The 15th China (Dongying) International Petroleum and Petrochemical Equipment and Technology Exhibition opened in Dongying. More than 1400 participating enterprises and over a thousand buyers gathered at the "online" exhibition to seek the development of the petroleum equipment industry.

The "Cloud Exhibition Hall" of the exhibition has set up areas such as equipment manufacturing, intelligent manufacturing along the Yellow River, and marine engineering, showcasing products related to marine and land petroleum drilling and exploration equipment. Through the use of VR, 3D, video and other technological forms, it comprehensively showcases the development achievements, advanced technologies, and products of domestic and foreign industries. "With the help of the exhibition platform, the publicity of our high-quality services and advantageous technologies has played a vital role in expanding the domestic and overseas markets and enhancing the popularity of enterprises." Wei Rongjun, Deputy General Manager of the Global Marketing Center of Shandong Kerui Oil and Gas Equipment Co., Ltd., told reporters that Kerui Oil and Gas has established branches in 57 countries and regions, including 46 countries along the "the Belt and Road". Kerui's products and services have also covered oil and gas field operation sites in more than 80 countries and regions around the world. 

In Dongying District, there are over 500 enterprises engaged in the research and development, manufacturing, service, and domestic and foreign trade of petroleum equipment, similar to Korui Oil and Gas Company. Among them, there are 97 large-scale manufacturing enterprises and 68 high-tech enterprises, with products covering 8 categories, 37 series, and more than 1500 varieties. With the help of service innovation and technological innovation, more and more local petroleum equipment enterprises have gone abroad and begun to serve the world. The petroleum equipment industry in Dongying District is also developing towards scale clustering, coordinated industrial support, and intelligent technological transformation.

Entering the headquarters hall of Weifei Marine Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd., what catches your eye are the technology layout map and patent honor wall. The company has established multiple global research and development centers, covering more than 30 countries and regions. They concentrated their efforts on researching breakthroughs in independent research and manufacturing technology for high-end marine and underwater mining equipment, and overcame technical difficulties in shallow water underwater production systems. The localization rate reached 88%, becoming the fifth enterprise in the world and the first in China to independently produce oil and gas energy and develop underwater production systems.

Dongying District adheres to the direction of high-end, intelligent, and service-oriented industries, focusing on key technologies, key components, leading enterprises, and chain projects. It increases basic research and development, "dual recruitment and dual attraction", and technological transformation efforts, focusing on breaking through the fields of intelligent equipment, onshore advantageous equipment, marine engineering equipment, and oil services, and making every effort to build a high-end intelligent petroleum and petrochemical equipment manufacturing base and an oil service enterprise headquarters base. Around the construction of high-level scientific research platforms, Dongying District has successively established new research and development institutions such as Dongying Petroleum Technology and Equipment Industry Research Institute, Shandong Shengli Petroleum Equipment Industry Technology Research Institute, and Annengtai Oil and Gas Production Technology Research Institute. It has also promoted the establishment of 42 provincial-level or above engineering laboratories, engineering technology research centers, key laboratories, and other research and development institutions, with more than 6800 professional and technical personnel engaged in petroleum equipment development.
