, many technical materials are not timely and orderly after technology development, which is easy to cause technology loss and technology leakage and is not convenient for intellectual property protection.

2.2 Logging technology files are not digitized enough.

The so-called digitalization refers to the technology of inputting various technical information including numbers, characters, sounds, graphics and images into computer systems and converting them into binary digital codes. The digitization of archival technical data is to make more users more convenient to obtain the required archival information. The lack of digital technical data is not conducive to the use of logging technicians, reducing their work efficiency and protecting intellectual property rights.

2.3 The construction of logging technology archives database needs to be improved.

Database construction refers to collecting independent works, data or other materials in a systematic or orderly way and accessing them by electronic or other means. At present, the database of logging companies is only limited to the management of field logging raw data, and there is no unified database to effectively manage logging patented technology, which is not conducive to the intellectual property protection of patented technology.

2.4 The network management of logging technical files is not high.

Nowadays, with the continuous progress of network technology, people can transmit, communicate and enjoy all kinds of information in real time through the network. The lack of digitalization of logging technology files and database construction has affected the development of network management of files, thus affecting the realization of the goal of comprehensive sharing of file information resources.

3. Intellectual property protection measures for logging technical archives

Facing the problems existing in the intellectual property protection of logging technology archives, in order to further improve the effective management of patented technology from the aspects of its generation, collection, classification, filing, protection and utilization, and ensure that logging patented technology really plays its due role in serving oilfield exploration and development, we believe that the intellectual property protection of logging technology archives should do the following work.

(1) Archivists should further improve their sense of responsibility, take root in the research and development site of logging technology, keep abreast of the development status of logging technology, remind R&D personnel of the confidentiality requirements for technical data archiving in the process of technical development, solve the technical personnel's requirements for the use of files in time, and archive the results in a timely manner, so as to lay a solid foundation for the intellectual property protection of logging technology files in the future.

(2) Further improve the rules and regulations on intellectual property protection of logging technical archives, conscientiously implement national laws and regulations and relevant management regulations of China Petrochemical and Oilfield, and implement the business process of intellectual property protection. First, urge all units to manage and protect the intellectual property rights of logging technology files formed and used by them, establish and formulate the management system, management system and implementation rules of their own intellectual property files, take confidentiality and supervision measures, control secret-related personnel, monitor the market, and prevent, stop and investigate violations according to law; Second, we should pay attention to the filing of patent application texts or technical disclosure documents in basic research, scientific research project development, industrial test, industrial application, production, engineering design, engineering construction, equipment development (manufacturing) and other inventions of relevant units to ensure timely patent application and timely filing protection; The third is to ensure that the responsible person is responsible for tracking the whole process of patent application, maintenance and abandonment of logging technology, and standardizing the intellectual property management of logging patent technology files; Fourth, formulate strict reward and punishment policies related to patent filing management to prevent violation of relevant regulations and contracts (agreements) from damaging oilfield patent-related rights and interests, including but not limited to applying for patents for service inventions as non-service inventions. In short, from the perspective of archives management, patent technology archives should have clear, concrete and operable management methods, the relationship between rights and obligations in archives utilization services should be enforceable, and the requirements for intellectual property protection and the provisions on the punishment for confidentiality should also be enforceable. At the same time, the implementation of the system will be inspected and assessed irregularly, and the assessment results will be included in the assessment of the unit's oil field operation contract to ensure that the unit and all employees' awareness of intellectual property rights in protecting technical files will be further improved.

(3) The technical support of logging technology file management needs to be further improved. In today's era of science and technology, even infringement has a high technical content. Backward technology, incomplete database and unsafe network will make the rights and interests of copyright owners unable to be guaranteed. Therefore, it is necessary to arm the protected objects with technology and provide advanced technical support to prevent the loss and loss of intellectual property rights of logging technical archives.

(4) Speeding up the construction of logging technical archives management team. Under the legal environment of intellectual property rights, the intellectual property protection of technical archives puts forward new requirements for the talent team. First of all, we must master the intellectual property law and other relevant laws and regulations, and have a strong intellectual property awareness and a high intellectual property literacy. Only in this way can we keenly perceive, analyze and deal with the problems existing in the intellectual property management of technical archives, and effectively avoid the occurrence of infringement. Secondly, it is necessary to improve the level of policy understanding and professional quality and ability, and the accurate grasp of policies and the strengthening of professional ability are conducive to the improvement of logging technology file management level. Finally, to build an expert team of technical archives management talents, we must not only have a high degree of education and understand the law, but also be proficient in the maintenance methods of intellectual property rights of archives and computer network technology, providing an important foundation and guarantee for implementing intellectual property laws and regulations and effectively protecting intellectual property rights of technical archives.

Protecting the intellectual property rights of logging technology archives can maximize the development of logging technology archives information resources, realize resource sharing, protect intellectual property rights, safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of copyright owners, and ensure the smooth development of logging technology research and logging technology archives management.
