super energy power

The gray drill pipe rotates rapidly, making the bone-like derrick look less lonely.

In the purification pool very close to the prefabricated house, streams of muddy water flowed out.

Through the glass of the board room, Sha Mingyan looked at Su Cheng worriedly, and said: "Su Dong, there is no sign of oil and gas yet."

"Can we do stratum testing?" Su Cheng asked expectantly.

"The current situation is meaningless." Sha Mingyan shook his head heavily.Formation testing is also called midway testing, which is to take samples through the drill pipe tester at the end of the drill pipe halfway, so that oil and gas can be found in advance.However, Well 12 does not even have a basic gas layer, and it is impossible to get good feedback from the midway test.

Su Cheng wiped his chin, feeling extremely tricky.

He did not expect that oil well exploration would be so difficult. Well No. 7 failed, Well No. 8 failed, Well No. 9 was abandoned, and Well No. 10 failed... Wells No. 11 and No. 12, which were drilled at the same time, are not optimistic. Judging from the current situation, the probability of oil production is still very low.

In just two months, the cost of six wells exceeded 6 million yuan.Because of Sioux City's policy of "no drop of oil goes into the sea", the environmental management fee was exceeded by nearly one million yuan.

That's it, the fishermen in front of me have come to make trouble, some think he is destroying the fishing ground, some are worried that he is destroying the fishing ground, and some think he is destroying Feng Shui, and so on. In some cases, it is inevitable to use property to make money. send off.

Officials and corporate figures like Factory Director He are just like watching flowers on horseback, starting from their own interests, either engaging in sales, or gaining benefits... Conflicts are just trivial matters.

What really made Sioux City anxious was the absence of oil fields.Not to mention crude oil, even gas has not been seen.This made him wonder whether his memory was correct, and whether there was a certain degree of misunderstanding?

However, nothing can be confirmed until the oil comes out.

In terms of time, two or three months is only the initial stage of exploration.However, because Sioux City is full of confidence and eager for success, the drilling progress of the three exploration teams is very fast, and the drilling depth of each well has been increased... As a result, the cost has skyrocketed.

Thanks to the low cost of drilling wells in China, Sioux City used Shengli Oilfield's own exploration team.If it is still in the Iran-Iraq Middle East region, the six wells will have to cost hundreds of millions of yuan.Even so, with the overall weakening of the domestic economic environment, Shengli Oilfield has extremely strict control over cash flow. Sioux City speculates that Lin Yonggui may not be able to hold back anymore.

Well No. 12 may be the last well he can withstand.

Thinking of this, Su Cheng turned his eyes back and asked, "Lao Sha, the exploration team of Well No. 10, have you cleaned up?"

"It's ready..."

"Let them move faster, go to Well No. 12, and start drilling immediately."

"Really continue to drill? It's a lot of money to move and prepare." Although the names of Chengdao No. 1 and Chengdao No. 10 are used as signs, every exploration well on the land of more than 4000 square kilometers is worth a lot of money. The distance is not close, and there is no road, and transportation is very troublesome.

Su Cheng shook his head and said, "It must be fought down."

Sha Mingyan sighed heavily, and he also knew that the only way out was to continue fighting.

If you continue, as long as the oil comes out, the previous efforts will be rewarded.

If you stop, the previous investment will become a pure loss.A loss of 2000 million yuan?That was something Lin Yonggui didn't even dare to cover up.

Therefore, Sioux City must continue to fight until it can no longer raise a penny of funds.

This may be the biggest kind of gambling in the world. Before the hole cards are revealed, you can only keep betting. The bets will become bigger and bigger, and there is no end in sight... Many people, when they can't see the hole cards Before, he was dragged to death during the continuous betting period.

Even in the Middle East, which has the most dense oil fields in the world, there will be a situation where no oil can be dug out for several years, from one exploration well to 20 exploration wells... If you can't hold on to the day when the oil comes out, no matter how big the oil is underground Tibet is nothing but flowers in the mirror, and there are not a few exploration companies that have gone bankrupt because of this. , Sha Mingyan has been the exploration team leader for so many years, and it is not the first time he has encountered this kind of pressure.Watching the cement being poured down, watching the drill bits being changed one after another, watching the money being spent at the price of water... But, no matter how many times I encounter it, this feeling of sitting on the mountain and emptying the mountain, and the sunrise fighting for gold is still frightening. .

Sha Mingyan admired Su Cheng's persistence, but he couldn't say words of comfort.

"If you don't have a big heart, don't get involved in the oil extraction industry." Su Cheng couldn't help it, so he said this sentence to relieve the pressure, and then kept silent.In his heart, he was thanking the good times.Although Shengli Oilfield has limited costs, after all, it can continue to provide funds for him to continue drilling wells. As a last resort, he can also borrow from the state and banks.If it was replaced by a private mining company, the six oil wells would not produce oil, and it would be more comfortable to jump directly from the building.

"Today I'm going to..."

Su Cheng spoke halfway, and the ground shook violently.

From inside the prefabricated house, a "pop" sound could be heard, like a loud fart on the beach.

Sha Mingyan rushed to the glass at the first time, and saw the mud rising into the sky.

Su Cheng took a step back, and only heard the workers yelling "The well is springing"!

Within a few seconds, there was another cry of "blowout".

Blowout!

Su Cheng's head "buzzed" and he was covered.

The most dreadful safety accident in oil extraction is a blowout.When drilling, the underground pressure is high and the surface pressure is low, so mud is injected into the wellbore to balance the pressure.However, if the downhole density changes, or if the mud density is too low, a blowout will occur.

A large amount of underground poisonous gas is ejected uncontrollably from the wellhead. If there are workers nearby, it is almost a narrow escape.

If there are sparks again, it will cause a fire.

The gray-white mud, like an ugly fountain, knocked the derrick to this side.

Fortunately no flames were seen.

"What do you want!" Su Cheng grabbed Sha Mingyan's arm.He has never dealt with a blowout, so he can only count on Sha Mingyan at this time.

Sha Mingyan was also shocked, clenched his fists, and said: "We need heavy mud, heavy crystal powder, a lot of heavy mud. I'll go out and direct."

"Be careful." Su Cheng only yelled, and started calling.He didn't know how much heavy mud and recrystallized powder the exploration team had prepared, but when the scale of the blowout was unknown, no amount of heavy mud was necessary.

In 1966, the former Soviet Union used a 30-yield nuclear bomb to block oil and gas wells in Uzbekistan.Because of using other methods, all failed.

If the blowout was not too harmful, they would not easily use nuclear weapons.

Wang Jinxi’s Iron Man title also comes from Jing Chung, which was in a state where a blowout was about to occur. He was forced to seal the wellhead with cement and use his body to stir the cement powder that sank to the bottom when he was short of recrystallized powder and without a mixer... Su Cheng picked up the phone and called Wei Kong first.He is the deputy director of the office, and there are tertiary production companies under him, so he can get a lot of recrystallized powder and cement casually.

Instructing Wei Kong not to disclose the news of the "blowout", Su Cheng took out his phone book and called several shipyards and shipping companies along the coast. Due to the relationship with Jinan Power Machinery Factory, he had contact with these units and borrowed their ships. It is easier to transport materials.

Su Cheng didn't want to cover up the news, he just wanted to delay it for a few hours, it would be best if he could stop the blowout.If it doesn't work, once you figure out the situation and countermeasures, there will be fewer attacks.

In just 10 minutes, Su Cheng's forehead was covered with hot sweat, he put down the phone, and rushed out of the board room.

The beach is full of splashed mud and cement, and there is still mud falling from the sky.An exploration team member threw his helmet to him and hurried to the front.

"Are there any casualties?" Su Cheng walked to Sha Mingyan with difficulty.

"What are you doing here!" Sha Mingyan stomped his feet and shouted, "There are only three injured, one with a broken rib and carried to the back, and the other two with bruises."

He pointed twice indiscriminately, and then shouted: "You go back first."

"I want to stay." Su Cheng shook his head stubbornly, and said: "At most two hours, recrystallized powder and cement will be delivered, can you hold on?"

Sha Mingyan didn't answer. A blowout is like a small man-made volcanic eruption. In many cases, it depends on the situation below, not the situation above.

For half a day and a night, no one could close their eyes.

The next morning, Sioux City saw officials from the administration, two department-level cadres, and more than 20 workers who came to help.

Director Tang Yang, the leader, was polite on the surface, but his tone was very blunt: "Su Dong, please go back to the management office first, and we will take over the scene."

"I'll stay." Su Cheng knew that he couldn't go back.If you go back, there is only "responsibility" for the blowout.It is absolutely impossible to take over the exploration work again.

Six wells were drilled, but no oil came out yet. Sioux City was not reconciled to giving up at this time.Moreover, if you think about it with your knees, you know that the successor will not dig wells in Chengdao anymore, and even in the next 6 or 10 years, no one will dig exploration wells in Chengdao.

In that case, not only would the discovery of the Chengdao Oilfield be delayed indefinitely, but the exploration in other areas would be nothing but a fearless waste of money.

With this thought in mind, Sioux City's attitude of staying behind is extremely resolute.

Tang Yang tried a few more words of persuasion, but it didn't work. Director Lan who came with him stood up and said, "Su Dong, we have an order, ordering you to go back to the management bureau for investigation."

"Whose order?"

"It's Secretary Tao's order."

Secretary Tao is the secretary of the Disciplinary Inspection Committee and is also responsible for the safety of the oil field.Su Cheng hesitated for a moment and asked, "Where are the documents?"

Director Lan was stunned for a moment, he thought that everything would be fine if he said the "command", at this moment he couldn't help saying: "It's urgent, it's the password."

Su Cheng let out a sigh of relief, turned his gaze to the suppressed oil well, and said: "The password is not acceptable, I am an independent director of China National Petroleum Corporation, and the two directors want to resign from my position? I want to see the written documents .”

Tang Lan and the two of them couldn't force him, and if you think about it carefully, all the department-level cadres in the building didn't come, but they sent two department-level cadres here without giving written documents, which in itself can explain their attitude .

Chief Lan gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go back and get it."

"Director Tang just go and get it. You and the workers will stay here and prepare to change the guard. Everyone here has to go to the front line."

Tang Yang was obviously more tactful than Chief Lan. Su Cheng believed that with the help of Lin Yonggui, Wei Kong and others, he should be able to delay a little longer.

After forcing Director Lan to stay, he hurriedly found Sha Mingyan again, and said solemnly, "Adjust the muddy water as soon as possible and restore the circulation."

"Continue?" Sha Yanming was taken aback.

"If there is a blowout, it means that there is a gas layer and the water layer is abundant. As long as the blowout is cured, it is not an ordinary oil well." Sioux City has no time to choose the next oil well.He couldn't remember which exploration well produced oil in Chengdao Oilfield, but there were only 15 exploration wells preset in Chengdao Oilfield.Now that Well No. 12 has oil and gas signs, it can only continue drilling.

Sha Yanming did some calculations and said, "Give me two days..."

"Two days and one night, 36 hours, Lao Sha, please." After Su Cheng finished speaking, he turned around and went to the well platform.
