Chapter 191: Blowout (II)
It's going to be on the shelves tonight, after midnight. So this chapter is the last chapter of the public chapter. The public version of 440,000 words, Xiaomo is worthy of his brothers and sisters, and when it is put on the shelves, please support Xiaomo more!
With the whistling sound of the eruption of a volcano, the derrick up to dozens of meters high began to shake violently, and the next moment, the first thick drill pipe began to twist irregularly in an instant, and the drilling rig connected to the derrick seemed to be slapped by the ancient Beamon divine beast, and the drilling rig weighing several tons suddenly flew up and landed on the ground more than 20 meters away.
Subsequently, without the support of the drilling rig, the drill pipes that originally stretched into the wellhead were ejected from the wellhead like matches, and the highest drill pipe was even sprayed to a height of forty or fifty meters by the pressure of the well
When the last drill pipe was sprayed out, a stream of turbid mud suddenly gushed out from under the ground, directly sprayed into the air more than 40 meters high, and then, those turbid mud was like hail, crackling and smashed on the ground in a radius of hundreds of square meters near the wellhead, and even Tang Feng, who was forty or fifty meters away from the wellhead, also fell a lot of mud.
This level of mud gushing is already amazing, but if you want to compare it with the eruption that followed, the current mud gushing can only be regarded as drizzle.
The big guys may have seen the fountain show in Fountain Square, and often there will be a main fountain in this fountain show, whether it is the height or thickness of the fountain sprayed, it is much larger than those secondary fountains.
If these mud gushes are only equivalent to the gushing of those auxiliary fountains, then the next crude oil blowout is called a real spectacle!
After all, the density of mud is much greater than that of crude oil, so although the pressure in the well is very high, at most the mud in the well can only be sprayed to a height of about 40 meters.
After the mud gushed out for about ten seconds, I saw that the color of the liquid gushing out of the wellhead suddenly changed, from yellow mud to black crude oil.
It seems that it has been buried underground for hundreds of millions of years, which makes these swarthy guys very angry, or because after hundreds of millions of years of waiting, these black guys have finally found a gap that can erupt to their heart's content, so the crude oil erupted from the wellhead at this time is not something that can be stopped by manpower at all.
The black crude oil formed a black liquid column more than 60 meters high in the air, until the gravitational force of the earth exceeded the power of the rising crude oil, and these black crude oil formed a black canopy in the air more than 60 meters high, and then under the action of the earth's gravity, it returned to the embrace of Mother Earth again.
“Whatthef.u.ck!” The head stared blankly at the oil column that was more than sixty meters high, and muttered to himself.
The head is also well-informed, but such a violent blowout has never been seen by the head in the past few decades. When he was at Canada's First Quantum, he had surveyed many oil and gas fields, but even he had never seen an oil column that could spray more than 60 meters in the air, nor had he heard that a blowout could spray crude oil to such a high height.
Historically, any oil well that has experienced a violent blowout has often indicated the emergence of a high-production well. For example, in 1913, the No. 4 well of Cerro Azel in the Golden Lane oil area of Mexico set a world high-yield record that has not been broken so far, and when the blowout of the 550-meter-deep oil well occurred at that time, the oil column was as high as 51 meters, and after the blowout was controlled, the well turned out to be a super oil well with a daily output of 37,140 tons!
In August 1956, there was a blowout at Well Albau No. 5 near Qom, Iran, with an uncontrolled crude oil spewing height of 52.1 meters, about 19,000 tons of crude oil per day, and a pressure of up to 62 megapascals; in the mid-60s of the 20th century, Iran's Gachisaran No. 35 well set a high production record of 13,000 tons per day at the beginning, and it was constantly sprayed, and the daily output remained at 11,000 tons after six years of stable production.
Once these particularly "spraying" oil wells are controlled, they are often extremely high-yield wells, with a daily output of 10,000 tons. However, even those super oil wells have never heard of the initial blowout of that well that can spray crude oil to a height of more than 60 meters!
What does this mean?
"Could it be that a super oil well that broke the world record is about to be born under his own hands?"
Even the head swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva at this sudden thought, and his eyes began to heat when he looked at the oil well that was gushing outward.
"Boss, it's a record! It's a record! Johnny laughed and ran over, holding a piece of printer paper in his hand, which clearly recorded the various data of the well.
"The depth of the well is 3002.4 meters, the bottom temperature is 120 degrees Celsius, the outlet oil temperature is 75 degrees Celsius, the pressure is 83.1 megapascals, and the height of the oil column sprayed out of the eight-inch tubing is 66.8 meters!" If this data is true, then it can be said with great certainty that there must be a super oil field connected to this oil well, otherwise there would be no such great pressure!
And don't forget, this well uses eight-inch tubing!
In 1991, Kuwait's oil fields were destroyed by Iraq, and 732 wells caught fire. At that time, Huaxia's fire brigade extinguished the fire in 10 of the wells, all of which were 10,000-ton high-yield wells. Among them, the second well has a daily oil injection of about 20,000 tons; The fifth well, that is, the BG-42 well in the area of the No. 8 oil collection station, is sprayed freely with a 7-inch tubing, the oil column is more than 50 meters high, and the daily emission is about 25,000 tons!
And this oil well with an eight-inch tubing is not only larger in diameter than the extra-high-production well in the Kuwait oil field, but also has a higher column of oil jet, what does this mean?
The head took the printer paper, and like Johnny, he laughed and ran to Tang Feng's side, handed the paper to Tang Feng, and said with a smile: "Tang, this well is eight out of ten. Jiuhui will become a single high-yield oil well that breaks the world record, according to the current situation, if this oil well is controlled, maybe the daily production of this well will exceed 40,000 tons! ”
Tang Feng had already expected this situation, and the reason why Tang Feng insisted on letting the head of them get down the eight-inch oil pipe was to prevent the oil yield from not being enough. As a result, after using an eight-inch tubing, this well is still so capable of spraying!
Nodding with a smile, and after wiping a handful of mud that fell on his face, Tang Feng said: "Boss, no matter what, control the blowout first, such a violent blowout is too dangerous, it's better to control it as soon as possible!" ”
The head nodded and turned back to Clark and said, "Clark, immediately organize personnel to control the blowout, but you must be careful, this little guy's temper is very short-tempered, and the pressure of more than eighty megapascals is not a joke!" ”
Clark nodded, turned back to greet the already dressed commandos, pulled off the mask of his helmet, and led the way to the well.
Now the blowout is not the same as the previous blowout, the blowout occurred before, it is the method of mud reinjection to kill the well, and now with the more and more advanced technology, as early as the first surface casing, the wellhead will be placed on the blowout preventer, as long as the blowout preventer is completely closed, the well can be temporarily sealed, and then the blowout can be controlled by the regular kill method.
As long as the well is successfully killed and other follow-up work is done, then the well is considered complete.
