西南石油大学是新中国创建的第二所石油本科院校，是一所中央与地方共建、以四川省人民政府管理为主的高等学校。

20世纪50年代中后期，我国石油工业相当落后，远远不能满足国家建设的需要，引起党和国家高度关注，毛泽东主席亲临四川隆昌气矿视察，中共中央总书记邓小平亲自主持四川油气田勘探开发。1958年3月，位于南充东观、广安武胜、遂宁大英的三口探井喷出高产油流，震动全国，石油工业部部长余秋里将军坐镇南充，打响了川中石油大会战。为了加快开发四川石油天然气资源，也为西南协作区发展石油天然气工业培养技术干部，国家决定成立第二所石油高校，校址就设在川中石油会战指挥部所在地川北重镇南充市。

1958年8月，石油工业部先期在成都招收643名首届学生，随后委派基建司司长马载同志率领一批年轻专家和干部职工奔赴南充，筹划学院的创建工作。9月20日，石油工业部会同教育部报经国务院同意，正式批准成立四川石油学院。从此，学校伴随着我国石油天然气工业的建设发展，开始了先有学生后建学校的破常规办学实践。

1970年7月，学校经国务院批准更名为西南石油学院。2000年3月，学校划转四川省，由中央与地方共建、以四川省人民政府管理为主。2003年经教育部批准，学校升格为大学，2005年12月正式更名为西南石油大学。2008年11月1日，中国石油天然气集团公司、中国石油化工集团公司、中国海洋石油总公司与四川省人民政府签署共建西南石油大学的协议。

学校1978年开始招收硕士研究生，1986年获得博士学位授予权，1988年油气田开发工程(联合石油机械工程)成为首批国家重点学科，1989年油气藏地质及开发工程国家重点实验室批准建设，1991年设立博士后科研流动站。

经过50多年的建设，学校现已发展成为一所以工为主、多学科协调发展、石油天然气优势突出和特色鲜明的大学，石油主干学科专业在全国处于领先水平。

学校现有16个教学学院、1个新能源和非常规油气研究院、1个工程训练中心。学科专业涵盖理学、工学、管理学、经济学、文学、法学、教育、艺术8个学科门类，本科具有招生资格专业60个(其中2014年本科招生专业52个)，有8个国家特色专业建设点，16个四川省特色专业，1个国家大学生文化素质教育基地和11个四川省本科人才培养基地。有4个一级学科博士学位授权点，24个二级学科博士学位授权点，18个一级学科硕士学位授权点，86个二级学科硕士学位授权点，6种硕士专业学位类别(包括工程硕士授权领域16个、工商管理硕士授权领域1个、翻译硕士授权领域1个、工程管理硕士授权领域1个、法律硕士授权领域1个、社会工作硕士授权领域1个)和8个高校教师在职攻读硕士学位授权学科专业。有4个博士后科研流动站，1个一级学科国家重点学科，3个二级学科国家重点学科，15个省部级重点学科。有国家级教学团队2个，国家级实验教学示范中心2个，国家级虚拟仿真实验教学中心1个，教育部“创新团队发展计划”创新(培育)团队2个，省级教学团队7个，省部级科研创新团队3个。石油与天然气工程一级学科在国家第三轮学科评估中排名全国第二，石油与天然气工程博士后科研流动站在2005年评为“全国优秀博士后科研流动站”。现有全日制在校学生30661人，其中普通本科生22422人，硕士研究生3686人，博士研究生695人，外国留学生11人。另外有在职的工程硕士研究生1561人。

Southwest University of Petroleum is the second petroleum undergraduate university founded in New China. It is a university jointly built by the central and local governments and mainly managed by the people’s Government of Sichuan Province.

In the middle and late 1950s, China’s oil industry was quite backward and could not meet the needs of national construction, which aroused great concern of the party and the state. Chairman Mao Zedong personally inspected Longchang gas mine in Sichuan. Deng Xiaoping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, personally presided over the exploration and development of oil and gas fields in Sichuan. In March 1958, three exploration wells located in Dongguan, Guang’an Wusheng and Suining Daying in Nanchong spewed out high-yield oil flow, which shook the whole country. General Yu Qiuli, Minister of Petroleum Industry, sat in Nanchong and started the oil battle in central Sichuan. In order to speed up the development of oil and gas resources in Sichuan and train technical cadres for the development of the oil and gas industry in the Southwest Cooperation area, the state decided to set up a second petroleum university, which is located in Nanchong, an important town in northern Sichuan where the Central Sichuan Petroleum Battle headquarters is located.

In August 1958, the Ministry of Petroleum Industry recruited 643 first-year students in Chengdu, and then appointed Comrade Ma Zai, director of the Capital Construction Department, to lead a group of young experts, cadres and workers to Nanchong to plan the establishment of the college. On September 20, the Ministry of Petroleum Industry and the Ministry of Education formally approved the establishment of Sichuan Petroleum Institute with the approval of the State Council. Since then, with the construction and development of China’s oil and gas industry, the school has begun the practice of building a school after having students.

In July 1970, the school was renamed Southwest Petroleum Institute with the approval of the State Council. In March 2000, the school was transferred to Sichuan Province, which was jointly built by the central and local governments and mainly managed by the Sichuan Provincial people’s Government. Approved by the Ministry of Education in 2003, the school was upgraded to a university and officially changed its name to Southwest University of Petroleum in December 2005. On November 1, 2008, China National Petroleum Corporation, China Petrochemical Corporation and China National Offshore Oil Corporation signed an agreement with the people’s Government of Sichuan Province to jointly build Southwest University of Petroleum.

The school began to enroll postgraduates in 1978 and won the right to grant doctoral degrees in 1986. In 1988, oil and gas field development engineering (joint petroleum mechanical engineering) became the first national key disciplines. In 1989, the state key laboratory of reservoir geology and development engineering was approved for construction. In 1991, a postdoctoral research mobile station was established.

After more than 50 years of construction, the school has developed into a university with engineering-based, multi-disciplinary coordinated development, outstanding oil and gas advantages and distinctive features, and the petroleum backbone discipline is in the leading level in the country.

The school has 16 teaching colleges, a new energy and unconventional oil and gas research institute, and an engineering training center. Disciplines cover science, engineering, management, economics, literature, law, education, art 8 disciplines, undergraduate enrollment qualifications 60 (including 52 undergraduate enrollment majors in 2014), there are 8 national specialty construction sites, 16 Sichuan characteristic majors, 1 national cultural quality education base for college students and 11 Sichuan undergraduate talent training bases. There are 4 first-tier discipline doctorate authorization points, 24 second-tier discipline doctorate authorization points, 18 first-tier discipline master degree authorization points and 86 second-tier discipline master degree authorization points. There are 6 kinds of master’s professional degrees (including 16 authorized fields of engineering master, 1 authorized field of MBA, 1 authorized field of master of translation, 1 authorized field of master of engineering management, 1 authorized field of law master, 1 authorized field of master of social work) and 8 university teachers in-service study for master’s degree authorization. There are 4 postdoctoral research stations, 1 national key discipline of first-level discipline, 3 national key disciplines of second-level discipline, and 15 provincial and ministerial key disciplines. There are 2 national teaching teams, 2 national experimental teaching demonstration centers, 1 national virtual simulation experimental teaching center, 2 innovative (nurturing) teams in the Innovation team Development Plan of the Ministry of Education, 7 provincial teaching teams, and 3 provincial and ministerial scientific research and innovation teams. The first-tier discipline of oil and gas engineering ranks second in the country in the third round of national discipline evaluation, and the oil and gas engineering postdoctoral research flow station was awarded as “National excellent postdoctoral Research flow Station” in 2005. At present, there are 30661 full-time students, including 22422 ordinary undergraduates, 3686 postgraduates, 3686 doctoral students and 11 foreign students. In addition, there are 1561 in-service engineering postgraduates.
