The YJ-XX well, part of “Shendi No. 1” initiative, is located in Shaya County, Aksu Prefecture, Xinjiang, on the fringes of the Taklamakan Desert. This ultra-deep directional well, drilled by SINOPEC Petroleum Engineering Company with SETC serving as the integrated technical service provider, reached an impressive total depth of 9,432 meters, exceeding the height of Mount Everest by 624 meters.
SETC’s Drilling Optimization Center (DOC) service model has progressed through several phases, including the pilot testing phase in 2018, block-scale expansion trials in 2019, and full-scale deployment and application in 2020. By the end of 2024, SETC, in collaboration with the clients, had established six DOCs, each capable of simultaneously providing technical service up to 200 wells. Cumulatively, SETC DOCs have provided drilling optimization services for a total of 1,359 wells.
SETC delivers fully integrated drilling and fracturing service packages across key basins including Ordos and Bohai Bay. These services span the entire project lifecycle, offering a seamless combination of subsurface evaluation and operation execution. The scope of work includes comprehensive reservoir characterization, and the development of integrated geological-engineering plans tailored to each asset. For individual wells, SETC provides end-to-end technical design, covering geological modeli
