Tu Zheng, Lu Zhiyue, Zhang Xueshu and others all listened silently, nodding from time to time.

Jiang Xinwei didn't hear anything famous, he felt that what Wang Jindong said was very simple, and he felt that what he said was very profound. Although he didn't understand well, he knew that Wang Jindong and the others must have done their best: the oil well is not dug in the position, and the oil will spew out, unless the luck is really bursting, they encounter a large oil field, or a large oil pressure oil field, as long as they drill to the position, it will gush violently. But how many such fields can there be in the world? It's far more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack.

In most cases, various methods can only be used to induce spraying, and the oil layer can be dredged through perforation, so that the crude oil has the pressure to be sprayed.

……

After dinner, the tired Wang Jindong did not rest, but continued to study the exploration data with the experts and analyze the data obtained.

It's so hard to understand the oil that's buried thousands of meters underground, and it takes a lot of information. Seismic maps, magnetic and gravity data can only give experts an estimate, and experts still need to make countless calculations based on their rich experience and various recognized theories.

Although Jiang Xinwei has made up a lot of exploration knowledge during this time, he is still not qualified to participate in their discussions.

After more than two hours with them, he went back to his tent to think about his own business. He has so many things to do, and it can even be said that the affairs of this oil field are not the things he should devote his main energy to.

On the fourth day, April 1, April Fool's Day in the West, Well B also began oil testing.

Jiang Xinxu and others also came to the new drilling platform early, nervously waiting for the results of the oil test.

The first oil test failed!

The second and third oil tests failed!

The 9th and 10th oil tests were equally unsuccessful!

The fifteenth oil test was still unsuccessful!

……

This time, the No. B exploration well learned the "lesson" of the No. A exploration well, drilling to a depth of 4,500 meters, and collecting 28 clearly visible oil and gas layer cores.

Therefore, now the failure of more than a dozen consecutive oil tests does not make people too desperate, and everyone tries to pretend to be calm and wait, for fear that they will say something wrong and be regarded as a crow's mouth.

When the drilling platform came to the oil test twenty-four times and still failed, everyone became nervous, and their hearts were slowly filled with despair, even Jiang Xinwei also thought that the oil test of Well B would end in failure, and his hope could only be pinned on the third well.

At this time, Wang Jindong hurriedly walked towards him.

Jiang Xinwei's heart moved, and he hurriedly greeted him, and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Wang, what's wrong?"

Many people looked at them, and Tawfik of the Green Island Oil Testing Company slowly walked over with a pretending to be unintentional.

Wang Jindong also said in a low voice: "Dong Jiang, we saw crude oil when we tested the 23rd oil and gas layer, but we did not see industrial flow. ”

Jiang Xinxu asked, "It's a good thing to see crude oil?" …… What do you mean?"

Although there will be no industrial production and production wells will not be erected without seeing the industrial flow oil fields, but seeing crude oil is definitely a good phenomenon, at least it can give everyone confidence.

Wang Jindong replied: "Now that there are not a few oil and gas reservoirs that can be tested, I suggest that the fishing and spraying method be carried out." Or simply test the oil by substitute spraying. ”

The so-called fishing and spraying is not only to clean up the sludge and mortar in the well, but also to dredge the debris that may block the channel of the oil and gas reservoir so as to facilitate the flow of crude oil, but this method takes a long time, maybe ten days or dozens of days to produce results.

Of course, if there is no oil underground, it is meaningless for you to fish for countless days and countless years.

And the substitution method is to use crude oil to replace the mud in the oil well. In fact, to put it bluntly, this method is to replace the dense things with the less dense things, so that the crude oil under the ground can be sprayed out under pressure: first replace the heavy mud in the drilling well with light mud. If there is no crude oil spew, replace the light mud in the drilling well with clean water, and if there is no crude oil spew, finally replace the clean water in the drilling well with crude oil to see if there is any crude oil ejected from the ground.

Once crude oil is used to feed into the well, the downhole data is definitely inaccurate, because the technicians simply don't know whether the data is measured from the crude oil under the ground or from the crude oil they have poured in, unless the crude oil gushing out of the ground is much more than the crude oil poured in.

At this time, there is no need to measure with instruments, and fools know that it is the crude oil spewed out from the ground.

Jiang Xinwei had read some exploration books and knew what the method of extracting and spraying and the method of replacing crude oil with water meant, so he said: "What do you think in your own heart? Which one do you prefer?"

Obviously, both methods have their advantages and disadvantages, one is too long, and the other is data confusion.

Wang Jindong hadn't answered yet, and Tawfik, who came over as if nothing had happened, interjected: "If the spraying method does not produce oil, then your well will really cost it!"

Tawfik is the business manager of Green Island Oil Testing Company, although he is not up to the level of professionals, but he still has a clear understanding of the steps of oil testing.

Jiang Xinwei glanced at Tao Fik, and saw that Wang Jindong was still hesitating, so he said, "I suggest you use crude oil instead of spraying method." Now there are only a few oil and gas reservoirs left that have not been tested, and there are several replacement steps to be expected for the replacement spraying method, and there is also the possibility of oil production, right? You don't have to worry. ”

As mentioned earlier, the spraying method uses light mud instead of heavy mud and clean water instead of light mud, and only when these two steps fail will crude oil be used instead of clean water. But what if the light mud replaces the heavy mud and produces oil, or if the light mud is replaced with clean water?

Wang Jindong nodded solemnly and said, "Okay! I'll go and arrange for the substitution spraying method immediately." ”

With that, he turned and ran towards the rig.

About two hours later, shortly after Jiang Xinwei and others finished lunch, news came from the drilling platform: the first step of the spraying method was to replace the heavy mud in the drilling with light mud, and no crude oil was found.

Two hours later, news came from the drilling platform again: the second step of the spraying method replaced the light mud in the drilling well with clean water, and still no crude oil was found, only an oil and gas reaction was found.

Just when everyone was disheartened and saw that the sky was about to get dark, suddenly, Jiang Xinwei saw something, and his eyes widened.

He didn't know who it was, and he shouted, "Look! What's that?"

Jiang Xinwei was the first to come back to his senses, and shouted in a lost voice: "It's oily?!!!"

As soon as his shout fell, a deafening cry rang out from the drilling platform, and countless oil workers shouted: "Oil! Oil——!

Jiang Xinwei ran to the front with his legs, and the people around him shouted in surprise one by one to follow: "It's oily——!"

Before I got on the rig, I heard a strong, unpleasant smell.

However, no one disliked the smell, and the people on the drilling platform scrambled to reach out to the black oil station, or catch or pat or touch......

Crude oil! Black crude oil! Able to spew more than three meters of crude oil!

Wang Jindong first laughed wildly in surprise, and then ordered loudly: "Connect the oil pipe!"

Merstapha asked in surprise, "Jiang Dong, is this oily?"

Jiang Xinwei didn't answer him, but looked at Wang Jindong and asked, "Is this below or did you pour it?"

Wang Jindong glared at him and said, "You are stupid." Can we pour so much crude oil into it?Can the crude oil poured in have so much pressure?" Ecstatic, he forgot that Jiang Xinwei was his boss, and at this time, his mind was full of how to control the spewed crude oil, he didn't pay attention to Jiang Xinxu and Merstafa, but issued a series of orders, "...... Quick, quick, quick, screw the bolt on!"

The crude oil gushing out is one of the large electric fountains in the square.

Several oil workers rushed up and busily followed Wang Jindong's orders, installing sections of pipes and bolting them again. They were sprayed black with oil.

The freshly sprayed oil not only has a strong and unpleasant smell, but also has a very large stickiness, which is uncomfortable whether it sticks to the skin or clothing. But the workers were not disgusted, but laughed, and if they were not worried about the oil spilling in their mouths, they would definitely laugh.

Tu Zheng, who had only arrived at noon, looked at the oil worker stupidly, and muttered to himself: "It's that simple? It's that easy? If we can produce crude oil from two wells, then we can send it......!"

Lost his mind, he forgot to avoid the oil rain that fell from the sky, making his high-end down jacket, which he only wore when he was a guest, suddenly turn into an ugly black bump.

Of course, it's not just him, it's almost all the other guests who watch the excitement. The two representatives of Lukoil and Bathskill are also chickens, and each one is as ugly as it looks. But they were all very happy, as if the crude oil drilled from this well belonged to them.

It was not until night fell, when the cold Siberian wind cut their muscles like knives and their clothes were frozen into hard armor, that they had to restrain their excitement and rush to the dormitory with screams and begin to wash the crude oil on their faces, hands, hair, and neck......

At dinner, the cafeteria became a sea of joy, everyone ate meat and drank a lot, and many people got drunk because of the excitement. The steady Wang Jindong was also so drunk that he lay under the table, and was finally dragged to the dormitory where he lived by his son Wang Jianyun.

On 2 April, Jiang Xinwei was invited by Tu Zheng to inspect the oil field exploration site of the Basskill Petroleum Company.
