Heavy assets to heavy technology butterfly change, oil technology sector continued to make breakthroughs: previously, under the center of low and medium oil prices, the company took oil technology services as the main profit point to realize the butterfly change from heavy assets to heavy technology. In recent years, the company has made breakthroughs in the research and development of key oil technology. For example, two scientific and technological achievements, including rotary steering and high-temperature logging, were selected into the catalogue of innovation achievements of central enterprises. The self-developed “Xuanji” rotary steering and logging while drilling system has full specification field operation capability and has successfully entered the overseas market.

Investment suggestion: benefiting from the continuous rise of the oil price center, the company is expected to shoulder the global leader in comprehensive oil services, and is optimistic about the profit elasticity brought by the recovery of drilling platform utilization. It is estimated that the net profit attributable to the parent company from 2022 to 2024 will be RMB 2.72/3.54/4.02 billion respectively, corresponding to 21, 16 and 14 times of PE, maintaining the “buy” rating.

Risk tip: the international oil price fluctuates sharply, the capital expenditure of oil companies is less than expected, and the repeated epidemic makes the demand recovery less than expected
