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.
