The news that came out of the rig was a failure, and there was not a single encouraging message coming out. This makes a bunch of people waiting for news less and less calm.

In addition to Jiang Xinwei and Mestafa, there are also Tu Zheng, Lu Zhiyue, Zhao Hekun and others, as well as representatives of Lukoil Company, Bashikiel Petroleum Company, and even Miura Shape Warehouse of Nikko Oil Co., Ltd. and Tawfik of Indonesia's Green Island Petroleum Company.

Representatives of Lukoil Company and Bathskill Oil Company came to see the lively components, and wanted to see how the oil situation of East-JM Investment Company's oil field was, so as to infer the situation of their own company's oil field, although it is said that no matter how much oil these oils are someone else's, if the oil field of East-JM Investment Company has more oil content, then the opportunity of having more oil reservoirs in their own oil field is naturally greater, and they have greater confidence to invest in exploration, that is, borrowing money everywhere and borrowing usury to find out the oil underground.

If the reserves are small, they will have to consider whether to reduce their investment. They don't want to be held back by an undeveloped oil field.

Miura and Taufik have a much more complicated mood: on the one hand, they hope that Wang Jindong will even say that all the exploration of the Chinese exploration team has failed this time, and that they will not be able to test the oil, so that those oil field employers will no longer believe in them, and their side will have the opportunity to take over the exploration business of other oil companies. But on the other hand, they hope that Wang Jindong and they can test the oil, so that those oil field owners will be willing to invest and hire them to explore with high salaries.

They suffered from gains and losses, hoping that Wang Jindong and their oil tests failed again and again, but hoped that they could finally test the oil.

The news from the rig made everyone nervous, and every time they heard the shouts there, everyone's hearts rose to their throats.

Even Jiang Xinwei, who thinks he is calm and doesn't care too much about the crude oil here, can't help but be a little panicked. With his worth, he no longer cares about the crude oil here, as long as he wants, he can buy as much crude oil as he wants with his money in the international crude oil market, as long as there are so many oil tankers to transport it. But he still hopes to test the oil in his heart, so that as long as the oil pipeline from Kazakhstan to China is built, it will be able to deliver crude oil to China immediately, instead of the oil pipeline being built, but he still has to wait for the empty pipe and wait for the salesman to purchase crude oil everywhere.

With the cooperation of Mayoni and the relevant departments of China, especially after Mayoni agreed to a billion-dollar low-interest loan from Kazakhstan, the construction of the oil pipeline from Russia through Kazakhstan has begun, and it is estimated that the construction will be completed in less than two years. The pipes, valves and other materials needed for this pipeline were purchased by East-JM Investment Company from all over the world, and PetroChina's subsidiaries only received 100 million US dollars in the purchase amount, providing not major components, such as pipes and valves, but some accessories, such as metal pillars and protective plates.

Although this amount is small and the equipment provided is not high-tech, the company under PetroChina has already laughed so much that the back of the gums are exposed, because this is the first time they have received an international order. They seem to have forgotten that the reason why they won the bid was because East-JM Investments was open to them, mainly because of their low offer.

This made Jiang Xinwei even more determined to build an oil pipeline factory, and he must not watch the white money flow into the pockets of foreign enterprises.

By the afternoon, the rig had again heard the news of a failed oil test.

"Ah——, I've failed eighteen times in a row. Looks like they've only found twenty-one oil and gas formations, right?" asked the representative from Lukoil nervously.

The oil test is to start from the deepest oil and gas layer, basically each layer is tried once, and each time you try it, you will lift it up one layer and try it again. All the oil and gas reservoirs have been tested, and if there is no industrial oil flow, this exploration well is equivalent to useless and can only be abandoned.

"Jiang Dong, I'll go to the drilling platform. Although Tu Zheng parted ways with Wang Jindong and they are now exploring at the Bathskill Oil Company, he does not have any personal contradictions with Wang Jindong, plus everyone is abroad, and the feelings are deeper than in China, not to mention that Wang Jindong's success and failure will also affect his exploration team, so he naturally does not want to see Wang Jindong fail, and he can't bear to take care of some scruples in the industry, and hurriedly runs towards the drilling platform.

Lu Zhiyue, the captain of the exploration team, and Zhao Hekun also wanted to go over, but thinking of the taboo among their peers, they finally held back, and just anxiously looked at the crowded drilling platform in the distance.

Jiang Xinwei looked at the two of them who wanted to go but didn't dare to go, tried to calm down their mood, and smiled: "Don't worry, it's useless for you to be anxious." They can't try oil, maybe it's a technical problem, maybe it's really out of oil, maybe it's the kind of inexplicable luck, anyway, you're in a hurry here to no avail. Aren't there three more oil tests? Wait patiently, maybe good news will come soon. ”

Lu Zhiyue and Zhao Hekun both smiled awkwardly.

Lu Zhiyue said: "I didn't feel it when I tested the oil before, although I was a little nervous, but I didn't wait for it to be nervous. Jiang Dong, you can't understand the feelings of our oil people. …… , Jiang Dong, you also know that over the years, we have drilled more than 200 wells, at least 100, and the number of oil tests is thousands of times, and we have accumulated a little experience. If you don't have a taboo, let's go up and have a look, three stinkers are on one Zhuge Liang, and we won't point fingers when we go, okay?"

Jiang Xinxu smiled: "You can go if you want to, I don't have any taboos." Seriously, I wish you had gone. Now there are only three oil and gas reservoirs left to test the oil, and even if you are there to point fingers, I am not worried. Go ahead. ”

"Okay!" Seeing that Jiang Xinwei really didn't mean anything taboo, the two of them glanced at each other and ran towards the drilling platform.

At that time, the addition of three experienced people did not lead to a miracle, and the last three oil and gas reservoirs were still unsuccessful.

The first exploration well, Well A, officially completed its mission!

All the workers, technicians and experts involved in the oil test returned to the camp in despair. Those who watched the excitement also left unhappy. Even Miura Kakura and Tawfik were also very depressed, and they were still scolding when they left.

Jiang Xinwei summoned Wang Jindong, Wang Jianyun, He Changshi, Zhang Xueshu and Tu Zheng to a meeting, comforted them, encouraged them, and then had dinner with them, and after drinking a few bottles of beer, the atmosphere was somewhat better, and boosted a lot of morale for tomorrow's second well oil test.

Touching the wine glass with Jiang Xinwei, Wang Jindong drank all the beer in the cup, rubbed his temples in the direction of the cup, and said: "Jiang Dong, the main responsibility for the failure of this oil test lies with me, I am too anxious." At that time, if the well had been drilled to a depth of more than 4,000 meters according to Professor Yan's suggestion, and a few more oil and gas reservoirs had been found to test the oil, perhaps we would have been able to test the oil. Even if the oil had not been tested, it would have been better than the current lack of information. ”

Tu Zheng next to him listened, frowned, wanted to say something but didn't speak.

Jiang Xinwei smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, don't blame yourself." Everyone wants to try the oil as soon as possible, and they all want to save some investment. Although I am a layman, I also know that it is not said that the deeper the well, the better. Let me ask you, if you drill to a depth of 6,000 meters and still fail in the oil test, do you have to apologize at that time? Say that you have drilled too deep and wasted the company's funds? If you had known that only 1,000 meters deep would be enough? ”

As he spoke, he laughed.

Wang Jindong also smiled, but he was a little embarrassed.

Tu Zheng said: "It's still Jiang Dong who can speak." And so it is. The depth of this exploration well is not as good as you want, it must be balanced. Even if it was Professor Yan's suggestion, he only suggested, and he certainly didn't convince other experts at that time, otherwise, with my understanding of you, you wouldn't have listened to him? I said Lao Wang, don't be modest and don't take any responsibility. Although Jiang Dong is young, he is not a fool and will not blame anyone at will. ”

Lu Zhiyue said to Wang Jindong: "Lao Wang, can you tell us a little bit about your experience of testing oil this time?"

On the surface, Lu Zhiyue's words are a bit of a scar, but this is a common behavior of oil testing and exploration, just like fighting a war, whether it is a victory or a Waterloo, the troops must summarize and review, in order not to make the same mistakes in the future, in order to avoid detours in the future. After all, the waste of money for the scrapping of an exploration well is too much, and if it is in China, this money is enough for tens of thousands of people to live well for several years.

Wang Jindong silently took a sip of beer and said: "Before this well was tested, I still had some omissions, although I can forgive myself, because exploration itself cannot avoid guessing, many actions have to rely on experience, it is impossible to guess every time, but I am still very guilty." …… Okay, I'm no longer hypocritical, just talk about my experience. ”

After Wang Jindong took another sip of beer, he said in a flat tone: "After the cementing operation of Well A was completed, I immediately organized experts and technicians to conduct testing, and all technical indicators met the requirements at that time. It can be said that we were in a very good mood at that time, and we were full of confidence in testing the oil. ”

After a pause, he continued: "We started the first perforation, replacing the mud in the wellbore with clean water. Then, in the case of clear water killing, we first shot three thin oil layers, but there was no display at the wellhead, and even the pressure dropped. After that, we carried out a fishing trap spray, and in the fished water, we found the smell of oil and oil splashes, but we did not see crude oil. That's basically the way it was in the oil test later, there was oil splash but no crude oil......"
