Chapter Twenty-Six: The Night of Sulig

Night shift, it's hard.

When Wei Ying was working in the diesel engine room, she could still stand in front of the diesel engine fan, blowing hot air, leaning on the railing, taking a nap for a while, and relieving fatigue.

However, when Wei Ying came to work on the drill floor, there seemed to be endless work on the night shift.

Since Wei Ying took over, she has been working with her master Wang Zhizhi.

They worked non-stop from eight o'clock in the evening to one o'clock in the morning,

They arranged the drill pipes, cleaned the threads, applied the thread oil to the drilling tools, maintained the overhead grooves and vibrating screens, and so on.

At this time, Wei Ying felt tired, sleepy, and cold.

At this time, the master Wang Zhizhi yawned and said to Wei Ying:

"Wei Ying, it's time for us to rest for a while. ”

Hearing that she could rest for a while, Wei Ying happily thought:

Is it possible to find a house, a little squint for a while.

However, what Wei Ying didn't expect was that the master Wang Zhizhi took Wei Ying to the outside of the well site.

I saw that Wang Zhizhi was leaning against the iron house and sitting on the sand,

He smoked a cigarette and said:

"Wei Ying, let's sit here, rest, and after a while, we have to go fishing for sand......"

During the drilling process of the new well, the drilling fluid will bring out the sand from the borehole wall......

And this sand will accumulate at the mouth of the well, in the drainage channel leading to the mud pool.

Therefore, in order to ensure the smoothness of the drainage canal, the sand accumulated in the drainage canal and the drilling fluid brought out from the well wall must be fished out.

Otherwise, the drain will be clogged.

The drilling fluid, because it does not flow into the mud pool, will accumulate near the wellhead......

Wei Ying sat next to Wang Zhizhi, she leaned against the cold iron house, nodded, and said:

"Good ......"

In winter, in the Sulig Desert at night, the temperature drops dramatically.

Wei Ying sat and rested, and before she could do it for a while, she was frozen, shivering all over, and couldn't sit still at all.

Although, Wei Ying still wants to rest for a while,

After all, at this time, she was tired and sleepy.

However, compared to the pain of drowsiness, the cold had forced her to no longer rest.

At this time, Wei Ying, she really felt hungry and cold.

My body is very tired, I want to sit down and rest for a while, but I can't freeze it.

At this time, Wei Ying, she felt that compared with the pain of drowsiness and exhaustion, the pain caused by the cold was more unbearable.

At this time, the outside temperature was close to minus 25 degrees.

Although Wei Ying wore it, she wore two big cotton jackets.

However, as soon as she sat down, she still couldn't stand the cold.

Wei Ying felt that she had never been so cold.

Because, Wei Ying has lived in a heated unit since she was a child.

She didn't have much at all, she had been frozen,

Therefore, Wei Ying felt that the cold was not a problem in the first place.

Now, in the Sulige Desert of Inner Mongolia, in the low temperature of minus twenty-five, Wei Ying really felt the biting and unbearable cold.

I saw that Wei Ying sat up, she was trembling all over, and said:

"Master Wang, let's go to the wellhead and get sand......"

After Wang Zhizhi finished smoking, he took another cigarette and said:

"You're not tired, rest for a while......"

Wei Ying felt that it was too cold to sit like this,

She said:

"Master Wang, aren't you sitting here, aren't you cold?"

Listening to Wei Ying's words, Wang Zhizhi quietly took out a bottle of liquor from inside his clothes,

She took a sip and said with a smile:

"I've got this thing, and if it's really cold, take a sip and it won't be cold. ”

As he spoke, Wang Zhizhi grunted again and took a few sips......

And when Wei Ying saw that Wang Zhizhi was actually drinking at work, she was simply stunned.

As soon as Wei Ying entered the drilling team, she learned the relevant regulations of the drilling team:

Resolutely put an end to drunken work......

Moreover, drilling work is a dangerous job in itself.

If the drillman drinks and goes to work,

Well, the consequences are unimaginable.

If you don't do it, you'll die......

Wei Ying's eyes widened, looked at Wang Zhizhi, and said:

"Master Wang, you are an old worker, how can you drink when you go to work?"

Wang Zhizhi looked at Wei Ying's surprised look, he disagreed, and said:

"What's this, it's normal...... It's okay, I drink a lot, and drinking this little bit of wine will not affect my work at all......"

Wei Ying shook her head, she was very resolute, and said to Wang Zhizhi:

"Master Wang, you'd better put away the wine now...... Otherwise, I won't keep it a secret for you......"

Listening to Wei Ying's words, Wang Zhizhi was startled,

He knew that if he was drinking in the process of work, if the team leader knew about it, he would definitely be severely punished......

So, Wang Zhizhi hurriedly put away the wine bottle,

Then, in a threatening tone, he said to Wei Ying:

"Wei Ying, what if, you tell me about drinking at work...... Then, don't be my apprentice, and don't work with me......"

After speaking, Wang Zhizhi thought in his heart:

Wei Ying is a girl, and she is new here. If you scare her casually, you'll be fine.

So, Wang Zhizhi didn't take it seriously, went to the vicinity of the wellhead, and fished out sand......

When Wei Ying came to the mouth of the well, she took a shovel and fished out the sand from the drainage canal and piled it up beside it, while thinking:

For Master Wang's drinking in the process of work, he must not hide it.

Otherwise, I would be irresponsible for the safety of Master Wang's life......

Even if you offend Master Wang, you have to tell the leader about this matter.

Thus, let Master Wang realize his mistakes.

The work of the drilling team is very dangerous.

What's more, when you drink alcohol and go to work, it's simply taking your life as a child's play.

After deciding, Wei Ying continued to scoop up the sand.

The work of scooping up sand is very hard.

And it has to be fast.

Because, the drilling fluid flows out of the wellhead very quickly, and it carries a lot of sand.

If the driller is next to the wellhead and the speed of scooping up the sand is not fast enough,

Then, the sand will clog the drainage channel, resulting in the drilling fluid, which cannot flow out, and will flow under the drill floor and around the wellhead, which will hinder production......

Wei Ying held a shovel, and she kept shoveling sand out of the drainage canal.

However, no matter how hard Wei Ying tried, he shoveled out the sand from the drainage canal,

She still felt that the sand in the drainage canal could not be shoveled at all.

Moreover, when Wei Ying's speed of shoveling sand is a little slower,

drains, it will be clogged.

No way, Wei Ying could only take it off and wear a padded jacket on her body,

Then, gritting his teeth, he shoveled the sand out of the drain with a shovel as fast as he could......

After a while, Wei Ying was so hot that she was sweating.

No way, Wei Ying can only take it off again, a padded jacket,

Dressed only in a thin sweater and red overalls, she stood under the drill floor, near the wellhead, next to the drain, shoveling sand out......

And when Wang Zhizhi saw Wei Ying's hard work, he was very surprised and said:

"Wei Ying, although you are a post-80s generation. However, the way you work hard reminds me of the spirit of self-reliance and hard work at the beginning of our Changqing Oilfield...... At that time, we oil people, not afraid of hardship, not afraid of tiredness, ran to Qingyang, three stones set up pots, tents set up in the mountain nest ......"
