Chapter 697 Placement of Oil and Gas Reservoirs

These seven days have given Tang Feng an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

Not to mention, the star core of the whole body is energetic when it works! It is far from being comparable to the incomplete work of the past. If it were to replace the previous incomplete body, it would be impossible to even think about it if it took three months to survey more than half of the South China Sea and condense the two super oil reservoirs with such huge reserves.

And now, the fourth-level star core of the complete body, after completing these two tasks, it only took a week, including the time that Tang Feng rested for a day!

When Tang Feng walked out of the hut, the storm had just ended, the sky was extraordinarily blue, and the sea water was extraordinarily clear.

Standing on the pier of Fiery Cross Reef, the oldest marine survey station, looking north, what was once an area of clear blue water has now been transformed into an artificial island with a length of more than 3,500 meters and a width of 800 meters at its widest point.

This is definitely a miracle of land reclamation project, you know, it is more than 1,500 kilometers away from Qiong Island, and almost all the materials here are transported from Qiong Island, but this long distance has not stopped the Chinese people from transforming Fiery Cross Reef, and it only took two years to make this Fiery Cross Reef, which originally had only a small reef, become a permanent island!

The renovation of Fiery Cross Reef and the seven brother islands and reefs around Fiery Cross Reef is still in progress, and it will not be long before a real island group will be formed around Fiery Cross Reef, not a reef group, which will become a bridgehead for China to truly control the South China Sea.

Standing on this pier, which was about 60 meters deep into the ocean, Tang Feng ignored the splashing waves that wet his clothes, but his heart was full of infinite emotion.

Before coming, Tang Feng had deliberately learned about Fiery Cross Reef. Before the establishment of the marine observatory at the foot, it was usually just a reef with an area of less than one meter above sea level and less than three square meters in size.

Tang Feng also saw that old photo, it was an old black and white photo, and Tang Feng didn't know what year it was taken. In that photograph, right next to the reef that protrudes from the sea, is a shed made of bamboo and wood, supported by more than a dozen bamboos, and on that shed, a five-star red flag raised with a bamboo pole is erected, and there are three people dressed as ordinary people

Fiery Cross Reef was like that, usually just a small piece of reef outcropping, even at low tide. Also outcropping out of the sea is a small coral reef that is not very large.

But on this coral reef, the Chinese people used their hands to turn this place into what it is now. From a reef with an area of only a few square meters 30 years ago, it has become an ocean observatory of more than 8,000 square meters, and now, it has become an island with 2.8 square kilometers of permanent land!

This spirit is worthy of Tang Feng's admiration and pride.

It was after witnessing the miracle of Fiery Cross Reef that Tang Feng came up with the idea of emptying the oil and gas resources of the southern half of the South China Sea in one go.

The ordinary people and soldiers of Huaxia were able to build a permanent island for Huaxia with their hands. Then we Tang Feng will use our skills to create a super giant oil field for our motherland that is enough to use for decades!

After standing on the dock and sighing for a while. Tang Feng turned around and walked back to the barracks, and then, accompanied by Li Baoguo, walked around the newly built Fiery Cross Island, and after admiring the brand-new island up close, he was ready to sail away from the island.

Tang Feng returned to Sansha in three days, after a short rest in Sansha. Continue to sail back to the end of the world.

Back at Tianya, Tang Feng borrowed a Land Rover from the local authorities and went all the way north from Tianya, along the highway to the north of Qiong Island.

Before Tang Feng returned to Qiongdao, he had already thought about the location of the two super oil and gas reservoirs. In the beginning. Tang Feng also wanted to place the oil and gas reservoirs transported from the southern part of the South China Sea in the waters east of Beibu Gulf or Qiongdao, that is, between Qiongdao and Dongsha.

The reason for this is that although the sea area near Qiongdao is an offshore continental shelf and the depth is also suitable for the operation of offshore oil and gas wells, this sea area is a typhoon-prone area, and it experiences at least 10 typhoons a year.

Although offshore platforms are not afraid of typhoons, the placement of oil and gas fields in typhoon-prone areas is obviously not in line with the principle that Tang has always adhered to, that is, safety first, and the highest profits with the lowest extraction costs. No matter what you say, the cost of exploitation of offshore oil and gas wells is higher than that of onshore oil and gas wells, so Tang Feng thought about it and simply decided to directly place these two super oil and gas reservoirs on the main island of Qiongdao.

However, if we want to place these two super oil and gas reservoirs covering an area of more than 3,000 square kilometers and a thickness of more than 1,500 meters on the main island of Qiongdao, then we have to consider many things, the least of which is to consider the safety of groundwater in Qiongdao.

Although Qiongdao is the second largest island in China and has abundant surface freshwater resources, groundwater is also an extremely precious resource, so if it can not destroy groundwater resources, Tang Feng will never destroy it.

Qiongdao has abundant groundwater resources, but most of these groundwater resources are concentrated around Qiongdao, and the largest underground natural reservoir is Qiongkou, the provincial capital of Qiongdao. In addition, there are large groundwater sources in the northwest, south and southeast of Qiong Island.

If Tang Feng wanted to place these two super oil and gas reservoirs, he had to at least avoid the six large groundwater sources on Qiong Island, so after thinking about it, Tang Feng decided to place these two super oil and gas reservoirs in the northeast of Qiong Island.

Specifically, it is an area of about 5,000 square kilometers from the east of the Nandu River to the coastline.

Of course, for the sake of exploitation, it is best to avoid the cities in this area, so Tang Feng plans to place the two reservoirs separately, one oil and gas reservoir in the area north of Anding and Bamen Bay, and the other oil and gas reservoir, Tang Feng plans to place it in the area between Tunchang and Qionghai.

The distance between these two reservoirs is not far, only about 20 kilometers, and in the area between these two super reservoirs, it is possible to build an industrial belt dominated by petrochemicals.

As long as these two reservoirs are settled, it is foreseeable that once these two reservoirs are discovered, the world will be immediately shocked!

Now that the resettlement site has been decided, after Tang Feng arrived in these two areas, he did not rest at all, but directly carried out the transportation work, spending more than ten days to place the two super oil and gas reservoirs that were 1,600 kilometers away in these two areas 5,000 meters below the surface of the surface (to be continued). )
