In “12th Five-year Plan” period, Henan Engineering Research Center of Deep Exploration positively launched a series of innovation activities according to the characteristics of professional subject and the new situation of environmental resources, closely combining with the production practice and centering on the thoughts and principle of “strengthen the ability of science and technology innovation and serve the economic and social development”. Based on the formation characteristics, the combination was conducted on air hammer, air-lift reverse circulation, downhole screw motor, oil drilling, hydro hammer and wire-line coring to realize multi-process drilling technology. Remarkable achievements have been made in the fields of national emergency drought relief, geothermal energy exploration, complex formation drilling technology and drilling technology standardization. According to the environmental situation and new normal geological work and using wide geological thought, a new concept of livelihood geology (industrial geology, agricultural geology, disaster geology, medical geology, new energy geology, etc.) and new ideas of “13th Five-year” drilling work are put forward in this paper.
