1、The background of the competition

Exploration geophysical technology,as one of the most important means for the exploration ofhydrocarbonand mineral resources,is facing new opportunities andchallenges. The complex geological conditions and the expansion of new exploration fields have made the processing and interpretation of exploration geophysical data more and more difficult, and the requirements for exploration geophysical talents have become higher and higher. The "BGP Cup"InternationalUniversity Student Exploration Geophysics Competition aims to exercise and improve the overall quality of students and the ability to comprehensively use professional knowledge of exploration geophysics, and cultivate innovative, applied and international talents suitable for enterprises and social needs. The "BGP Cup"UniversityStudent Exploration Geophysics Competition has been successfully held for eight sessionsin China. The numberof participating teamsandthe level of participants haveimproved over the past years. It has become a brand event in the domestic exploration geophysics field. The competition has improved the students' ability to combine theory and practice, strengthened the exchanges andcooperation between schools, scientific research units and enterprises, and is of great significance to the promotion of the discipline construction and personnel training of exploration geophysics-related majors in various universities. This event has received extensive attention from enterprises, academia and society.During the finals of the 8th Competition, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciencesprof. Zhu Rixiang,General Managerof CNPC Oriental Geophysical Exploration Co., Ltd. Mr. Gou Liang, Executive Director of SEG China prof. Huang Xuriattended the award ceremony.
