Key highlights
- S1 test well began drilling, initiating construction of Sinopec's petroleum engineering pilot platform.
- Project is coordinated by the Petroleum Engineering Technology Research Institute with a task force including Victory Petroleum Engineering Company to handle S1 technical challenges.
- Platform will test drilling and completion equipment, downhole tools and instruments, and key engineering materials under full-condition, full-process scenarios.
- Purpose is to enable integrated evaluation to accelerate technology testing and transfer, shorten R&D cycles, and reduce industrialization risk.
Construction Start
The S1 full-scale test well for Sinopec's petroleum engineering pilot platform has started drilling, marking the project's entry into the construction phase.
Testing Scope
The platform will support full-condition simulation, full-process testing and integrated evaluation of drilling and completion equipment, downhole tools and instruments, and key engineering materials to enable technology validation and industrial application.
Project Management
The Petroleum Engineering Technology Research Institute led planning and preparations; a special task force with Victory Petroleum Engineering Company was formed to optimize the S1 construction plan, address technical challenges and manage risks to ensure safe, stable operations.
