Chapter 252: Blowout
Naturally, she didn't know anything about the geological structure of this area, she didn't know how the underground structure was, and the only thing she knew was that there must be oil underground. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The workers had no complaints, and they were paid fifty dollars for every day they worked here. The brother and sister knew that Lao Maozi's favorite banknote here was the dollar.
It's pretty rudimentary**, the drill bit is driven by an engine, and it's already starting to turn and start digging deep into the rock.
"Let's see what the show, I'm sure we'll be able to drill oil!" She pinched her waist and stood in front of the **, expecting the black blowout.
She knew very well that this was actually a very risky move, and she didn't know what kind of structure was underground, whether it was hard granite or soft sandstone. Sometimes it takes a lot of courage to take this step, and whether you succeed or fail depends on the final result.
**Camps are being built around it, and whether or not oil can be dug up, this will be a place to live for some time to come, and once oil is dug up, new settlements will be built here.
"A hundred meters deep!"
"Two hundred meters deep!"
"Stop!" The engineering captain beckoned the workers to stop.
"What's going on!" Da Ming and star fruit hurriedly ran over.
"Drilling can't be drilled all the time, our engines are already overheating." The engineering captain said worriedly.
Engineer Captain Liu Genshen and his men were all from China, and he and his fellow villagers came here for a salary of $1,000 a month. He was forced to lay off his job during the wave of layoffs, wondering what the future would be obsolete A mysterious company from Russia threw an olive branch, and when he learned that the company's director was Chinese, he resolutely set foot on the soil of a neighboring country.
He and his fellow villagers have accepted the fact that the boss is a Chinese child, after all, these two children are not ordinary to be able to mix here. Digging for oil is their old business, and it is the first time to dig oil with simple equipment.
Daming wanted to know when the engine would cool down, and Liu Genshen said that this matter was in a hurry. There are no geologists here, and Chinese workers deserve to rely on their experience to examine the rock samples drilled.
"These look like basalt." Star fruit crouched down and looked at it for itself.
Sonia picked up the rock chips and observed them herself, as if she were an expert. "How can you be sure that this is basalt, and is there anything special about basalt?"
"Nothing special, as long as it's not sandstone." Carambola stood up and patted the dust off her body.
There is an asphalt lake here, and it stands to reason that there should be a shallow oil layer here, and perhaps as the excavation reaches in, it will dig into the bottom layer of sandstone.
The excavation continued to go deeper, reaching 400 meters throughout the day, but the shadow of the oil was still not visible, and the excavated rock was still basalt. Could it be that the excavation area was chosen incorrectly? She wasn't in good spirits this night.
The night was still extremely silent, and the workers went to bed early after a busy day's work. Liu Genshen comforted before going to bed that this digging for oil is also a kind of gamble, some oil reservoirs are very deep, and the Daqing Oilfield has been drilled for 1,500 meters.
Da Ming was also comforted, giving the two of them a week. For this Da Ming, I completely believe in my sister, there must be oil here, and I will continue to fight until the new day.
In the past day, as the drill bit penetrates deep into the bottom, the mud is also continuously injected and lubricated the drill bit. In the early morning, the two were still woken up by the gasoline generator, and the drive drill was completely dependent on it, and it was also a big gasoline eater. After the small transformer is boosted, the drill bit ends up gaining a lot of power, after all, it takes a lot of effort to dig in the basalt.
"This drill bit shouldn't break." Da Ming asked worriedly, he knew that the metal must be getting more and more dull by this kind of grinding.
"Perhaps this is impossible, this drill represents the supreme power of Russia. Of course, if the drill bit is pregnant, we still have a backup. ”
Pugachev was very confident, and he did not lose out on the lack of oil, knowing that he had enough wealth to buy a small oil field in Tyumen. However, he unusually supported the brother and sister to come to the Republic of Tuva to dig for oil for practical reasons, because the tax rate here is extremely low.
The drill bit continued to go deeper, and the star fruit had a hunch that it would definitely produce oil today, and if it was shallow oil then it would win today.
However, at lunchtime, a new situation occurred when the drill bit drilled into the sandstone. "Emergency stop! Emergency Stop! Liu Genshen ordered all the workers to stop, and when the drill bit faced the sandstone, it would be a different situation. Lubricating slurry is sufficient, but it needs to be recalculated for the current situation.
"If we don't have enough mud lubrication, it's too easy to collapse when we drill holes in sandstone, and the hole collapse will directly cause the drill bit to break."
The calculation is left to the star fruit himself, who thought of the drillers more than a hundred years ago, and their tools were even more rudimentary and successful. According to calculations, the mud that was originally a 1,000-meter drilling hole can only be used for 800 meters, and 800 meters is enough if you think about it. She asked the main personnel to gather together: "It's only 800 meters, if we don't move until we get to 800 meters, then we can only stop temporarily, or we can find a new place to open a new hole." ”
It was she who said that there was oil here, and it was she who said that as long as she found the asphalt lake, she would definitely be able to dig up oil, and Daming said nothing about it, while some workers questioned it. "She's just a little girl, can a little girl believe her words?" Much of this came from Chinese workers, while the ethnic Russians and Tuvans had no more concerns.
It is also reasonable to question that Russia still drills oil in the field in the early winter in the early winter, where the temperature difference between day and night is very large, which is indeed a chore. But the Chinese workers are also conscientious, and these doubts are also a moment of complaint, and when the slaughtered sheep are brought in by the village of Halenka, when they eat the roast sheep, these unhappiness is swept away. Isn't it just a week, take an extra $350 and endure it?
It's been two days since the oil was drilled, and now the sandstone has been drilled, so if the landslide is not handled well, then it is really a waste of effort. "Don't worry more, my dear, we are taking a risk, so we will face failure again. The worst outcome for us is that we can't dig oil, so we can continue digging when we come back from China. Da Ming comforted like this, and the two snuggled up in the tent.
China's gang of people, Chu Hua and Liu Genshen and other Chinese got together to talk and laugh. Chu Hua helped the brother and sister completely settle the doubts of the gang, and talked nonsense as a staff member of his embassy, and the gang even thought that the drilling and oil digging operation was allowed by the state.
So when Da Ming got up again on the third day, all the workers seemed to have a special joy, and even more joyful was that the sun actually came out of the dark clouds.
"Today is really a good weather, the dark clouds of the first two days have been swept away, and we will definitely succeed today." Carambola got out of the tent, simply groomed and dressed up, and she simply tied a ponytail.
Liu Genshen took the initiative to find the brother and sister, and he also felt that this morning had a very good start. "Maybe we should sacrifice it, anyway, there are gods who don't have their heads up." The two did not object, but the Chinese-style sacrifice aroused the curiosity of workers of other ethnic groups.
There was no incense, and the offering was some mutton beef. Liu Genshen and the others set up a small altar and spilled a bottle of wine on the ground.
"I really should have asked the shaman to come here." Hadanbat said to himself that he had been here for many days, and that it seemed to him that a good result would be if he worshipped the mountain god well.
The sacrifice only has a stabilizing effect, which requires believing in science, and the star fruit feels that success is coming, as if it were only separated by a layer of window paper. The brother and sister and Sonia stood on the **, three pairs of eyes staring at the spinning drill.
"Be careful, this ......"
Liu Genshen was about to say something, when he suddenly stopped rotating when he reached 650 meters. "Is there no gas or is the generator broken?" He nervously looked back and asked.
"It's not broken, the generator isn't hot at all, and there's enough gasoline here, so what's going on over there." A worker shouted.
At this time, the drill bit was really a little strange, Liu Genshen stared at the drill bit, and the drill rod itself was trembling. In fact, the drill bit at this moment hit the explosion gas and water layer, like an embroidery needle piercing a balloon. "It's not good, run...... Come on! He shouted, "Everyone, get out of here, it's going to blow out!" ”
Instinctively reacted, the brother and sister immediately fled from here, and the star fruit went directly to the ground. There was a boom, and a hot spring gushed out, and then stopped.
"Peach blossom! Are you okay! At that moment just now, Da Ming tried his best to protect her lovely sister.
After hesitating to wear it, she had no problem at all, she didn't even care about the dust on her body when she stood up, she was more active than others and ran directly to the **.
No one was injured, and Liu Genshen checked it out and prepared to continue digging after replacing it with a new drill bit. Pugachev only began to worry at this time, obediently, if everyone hadn't hid quickly just now, this would have been injured at least and would have killed people in serious cases.
The work continued, and by this time Liu Genshen was convinced that there must be good things underground. Because of the sudden blowout, the borehole wall began to collapse and the mud began to pour in large quantities. At the beginning, everyone was ready to drill the hole, and with the help of special mud, everything was not a problem.
The drill bit has been drilled for 750 meters, and if there is really no more results, then it will have to be stopped, because the special mud is running out. But the turnaround is now finally here.
Liu Genshen noticed a subtle change in the drill bit, and he stopped the machine. He stepped forward and looked into the hole, and there was a sound like bubbles, and it was like breathing in waves. "There's something in the ground, and the drill is shaking. It could be a blowout, everyone go quickly. ”
The brother and sister didn't dare to run away, and all the workers fell to the ground one by one.
This day will change forever in the Republic of Tuva, and a black liquid spews out rapidly, and in the eyes of star fruit, the height is at least twenty meters.
All the workers burst into a roar, knowing that after a few days of eating and sleeping in the open, Miss Besica's estimate had actually succeeded!
The black oil sprayed for ten minutes, and many of the surrounding tents and makeshift structures were splashed with oil, but it was all worth it.
Oil has stabilized, and the next step is to pop up like a pressurized well.
Like most of the workers, the siblings were covered in oil.
"Brother, your face is so dirty, oil will get inflamed in your eyes."
"You too, you need to protect your big eyes."
The two of them fell to the ground with a wry smile, and they watched with their eyes as Pugachev, a half-hundred-year-old fellow, danced happily and shouted Ula Ula with their mouths full.
At this point, a group of people hurried to build a new platform, a group of people went to the river to fetch water to wash off the oil, and several messengers were asked to quickly go to the village to contact Kizil.
