Petroleum engineering is a technology and knowledge intensive industry involving multiple disciplines and fields, which requires the technical and management personnel of petroleum engineering to have broad knowledge field, strong engineering practice ability and application ability, as well as strong ability to absorb new technology and innovation ability, so as to find problems, analyze problems and solve problems in time Question. China's traditional petroleum engineering personnel training mode has obviously been unable to meet the current talent demand. In view of the problems existing in the personnel training mode of Petroleum Engineering in China's higher education, this paper discusses the teaching practice and ways of petroleum engineering innovative talents training.
