The drilling technology has already gone through the 3 stages of the experienced drilling, the scientific drilling and the automation intellectua-1 drilling from the last century to now. The leading trend of drilling technology development is to develop the automatic and intelligent controlling system of drilling in the 21st century. The article describes the development of drilling technology and explains its effect for promoting petroleum exploration and production, i. e. the development of drilling technology increases the benefits of petroleum exploration and production much greatly and improves the results of petroleum exploration and production. Meanwhile, with the petroleum industry development, the requirements of expanding the fields of petroleum exploration and production further more and conducting the sustainable development strategy promote the new more development of drilling technology to meet the needs of petroleum exploration and production. Prospecting the development of modern drilling technology and the future of petroleum exploration and production, it is pointed out the drilling technology will play more role in exploring the potential of residual oil further more, increasing the recovery factor, developing the marginal oil fields, bettering the results of petroleum exploitation, and further more improving the economic benefits of petroleum exploration and production to make more contribution for the petroleum industry.
