On September 26, Li Kezhi, Chief Expert of the North China Oil and Gas Branch of Sinopec Corporation, led a delegation from the branch’s Engineering Technology Management Department, the Petroleum Engineering Technology Research Institute, and other units to visit the Geophysical Exploration Institute for a technical exchange and discussion. Yu Changheng, Deputy Secretary of the Party Branch and General Manager of the Geophysical Exploration Institute, chaired the meeting.


Li Kezhi and his delegation first visited the display board showcasing the achievements of the Geophysical Exploration Institute, watched a promotional video produced by the institute, and listened to a summary report on the results of wide-area electromagnetic monitoring of coalbed methane wells undertaken by the institute for the North China Oil & Gas Branch from 2022 to 2024.


Li Kezhi stated that the Geophysical Exploration Institute possesses advanced geophysical exploration technologies and has achieved outstanding results, making it a trustworthy partner for collaboration. Regarding the next steps in cooperation, he proposed two key areas: First, we must fully exploit the insights gained from monitoring results. To date, the Geophysical Exploration Institute has undertaken monitoring tasks for more than 20 wells under the North China Oil & Gas Branch. Both organizations need to engage in deeper exchanges and discussions to further enhance their understanding. Specifically, in the fields of conventional oil and gas, tight sandstone, carbonate rocks, and shale, we should explore the different patterns of fracture propagation in various types of reservoirs. Second, we must continue to proactively tackle technical challenges and expand our capabilities. We need to keep innovating, improving our process technologies, and increasing the number of monitoring parameters, striving toward comprehensive, three-dimensional monitoring to address issues such as vertical fracture height and effective fracture support. In addition, we must diligently monitor and track post-fracturing flowback data, and put into practice and establish a well-rounded fracturing monitoring system.

Yu Changheng extended a warm welcome to Li Kezhi and his delegation and expressed gratitude for their valuable suggestions. He stated that the Institute of Geophysical Exploration will continue to tackle technical challenges and foster innovation, further enhancing its technical services in monitoring oil and gas fracturing operations.

Relevant personnel from the Geophysical Exploration Institute’s Business Department, Chief Engineer’s Office, Science and Technology Innovation Center, and Seismic Exploration Department attended the symposium.
