"All the gates of the well sealing device must be pressure tested." The supervisor ordered firmly.

Lu Xiangfei, the drilling team leader of Dahua 505, was full of bitterness: "There are more than 0 gates. If you try this way, you can't finish it in a day. In fact, the standard of our blowout preventer is higher than that of other companies, and the time is so tight now." , how about we test the main gates and sample 10 more?"

"Our standards are high, and the oil and gas pressure in the Aqijiu Oilfield is even higher. If there is another blowout, we will have to go around. Didn't you know the accident where the entire derrick flew into the sky last time? If it weren't for the explosion protection of the drilling platform If the level reaches Level 2, the drilling platform may burn up. I’ll let you go here, but the subsequent inspections will not pass.” The supervisor is also an employee of Dahua Industrial. Although he is on the drilling platform with the drilling team, he and the drilling team The team is divided into two units, which is equivalent to the existence of Party A, who supervises Party B full-time and requires the other party to complete the work in accordance with the prescribed steps and documents.

In the current Setan Oilfield, or the several oilfields that Dahua Industrial has developed for the Russians, there are a large number of drilling teams from the National Petroleum Corporation as Party B for Dahua Industrial, that is, the pure construction party.Aqijiu Oilfield originally had many construction teams from Party B, but only because of Sioux City's order, all of them were changed to Dahua's own team.

However, the construction personnel have changed, but the system structure has not changed substantially. Not only that, because Suzhou City is watching closely, all Dahua employees in the Al Arab region are extremely careful, and the rules and regulations for safe production are like golden rules. The few people who are hanging in the air and dare to touch it, even if they are not fired, will be demoted and sent back to China for retraining.

Lu Xiangfei managed to climb up the "Special Contribution List", and naturally he didn't want to be kicked off for violating discipline. He gritted his teeth and said, "The standard of pressure testing is high, there must be some valves that can't stand it. The materials we have in stock are not enough, so we have to let them go now." The supply ship comes to deliver things, if there is no one in the warehouse, you must buy it now."

"No problem." The supervisor was also very clear about his responsibilities, and agreed without hesitation.

"I can't sleep again now." Lu Xiangfei sighed, went back and gave the order, and did it by himself.

The drilling crew wailed, and after it didn't work, they had to follow Lu Xiangfei and start debugging.

Drilling platform 505 uses an annular well sealer. The rubber core is a big weakness. It depends on the technique to operate it. If it is used well, it can reach a good level.

As the captain, Lu Xiangfei is naturally the best skilled.He went into battle in person, and checked and debugged all the gates in sequence.It was originally planned to start drilling in the afternoon, but naturally it failed. In fact, when it was time for dinner, the second round of inspection was only completed.

"Can you try it?" The supervisor was also anxious. It is his first job to ask the entire drilling platform to follow the rules, but time is also very important. Everyone in Dahua knows that the company has invested a lot in Azerbaijan. The cost is huge, and if it is not for repeated orders from safety regulations, he also hopes to start drilling as soon as possible.

Lu Xiangfei read it again, wiped off his sweat, straightened up and said, "Just try it, get ready first."

Needless to say by him alone, the stopper, clean water, and sealing rubber ring were in place in an instant, and the high-pressure area was also surrounded by a security belt. The driller and assistant driller held mud pumps and hoses, looking ready to fight.

Together with the driller, Lu Xiangfei installed a cleaning head on the heavy-weight drill pipe. After cleaning the wellhead, it went down into the well, and a plug smeared with butter was connected to the upper end...

When everything was ready, Lu Xiangfei shouted directly in a hoarse voice: "Close the valve, first apply 10 pressures."

10 pressure is 10 atmospheres, which is about 1 MPa, which is a relatively small wellhead pressure.

The sealing device performed well under this value, which also proved that there was no problem with the installation. Lu Xiangfei nodded and said again: "The mud pump pumped to 30 pressure."

The driller did as he did, and the engineer held his pocket watch and shouted: "Record 3 minutes at 10 MPa voltage stabilization, and start timing."

Lu Xiangfei sat down on a raised edge with a relaxed expression.

The well sealing device they are using now is produced by Dahua Industry, which is not as good as the imported product from Setan Oilfield, but it is still much better than the domestic product.This is also determined by different working environments. Several domestic companies seldom go abroad to do projects, and domestic oil wells have low pressure, and similar well sealing devices can do it.However, Sioux City is obsessed with occupying several large oil fields, and has high requirements for all kinds of self-produced oil well equipment.

Historically, China National Petroleum Corporation began to encounter problems with sealing devices and other aspects when exploiting Sudanese crude oil. However, before that, they often used imported goods.

3 MPa is extremely easy for any kind of well sealing device.

After 10 minutes of pressure stabilization, the driller asked Lu Xiangfei for instructions, and then slowly increased the pressure of the mud pump to MPa with the assistant driller.

Lu Xiangfei just stood up at this moment.

The supervisor also stretched his neck, pinching his watch to check the time.

As soon as the hour hand reached 3 minutes, mud began to gurgle under the ram.

"Is it okay?" The supervisor turned his head and asked Lu Xiangfei. This level is not too bad, and it is still on the edge of being usable.

Lu Xiangfei scratched his head: "Look again."

After the 10-minute voltage stabilization test was over, the gate did not burst open, but the rubber core could not go back when it was closed.

Lu Xiangfei said as expected: "The pad is no longer good, and this well sealing device has to be replaced with a new one to have hope."

"I'm going to urge the supply ship." The supervisor went to make a phone call without saying a word.

At 12 o'clock in the morning, it was Dahua's own night ship that rushed over the needed supplies. At this time, even if they did not pursue secrecy, the Azerbaijanis in Baku would not set sail.

The supervisor went to inspect the materials on behalf of Party A, and Lu Xiangfei had already removed all 48 [-]-inch screws.Not only the drilling team, but also workers and engineers from other departments came to help, or adjust the derrick, or help change the pads and oil.

Try again, the annular sealer lasted 0 minutes at 5 pressure, and the rubber core failed again.

"Change it again." Lu Xiangfei had an expression of an old scalper. Only by making the well sealing device reach the best working condition can it withstand 0 atmospheres.

The 48 large screws were removed again, all the pads replaced, re-greased, and the gates re-installed.

Several workers worked on the ground for more than an hour before adjusting the huge screws in place. Lu Xiangfei checked them one by one. To achieve the maximum effect, the screws should not be too tight or too loose. There are regulations on the number of turns on the screw, and some factories take a year and a half to achieve the yield rate required by the design just to try these meticulous things.

Offshore drilling platforms do not originally require special precision, but if the equipment is to be in the best condition, it must be special precision.

On the sea surface at night, the cold wind keeps coming. Even wearing four or five pieces of clothes, I still can’t help stamping my feet. Loading and unloading huge screws on the cold steel surface is definitely hard work, not to mention that the steel surface has been covered by the mud pouring up .

Tired and dirty, basically declaring the job unacceptable.

The supervisor looked at Lu Xiangfei, who was nearly 40 years old, shivering from the cold, took off his gloves, and felt for the screws to twist. He felt really sorry, so he took off his military coat, put it under Lu Xiangfei's legs, and said, "If not, tomorrow Let’s do it again, otherwise, let’s purchase a batch of imported well sealing devices.”

"The head of the well needs to be adjusted. It won't be much better. As long as the well can produce oil, I'd be happy to do it for another two nights." Lu Xiangfei asked someone to bring another military coat over for the supervisor to change into, and continued to groan.

In just a few minutes, the supervisor's lips turned blue from the cold, he put on his clothes in embarrassment, and said tremblingly: "Su Dong said, the oil field under our feet is one of the best oil fields in the world, what we want , is the oil well with the largest production, and next time, crude oil will come out from under the capping device.”

"0 pressure, if the crude oil can still come out..." Lu Xiangfei suddenly laughed twice, then changed the subject and said, "I'll admit it."

"I admit it too! In my life, the most hopeful opportunity to see a [-]-ton oil well is now." Wrapped in a coat, the supervisor suddenly sighed.

A general 0-ton well cannot drill at 0 atmospheric pressure. Therefore, a high-pressure well that cannot be stuck by a [-]-pressure sealing device must be a high-yield oil well.

Although the oil fields occupied by Dahua are good, there are only so many high-yield oil wells in the world. It is really not lucky for a company to have two wells that are about to leave.

One sentence from the supervisor made everyone feel something, and their movements unnaturally quickened.

The third test, still failed.

The fourth test, still failed.

Each time, all the parts have to be removed and the gaskets and lube reinstalled.

Repetitive and boring work makes people feel dizzy and feel like vomiting.

Lu Xiangfei frowned, but persisted.

The rest of the drilling team also gradually lost the mood to complain, and continued to work with the team leader.

Work on the platform is inherently dirty, tiring, and hard work. Those who cannot bear the pressure will definitely not be able to stay.

It took a total of 30 hours before the pressure test was successful.

At this moment, the faces of the people on the entire drilling platform are all wooden.On the one hand, it is the cold wind blowing, on the other hand, it is from staying up late.

Lu Xiangfei signed the document given by the supervisor, and then went back to sleep. People from other departments tried their best to help clean up. The next job was still the drilling team's work, and they couldn't do without a good night's sleep.

The next day, a scent woke Lu Xiangfei up.

"What?" He looked down from the upper bunk. The places on the drilling platform are precious, and they are basically school-like dormitories.

The engineer Huang Donglei was sitting on the lower berth. This guy with a huge stomach was digging through the lunch on the plate while muttering, "Dong Su is here. You can eat with your hands, half the meat and half the rice."

"Su Dong is here?" Lu Xiangfei repeated.

Huang Donglei couldn't figure out the point at all. He said "um" and said: "You haven't eaten breakfast or lunch, have you? Hurry up, return the soup in the cafeteria, if it's later, the wolves will drink up."

"Why don't you eat in the cafeteria?"

"There are several senior executives in the headquarters. I ate two servings. I was a little embarrassed, so I said I would make a pot for the drilling captain in the dormitory. Su Dong heard it and asked about you. Look, the cook heard that it was for You eat more meat than others. Oh, if you go to the cafeteria and you are asked, just say that I knocked over the rice bowl on the way." Huang Donglei ate while talking, and the speed of both items was extremely fast. quick.

Lu Xiangfei jumped off the bed, blocked Huang Donglei's waving chopsticks, and said, "You said Su Dong asked about me?"

"Yeah, I told you to go see him when you woke up. Otherwise, do you think the cook would cook for me to bring back? Give me back so much meat? Look, it's all small ribs. **That guy hid it."

"Su Dong told me to go see him when I wake up?" Lu Xiangfei was stunned for a moment, and said angrily, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Didn't I say it?"

"I'm going now." Lu Xiangfei put on his pants, picked up his clothes, and ran outside.

Behind him, Huang Donglei said slowly: "Do you know where Su Dong is?"

Lu Xiangfei, who had already run extremely fast, braked abruptly, came back and glared at Huang Donglei, "Not in the cafeteria anymore? Do you know where it is?"

"Oh, you know." Huang Donglei blinked and lowered his head to plan rice.

"What do I know?"

"In the cafeteria, I thought you didn't know." Huang Donglei looked like a fool.

Lu Xiangfei went crazy, snatched his chopsticks angrily, took two steps to run up, and threw him directly into the sea.

Huang Donglei got up calmly, opened the drawer, took out a new pair of chopsticks, and said silently: "Fortunately, they are bamboo chopsticks, otherwise it would cause pollution."

Lu Xiangfei ran to the cafeteria as fast as he could, and he saw Su Cheng and his party. The most conspicuous of them was Qin Shiwei, who was stronger than the iron pillar.

"President Qin of the Oil Drilling and Production Research Institute? What is he here for?" Seeing him, Lu Xiangfei was puzzled for a while, and then ecstatic.

Qin Shiwei is notoriously regards time as his life, and never does such things as socializing or accompanying.

With his strong body, high technical level, and Su Cheng's attention, Qin Shiwei is as special as an activity boss in the eyes of grassroots workers-where he is, it usually means some kind of activity.

On today's rigs, the only activity is oil production.

"Have a new plan?" Lu Xiangfei didn't sleep very clearly, and when he came to Su Cheng, he said something out of nowhere.

Su Cheng smiled, took the initiative to shake hands with him and said, "Captain Lu, I heard that you worked continuously for two days and one night, are you tired?"

"I'm not tired, what's there to be tired, this is what we do." Lu Xiangfei was a little proud, it was the boss greeting us.

Qin Shiwei didn't intend to give them time to exchange greetings, so he tapped on the table and said, "We have been checking the seismic data recently, and the edge well that No. 507 is doing is in good condition. According to the latest feedback, I have re-made a stratigraphic map. Refer to it when you are in the well.”

The stratigraphic map in the mid-90s is quite simple, but the basic functions are still complete, and Lu Xiangfei can understand it. He tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "So, we are connected with 503 below?"

"Yes, and our side is lower, and the output may be higher."

"Then I understand."

"Just understand, let's go." Qin Shiwei got up and began to collect the drawings.

Lu Xiangfei didn't understand again, and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Drill!" Qin Shiwei looked even more confused.

"Ah... ah!" Lu Xiangfei hurriedly followed as if he had just woken up from a dream, thinking: These engineers from the University of Petroleum are all idiots, and each one is more unreliable than the other.

Su Cheng smiled and nodded to the surroundings, and Shi Shiran followed behind.

Soon, the drilling rig rumbled.

Dahua Industrial has drilled three rounds of drilling since last November, with a total of more than 11 wells, but luck is not very good, most of them are dry wells.However, with so many oil wells as the bottom, the geological conditions below are well understood. Qin Shiwei's drawing is still a prediction, but once it is confirmed, it will be a standard underground crude oil distribution map.

In fact, the situation that Dahua Industrial encountered in the Aqijiu Oilfield is the most common situation in the oil industry. To be more precise, more than two of the 10 oil wells in the early stage saw oil, which is quite good.

Only such a ratio can make the oil company persist. Otherwise, even if there is no oil star after drilling five dry wells, no matter how strong the oil company is, it will not be able to bear it.But the more you drill, the lower the situation becomes clear, and the probability of a dry well is reduced.

What Lu Xiangfei is doing now is more like a pure oil production well than an exploration well.

Under his command, the drilling team kept speeding up the footage in front of the drawings.

On the afternoon of June 6, the drill bit arrived at the designated location.

"Uncasing!"

"Test the oil!"

Lu Xiangfei's drilling team performed a series of actions very skillfully.

Qin Shiwei stood at the supervisor's position, staring at the actions below.What he wants is a successful oil test, which can explain the accuracy of the crude oil distribution map.

Su Cheng's mood was also not calm, and he said with a poker face: "The situation looks good, you don't have to worry."

"Why should I worry about it?" Qin Shiwei concealed: "If you don't succeed this time, let me tell you, you have to go the way of exploring Bianjing..."

"Don't say unlucky words." Su Cheng interrupted him.

Qin Shiwei blushed: "Do you still believe this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the drilling platform shook.

The derrick also made a "gurgling" sound, like a full belch on the bottom of the sea.

Qin Shiwei was stunned for a moment, his expression instantly changed from a smirk to a cute one, like a bear whose face was swollen by a bee stung.

"It's oily..."

Su Cheng murmured something, his voice was completely covered by the noise in his ears, but his mood was inexplicably calm.

It should be said that he didn't feel peaceful before, until now.

The exploitation of the Aqijiu Oilfield really consumed too much of his energy and too much resources of the group. It is only natural to produce oil, but the unreasonable dry wells have caused too much pressure .

Not only Sioux City was under tremendous pressure, but the entire Dahua Industry was under tremendous pressure.

Even those who didn't know the Aqijiu Oilfield were under even greater pressure.

After a short period of dementia, Qin Shiwei rushed up to check. Yang Ming, Li Shirong and others lost their usual calmness and looked at the front at a loss, all looking foolish with joy.

"We're going to drill the second oil well right away, and there's a third well, here and here!" Qin Shiwei ran back at some point, tearing apart the blueprint with a smudged body, and slapped his fingers vigorously on the two key marked crosses. point.

Su Cheng seemed to be woken up, nodded his head twice, then grabbed Li Shirong, and shouted at the top of his voice amidst the endless noise: "Secret, oil well secret!"
