<p>In recent years, the domestic geological prospecting field attaches great importance to and promotes green exploration work, and strengthening the research on green exploration technology and methods is the target requirement for the healthy and sustainable development of geological prospecting work in the field of oil and gas. In this paper, green drilling work carried out in typical geological landscape areas of northwest China is studied, drilling equipment is selected scientifically according to local conditions, and drilling engineering technology and methods are studied, including implementing drilling methods of “multi-holes from one position” and “drilling instead of trenching”, innovating drilling technology, optimizing coring bit and applying environment-friendly flushing fluid, etc., site control and protection are strengthened during construction, environmental recovery and treatment are implemented after construction, production guarantee measures for green drilling construction are explored, effectively reducing the intensity of environmental damage caused by engineering activities and the cost of environmental recovery and treatment, Drilling work has achieved the goal of improving quality and increasing efficiency, and achieved a win-win situation in economic benefits and environmental protection.</p>
