To meet these challenges, artificial intelligence (AI) technology is gradually penetrating into oil and gas drilling engineering, improving the intelligence level of drilling operations. Based on the current research status of oil and gas drilling engineering at home and abroad, this paper discusses the key technical applications of artificial intelligence in oil and gas drilling engineering. Intelligent drilling and completion technology combines big data, artificial intelligence algorithms and software platforms to optimize key technologies such as wellbore trajectory, directional drilling and drilling speed to improve operation safety and efficiency. Secondly, the research and development and application of intelligent drilling equipment have been relatively mature internationally. Equipment such as intelligent drilling rigs, drill bits and rotary steering systems have achieved a high degree of automation, which has improved operation efficiency and reduced labor costs. Finally, the drilling and completion software system integrates and analyzes a large amount of data by introducing technologies such as machine learning and cloud computing, thereby optimizing drilling design and operation. Although China started late in the field of intelligent drilling software and equipment, it has made some progress, mainly in monitoring optimization and design. In the future, with the breakthrough of core technology, artificial intelligence will bring a technological revolution to the development of oil and gas resources. China needs to continue to strengthen basic research, combine the actual needs of the industry, and promote independent technological innovation and application promotion, so as to improve the overall level of intelligence and narrow the gap with international advanced technology.
