This discipline is originated and developed from the major of Oil Field Equipment in Jianghan Petroleum University, which started to recruit students in 1979. Master program “Mechanical Design and Theory” was authorized in 1993, and “Mechanical Engineering” was deemed as the master program in the first-level discipline in 2011. In addition, “Oil Field Equipment” was deemed as the doctoral degree program in the second-discipline. This discipline, as one of key (characteristic) disciplines in Hubei Province and one of post disciplines of "100 people plan" and "Chutian scholar", has 10 provincial and ministerial level discipline platforms, such as the “Hubei Oil and Gas Drilling and Completion Tool Engineering Technology Research Center”. And there is a national first-class undergraduate specialty construction site. Moreover, a reasonably structured discipline team has been formed, which represented by 6 provincial-level scientific research and teaching teams, including "Modern Design Technology and Method of Petroleum Machinery", 2 "100 people plan" Distinguished experts, 4 “Chutian scholars”, 2 "Industry Professors" and 20 professors.

Based on the petroleum industry, this discipline has formed four main disciplines, including modern drilling and production equipment and design theory. There are two aspects which have already achieved domestic and international advanced scientific research achievements, that is, research on equipment such as oil and gas drilling equipment, oil and gas development solid control fracturing equipment and marine modular drilling and repairing rigs, as well as research on technical methods such as large spiral surface milling methods, self-reinforcement methods for high pressure components, and fatigue life assessment of oil and gas pipe strings. “Super high pressure high-power fracturing of oil and gas development and clustered application unit” got Second Prize of Science & Technology Development of Hubei province in 2015. And the research of "research and development and industrialization of oil and gas drilling and completion tools" won the outstanding project award of scientific and technological achievements transformation of Hubei universities in the 12th Five -Year Plan. This discipline is an important highland of China's petroleum machinery research. It has the earliest and only turbodrill design and development and test base in China. Relying on this base, more than 20 scientific and technological awards including the first prize of national science and technology progress have been achieved. Over the past 40 years, 5 national science and technology awards, 6 provincial and ministerial special prizes and first prizes for scientific and technological progress, and 33 scientific and technological achievements awards at the provincial and ministerial level or above have been achieved. This discipline serves the major needs of national energy development and promotes the technological progress of the oil and gas equipment industry. Some of the scientific research achievements have been applied in "Offshore Oil 981 Platform" and the "Fuling National Shale Gas Demonstration Area".

This discipline is closely combined with the national energy development needs, facing the oil industry, centering on the theory and practice of modern mechanical design and manufacturing, and based on the cultivation of high-level research talents and future leaders with "craftsman spirit" and engineering moral consciousness, all-round development of morality, intelligence, sports, beauty and labor, good innovation spirit and scientific research ethics. The discipline has always adhered to the "five ideological and political education, three-dimensional education ", and has cultivated more than 8000 graduates represented by Zhao Chuanyu, the first national moral model, the national three good student pacesetter, and Sun Qiaolei, the national master of engineering practice outstanding achievement winner. In the past 5 years,  82 core journals and retrieved papers including “Acta Petroleum Sinica” have been published and 120 awards in provincial and ministerial level discipline competitions, including 52 awards in China graduate innovation and Practice Series competitions have been won by our master candidates.

The quality of graduate students in this discipline has been continuously improved for the past few years, and the graduates from “double first-class” universities such as Hohai University and Southwest Petroleum University have been enrolled.

In recent years, the discipline has carried out cooperative research with Harvard University, University of Houston, Mississippi State University, University of Calgary in Canada and other universities, and published achievements including highly cited papers of ESI, which has certain influence at home and abroad.
