Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 658 Can Niu Xiaoqiang surpass the international energy giant?
Oil extraction machines are also called pumping units. At present, most of the major domestic oil fields use old products with low efficiency. Only a few oil wells use advanced models purchased from abroad.

Xiao Dingbang has worked in the oil field for many years, and he is very familiar with various types of oil extraction machines.Although he was very reluctant, he had to admit that in the field of oil extraction machines, foreigners are indeed better than Chinese people, and the goodness is not a little bit.

Take Halliburton, a world-renowned energy equipment supplier, as an example. The performance of the 051 oil extraction machine manufactured by them has completely surpassed similar domestic products, and its comprehensive strength has more than doubled.

If you want to measure the performance of an oil extraction machine, you mainly look at two aspects, one is the efficiency of oil extraction, and the other is the amount of energy consumption.

Oil recovery efficiency is well understood, referring to how much crude oil can be extracted from the ground per unit time.As for energy consumption, it refers to the amount of electrical energy consumed by the equipment during operation.

The oil extraction machine is driven by electric energy to run the motor, and the energy consumption measurement unit is "ton electricity consumption", that is, the electricity consumption required to produce one ton of oil.

Domestically produced oil extraction machines produce about [-] tons of crude oil per day, and the power consumption per ton exceeds [-] degrees.

Halliburton's 051 oil extraction machine is much superior. This type of oil extraction machine can produce five tons of crude oil per day, but the power consumption is only about 30.00% of that of domestic oil extraction machines.

Xiao Dingbang also participated in the testing work when the Halliburton oil recovery unit was just installed in Jiangbei Oilfield.He was extremely shocked by such performance parameters, and it was at that time that Xiao Dingbang realized how backward the country was in the field of oil extraction machines.

Watching the double-donkey-head oil extraction machine designed by Niu Xiaoqiang swinging up and down at this moment, Xiao Dingbang couldn't help thinking: Can this new type of oil extraction machine designed by Niu Xiaoqiang surpass Halliburton's similar products?
When Niu Xiaoqiang came to Jiangbei Oilfield to develop oil extraction machines, he showed shocking strength, which convinced Xiao Dingbang.However, Xiao Dingbang still has no idea if the oil extraction machine designed by Niu Xiaoqiang can surpass Halliburton.

Anyone who is well-informed these days knows how huge the gap between domestic technology and foreign countries is.It is no exaggeration to say that the domestic technological backwardness is comprehensive, and there is a big gap with developed countries in almost every aspect.The oil extraction machine industry is just a microcosm, but this microcosm has universality-a depressing universality.Especially people like Xiao Dingbang who have experienced it personally feel particularly strongly about it.

He secretly sighed in his heart: No matter how powerful Niu Xiaoqiang is, he is only good at home, and it may not be enough to be seen abroad. The most important thing is that he has never set foot in the field of oil extraction machines. Now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to catch up with an energy equipment supply giant like Halliburton all at once.

The testing process is very boring, and all technicians only need to do one thing, and that is to monitor data.

There are a total of nearly 30 people on site, even if three people are sent to each testing position, there are still surplus manpower.

In this case, Song Zhiyi and Xiao Dingbang don't need to fight in person, they just need to listen to the data reports from various monitoring points.

Although the oil field is a very wealthy unit, the working environment is relatively simple, and some working conditions can even be described as harsh.

Just like the oil extraction workers on the front line, they need to monitor the operation of the oil extraction machine. Once the oil extraction machine breaks down, they must deal with it as soon as possible. Eliminate hidden dangers in liquids.

For the test, Xiao Dingbang specially prepared tables, chairs and benches, in addition to several tents for rest.Such treatment cannot be enjoyed by ordinary oil extraction workers.

Since they didn't need to fight in person, the two leaders Song Zhiyi and Xiao Dingbang simply sat at the table drinking tea and chatting.

The common topic between the two is naturally inseparable from oil extraction machines. Song Zhiyi asked, "Xiao Gong, how many oil extraction machines do you have in Jiangbei Oilfield?"

"About 1000 to [-] units."

"Then based on this number, isn't the annual output of crude oil in Jiangbei Oilfield tens of millions of tons?"

"If all oil extraction machines can operate stably, there is no problem in achieving this output, but this is the most ideal state, which is difficult to achieve under normal circumstances, and there will always be problems with some oil extraction machines."

"Oh, where do you purchase the oil extraction machines in your oil field?"

"There are two main purchasers, one is the domestic Jinnan Petrochemical Machinery Factory, and the other is the overseas Halliburton Company."

"Are you still purchasing from abroad? Is the price expensive?"

"The performance of foreign oil extraction machines is very superior, more than double that of domestic products. In order to complete the production tasks, we need to purchase oil extraction machines with superior performance. As for the price, foreign oil extraction machines are three times more expensive than domestic ones. many."

Song Zhiyi sighed: "So, compared with domestic oil extraction machines, Halliburton's oil extraction machines are actually not very outstanding in terms of cost performance."

Xiao Dingbang shook his head: "You can't say that. Although their equipment is expensive, the quality is very good. I am in maintenance. According to my experience, the failure rate of Halliburton's oil extraction machines is only [-]% of that of domestic oil extraction machines." [-]%, and the service life is greatly extended. Generally speaking, domestic oil extraction machines can only be used for two years at most, and many accessories need to be replaced to ensure this service life. Halliburton’s oil extraction machines can easily be used for more than three years , and there is no need to replace too many accessories, comparing the two, the gap in cost performance is not too big."

Song Zhiyi nodded solemnly, and sighed: "We are still a foreign technology leader, we are far behind others."

Xiao Dingbang put forward a different view on this: "It can't be said that in the field of oil extraction machines, our technology is not that bad. The main difference lies in the material and motor. The material is the main factor affecting the service life of the oil extraction machine. The machine works in the open air in the wild, and the working environment is relatively harsh. It not only has to withstand the wind and rain, but also the test of extreme heat and cold, and it also needs to withstand the corrosion of crude oil. If the material is not up to standard, the service life will naturally be greatly shortened. Domestic There is an obvious gap in this aspect of oil extraction machines, the main reason is that our country is relatively backward in material science, without good materials, of course we cannot make durable products.”
