ABSTRACT

The National Oil and Gas Geology Competition, as a pivotal platform for evaluating students' professional practical capabilities and innovative thinking, offers clear guidance for advancing teaching reforms in university-level oil and gas geology courses. This study takes the "Petroleum and Natural Gas Geology Curriculum Design" at Shandong University of Petroleum and Chemical Technology as a case example to analyse prevailing issues in current curriculum design, including disconnection between teaching content and industry demands, misalignment of practical training with competition standards, and over-reliance on singular evaluation metrics. Aligning with competition requirements for competencies in data integration, map compilation, comprehensive analysis, and teamwork, this research proposes a reform strategy of "promoting teaching and learning through competition." Key measures include reconstructing curriculum content to mirror competition modules, innovating scenario-based teaching models, strengthening competition-empowered practice, and implementing multidimensional evaluation systems. The aim is to cultivate high-caliber applied oil and gas geology talents capable of meeting industrial development needs.
