- S1 test well has begun drilling, marking the start of construction for Sinopec’s first petroleum engineering pilot platform.
- The platform, led by the Petroleum Engineering Technology Research Institute, will test drilling and completion equipment, downhole tools, instruments and key engineering materials.
- Objective is full-condition simulation, full-process testing and integrated technology evaluation to shorten R&D cycles and reduce industrialization risks.
- The Engineering Institute formed a task force with Victory Petroleum Engineering Company to optimize S1 construction planning and ensure safe, stable operations.
Construction start
The S1 full-scale test well has begun drilling, marking the start of construction for Sinopec’s first petroleum engineering pilot platform led by the Petroleum Engineering Technology Research Institute.
Platform scope
The platform will focus on drilling and completion equipment, downhole tools and instruments, and key engineering materials, providing full-condition simulation, full-process testing and post-completion integrated technology evaluation.
Objectives
Planned outcomes include shortening R&D cycles, reducing industrialization risks and improving efficiency to accelerate technology iteration and deployment.
Execution and risk control
The Engineering Institute carried out coordinated planning and preparatory work and formed a task force with Victory Petroleum Engineering Company to optimize the S1 construction plan and manage technical and safety risks for stable operations.
