In 2013, Shengli Oilfield grasped the two major oil and gas exploration blocks in the east and the west, focusing on "fine exploration to stabilize the foundation in the east and innovative breakthroughs to accelerate the development in the west", highlighting oil and gas discoveries and commercial discoveries, optimizing the exploration deployment and strengthening the economic evaluation.
