Chapter 600 Continue to Drill Down

When drilling No. 503 reached a depth of 40 meters, Sioux City and other Dahua people became more focused. Gu Haijian, who was in charge of technical issues, and several other researchers from the Offshore Petroleum Research Institute even looked at the person in the cabin from time to time. Telephone.

If oil blooms or other signs of possible oil production are seen, the drilling team leader on the drilling platform will apply for an oil test by phone. If the oil test is successful, it means that the oil well is producing oil. If the oil test fails, the only choice is to continue drilling or give up.Since on-site judgments are often highly accurate, when the phone rings at this time, there is a great chance of seeing crude oil.

In Dahua Industrial, the level of grassroots cadres is much higher than that of state-owned enterprises, at least reaching the same level as foreign technology companies.On the one hand, this is because of the strong experience of on-site work, which is conducive to the accumulation and progress of domestic workers with weak foundations. From this, many unsatisfactory technical talents can be recruited and poached.

Correspondingly, the level of grassroots cadres in state-owned enterprises is generally uneven. This is not a problem of talent introduction, but a problem of talent utilization.Even if there are some smart and excellent grassroots cadres, because their salary is linked to their rank, these outstanding grassroots cadres will be promoted to the management at a very fast speed when the promotion mechanism is smooth, thus leaving the grassroots work and getting the same Compensation that matches talent and hard work.In the case of a poor promotion mechanism, excellent grassroots cadres cannot be promoted, and the benefits are naturally not good. It is okay for one or two years. After a long time, resentment will inevitably arise, which will affect work.

In Dahua Industrial, the drilling captain is rated as an important position of category A, and the supervisor of the drilling platform is an important position of category A+. Contribution list" in the middle position.It means that the bonus level is more than that of ordinary director and deputy director level management.In this way, the integrity of the grassroots can be guaranteed, and grassroots cadres will not blindly pursue promotion to the management.Although the latter has more room for advancement, the job requirements are different. If they cannot adapt, not only will it be difficult to be promoted, but they may fall off the "special contribution list".For Dahua employees, can they be on the list?The income gap is at least double, and the income in the middle of the list is more than five times the salary of ordinary employees. It couldn't be more important.

Dahua's bonus system has also been implemented for several years. Whether it is three barrels of oil or employees of other domestic companies, they basically understand it. Hua Industrial tried the waters.Compared with the raging wave of going overseas, going to a large private company like Dahua Industrial is much less risky, and with the salary return of Dahua Industrial, everyone will not feel that it is less.

After all, the mid-90s was different from the 80s. People's minds were relatively open, and people who made their first and second pots of gold also used their wealth to constantly impact everyone's ideas.on the other hand.White-collar workers in foreign companies have almost become a kind of myth, but under the conscious promotion of Dahua's public relations department, working in Dahua Industrial has almost obtained one of the best jobs in China.

In fact, due to the extremely high profits of Dahua Industrial, this is indeed one of the few good jobs in China.Compare that to CNPC's 150 million employees.Dahua Industrial has now expanded to just over 10 yuan. Therefore, although the overall profit is still a lot worse, it will be much more if it is evenly distributed to each employee. Although the annual dividend is only about [-]% of the total profit, it is still It is extremely rich.

Li Hu, the drilling team leader on the No. 503 drilling platform, is from the state-run coal mine. He joined Dahua Industrial during the big recruitment during the development of Seitan.After working as an oil production worker in the Setan Coal Mine for two years, he experienced drilling and cementing work, and then went to Dahua’s Pudong training base for further training, and then returned to Setan as the deputy captain of the oil production team and the deputy captain of the exploration team. , the captain of the drilling team. After almost one round, he continued to study again. He was selected to assist in the construction in the Caspian Sea area, followed the exploration, and then became the drilling captain of the most important drilling platform, and also served as the platform supervisor.

In terms of experience and skills, the 32-year-old Li Hu is impeccable, and it is only through his experience and skills that he can get the most important blue-collar position in Dahua Industrial. figure.

Despite his rich experience, Li Hu on the drilling platform did not feel relaxed at all.

Offshore drilling platforms use the most advanced technology in the world, and advanced technology often means short use time, less use time, and less use experience. At the same time, the most advanced technology is usually not the most mature technology, which usually represents complex operation.

It's just that, Li Hu, who has to participate in two or three months of advanced training every year, doesn't care. What really makes his face dignified is the drilling itself.

Whether there is any sign of oil leakage and when to test the oil decisively, these all need to be judged based on experience and on-site conditions, and the time for judgment is often very short, and the opportunity is often fleeting.

Historically, there are many fields that have been drilled two or three times.After three years of concessions, there are many oil fields that have not found oil, and it is not uncommon for oil fields to be found by other companies after turning around.

Most of the time, the symptoms of oil coming out and not coming out are very obvious. Whether you can get gushing oil in the end depends on the choice of oil test.

If you choose the wrong timing, the oil test may be mud, even if the crude oil is surging 30 cm away, if you can't find it, you can't find it.

Li Hu would not let an oil well slip away from his hands.

However, since (starting from 00 meters, to the present) 40 meters, the footage has been 90 meters, and still nothing has been found.

Li Hu's expression was calm, but there were some changes in his heart.

Today, the first drilling well is producing as usual. If No. 503 is located in the same oil field or oil area, at this depth, there should be some discoveries.

At least, the state of the underground should have changed.

"Why don't we stop drilling and do an oil test first?" The deputy captain of the drilling team is in his 40s and has rich experience. There are also [-], but they don't want to live there for a long time. They just jumped to Dahua Industrial, but they didn't expect to be sent to a more distant Central Asia.Of course, the environment near the Caspian Sea is not bad, and the generous salary is enough for him to settle down in Shanghai, where the headquarters is located.I live at home for two months every year, and go abroad to work for half a year, living a life similar to that of a fisherman.

Li Hu has always respected the opinions of the deputy captain. The number of wells drilled is still a very important experience in this era.

However, this well was watched by Li Hu from beginning to end, so he thought about it for a while.Shaking his head, he said, "After drilling to 3000 meters without producing oil, we will consider the issue of oil testing. We are far away from Well No. 1. We may not be able to find the right place when we retrieve it."

"Then wait." The vice-captain didn't insist.Deviated wells can be regarded as a high-end technology in the drilling process. Chengdao Oilfield and Setan Oilfield have used high-inclination wells. Today, seven years later, the technology for extending inclined wells during drilling is relatively mature. Horizontal wells can correct the position difference of vertical drilling, but they also need to be drilled in the right position.

The drilling footage is still slowly increasing.

On the auxiliary ship, Gu Haijian's face was covered with sweat, and he kept flipping through the geological map in hand.Facing the computer again, he muttered, "According to reason, the gas output here may be very high..."

Su Cheng brought the representatives of the other six companies to stay on the boat. Naturally, it was not for people to watch him make a fool of himself. Gu Haijian and his own judgment played a big role.

However, the oil has not come out close to 3000 meters.It was indeed not within Gu Haijian's judgment.

This is offshore drilling. Unlike onshore drilling technology, which can reach 6000 to 90 meters, with the marine technology in the mid-3000s, drilling to 3500 meters is no longer shallow. [-] meters is almost the normal drilling depth. No matter how deep the drilling platform is, Not without.But the cost of this kind of drilling platform is high, and the cost of building a well is not low, and the cost per barrel is a bit too high.

For the deep-sea drilling platforms of later generations, the cost of a barrel of oil can be as high as 70 US dollars per barrel. Counting other expenses, it is approaching the price of oil. The technology in 1994 was not as good, but in terms of drilling in the middle distance.The cost is relatively higher. No matter who it is, they don't want to encounter oil fields below 3500 meters.

As an employee of CNOOC, Shi Wanke also understood the reasoning. He secretly glanced at Su Cheng, but saw that the latter's expression was calm, showing no change at all.

"3000 meters." A yellow flag hung on the drilling platform, representing the 3000-meter footage reached.

In the past, the drilling team might have cheered.Where depth is hinted at, however, the yellow flag presents a dilemma.

"Su Dong, Gu Suo, do you want to guide the scene?" Yang Ming knew that Su Cheng advocated trusting the scene, but he still reminded him in a low voice.

Gu Haijian's back was wet with sweat, he dropped the blueprint, and said in a deep voice: "Now there are two options, continue down, or test the oil forcibly. If the performance of the oil test forcibly is good, you can also consider shooting Hole scheme."

The underground crude oil is layered, just like the cream in the cake. There are often oil layers several meters or tens of meters thick hidden between hundreds of kilometers of rocks. Centimeter layers of crude oil are not surprising either.

Oil testing is usually to open a hole in the oil layer to release the pressure, and the crude oil will naturally flow up continuously.

The perforation is slightly stronger, which can break the mud in the well and increase the success rate of oil testing.Sioux City has tried this method on waste oil wells.

By the mid-90s, this technology was quite mature and a common method.

However, no matter how good the method is, there must be an oil layer down the well.

At least, within the 3000 meters that have been drilled, there must be oil reservoirs.

Su Cheng thought silently.

Over the years, he has become accustomed to making decisions at critical moments.

Life is made up of decisions one by one, the right decision leads to the rise, and the wrong decision leads to the fall.

While Sioux City was thinking, the roar of the engine on the drilling platform gradually became smaller.

Drilling team leader Li Hu is also hesitant.

Drilling does not mean that the deeper the better, the drilling process will squeeze out the mud in the well. When drilling down to 3000 meters, the oil layer at 00 meters is equivalent to experiencing 1000 meters of mud. There is a great possibility of being stuck.

The estimated depth of the oil layer is (about 60 meters. Now drilling to 3000 meters has little impact on the oil layer. If you drill a few hundred meters, even if there is an oil layer, it may be polluted.

Li Hu carefully observed the flow of mud, a little unsure whether to continue.

At this time, the blue telephone on the drilling platform rang "beep".

"I'm Li Hu, the drilling captain." Li Hu picked up the phone and first announced his home. There was an auxiliary ship next to him, and the telephone line was also pulled there. Needless to say, he was calling from the command center.

"I'm Su Cheng." Su Cheng was very angry, but Li Hu was taken aback when he heard it.

"Chairman?"

"It's me. What's the situation at the scene?"

"At present... there is no sign of oil coming out." Li Hu said it very hard.

"I'm Gu Haijian, the director of the Offshore Petroleum Research Institute, are there no signs?" Gu Haijian lay down on the table and shouted into the speakerphone.

Li Hu held the microphone a little further away from him, and after he finished speaking, he said in a low voice: "There is no sign of oil coming out."

"From (50 meters to 3000 meters, there is no sign?" Gu Haijian asked again, which did not match his judgment.

"No." Li Huming knew that the other side couldn't see him, so he shook his head.

"Keep drilling down." This time it was replaced by Sioux City.

"Su Dong!"

"Chairman!"

Both Gu Haijian and Li Hu called out.

"Li Hu, right? I just read your resume. You are one of the drilling captains who found the most oil wells in the Setan Oilfield. Although the footage is not the highest, the production of oil wells is ranked in the top 10. In my opinion, you are A well-drilling team leader who is meticulous enough will not miss signs of oil production. I trust your judgment, please continue to drill, we are waiting for your good news." Sioux Cheng's voice was unhurried, as if stating a fact.

For some reason, Li Hu was suddenly speechless, and his throat suddenly became extremely dry, as if he had run [-] meters.

He also believed in himself, his professional level, his experience, and his feelings. Because of this, he refused the vice-captain's suggestion and insisted on drilling down.

However, he also knew that there were domestic inspection groups on the auxiliary ship, as well as visitors from foreign companies.In the end, Su Cheng chose to believe in himself, not Gu Haijian, the director of the Offshore Oil Research Institute...

As an employee of Dahua, everyone knows the position of Dahua Laboratory in Sioux City's heart.Gu Haijian is an absolute authority on offshore oil...

Su Cheng's voice was still steady, as if he was explaining to everyone: "Although some wells can be successfully completed and tested without any signs of oil production, such cases are rare after all. On the contrary, I think (60 meters can produce oil) Oil, lack of sufficient scientific basis, I believe in Li Hu's judgment, continuing to drill down is the best choice."

This is the second time that Su Cheng said "trust Li Hu's judgment".

Li Hu repeated it in a murmur, and all hesitation disappeared.

"Continue to drill down! Pay attention to the records..." Li Hu roared, like a boatswain in the age of sailing, full of momentum and high spirits.
