Chapter 110 Polymer flooding

The oil bosses and coal bosses in the 80s were both in the primitive accumulation stage of capital, so they inevitably had the mentality of getting rich if they were small.A few years later, some of them may have accumulated hundreds of millions of property, and thus have the idea of ​​doing something.

However, when there are only hundreds of thousands or millions, few people can make up their minds to invest money in invisible technical fields.

Since the tertiary oil recovery technology has not been used by the country's large oil fields, even if everyone knows this technology, they will not take the initiative to introduce it, and investment in development is even more impossible.

What everyone considers is how much you can earn without spending money, or spending less money.

In the eyes of the bosses, it is a good thing to exchange four or six 0.5-ton ultra-low-grade oil wells for one 2-ton or 3-ton low-grade oil well.

Several oil bosses who didn’t spend the money were even more willing to pay directly for the purchase, or add money to replace the well.

Fatty remembered Su Cheng's words, and did not agree to any of these bosses' requests.

At today's auction, the price per ton of oil well production was as low as 2 yuan, and it wouldn't sound good if they opened it to 4 yuan.However, as long as today is over, it is not surprising that a ton of oil wells can sell for 10 yuan or more.

An oil well with a daily output of 3 tons can earn more than 40 yuan a year, so it is normal for its price to be as high as 50 or even [-].

Because of this, Xiaopang firmly implements the policy of "only exchange, not sell". When the quality of the other party's oil wells is extremely low, he has to replenish one or two more wells to exceed his own average production before giving up.

Even so, oil bosses are willing to change.Many people even took out their previous oil wells.

When Xiaopang came back from a circle, the 175 oil wells became 2.

Here, there are many high-yield wells.

After signing a bunch of contracts for a whole day, Sioux City was exhausted.

Xiaopang also added more than 30 oil wells to his name. He was so happy that he walked around Su Cheng and asked him: "Master, can you fill up the holes if you replace these ultra-low-grade wells?"

Su Cheng said: "Could it be that there is only one way to deal with oil wells?"

Xiaopang touched his head and said, "I also think, if you want to mend holes, you shouldn't buy all these oil wells."

"Then you think, is there any way to make these oil wells worth more than the oil wells we replaced?" Su Cheng became his master, so he got used to mentioning chubby.Being an oil boss is very promising, especially when there are people behind him. It is comfortable and easy to pay. You don’t have to worry about landslides and death like a coal boss, and you don’t have the mess of the mining and coal industry. If Xiaopang is willing to keep doing it, when It's okay to be a millionaire.

Xiaopang rubbed his temples with his hands, thinking: "Master must have a way to increase the production of these oil wells?"

"In what way?"

Xiaopang thought for a long time, then acted like he had suddenly realized, and said, "I don't know."

Su Cheng smiled and said, "We should find a way to carry out tertiary oil recovery."

Inside a reservoir, not all is liquid.

It has a large amount of oil and natural gas of different types. The oil and natural gas in Daqing Oilfield is the best type, which can be used to directly process fertilizers.

Under the gas is the familiar crude oil.

The recovery rate of crude oil ejected by natural energy, such as the self-flowing well in Sioux City, is only 5% to 10%, which is called primary oil recovery.It is like a nocturnal emission, only a gas reservoir can spray itself.

After self-spraying, the reservoir enters the stage of secondary oil recovery.Some mechanical movement and water injection and air injection are needed to replace the liquid inside.Through this method, 30% to 40% of the crude oil in the reservoir can be obtained.

However, another 60% to 70% of the oil remains in the ground.Most of them are asphalt-like petroleum, viscous and almost solidified, and cannot be dug out by ordinary methods.Since the 50s, oilfield developers have used physical, chemical and biological methods for tertiary oil recovery.It's like taking medicine. Different people need to take different kinds of medicine, just like different oil reservoirs need to use different treatment methods. In order to invent these treatment methods, the oil industry has worked hard and innovated for 60 years, and finally there is Various tertiary oil recovery methods such as "polymer flooding", "Viagra", and "steam flooding" have been developed.

China has also carried out a certain amount of experiments, but it is still several years away from promotion.

Su Cheng is somewhat familiar with this.In his view, it is very convenient whether it is introducing technology from abroad or transforming existing Chinese technology.

When he was in school, tertiary oil recovery technology was a very hot technology, and various papers were emerging one after another.Su Cheng thought to himself: As long as we get some ready-made technology, and then carry out key transformations, it is still very easy to produce effective tertiary oil recovery.

Fatty knows a little bit about tertiary oil recovery, and also knows that the technical difficulties involved are very difficult, but out of admiration for Master, he unconditionally agrees: "Then we will use tertiary oil recovery."

His tone was a bit like "Let's eat Peking duck tonight".

Su Cheng nodded in satisfaction, he didn't think how difficult EOR could be.If he was allowed to do it from scratch, it might take several years to get a set of the most basic steam flooding technology, but if he used the existing technology to transform, it would only cost a lot of money.

Like Halliburton, there are a few related technologies at hand.

Back at the factory, Sioux City first asked people to check the data of the tertiary oil recovery to see the specific development situation at home and abroad, and spread out a piece of paper to calculate which method was more suitable.

As I was thinking, the phone rang.

"where?"

"I'm Xiao Liu, the office of the Oil Field Headquarters. Secretary Lin invites you to come in the afternoon, and the time is around 3 o'clock in the afternoon."

"Okay. Thank you, Mi Liu." Su Cheng looked at the watch on his wrist, it was already past one o'clock again.

He quickly jotted down a few key points, went around the workshop, and then went to the oil field headquarters.

In 88, Dong*ying had already taken a modern prototype. Although the buildings were low and the roads were dusty, the speeding cars and the attire of pedestrians had changed greatly from last year.

The happiest thing for people is not how much they have, but how much they have increased.

The 80s was undoubtedly the happiest era for Chinese people.This is incomparable in the following years.

Su Cheng's speed was extremely slow, and out of the corner of his eyes, clumps of red and yellow skirts flashed past.

Spring is coming.

The Japanese drama "Blood Doubt" in the early 80s made Sachiko's shirts all over the streets, and the mid-term movie "Girl in Red" made the spring red skirts dominate the streets, and then the yellow skirts of "China Textile News" in 86 allowed women to dress in red and yellow. .

For some reason, a series of movie lines flashed in Su Cheng's mind: You thought you chose this color...it's not so...

Bright red and yellow are dyes that are easy to make, just like the Eighth Route Army in the revolutionary era. The reason why they chose gray uniforms was neither because of their good looks, nor because of camouflage, but because of the easy availability of dyes.

Modern chemical industry is closely related to everyone.

Su Cheng slightly stepped on the gas pedal, thinking: At least I have worked for the welfare of Chinese men, at least I have worked for the welfare of Chinese women!

When I arrived at Lin Yonggui's office, I saw the leader of the oil production plant who had come earlier, wearing a double-breasted suit and a bunch of keys hanging on his trousers.

Su Cheng sighed, and sat on the waiting sofa, not looking sideways.

This time, of course, there will be no good deeds of humility.

It was around 3 o'clock when it was Sioux Cheng's turn to go in. When he sat down, he thought: Being an official is really hard, talking non-stop, 8 hours a day is probably not enough.No wonder officials in ancient times had to study literature, and the consequences of saying wrong words were much greater than those of doing wrong things.

The secretary made a cup of tea, then backed out.

Lin Yonggui raised his head, and seeing that it was Su Cheng, he smiled and said, "Did you have fun yesterday?"

"Happy." Su Cheng smiled and said, "Thank you, leader."

This sentence is enough.If it weren't for Lin Yonggui behind him, he wouldn't dare to buy more than half of the oil wells in one go.The auction designed by Bo Rong didn't get as many benefits as Su Cheng. It's not surprising that Bo Rong was angry because of this.

Seeing that he understood, Lin Yonggui waved his hands with a smile and said, "I called you here mainly because I heard that you replaced a good oil well with a low-yield oil well. What's going on?"

"I think real estate oil wells are more valuable if it's equivalent to exchange." Sioux City didn't hide anything, and said directly: "I'm going to trial-manufacture tertiary oil recovery equipment."

"EOR? Are you confident?"

"It can be done anyway, but it's just a matter of how much it costs. I plan to use steam flooding from Yumen Oilfield or Dagang Oilfield. Relatively mature technology, with a little improvement, the effect should be good."

"Steam drive."

Su Cheng heard his tone and asked, "Is the oil field interested in tertiary oil recovery?"

"Of course, the Oil Production Research Institute has been working on it for several years, mainly engaged in polymer flooding, which has no effect." Lin Yonggui lit a cigarette and said: "Steam flooding already exists, but it is not suitable for our Shengli Oilfield. The effect is relatively generally."

Polymer flooding is the use of chemical polymers to soften heavy oil and extract it. Sioux City knows that it will take four or five years for them to achieve results.

He thought about it and said, "Secretary Lin, I expect that the technology of steam flooding will be available soon, and it will be used in low-yield oil fields. It will be no problem to make money back. Polymer flooding, is polyacrylamide used? This estimated time Should it be longer? If the oil field is interested, I can share it with the oil field when I finish it."

Lin Yonggui heard what he meant and asked, "How long do you estimate?"

"Polyacrylamide has existed for a long time, so we only need to solve the dispersion and dissolution device." Su Cheng said while calculating: "About two years should be enough."

"What if I give you better conditions? For example, research on the basis of the existing oil field, and secondment of personnel and equipment from the oil field?"

"There are enough resources, maybe a year. However, I am more inclined to do my own research, so that I can get a patent. Dahua Industrial's current research strength is quite good." Su Cheng is just bargaining, as long as there is a chance, he Still willing to speed up the research.

Lin Yonggui didn't care much about the ownership of the patent, and said directly: "The patent belongs to you, and the oil field can use it for free. If you can develop the technology of polymer flooding in one year, the personnel and equipment currently doing research in this field in the oil field will not be as good as it is." There are technical materials, all for your use."

After a pause, Lin Yonggui said again: "This is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. Our country's oil resources are not abundant, and heavy oil resources are even more important. As long as the recovery rate is increased by 10%, the Shengli Oilfield will be more With the output of 300 million tons of oil, the Da*qing, Changqing and other oil fields will add up to tens of millions of tons of oil, which will have a profound impact on the national economy and national defense..."

Su Cheng nodded naturally, and said: "Whether there is help from the oil field or not, I will definitely invest in the manufacture of polymer flooding equipment. If the oil field wants to join, I have full rights, otherwise I would rather not."

He is not going to take a purely technical route, and if he designs it blindly, he will not be able to complete it in a year.

Lin Yonggui nodded slowly.
