Two suggestions in a row were not adopted by Su Cheng, Gu Haijian couldn't help but look at himself, and then found that the arguments were not well prepared.

The initial location of the No. 503 offshore drilling platform was not selected on the basis of the No. 1 producing well, and now it is not very appropriate to assume that the two occupy the same oil layer or oil field.

Gu Haijian was also constrained by inherent experience, and after reflection, he became much calmer.

It is a very laborious work, and the complexity is no less than that of ancient cannons, and Li Hu and others can't get up quickly if they want to.

At this juncture, the rapid response team of the Offshore Oil Research Institute also faxed the analysis report.

Gu Haijian ignored the "squeaky rattle" noise, and when he got the fax, he read it as if no one was around, and after reading what he had in hand, he stayed by the fax machine and waited.

It took almost a quarter of an hour for Gu Haijian to sort out the information in it completely, and then personally composed the picture on the computer, and after feeling that it was perfected, he found Su Cheng and said, "Su Dong, I have an idea." ”

"Huh?"

"We analysed the geology of the downhole and combined it with potential data...... I think that in the 3,300 meters where oil flowers were seen, no oil reservoirs were found, and it is very likely that the oil and gas layer is too thin, or the oil and gas reservoir with fractures is Xìng, and the exposed area of the oil and gas layer must be increased. So, the best way is to drill another horizontal well through multiple fractures, this is the analysis report made by colleagues at the institute. Gu Haijian put a stack of completed analysis reports in front of Su Cheng.

Sioux City didn't immediately flip through it, but asked, "What do you mean?" Giving up the 2,800-meter prediction and focusing on the 3,300-meter? ”

"If it is a narrow fracture type reservoir, it is better to use horizontal wells. It is normal that the success rate of shè holes is not high. Gu Haijian was slightly excited.

Sioux City looked out the window, the blue sea had become calm, the sun had become warm and not dazzling, and it would not be too long before dusk was coming.

"If we had drilled a horizontal well, we wouldn't have been able to do it today. Sioux spoke out about his concerns. I invited so many people to watch it, and I went back with nothing. It's not always pretty.

"If the location is chosen correctly and the crack is not too deep, it will be very fast. Gu Haijian paused. He continued: "Oil extraction is not apple picking, so it's not surprising that you can't see it on the same day, although it's cool to see crude oil right away, but. I think everybody will understand. ”

During the drilling of No. 503. Su Cheng and the others have already made mistakes several times. But, as Gu Haijian said, these are nothing.

When you can't see the real situation underground, you can only rely on various specious drilling theories to guide you. However, the Earth's interior is so complex that until now, no oil theory has been able to perfectly cover the entire process and all areas of oil drilling.

So, in the process of drilling. Making mistakes is the norm.

Mistakes are made again and again, and corrections are made again and again. Eventually get the oil wells, or, just sink in failure.

The oil industry is very similar to other industries, everyone has the qualifications to make mistakes, but every time they make mistakes, they increase the implicit pressure. Drilling under pressure, avoiding mistakes, and ultimately getting the crazy joy of seeing crude oil.

Su Cheng was silent for a long time, then picked up the faxed analysis report and looked through it carefully, and finally, when the drilling team's other shè hole failed, Fang Cheng bowed his head and said, "You call Li Hu." ”

Gu Haijian grabbed the phone excitedly.

Su Cheng leaned back slightly and whispered to Yang Ming: "Prepare dinner and supper, I'm going to stay late today." ”

"Ah, don't you send everyone to land?".

"Without seeing the oil fields, the futures matter cannot be finally negotiated, and for such a big business, I believe they should stay for another night. Su Cheng said so, but still gave a brief explanation to the senior management of each company.

Insider trading is usually very profitable, and there are a lot of cases where hundreds of millions of dollars go back and forth. In particular, large transactions such as crude oil can often be windfall due to their large volumes.

The main purpose of the seven companies being able to gather here is for this insider trade.

Seeing the production of Dahua Oilfield with your own eyes is very necessary in every aspect.

"Just rest on the boat for the night. Gilles of Finer was the first to respond, and the others agreed in turn.

They returned to Baku to talk about business, but those businesses were far less than the opportunities in front of them.

Li Hu was also exhausted after the successive failures, and quickly agreed to Gu Haijian's reasonable suggestion.

In fact, the horizontal well was originally the ultimate version of the shè hole, which was the 90-degree state of the inclined well once proposed by the deputy captain, but the position determined by Gu Haijian and the deputy captain was different.

After more than an hour of retooling, the rig rumbled again.

Outside the window, it was already a hazy black sè.

"Come and have some fish, we have the best local chef. Yang Ming deliberately warmed up the atmosphere and brought the whole plate of fresh fish to the command cabin.

Sailors and other staff members also took turns to come to the dinner.

"The environment on the ship is simple, our main method is to grill, different fish choose different temperatures and seasonings, a small part of the fish is boiled in water, added sauce, you can choose at will. Yan Xuecan took up the work of a logistics chef, running around the room with a spoon, and brought out a whole plate of sashimi after a while.

Fresh sashimi tastes excellent, and it's not just rìben or ancient Chinese food, but with the cultural export of rìben, it is in demand all over the world, especially among people who travel all year round, and this scary-sounding food is quite popular at first glance. Of course, there will be no shortage of picky people, and a large number of Europeans and Americans are reluctant to eat animal offal.

In addition to food, wine is best used as a companion. Aged single malt whiskey, Soviet-era vodka, classic vintage red and white wines, quickly make everyone forget the noise in their ears.

Sioux City picked a 20-year-old whiskey and sipped it slowly.

After dusk, the people who had worked all day naturally fell silent. A few guys who drank too much muttered and talked, and it would change into Chinese.

Whether it's Spanish or French. Or Portuguese or something, Sioux City can't understand it at all, even English, he can only say that he is proficient, whoever quotes an Othello, it definitely belongs to playing the piano to the cow, but. There are always a few extremely talented guys who can speak the foreign languages of four or five countries, and at this time they are comfortable with a wine glass.

For this kind of natural world manager. Others only have envy.

There are no simple guys who can do the high-level of the oil industry, and private conversations can show their own strength.

Gu Haijian came to Su Cheng with a glass of red wine, facing the brightly lit drilling platform. He said in a low voice: "The chance of seeing oil in horizontal wells is very high. ”

This sentence. It wasn't so much about Sioux City as he was comforting himself.

Today, his two suggestions were not adopted by Su Cheng, but the third suggestion was made in the opposite direction of his first two suggestions, although it was adopted by Su Cheng, but if it failed again, Gu Haijian himself would feel embarrassed.

The subtle emotions were amplified under the effect of the wine jīng, and Gu Haijian couldn't help but say it.

Su Cheng laughed twice. Turning his glass, he said, "What I would most like to see is to see crude oil before noon." In this way, you can have a nice banquet in the afternoon, and in the evening you will be able to return to Baku and immediately hold a press conference......"

Seeing Gu Haijian's strange gaze, Su Cheng shook his head and said, "Otherwise, where do you think the wine and food came from." Unfortunately, the situation that I wanted most did not happen, and the second situation I hoped for was to see the crude oil today, and then I could go back to Baku and have a press conference and a party at the same time, and you saw ......"

"Su Dong. ”

"I don't blame you. Su Cheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "When you see crude oil, it's a political issue, it's a public relations issue, it's not a technical issue, and it's not a drilling issue that needs to be prioritized." Oil companies, oil extraction is the most important thing, without crude oil, we have no qualifications to survive...... Don't take other things too seriously. ”

Only then did Gu Haijian understand that Su Cheng was comforting himself.

He couldn't help but feel weird, and said secretly: How is the chairman's comfort a little weird.

"It's windy. Su Cheng's hand stretched out the railing, looked at the dark sea, and said, "It seems to be raining." ”

"There are often strong winds here at night, and if it exceeds level 5, you have to consider stopping the drilling work, but fortunately there will be no storms recently. Gu Haijian also stretched out his hand as he spoke, feeling it in the air, and suddenly said, "It's sticky rain." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the rig, which was still humming and roaring, stopped.

"Is it because the wind is too fast?". This was Gu Haijian's first sentence. His eyes immediately went up to the flagpole.

The wind is indeed very strong, but it is impossible to exceed level five, Gu Haijian squinted his eyes and said: "Even level four is relatively reluctant, is it because you are worried about the storm?"

Without saying a word, Su Cheng put his fingers to his nose, rubbed them, and said with a surprised face: "Sweet." ”

"Sweet oil!" Gu Haijian cried out in surprise.

For oil people, sweet crude oil with low sulfur content is the highest pursuit.

On the deck, more than half of the people raised their heads.

In an instant, they felt the charm of sweet oil.

Because crude oil rained down from the sky, on the ship, on the clothes, on the head, on the face......

The phone in the command room not far away rang out the "jingle bell" that was unwilling to be lonely.

Sioux City covered his eyes with his hands and looked in the direction of the offshore drilling platform.

With its back to the light source, there seems to be a twisted fountain doing a low-key show.

Below the light source, a group of drilling workers, waving their clothes, shouted, "We've found it......!"

More and more people shouted, and the voices became clearer and clearer, accompanied by the wind.

Dahua's employees stayed for a while, and then they also shouted.

Su Cheng put his finger under his nose again, sniffing lightly at the sweet smell. However, if you smell the same smell for a long time, you will ignore the smell and only remember the sweetness in it.

Gu Haijian also stayed for a while, then turned around and squeezed away from the crowd, ran into the back cabin, and carefully removed a piece of oil droplets from his body.

The rear cabin had ready-made experimental equipment, enough for him to analyze the composition of crude oil to determine whether Dahua had found an oil well or a new oil field.

…… (To be continued......)

ps: After staying up late, I can't slow down for a day or two, and the efficiency of codewords during the day is very low.

Today I also had the most terrifying dream of human beings: struggling desperately, then getting up, brushing my teeth and washing my face, turning on the computer and opening the word, and then waking up to find that I was still lying in bed, it was a dream.
