Since it is harder and harder for oil and gas exploration, the petroleum equipment industry meets new development opportunity and for the petroleum and petrochemical industry, the technology and equipment is fatal for the oil and gas industry development. Based upon the rapid seeping of information technology, worldwide exploration technology has stepped into a digital, intergation and informationization time.

Digital oilfield has become the future developing trend for the petroleum companies and China also does a lot to the oilfield informationization construction. Taking a look to the digital oilfield construction all over the world, there are still difficulties for both technology and management especiall for operation process renovation, heterogeneous data integration and professional technology software research. In a long period, it will influence the digital oilfield development.

Furthermore, the application for informationization and intelligence in oil and gas storage and transportaion system has greatly improved the operation efficiency. Since the economic increase relies more and more on the oil and gas resources, as a hinge system, oil and gas storage and transportation plays an increasing strategic status in national economy construction. Currently, there are many problems in oil and gas storage and transportation system of China including the corrosion monitoring & assessment, energy saving and environmental protection.

The 7th International Petroleum Summit will offer a platform for technology application and market research for industry insiders by focusing on oil and gas storage & transportation as well as digital oilfield.
