Beauty.. The country is in favor of small enterprises and small individuals to re-exploit old oil wells, so it is beautiful. State Politics.. The government allows such auctions. Although it is said that there is still a bunch of taxes to be paid after buying, at least the ownership of the oil field can be temporarily taken into hands, as long as the partner's wrist is hard enough, even if the resources explored are too shocking and beautiful... State Politics.. The government will not do anything.

The auction is presided over by a medium-sized auction company, and the seats are similar to a banquet, which does not look like a sword and sword auction site, but rather a very peaceful... Harmonious banquet scene.

Liu Fei found a clean place and found that the young man next to him was not William Rockefeller, whom he met a few days ago.

William Rockefeller and Liu Fei both chose to remain silent, both knew that it was not appropriate to say anything here, one was the heir of the oil tycoon, and the other was a new generation of Genesis scientists, and it would be terrible if the identities of both sides were leaked.

In fact, if there is a very intimate conversation between the two people, it will definitely become the headlines of the next day.

The oil tycoon, of course, produces all kinds of oil and its derivatives, and this scientist is studying what consumes petroleum products......

……

The auction of oil wells is not a big deal, it is just the place where the auctioneer calls out the oil well, briefly introduces the data of the oil well, and then there is no then. Now it's the turn of the auction stage, if no one raises the price, then the well will be declared unauctioned.

The auctioneer replaced the next picture and began to introduce only this picture: "This is the seventh commodity in the auction, and it is also the best value commodity in this auction, there are a total of ten oil wells in this oil well group. Eight oil wells, with one ten. Eight-inch oil pipelines. The auction of this oil well complex will include a farm covering an area of 2,500 acres and a villa complex covering an area of 2,000 square meters with an actual floor area of more than 20,000 square meters...... The reserve price is $20 million, with $250,000 per well and $18 million for farms. Each increase cannot be less than $100,000. ”

The auctioneer was constantly showing off his eloquence, but everyone below had to start yawning.

As soon as the auctioneer stopped, Liu Fei raised his sign: "Two million dollars." ”

No one followed, Liu Fei's whole person was a little cute, and the Rockefeller on the side hurriedly.. Whispered, "Man, are you crazy?" This oil well group is something that Mobil Oil has been auctioned here for three years, and it is a product that no one wants after several auctions, and there can be no oil, so you should think about something else. ”

Liu Fei smiled very confidently and said, "Don't worry, I'm sure of myself, I believe my luck will bless me." ”

After auctioning the oil well, Liu Fei and Rockefeller left the auction house, and Rockefeller was obviously very uncomfortable, and repeatedly offered Liu Fei to give him the oil well, and he returned the money to Liu Fei. Liu Fei smiled and said, "Don't worry, William, maybe in three or five days, you can see the situation of our cooperation." Now the international oil price though

It is falling, but oil is not a renewable energy source after all, and before new energy is developed, the price of oil will eventually rise, as long as your Mobil can eat my crude oil. ”

Rockefeller was very worried, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only promise Liu Fei, and promised that if Liu Fei drilled oil, then Mobil could take it all.

Soon Liu Fei completed all the formalities, and then began to contact the exploration team, but before that, Liu Fei first took 100 billion tons of highly compressed oil from the space warship, which is equivalent to about 136 billion barrels of crude oil, but not all the crude oil can be mined underground, only about a quarter can be extracted, that is to say, Liu Fei can develop 25 billion tons of crude oil, or 34 billion barrels of crude oil, which is already comparable to Saudi Arabia's recoverable capacity.

In addition, natural gas is also very concerned by Liu Fei, which is a relatively clean energy source. Fortunately, the space warship did not obtain enough raw materials, so it produced a lot of natural gas, but it was a high-compression liquefied natural gas (LNG), Liu Fei got 36 trillion cubic meters of natural gas, which is nearly equivalent to the natural gas reserves surveyed by the flower family in 1993, although it is not a lot, but compared to a group of oil wells, this is simply very huge.

……

Liu Fei put all these things in a big oil bubble 4,000 meters underground, and this oil bubble was under the oil bubble at 3,000 meters, and the oil well stopped when it reached 3,000 meters, and there were still about 40 billion barrels of crude oil in the 3,000 meter that could not be developed. That's the relationship between crude oil reserves and recoverable reserves, and there are many reserves that can't be mined, otherwise the ground might fall because there's no support underneath – and then there's a lot of fun.

……

The exploration team that Liu Fei contacted was an experienced (flag) exploration team, which belonged to the explorer exploration team under Mobil Oil Company, and most of the personnel of this exploration team came from the military, and the style of the army was naturally retained. These people are very rigorous, Liu Fei even suspects that these people are "retired" from the special forces, but they themselves claim to be retired from the combat engineering unit, that is, those who specialize in holding bombs. Combat sappers who bomb pillboxes in pillboxes. Liu Fei was even more relieved, the combat engineer is a very powerful type of person, even more powerful than any airborne soldier, because the combat engineer needs to carry dangerous bombings. Medicine packets or flameshowers... Shooters go to the front to fight......

Liu Fei looked at the drilling rig that was drilling down very worriedly, and asked Stephenson, who was in charge of drilling: "Don't cause a blowout, how do you prevent a blowout?" ”

Stephenson looked at Liu Fei with a look of disbelief, and said very calmly: "Don't worry, our drilling rig has an anti-blowout device, as long as a blowout occurs, seal the cover." This place seems to be the kind of interlayer reservoir with an air roof, no bottom water, no water-bearing interlayer, and not easy to collapse, so we used a drilling rig with better sealing performance. ”

As a result, as he spoke, the drilling rig suddenly stopped drilling, Liu Fei was very strange, and Stephenson was very surprised, but he still shouted loudly over there: "Stephen, quickly turn on the blowout ......" As he spoke, Stephenson pulled his legs and ran over there.

As a result, before Stephenson's voice fell, the gas sprayed out of the gap between the drill pipe and the casing became faster and faster, and the "hissing" sound became more and more sharp, and soon it almost became a huge noise made by supersonic fighters passing at low altitudes.

&nb

sp; Stephenson changed his movements: "All personnel evacuate, prepare fire prevention equipment!" Prepare the well kill materials, all he.. Mother.. It's going to blow out!! ”

You know, there's not a small oil field down into this ranch! 3.4 billion tonnes of crude oil and 30 billion. Six trillion cubic meters of natural gas were enclosed by Liu Fei in a large oil bubble, and the pressure below could be imagined.

A man ran from the tent in the distance, shouting as he ran: "Stephenson, the pressure in the well is very high, and now it has exceeded 120 megapascals, let the brothers stay away, this blowout ......"

Before he could finish his words, the original sharp scream was amplified by an unknown number of times, so that no one else could hear this person's words, and everyone's ears were filled with the scream of this Stuka swooping down.

The next moment, what happened at the wellhead surprised everyone: with a terrifying scream, the drilling rig actually flew up to an altitude of 140 meters, and a large amount of muddy mud spewed out.

(Flying higher than the flying elevator of the "Enterprise" ~~~ Drilling rig: I want to fly to the sky and shoulder to shoulder with the sun~~~)

When the last drill pipe was sprayed out, more mud sprayed out, and the muddy mud began to crackle and fall on the ground near the wellhead in a radius of nearly 1,000 square meters, and even Liu Fei, who was nearly 50 meters away from the wellhead, was hit by the mud in several places.

The crude oil blowout behind it was even more terrifying, and it directly sprayed up to an altitude of more than 140 meters, forming a very trenched canopy. You know, this is a ten-inch tubing!

The BG-42 well in the No. 8 oil gathering station area of the Kuwait oil field was only sprayed to more than 50 meters with a seven-inch hose, and the daily discharge volume was about 25,000 tons. What does it mean that this 10-inch tubing well not only has a larger diameter than Kuwait's extra-productive well, but also spews higher crude oil at a higher height?

[10 inches is 254 mm, 7 inches is 177.8 mm. According to the formula of circular area, we can find β–³s = s large - s small = Ο€ * 5^2 - Ο€ * 3.5^2 = 12.75Ο€ square inches - that is, if the difference in flow velocity is 1 inch per second, then it is a difference of 12.75 cubic inches. But being able to spray up to 140 meters is definitely not something that can be done in 1 inch per second. Suppose the density of crude oil is 0.9 grams per cubic centimeter, which is 900 kilograms per cubic meter, and then spray 900 kilograms of something to 140 meters, it takes work = gh = mgh = 900 kg * 9.8 Newtons per kilogram * 140 meters = 1,234,800 watts β‰ˆ 1235 kilowatts...... In comparison, the early model of the Twin Hornet engine had a power output of less than 1,470 kW ......]

[Then the velocity of the crude oil falling from the sky can be seen as v = root (2x9.8x140), and then ...... Even a decrease in speed to a quarter due to air resistance is terrifying. 】

Stephenson started the group right away. Weaving on-site work: "Clark, you take Johnson to group at once.. Weaver hand control blowout. Be careful, this little guy has a very short temper, and the pressure of more than a hundred megapascals is no joke! ”

Because the BOP has been installed at the surface casing, these people only need to cover the BOP very carefully and there is no problem.

As long as the well is successfully killed and other follow-up work is completed, then this extraordinarily high-yield well will be completed.
