The colored drill pipe, the rapid rotation, makes the bone-like derrick appear less lonely.

In the purification pond near the board room, streams of muddy water flowed out.

Through the glass of the board room, Sha Mingyan glanced at Su Cheng worriedly and said, "Su Dong, there is no sign of oil and gas yet." ”

"Can you do a stratigraphic test?" asked Su Cheng expectantly.

"The current situation doesn't make sense. Sha Mingyan shook his head heavily. Formation testing, also known as mid-course testing, is to take samples through a drill pipe tester at the end of the drill pipe in the middle of the process, which can detect oil and gas in advance. However, Well 12 does not even have a basic gas layer, and it is impossible to get good feedback from the mid-course test.

Sioux City wiped his chin and felt that it was extremely tricky.

He didn't expect the difficulty of oil well exploration. Well No. 7 failed, Well No. 8 failed in Chapter 127 Well Chung (two consecutive shifts), Well No. 9 was abandoned, and Well No. 10 failed...... Wells 11 and 12, which were drilled at the same time, are also not optimistic, and as far as the situation stands, the probability of oil production is still very low.

In just two months, the cost of 6 wells exceeded 20 million yuan. Because of Sioux City's policy of "not dripping oil into the sea", it overspent nearly one million yuan in environmental management fees.

In this way, the fishermen in front of him have also come to find trouble, some think that he has destroyed the fishing ground, some are worried that he has destroyed the fishing ground, and some think that he has damaged the feng shui, and so on, in some cases, it is inevitable to use money to get rid of it.

Officials and corporate figures such as Director He are also like looking at the flowers, starting from their own interests, or engaging in sales, or taking benefits......

Conflict. Just the little things.

What really made Sioux City anxious was that there was no trace of the oil fields. Not to mention crude oil, even gas has not been seen. This made him wonder if his memory was correct. Has some level of misunderstanding been generated?

However, nothing can be confirmed until the oil is produced.

In terms of time, two or three months is just the beginning of exploration. However, due to Sioux City's confidence and eagerness, the drilling progress of the three exploration teams was very fast, and the depth of drilling was increased in the 127th chapter of each well...... So. Costs are skyrocketing.

Thanks to the cheap cost of drilling wells in China, Sioux City used Shengli Oilfield's own exploration team. If it is still in the Middle East region of Iran and Iraq, the six wells will have to spend hundreds of millions of yuan. Even so, in the context of the overall weakening of the domestic economic environment. Shengli Oilfield's control over cash flow is also extremely strict, and Su Cheng guessed that Lin Yonggui would not be able to hold it back.

Well No. 12 may be the last well he can withstand.

Thinking of this, Sioux City took his gaze back. asked: "Lao Sha, has the exploration team of Well 10 been cleaned up?"

"I'm ready......"

"Let them move, a little faster. To the No. 12 well, drill immediately. ”

"Do you really keep fighting? move and prepare. It's a lot of money again. "Although I use the name of Chengdao No. 1 and Chengdao No. 10 as a logo. But in more than 4,000 square kilometers of land, each exploration well is not close to each other, and where there is no road, it is very troublesome to transport.

Su Cheng shook his head and said, "We must fight." ”

Sha Mingyan sighed heavily, he also knew that there was only one way to continue fighting.

If it continues, as long as the oil is out, the previous efforts will be compensated.

If it is stopped, the previous investment will become a pure loss. The loss of 20 million yuan? That was something that Lin Yonggui did not dare to hide.

Therefore, Sioux City must continue to fight until it can no longer raise a penny of money.

This is perhaps the biggest gamble in the world, where you can only keep betting until your hole cards are revealed, the stakes will get bigger and bigger, and there is no end in sight......

Many people, before they can see their hole cards, are dragged to death during the endless betting period.

Even in the Middle East, where the world's oil fields are most concentrated, there will be a situation where oil cannot be mined for several years, and from one exploration well to 20 exploration wells...... If you can't stick to the day when the oil is produced, no matter how big the oil reservoir is, it will just be a flower in the mirror, and there are not a few exploration companies that go bankrupt because of this. 、

Sha Mingyan has been an exploration captain for so many years, and it is not the first time he has encountered this kind of pressure. watched the cement pour down, watched the drill bits change one after another, and watched the banknotes flow out of the price...... However, no matter how many times you encounter it, this feeling of sitting on the mountain and eating the sky and fighting gold at sunrise is still terrifying.

Sha Mingyan admired Su Cheng's persistence, but he couldn't say words of comfort.

"If you don't have a big heart, don't get involved in the oil extractive industry. Su Cheng couldn't help it, so he came up with such a sentence to relieve the pressure, and then kept silent. In his heart, he is thankful for the good times. Although Shengli Oilfield limits costs, after all, it can continue to provide funds for him to continue to drill wells, and as a last resort, it can also borrow money from the state and banks. If it is replaced by a private mining company, the six oil wells will not produce oil, and it will be more comfortable to jump off the building.

"I'm going to ...... today"

Su Cheng was halfway through his words, and the ground shook violently.

From inside the board room, you can hear a "poof" sound, like a fart on the beach.

Sha Mingyan rushed to the glass for the first time, and saw the mud rising into the sky.

Sioux City took a step slower, and all he could hear was the workers shouting "The well is surging"!

Within seconds, another cry shouted "blowout".

(Fastest update) blowout!

Su Chengtou "buzzed" and was blindfolded.

In oil exploitation, the most terrible safety accident is a blowout. When drilling, the pressure in the ground is high and the pressure on the ground is small, so mud should be injected into the wellbore to balance the pressure. However, if the downhole density changes, or if the mud density is too small, a blowout will occur.

A large amount of underground toxic gases are uncontrollably spewed out of the wellhead, and if there are workers nearby, it is almost life-threatening.

If there is another spark, it will cause a fire.

The gray-white mud, like an ugly fountain, washed the derrick to the ground.

Fortunately, no flames were seen.

"What do you want!" Su Cheng grabbed Sha Mingyan's arm. He had never dealt with a blowout, and he could only count on Sha Mingyan at this time.

Sha Mingyan was also shocked. clenched his fists before he said: "Heavy mud, barite powder, a lot of heavy mud." I went out to command. ”

"Be careful. Sioux City only shouted. Start calling. He didn't know how much heavy mud and barite powder the exploration team had prepared, but when he didn't know the scale of the blowout, no amount of heavy mud should be.

In 1966, the Soviets used a 300,000-yield nuclear bomb to plug oil and gas wells in Uzbekistan. Because of other methods, they all failed.

If it weren't for the danger of the blowout, they would not have used nuclear weapons lightly.

Wang Jinxi's iron man name also comes from Jing Yong, which is about to blow out. When he was short of barite powder and did not have a mixer, he was forced to plug the wellhead with cement and use his body to stir the cement powder that had sunk to the bottom......

Sioux City picked up the phone. Call Wei Kong first. He is the deputy director of the office, and there is a tertiary production company below, so he can get a lot of barite powder and cement casually.

Telling Wei Kong not to leak the news of the "blowout", Su Cheng took out his telephone book again and called several shipyards and shipping companies along the coast. Because of the relationship between Jinan Power Engine Factory, he has contacts with these units, and it is more convenient to borrow their ships to transport materials.

Sioux City didn't want to cover up the news, he just wanted to delay for a few hours. It would be best if the blowout could be stopped. If not, find out the situation and countermeasures. There will also be fewer attacks.

In just ten minutes, Su Cheng's head was covered with hot sweat. Putting down the phone, he rushed out of the board room.

The beach was full of mud and cement splattering, and there was no mud falling from the sky. One of the exploration team members threw his helmet at him and hurried to the front.

"Are there any casualties?" Su Cheng walked to Sha Mingyan's side with difficulty.

"What are you doing here!" Sha Mingyan stomped his feet and shouted, "There are only three injured, one of whom had broken his ribs and was carried to the back, and the other two were bruised." ”

He pointed twice and shouted, "You go back first." ”

"I'm going to stay. Su Cheng shook his head stubbornly, and said: "At most, two hours later, barite powder and cement can be delivered, can you hold on?"

Sha Mingyan didn't answer, the blowout is like a small man-made volcanic eruption, and many times, it depends on the situation below, not the situation above.

For half a day and a night, everyone failed to close their eyes.

The next morning, Sioux City met with officials from the Bureau, two department-level cadres, and more than 20 workers who had come to help.

Director Tang Yang, who was in the lead, was polite on the surface, but his tone was very blunt: "Chairman Su, please go back to the management bureau first, and we will take over the scene." ”

"I'll stay. "Sioux City knew he couldn't go back. If you go back, there will only be "responsibility" for the blowout. It is impossible to take over the exploration work again.

6 wells were drilled, but there was no oil yet, and Su Cheng was unwilling to give up at this time. Moreover, I know with my knees that the successor will not drill wells in Chengdao again, and even in the next 10 or 20 years, no one will drill exploration wells in Chengdao.

In that case, not only will the exploration and discovery of the Chengdao oilfield be delayed indefinitely, but the exploration in other areas will be nothing more than a fearless waste of money.

With this idea, Sioux City's attitude of staying behind was extremely resolute.

Tang Yang persuaded two more words, but to no avail, Director Lan, who came with him, stood up and said, "Su Dong, we have an order to order you to go back to the management bureau for investigation." ”

"Whose order?"

"It's Secretary Tao's order. ”

Secretary Tao is the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission and is also responsible for the safety of the oilfield. Su Cheng hesitated for a moment and asked, "What about the documents?"

Director Lan was stunned for a moment, he thought that everything would be fine if he said the "order", and at this time he couldn't help but say: "The matter is urgent, it's a password." ”

Su Cheng exhaled lightly, turned his gaze to the suppressed oil well, and said, "The password is not good, I am an independent director of the China National Petroleum Corporation, and the two division chiefs want to step down from my post? ”

Tang Lan and the others couldn't force him, and, if you think about it carefully, the department-level cadres in the building didn't come, but they sent the two department-level cadres without giving written documents, which in itself can explain the attitude.

Director Lan gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go back and get it." ”

"Director Tang just go and get it, you and the workers are going to stay, ready to change the guard, everyone here has to go to the front line. ”

Tang Yang is obviously more sleek than Director Lan, and Su Cheng believes that with the help of Lin Yonggui, Wei Kong and others, he should be able to delay a little longer.

After he left Director Lan behind, he hurriedly found Sha Mingyan and said solemnly: "Adjust the muddy water as soon as possible and restore the circulation." ”

"Do you want to continue?" Shayan was startled.

"If there is a blowout, it means that there is a gas layer, and the water layer is abundant. As long as the blowout is cured, it is not an ordinary oil well. "Sioux City doesn't have time to pick the next well. He did not remember that the Chengdao Oilfield was the first few exploration wells to produce oil, but the Chengdao Oilfield had only 15 exploration wells preset. At this moment, since Well No. 12 already has signs of oil and gas, it can only continue to drill.

Sha Yanming calculated for a moment and said, "Give me two days......"

"Two days and one night, 36 hours, Lao Sha, please. After Su Cheng finished speaking, he turned around and went up to the platform. ！！！
