Chapter 374: Oil-bearing layer
"Su Dong, is the well finished?" Li Renjun urged again. More than 20 oil-bearing layers mean that more than 20 oil tests can be carried out, and there is a great chance of producing industrial flows.
Of course, there are many reasons for the formation of oil layers, and it is not that you can see oil when you see the oil layer, and most of the time, even in the oil areas with high production, there is no guarantee that there will be an industrial flow after testing 20 oil layers. The unlucky exploration team, who has worked for three or five years, may not have played an industrial stream.
However, there is indeed a good opportunity in front of him, the performance of the oil sands and the thickness of the oil bearing layer are very good, and if it were not for the fact that this is the first exploration well, Li Renjun himself would have ordered the completion of the well.
However, in an oil exploration, the first exploration well often has to be drilled a little deeper to fully understand the structure of the formation and the geology of the oil bearing area in Chapter 374. Professional geologists, through their continuous coring, can understand the underground situation, this is a very important exploration step, Li Renjun can not easily change it.
Between the fastest speed and the highest efficiency, Su Cheng hesitated for a moment, looked up and asked, "Can you continue drilling at night?"
It was getting late, and instead of completing the well at this time, it was better to buy another thousand hours of drilling time.
Li Renjun thought for a moment and said in a low voice: "There was a strong wind last night, and it is hard to say whether there will be wind tonight, I will personally be on duty at night to drill." ”
If the speed is fast, it can hit a depth of several hundred meters in more than ten hours, and a depth of more than 2,000 meters steadily. In this way, when this well is tested, other wells can also be supported by corresponding geological information, which can speed up the overall speed.
Su Cheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I'll accompany you." ”
Li Renjun was stunned for a moment, and immediately shook his head and said, "It's okay to have me on duty..." "Sioux City can't put all the pressure on him. The high winds at night are indeed terrible, but as long as you pay attention, there is no real danger. It's just that drilling in such cold weather is a bit too hard.
Chapter 374 Oil-bearing Layer Li Renjun was clumsy, and he didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only nod silently, and then urged everyone to speed up.
The sky was getting darker.
There are more and more bright stars in the sky.
It was a clear night.
The next day, 1105 degrees began to complete the cementing, and Sioux City also notified the temporary camp to let several technical experts come to support.
In the process of oil exploration, oil testing is both about technology and luck. Sometimes, the oil layer is clearly under the well, but the oil cannot be tested. Contaminated oil layers, lack of pressure, etc., can silence the oil that should be ejected.
Although oil buried deep in the ground has been of great help to mankind, every step from discovery to exploration, from exploration to extraction and pumping, from extraction to smelting, is full of risks.
As with all mature industries, the later you enter, the more pressure you will endure.
In the 50s, China began to enter the oil industry, and at the end of the 80s, it was barely able to reach the level of having its own system, and it was not until around 2000 that China's oil industry had world-class competitiveness.
Dahua Industrial stands on the shoulders of China's petroleum industry, two steps faster than PetroChina and other state-owned enterprises. However, in all aspects of the industry, the coverage rate of Dahua Industry is far less than that of the huge PetroChina.
For example, a professional oil testing team is not configured at all, and can only be undertaken by corresponding technical experts.
When the helicopter arrived with personnel and equipment, Sioux City returned to the makeshift camp.
Completion testing is a very stressful job, and it doesn't help Sioux City to stay there.
Speaking of which, the steps of oil testing are very similar to the hole filling operation that Suzhou City did in the Shengli Oilfield. The difference is that, after all, abandoned wells are oil wells that have had industrial flows. In contrast, whether oil can eventually be found below the well at South 2 is another question.
Even whether there are really oil reservoirs in the Kuwak area is not a 100% matter.
If you hit the unlucky 10%, no one can do anything. Those multinational companies with a history of 100 years have encountered this situation to some extent. As an old geological exploration technician, what I am most afraid of is this kind of bad luck.
Every time it is time to test the oil, Christians draw crosses, and there are many Buddhists "Amitabha". For example, overseas Chinese in Malaysia and Indonesia, while inviting scientists to do geological analysis at a large price, kneeling on the futon to eat fasting and chanting Buddha, and at the same time do not forget to offer pig's heads to passing gods...... That is no one dares to offend.
Despite all kinds of doubts, everyone's mood is generally good. When Su Cheng returned to the camp, he saw Qin Shiwei holding a big iron lump there to practice arm strength, and at the same time asked Su Cheng with a smile: "How is the situation?"
Sioux City said his request to delay the completion of the well for one night.
Qin Shiwei immediately nodded and said, "At that time, your decision was right. If the well was completed that night, it would be a waste of one night's time. Well, in this way, there is also great benefit to the other three wells. ”
If you fully understand the geology, you will be able to target.
Su Cheng thought for a moment and said, "I think about it, the second batch of wells can be started." ”
"Four more wells?"
"Now we are starting to prepare, drilling will start in three days, and by then, the information of the South No. 2 well will come out. Of course, whether the oil can be produced or not will have a result. If the oil is produced, this is the best, we win in the race to exploration, and after signing the contract, the second batch of wells will be converted to production wells. If there is no oil, then we have to prepare early. ”
Qin Shiwei hesitated for a moment, put down the big iron lump in his hand, and asked, "Do you think there is a good chance that the first batch of wells will produce oil?"
"It's big, the oil sands we found are very thick, and the oil-bearing layer is doing pretty well. "The collected mud was burned for more than 1 hour, and the oil and gas reaction was very obvious. ”
"In that case, is it possible to consider increasing the power of those three wells first. Qin Shiwei suggested: "The speed of our first well is faster than that of Xinma Group, the second well will take about the same time, and the third and third wells will definitely test slower than them." "If the first and second wells do not produce oil, the final result may appear in the third and fourth wells. The next four wells might as well be used as a backup. ”
Racing against time is a common occurrence in the process of exploration, not only racing exploration. Qin Shiwei actually has a lot of experience in grabbing speed.
In the domestic oil war, there will naturally be various kinds of competition. Geophysical prospecting bureaus and oil fields from all over the country have come to new places, and they always have to compare with each other. It's like the troops of different vassals on the battlefield, always fighting for the first achievement.
Wherever the drilling team discovers the oil first, there is no doubt that it is a famous and brilliant thing, not only an honor, but also a practical benefit. Qin Shiwei has also experienced this.
The difference is that the competition in the internal war must be managed and restricted in a unified manner, and it is not possible to lose money and make money. There is no limit to racing exploration, and the more you invest, the more necessary it is to continue to invest, and losing money can easily happen.
The method proposed by Qin Shiwei is simple, easy and effective.
Su Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Then add another unit of manpower to them to ensure that they can drill wells in an hour...... Well, the camping house and other living equipment also have to keep up, and the windy weather is really difficult.
Qin Shiwei is the chief dispatcher, and with the authorization of Su Cheng, he did it non-stop.
Not long after, Alexei also came to see Sioux City.
Li Zhengfu was about to stare at it, followed Alick in, and asked with a smile: "Su Dong personally went out and came back now, I think there is good news?"
He made it clear that he was here to find out the news. But instead of hitting the smiling man, Su Cheng only smiled faintly and said, "We found more than 20 oily layers. ”
Alixai stroked his palms and laughed, and said, "Then congratulations to Su Dong in advance." ”
If there is an industrial stream, the race is considered a success. Naturally, Alixese wants to see oil sooner.
Li Zhengfu kept smiling, as if he was talking to Alixe, and said with a smile: "The heavy magnetic point we selected has also found about 10 oil layers, and it will be able to be drilled soon, Su Dong should not let down his vigilance." ”
With the same oil field less than 100 kilometers apart, it is not surprising that two exploration wells are producing oil at the same time.
Su Cheng glanced at him and said with a smile: "10 oil layers, is it a depth of 1,000 meters?"
The geology of the same oil field is similar, and the depth of the other oil well can be inferred from the number of oil layers.
Li Zhengfu did not show weakness, and said with a smile: "It seems that Su Dong finished drilling at 2,000 meters? The depth of 2,000 meters is not large, I want to congratulate Mr. Alixai in advance, if this depth can produce oil, the cost will be very low." ”
"How many kilometres is the SMG ready to drill?"
Li Zhengfu squinted and smiled, and the lie came casually: "I don't know much about this, I seem to have heard a number, and I didn't write it down." ”
The deeper the oil well is drilled, the longer it takes to drill, but there are more oil layers and more opportunities for oil testing. Therefore, the decision of depth is very important.
Now that the decision has been made, the Singapore and Malaysia Group may also revise it according to the situation, just like Sioux City.
Seeing that Li Zhengfu didn't want to say it, Su Cheng didn't bother to force it, so he just smiled lightly.
Alixei laughed and said, "No matter what, thank you both." Recently, a few of my old friends have heard about Racing Exploration and have a good impression of Dahua Industrial, Xinma Group and Ito Trading. In two days, I will introduce them to you. ”
His old friend must have been a high-ranking official of the former Soviet Union or Russia who wanted to get involved in the oil fields. Li Zhengfu's eyes narrowed suddenly, and he said with a smile: "Thank you so much Mr. Alexey." You said two days, did you mean they would come to Kuwak?"
"No matter how beautiful it is, it can't compare to the golden reality. After the Kuwak field can produce oil, they will decide to enter the oil industry. Alikses paused for a moment, then smiled again: "Several of my old friends are people with status, much more powerful than those in the Tyumen oil field now, you will know after you see them." ”!!!
