Druid's Country Retirement

Faced with this kind of loose formation, drilling is most afraid of collapse and burial. This is a malicious drilling accident. Such accidents can easily cause the drilling to be scrapped, and even the hot spring well will be scrapped.

After this job, the exploration team not only lost the drill bits, but also the materials and engineering expenses.

Moreover, it was Zhou Dasheng who took on the private work alone, so he had to pay for the losses himself.

He also said that even if he made a little money, he would lose even his pants.

Zhou Dasheng now has a dull pain in the roots of his teeth.

The exploration was really careless at the beginning, thinking that the depth of the hot spring well was not very deep, only more than 600 meters, and the various comparison data were normal.

There was no in-depth understanding of whether there were abnormally high (low) pressure formations or easily fractured formations, and drilling plans were simply made based on the situation, and no preventive measures were taken.

Unexpectedly, when it was about to break through, the drill bit hit some hard and brittle strata in the Neoproterozoic system, causing collapse, causing pressure imbalance in the well and causing instability in the well wall.

I heard Li Hongbing ask about the solution.

Zhou Dasheng showed a bitter smile, shook his head and said, "Because the collapse will cause hot water in the formation to flow into the well, diluting the drilling fluid, the pressure in the wellbore will drop, causing the well wall to be unstable."

"Then what should we do now? We can't ignore it!" Li Hongbing felt that one bad thing had happened one after another in the past two days.

First, he was deafened by an acupuncture, and then there was an accident while drilling.

It's really unlucky for people to have cold water and their teeth will be clogged.

Zhou Dasheng tried his best to explain to Li Hongbing in easy-to-understand terms.

“In the early stages of collapsed underground drilling, circulation should be established as soon as possible, and attempts should be made to move the drilling tools to circulate the collapsed material and restore the borehole opening.

“After a geothermal well collapses and is buried, small pump volume circulation must be used, and experienced drilling personnel must be arranged to continuously move, unhook and lift the drilling tools.”

“The collapse was then dealt with by formulating a drilling fluid with a weighting agent and cutting the borehole from the collapse location to the bottom of the well.”

What Zhou Dasheng said was too complicated and mixed with a lot of professional terms. Li Hongbing could barely understand 50% of it, and the rest could only be guessed at.

"Then let's get started. You don't have to worry about the cost. I hope it can be completed as soon as possible, because it will snow in the mountains soon, and you don't want to work on it in a snowy day!"

Zhou Dasheng was so happy that the wrongdoer was willing to bear the cost of the accident, and he quickly agreed.

"No problem. The underground pipes are made of nickel-titanium alloy pipes, which can resist mild formation collapse movements."

After saying that, he started to greet the team members back to Bailongtan.

"Boss, my eyebrows were twitching when I woke up today. Is something going to happen?"

"I feel uncomfortable inside, and I feel like something is about to happen."

"Why don't we rest today and start working again tomorrow."

Faced with various reasons from the team members, Zhou Dasheng didn't know that today was not a good day to start work.

As a geological prospector, I have heard all kinds of strange things from my predecessors, and I have also encountered evil things myself.

But I can't do this job today. If Village Chief Li goes back on his word, he and his team members will have to pay a lot of money, and they may lose their jobs.

"Brothers, this is just a small accident. It's not like we haven't encountered it before. Finish it as soon as possible and get the money as soon as possible. I'll only take 30% from the head office for this job!"

In total, the exploration team will earn at least 30 yuan for this hot spring well project.

According to the rules, the person who takes the order gets half, but now Boss Zhou only gets 30%, so everyone else can get tens of thousands more.

The team members' eyes intertwined and gradually became brighter.

As the saying goes, money is the courage of a hero, as long as he can afford it.

Everything is easy to handle.

"If it's dry, it will collapse. The collapse last time was even worse than this one. If you don't take it down anyway."

"That's right, everyone will be fine if you just be careful."

"Let's go, finish the job early and get the money early."

The exploration team members returned to Bailongtan to resume construction, and the ground was saved, so landslides did not continue to occur.

After the drill bit was lifted out of the shaft, the team members cheered.

Refill drilling fluid into the well.

Place the drill bit into the shaft.

A team member stared closely at the instrument screen and informed the operator to keep moving the drill tool.

"The last five meters, start drilling!!"

The rumble sounded again, and everyone stared closely at the drilling machine.

As the drill bit continues to penetrate deeper, mud and water spurt out in an instant.

This is because the groundwater will be under the pressure of the ground soil layer, and when the wellhead is drilled out, it will only be subject to air pressure, becoming the area where the surrounding groundwater is least stressed. The surrounding water will flow to the wellhead due to the pressure.

"It's connected and the data is normal. Now raise the drilling tool and I want to measure the flow rate." The exploration team member monitoring the instrument shouted loudly.

The team member operating the drilling machine said that he had received the message and controlled the machine to slowly lift the drill pipe. Every time it lifted, the drill pipe was immediately disassembled and reconnected.

As the drill pipe was lifted one by one, the gushing mud became higher and larger, causing Li Hongbing and the idle people watching to retreat again and again.

When the last section of drill pipe leaves the well with the drill bit.

boom!

There was a muffled sound, and instantly the water column shot into the sky, tens of meters high, and made a whirring sound. The water mist shot into the sky for tens of meters, and then slowly dissipated.

Everyone opened their mouths wide and looked up at the spectacular scene in front of them.

Especially the geological exploration team members, even they did not expect that such a small shallow hot spring well could have such great pressure underground.

As time goes by, the water column gradually decreases, indicating that the underground pressure is reducing.

Captain Zhou waved his hand, "Prepare to install pressure gauges, automatic emission reduction valves, valves, and insert the prepared drainage pipe into the well."

The team members smiled and carried the valve equipment, walked towards the water column, and dug a lot of wells. They were already familiar with this operation.

Once the valve is installed, the job is complete and you can wait to collect the money.

Just as it approaches the water column.

Suddenly, a low roar began to emit from the ground.

"No, stratigraphic disturbance, come back quickly!" The team members monitoring the equipment found that the wireless ground penetrating radar they carried emitted a special alarm sound, and quickly shouted to their teammates.

Unfortunately, the shouts were drowned out by the whirring water jets.

The crews moving the equipment were unaware of the impending disaster.

Immediately afterwards, a loud noise sounded, boom!

The mountain walls around Bailongtan shook violently, and the drilling machine also shook and tilted in front of everyone's horrified eyes.

At the same time the ground began to collapse.

Large pieces of soil and stones slid down rapidly, forming a huge hole in the ground instantly. The drilling machine, which was more than ten meters high, crashed into the pit. The team members screamed in horror and tried to escape from this dangerous area.

But everything happened too fast, and some of them were buried by the collapsing soil and could not escape.

Ruined! !

Zhou Dasheng looked at the drilling machine disappearing in the mist, and his head went blank for a moment.

Li Hongbing froze on the spot, unable to believe what he saw.

Instead of just digging a hot spring well, the Bailong Pond was destroyed and people were buried.

React immediately in the next moment.

He grabbed the frightened Li Hongqi by the collar and said, "Hurry to the front yard and ask Sun Qiang to bring someone over to rescue him."

After saying that, he turned around and ran towards the giant pit.

I jumped into the bottom of the pit. The Bailongtan, which was originally only one meter deep and more than ten square meters, collapsed. The surrounding mountains collapsed and turned into a large pit the size of a basketball court. It was at least ten meters deep. Looking around, there were everywhere. Large pieces of gravel. The collapsed stone wall revealed a hole more than two meters high, and water poured into the pit, quickly filling the bottom of the pit.

Li Hongbing can't control that much.

He activated a perception that he hadn't used in a long time, and his mind instantly captured the nearby terrain 200 meters away.

As long as there is living life there will be perception.

Remember, there should have been four exploration team members carrying equipment.

Li Hongbing sensed that there were signs of life on the edge of the pit. He quickly ran over and moved the rocks away like crazy.

Li Hongqi, who was still in shock, ran to the front yard and grabbed Sun Qiang. He was so nervous that he couldn't speak for a long time.

"Hongqi, what's going on? I heard a bang. Did the hot spring well be dug? I'll send someone over to take over immediately!"

Sun Qiang also heard the rumbling sound. As a top geology student among the contractors, he knew it was a pressure surge after the well was opened, so he didn't take it seriously.

Li Hongqi was so excited that he raised his hand and slapped his face hard several times, which startled Sun Qiang. He slapped himself hard and was about to speak.

But I heard Li Hongqi say something shocking.

"The Bailong Pond in the backyard collapsed and many people were buried. Brother Red Soldier asked you to go over and save them!"

What! ! !

Bailongtan collapsed and people were buried.

Sun Qiang was naturally aware of the power of the landslide, so he turned around and shouted to the workers without thinking too much.

"Stop working and get your tools quickly. Someone is buried in the backyard!"

The workers were stunned for a moment, then immediately picked up their tools and followed Sun Qiang towards the backyard.

"What's going on outside, so noisy?" Fang Wanda was lying on the bed, happily drinking the boiled licorice water fed by Sun Lianqian herself.

"Take the medicine well, you are a patient now." Sun Lianqian held the spoon and gave her a beautiful look.

Xiao Wuzi felt something happened and let go of Fang Wanda's wrist, "I'll go out and take a look."

Leave the guest room.

Xiao Wuzi stopped a worker who was running to the backyard with sweating profusely, "What's going on in the backyard?"

"I heard that the mountain collapsed and many people were buried." The workers didn't know, but that was the message.

When Xiaowuzi heard this, he quickly followed the workers to the backyard.

He was not worried about burying people, but worried about the herbs that Master planted in the mountain col. With so many people running to the mountain col, if one of them was stepped on, Master would definitely feel distressed.

Sun Qiang ran to the hill in the backyard, his pupils suddenly dilated.

I have been to Bailongtan before and even soaked in hot springs, but now there is no sign of Bailongtan.

The mountain that the waterfall originally passed through no longer exists. Three sides of the mountain collapsed at the same time, exposing vertical cliffs that looked like knife cuts, and Bailong Pond turned into a huge deep pit.

Li Hongbing, Ouyang Hua, Xiucai, Jianjun, Shengli, Zhou Dasheng and several exploration team members were covered in mud at the bottom of the pit, carrying gravel.

"Doctor Li, I brought the workers!"

Sun Qiang stood by the pit and shouted loudly.

"How many times can you call, the red soldiers can't hear it, come down quickly, we found the person!!!" Ouyang Hua hugged a stone and responded speechlessly.

Oh oh oh! !

Sun Qiang reacted and quickly jumped into the pit with the workers. The water was flowing and he grabbed Zhou Dasheng, "Where are your people buried?"

Zhou Dasheng pointed to the place where Li Hongbing was digging the rocks, crying, "Village Chief Li said it's down there. If we don't rescue them, they will all drown."

This is still the high-spirited Zhou Dasheng who stole his girlfriend! !

Sun Qiang pushed Zhou Dasheng away, "Go away, cry like a bitch, and let my people come. Old Qian, take the electricity, use the impact drill, and bring the breaker. The others are following me." "

After that, he led the workers to the burial place.

In terms of exploration technology, he is not as good as those skilled workers, but in terms of strength, none of the workers he brings are vague.

Shovels, pickaxes, steel drills, and various other tools are on the battlefield.

Large rocks were dug out.

Li Hongbing had been using his senses under the stone, and could only pick out the exploration team members whose vitality was constantly declining. He was irritable and took over the baton from the workers.

"People are over here, move this rock away!!!"

The workers looked at Village Chief Li, who looked like a mud monkey, and murmured in their hearts, "How do you know that people are buried in such a big pit?"

But the muttering continued, and the movements of his hands did not stop.

A stone weighing more than 1,000 kilograms was tied up with hemp rope, and more than 20 people slowly pulled the stone away while shouting slogans.

A small patch of yellow clothing emerged from the soil.

There are real people! ! !

While the workers were in shock, Li Hongbing rolled and crawled and pulled away the soil, revealing a young and pale face.

"Quick, come and save people!"

The workers rushed forward and dug the exploration team member out of the soil with all their hands. They found that the team member's legs were twisted.

Li Hongbing didn't think too much and took the pulse of his team members.

"Xiao Jiang, Xiao Jiang, wake up!!" Zhou Dasheng heard the team members digging out and rushed over. When he saw the team members' faces, he shouted anxiously.

After a while, Li Hongbing let go of the team member's wrist.

He took out the needle box from his pocket, untied the team member's clothes, and quickly inserted it into the acupuncture points without caring about disinfection.

"Hurry up and take it to the infirmary. Let Xiao Wuzi cook Zhixue Powder, Feilong Duoming Decoction, Fuyuhuoxue Decoction, Shufengliqi Decoction, Jiegu Powder, and fry the ginseng and ginseng with strong fire."

"Let Lian Qian use acupuncture to stop the bleeding. First, use nine needles to restore Yang, and then use Da Zhoutian acupuncture. Go quickly!!"

"I'm coming! Xiucai, Jianjun, and Shengli help me!" Hongqi also knew that the situation was urgent and was afraid that the workers would remember the wrong name of the medicine, so he quickly took over the task of transporting the team members.

The first rescued team member leaves.

Li Hongbing breathed a sigh of relief and pointed to a place four meters away from the newly dug team members.

"The three remaining people are here, dig in quickly!"

The workers now believed in Li Hongbing as a god, so they picked up their tools and started digging at that place.

Dig out the top layer of gravel and soil.

A worker raised a pickaxe and smashed it down hard. There was a clang sound, sparks flashed from the tip of the pickaxe, and the force of the shock caused the worker's arms to lose consciousness instantly.

The workers nearby quickly told others not to move, and pulled away the soil, revealing a huge stone, seven or eight meters long, four or five meters wide, like a door panel, and weighing several hundred tons.

The tip of the pick left a shallow dent in it.

"It's a special kind of blue diamond, it's too big to dig."

"Go away, why can't I dig out the diamond? Gan!!"

Sun Qiang stumbled out with a ferocious look on his face, carrying an oil pick and breaker.

Start the engine, let it warm up and wait for speed, and put the pickaxe as thick as a child's arm against the blue diamond.

Da da da! ! !

The pickaxe tip hit the surface of the stone quickly, and a crack slowly appeared on the surface of the stone.

At this time, the water pouring out of the cave had already reached his calves.

Sun Qiang took the time to turn around and curse at the workers behind him.

"Don't just stand there stupidly. If you have a hammer drill, use a hammer drill. If you don't have a hammer drill, use a pickaxe. Get moving!!"
