0 Introduction
The management of logging technology archives is an important part of the entire logging archives business process . In the basic work management links such as the collection, identification, arrangement, storage, retrieval, and statistics of logging technical archives, the management of logging technical archives directly reflects the purpose and direction of oilfield exploration and development work. As logging technicians’ awareness and understanding of logging technology archives continues to deepen, the utilization rate of logging technology archives is getting higher and higher. From simply consulting data to using patented logging archive technology, archives need to be provided. The scope of services is getting wider and wider, which will inevitably involve the issue of intellectual property protection of logging technology files. Intellectual property rights are an intangible property right, which refers to the results obtained by intellectual creative work. It is a right that intellectual workers enjoy in accordance with the law on their results. Such rights include personal rights and property rights. Since the early 1980s, the Chinese government has successively promulgated and implemented laws and regulations such as the Trademark Law, Patent Law, Copyright Law, and Computer Protection Regulations, basically improving the intellectual property legal system. The Ministry of Oilfield Science and Technology also recently issued the "Implementation Rules for Intellectual Property Management of Zhongyuan Oilfield", which clarifies the scope of intellectual property rights, mainly including: patent application rights, patent rights, technical secrets (proprietary technology), computer software, and scientific and technological works , engineering design documents, construction drawings, scientific and technological achievements, etc., stipulates that intellectual property management work follows the principles of “concentration of property rights, two-level management, emphasis on protection, and active use”. Establish a two-level intellectual property protection management system in the oil field to fulfill the responsibilities of intellectual property protection and confidentiality, supervision and rights protection, and technology licensing management, and implement everything from project research and development, property rights acquisition, engineering design, equipment manufacturing, construction, and technical services to owner use, technology Intellectual property protection and management of the entire process including licensing. It not only protects the invention rights and patent rights of copyright owners, but also takes into account the interests of information dissemination and knowledge product users.
The following will discuss some issues that need to be paid attention to in terms of intellectual property protection of logging technology files.
1 Classification of intellectual property rights of patented technology in logging archives
In the process of oil and gas exploration and development, logging technical data are the first and indispensable part of oil and gas discovery, reservoir evaluation and oil and gas development. Hand information. In the process of collecting, analyzing and researching logging data, a large number of unique logging technologies have been produced. Some have applied for patents and been confirmed by the national intellectual property authorities. Some have produced obvious logging technologies in logging production. Economic benefits, these technologies are summarized and mainly include:
1.1 Independently developed main logging equipment technology

2 Problems in the management of logging technology files
The intellectual property rights of logging technology embody the hard work and wisdom of logging technicians and are also important assets of the oil field. Due to various reasons such as personnel management and technical management in recent years, there are still some problems in the management of logging technology files, which have affected the application and further development of logging technology. The main problems are as follows.
2.1 Data archiving is not standardized
The archiving of patented technology-related data, technical drawings, written reports, etc. is incomplete and the data is scattered. Many technical data are not organized in a timely manner after the technology is developed. Multiple people develop and keep multiple people, which can easily lead to the loss of technology and technology leaks, making it inconvenient to protect intellectual property rights.
2.2 Insufficient digitization of logging technical archives
The so-called digitization refers to converting various technical information, including numbers, text, sounds, graphics, images, etc., into the computer system into binary numbers. Coding technology. The digitization of archives technical data is to allow more users to obtain the required archive information more conveniently. The lack of digital technical data is not conducive to the enjoyment of logging technicians, reduces the work efficiency of technicians, and is not convenient for the protection of intellectual property rights.
2.3 The construction of logging technology archive database still needs to be improved
Database construction refers to independent works that are arranged in a systematic or orderly manner and can be individually accessed through electronic or other means , collection of data or other materials. At present, the database of logging units is limited to the management of raw data of on-site logging. There is no unified database for effective management of patented logging technologies, which is detrimental to the protection of intellectual property rights of patented technologies.
2.4 The degree of network management of logging technology files is not high
In today's era, network technology continues to advance, and people can transmit, exchange and share various information in real time through the network. Insufficient logging technology archive digitization and database construction have affected the development of archive network management, thus affecting the realization of the goal of all-round sharing of archive information resources.
3 Intellectual Property Protection Measures for Mud Logging Technology Archives
Faced with the problems existing in the intellectual property protection of logging technology archives, in order to further improve the patented technology from generation, collection, classification and archiving to protection And use the effective management of all links to ensure that the patented logging technology can truly play its due role in serving oilfield exploration and development. We believe that the following tasks must be done in the protection of intellectual property rights in logging technology files.
(1) Archive management personnel should further improve their sense of responsibility, take root at the logging technology research and development site, keep abreast of the current status of logging technology development, and promptly remind R&D personnel of the confidentiality requirements for archiving technical data during the technology development process. , promptly solve the technical personnel's requirements for the use of archive data, archive the stage results in a timely manner by category, and lay a solid foundation for the protection of intellectual property rights in logging technology archives in the future.
(2) Further improve the rules and regulations for intellectual property protection of logging technology files, effectively implement national laws, regulations and relevant management regulations of Sinopec and oil fields, and implement business processes for intellectual property protection.
First, urge each unit to manage and protect the intellectual property rights of the logging technology files formed and used by the unit, establish and formulate the unit's intellectual property file management work system, management system and implementation details, adopt confidentiality and supervisory measures, and control confidential personnel, Monitor the market, prevent, stop, and pursue infringements in accordance with the law; secondly, we must pay attention to the patents of relevant units in inventions and creations such as basic research, scientific research project development, industrial testing, industrial applications, production, engineering design, engineering construction, and equipment development (manufacturing). The filing of application texts or technical disclosure documents ensures timely application and timely archiving and protection of patents; third, the implementation of responsible persons is responsible for tracking the entire process of application, maintenance and abandonment of logging technology patents, and standardizing the intellectual property rights of logging patent technology files management; the fourth is to formulate strict reward and punishment policies related to archived patent management to prevent violations of relevant regulations and contracts (agreements) that lead to damage to oilfield patent-related rights and interests, including but not limited to applying for patents for service inventions as non-service inventions. . In short, from the perspective of archives management, it is necessary to have clear, specific, and operable management methods for patent technology archives, as well as the relationship between rights and obligations in archives utilization services, intellectual property protection requirements, and confidentiality penalties. It must be enforceable. At the same time, the implementation of the system must be inspected and assessed from time to time, and the assessment results should be included in the performance of the oil field's operation contract assessment for the unit. This can ensure that the unit and all employees further improve their awareness of protecting technical archives and intellectual property rights.
(3) Technical support for well logging technology file management should be further improved. In today's technological age, even infringements have a high technical content. Lagging technology, incomplete databases, and network insecurity will make it impossible to protect the rights and interests of copyright owners. Therefore, it is necessary to equip the protected objects with technology and provide advanced technical support to prevent the loss and confidentiality of intellectual property rights in logging technology files.
(4) Accelerate the construction of logging technical file management team. Under the intellectual property legal environment, the operation of intellectual property protection for technical archives has put forward new requirements for the talent team. First of all, you must master the intellectual property law and other relevant laws and regulations, and have a strong intellectual property awareness and high intellectual property literacy. Only in this way can we keenly perceive, analyze and deal with the problems existing in the intellectual property management of technical archives, and effectively avoid the occurrence of infringements. Secondly, it is necessary to improve the level of policy understanding and professional quality and ability. The accurate grasp of policies and the strengthening of professional capabilities are conducive to the improvement of the management level of logging technology files. Finally, it is necessary to establish an expert technical archives management talent team. They must not only have high academic qualifications and understand the law, but also be proficient in archives intellectual property maintenance methods and computer network technology. Only in this way can they implement intellectual property laws and regulations and effectively protect technical archives. Intellectual property rights provide an important foundation and guarantee.
Protecting the intellectual property rights of well logging technology archives can maximize the development of well logging technology archive information resources, realize the sharing of resources, protect intellectual property rights, safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of copyright owners, and ensure the well logging technology The research and logging technical file management work was carried out smoothly.
