Chapter 581 3.2% and 400 million tons

As mentioned earlier, the mainland and the oil and gas fields are produced because of the transport role of rivers.

It is precisely because of the continuous flow of rivers on these continents that a large number of organic matter on the continent continue to be brought into the marine continental shelf, so that the continental shelf has the most basic conditions for the production of oil and gas reservoirs.

But these rivers also have side effects, because they bring too much sediment every year, resulting in too thick sedimentary layers on the continental shelf on the eastern edge of the South American continent, and according to the survey of the star core, the thickness of the sedimentary layer in some places is even more than 15 kilometers! This is an extremely rare thickness on the continental shelves of other continents.

The whole world knows that the continental shelf on the eastern edge of the South American continent is an excellent continental shelf, but unfortunately, the probability of finding oil and gas fields on this continental shelf is not high, and it is only in the sea area close to the coastline that some oil and gas fields of small scale can be found.

Why is this happening? Quite simply, most of the oil and gas fields are hidden by heavy sedimentary layers. And according to the survey of the star core, most of these oil and gas fields are buried under sedimentary layers more than 8 kilometers thick.

However, with the current human exploration technology at sea, it is simply impossible to drill the exploration well into the rock formation below 8,000 meters in the ocean, so it is normal that these oil and gas reservoirs cannot be discovered.

However, although there are many oil and gas reservoirs on this continental shelf, it seems that the reserves are not very large, like the Leaves ran for a day, ran out about 400 kilometers, Tang Feng discovered no less than 100 large and small oil and gas reservoirs, but the largest oil and gas reservoir has a storage capacity of only more than 30 million tons.

Of course, if you put all these reservoirs together, a super oil field with reserves of more than one billion tons is in place!

Tang Feng wrote down the coordinates and locations of these oil and gas reservoirs, let the yacht drop anchor, and prepared to spend the night in this place.

Tang Feng didn't want to move on at night. Because of the need to rest, it is impossible to start the exploration process of the observation core during the rest, which can easily leak many oil and gas reservoirs.

After dinner at nine o'clock in the evening, Tang Feng smoked two cigarettes on the deck, breathed in the fresh sea breeze, and then got into his cabin again. I still have work to do in the evening.

The situation discovered during the day today made Tang Feng change his itinerary. If this is the case with the oil and gas reservoirs on the continental shelf, then the itinerary will have to be changed.

Originally, Tang Feng wanted to use this trip to find several large oil and gas reservoirs on the continental shelf, that is, the kind of oil and gas reservoirs that could not be smaller than the Beaumont Oilfield at least, and then after determining the location, after returning to the farm in the Gulf of Anegada, he would use the function of star core transportation to move all the large oil and gas reservoirs found to the vicinity of the waters of the Gulf of Anegada.

Tang Feng thought very well. But the truth gave Tang Feng a stick very ruthlessly.

If the oil and gas reservoirs on the continental shelf are the same as those found during the day today, then it is simply impossible to use the function of star core transportation to concentrate all these fragmented oil and gas reservoirs together.

If it is carried one by one, the energy consumed will be too great, and Tang Feng can't afford this kind of loss.

It doesn't take much energy to transport an oil and gas reservoir with reserves of only 10 million tons, but don't forget that to transport such an oil and gas reservoir, the star core must consume 2% of the energy for the deformation function! Handling of an oil and gas reservoir with reserves of 10 million tons. You may not be able to consume even 0.2% of the energy, but the transformation function alone requires 2% of the energy!

How many oil and gas reservoirs were discovered in one day today? No less than a hundred. If you carry them one by one, you won't be able to carry Tang Feng and Star Core to death!

It is precisely because of this that Tang Feng decided to change the itinerary.

Since you disobedient oil and gas reservoirs, you don't obediently gather together, you have to play this game of hide and seek with Lao Tzu, then okay. Don't blame Lao Tzu for using the function of mineral vein condensation right now to bring you all together!

At present, there are more than 30 oil and gas reservoirs within the scope of satellite core exploration, and all of them are oil and gas reservoirs with not small reserves. Among them, there are 19 oil and gas reservoirs with reserves of more than 20 million tons, and if all these more than 30 oil and gas reservoirs are concentrated. Then a huge oil and gas field with reserves of more than 400 million tons will be formed in the rock formation below the yacht.

And to condense all these reservoirs together, the energy required is only 3.2%!

This is undoubtedly a relatively cost-effective deal, spending 3.2% of the energy to get a giant oil field with reserves of more than 400 million tons, which is a good deal. It's just that the only thing that's not so good is that Tang Feng and the people who put it on need to stay here for a week!

It doesn't matter, there is nothing going on right now anyway, and the South Atlantic is fairly calm this season, and a stay of two or three weeks from here is not a big deal for this yacht.

As for supplies, this one is even simpler, with Mr. Sigman's energy in Argentina, sending some supplies to the Leaves is nothing at all. Even if it was to change Tang Feng to a real ocean survey ship, it would be very easy.

This idea came to Tang Feng just now when he was smoking on the deck. In order to complete the coalescence method of a super-giant oil and gas field in the most energy-saving way, this method is undoubtedly the most suitable and the best.

It was precisely because of this that after Tang Feng gave the order to condense the star core in the cabin, he grabbed the satellite phone and called Mr. Sigman.

"What? Are you going to stay in that area for two or three weeks? Although Mr. Sigman had not yet fallen asleep, he still startled the old gentleman a little when he heard the news.

You must know that although the Leaves is a large yacht of more than 35 meters, it is not really a giant ship that can stay on the surface of the sea for a long time. If the sea is too rough, the comfort of a yacht of this size will be greatly reduced.

"That's right, Mr. Sigman, after I get to this area today, I need to do a long time of careful survey work in this area, of course, if you have this connection, it is best to transfer me a real survey ship."

Sigman smiled wryly and said, "You guy can really toss people. But tell me the truth, how do you feel? How sure are you that you will be able to find an oil and gas field? ”

Tang Feng smiled and said, "Mr. Sigman, are you anxious again?" Well, since you asked, then I'll tell you the truth. The sea area I walked to today is about 100 kilometers south of the Gulf of Anegarda, which is directly opposite the Bay of San Matthias, and this sea area gives me a very good feeling!
