Chapter 5 The Problem of Stuck Drilling
Since Zhao Yuemin made a simple stove and a simple flashlight, like a robot cat living in the world, he instantly became famous all over the drilling team.
Several teams immediately became aware of the inventor. Every once in a while, someone would visit Zhao Yuemin's dormitory, handing over some cigarettes and alcohol that were difficult to get on the market at that time, thinking that Zhao Yuemin would directly make them three major items for marriage.
During this time, Zhao Yuemin has been following the drilling team to learn honestly how to drill wells and how to stir mud. I went out early and returned late, and when I returned home in my spare time, I was not idle, and I directly found my father's professional books, which involved drilling, and I looked at them by myself, and asked Zhao Chunda if I didn't understand them.
The father and son found a common topic, and Zhao Chunda was also very happy, although Zhao Yuemin sometimes asked some idiotic questions, and would be sarcastic with a cold face, but he also tried his best to guide his son.
With the guidance of his father, Zhao Yuemin has a deeper understanding of the structural principles of the drilling rig, and sometimes occasionally chats with the team leader Wang Wei, which also makes the latter feel the rapid progress of the latter.
As a member of the team leader, Zhao Yuemin's responsibility is to manage the mud pump to ensure that the entire mud system does not have any accidents. The mud contains a large amount of suspended solids, gelatinous matter and oil-water mixture, which is equivalent to the blood of the drilling well, and the stakes are significant. Zhao Yuemin has a flexible mind and quick response, and in less than a month, as long as he listens with his ears on the mud pump cylinder, he can accurately judge the working status of each cylinder of the mud pump. This made the team leader Wang Wei very satisfied.
In the early morning, a cloud of smoke shrouded the well site. On this day, Zhao Yuemin's team was missing two people, team leader Wang Wei and another old worker, Zhang Yuanchao. One was called to the headquarters to report to work, and the other was sick and had diarrhea and was recuperating in the dormitory.
Only Zhao Yuemin and Liu Guoguang are left to be responsible for the daily work of the derrick.
At noon, Chen Weiwei, a worker who was responsible for controlling the brake handle of the drilling rig, shouted "not good", and then only heard a strange sound from the underground, and then the entire drilling rig stopped abruptly and stopped the strike.
Those who are familiar with drilling work know that this drilling rig is "stuck".
In the process of drilling, the phenomenon that the drilling tool is trapped in the well and cannot move freely due to various reasons is called stuck drilling. The reasons for stuck drilling are very complex, and the formation structure, poor performance of drilling fluid, improper operation, etc. may cause stuck drilling, which must be analyzed according to the specific situation in order to effectively solve the jamming.
The drilling rig was stuck in the drill, and Chen Wei, the only one who was responsible for controlling the brake lever on the driver's platform, was relatively old, and his face immediately turned pale.
Zhao Yuemin watched Chen Wei motionless from the side, and asked, "Brother Chen, what is the reason?" ”
Although Chen Wei has been a driller for so many years, he has never dealt with card drilling alone, and it was handled by team leader Wang Wei in the past. Wang Wei has more than 10 years of experience and has rich experience in grassroots drilling for eight years. But right now, the others are not here, but have been called to the headquarters.
Chen Wei knew that he was now the leader of the group and had to take responsibility, but his legs were weak, he took a cursory look at the situation, and said in a floating voice: "I see...... It's a well collapse card drill! ”
Well collapse card drilling?
Several people at the derrick panicked.
There are many reasons for stuck drilling, such as sticky suction stuck drilling, sand bridge stuck drilling, falling object stuck drilling, etc., but the most serious is the collapse of the well stuck drilling, which is the worst in nature, the most complex process to deal with accidents, and the treatment is not good, which consumes manpower and material resources, and leads to casualties and the abandonment of oil and gas wells.
Chen Wei didn't dare to make any moves, but his legs were weak and he sat on the driver's platform in a daze.
In the next few hours, the whole team tried to find a way to solve the stuck drill problem, but it was still unsuccessful.
Seeing that the sun was about to set in the western mountains, the cold was gradually pressing.
Chen Wei threw his hat on the ground, but in the cold winter, there were beads of sweat on his face.
"I can't help it." Chen Wei crossed his hands on his waist and looked at the disappearing sunset, "The only way left is to pump diesel into the well, and beat the remaining twenty tons of diesel in the group." ”
As soon as these words were said, the members of the team were worried, and pumping 20 or 30 tons of diesel fuel into the well was equivalent to directly burying the wages of the eight groups of the entire team in the well for a year into the ground of several thousand meters. Both the team leader and the team leader have a lot of responsibility.
"There's no time, the sun is going to set, let's act." Chen Wei ordered.
"Wait!" Zhao Yuemin, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly walked out, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on his handsome side face.
"Brother Chen, let me try. I don't think it's a collapse drill. Zhao Yuemin said in a loud voice.
Everyone in the group looked at Zhao Yuemin, especially college student Liu Guoguang, and kindly pulled his sleeve to remind him not to be reckless. After all, it's something to be responsible for.
"Zhao Yuemin, you ...... Are you sure? Chen Wei looked at him in disbelief. He knew that Zhao Yuemin had a flexible brain and was quick to control the drilling rig, but he still didn't believe that he could solve such a complex problem.
Zhao Yuemin nodded: "Brother Chen, let me try." I have the responsibility, and I will take it. ”
He didn't say a word, and went straight from the escalator to the console.
Zhao Yuemin is not reckless, he has a spectrum in his heart. On the day he just went home, he found the research report on the problem of drilling rig stuck in Zhao Chunda's study, and when he went home a few days ago, he was still learning and using it, and discussed with Zhao Chunda the performance of this Romanian-made drilling rig. Therefore, the solution to the stuck drill is confident.
Zhao Yuemin was unhurried to visually measure the mud displacement, flipped through the report on duty, calculated the square entry of the drill pipe, and measured the number of rotations per minute of the turntable. Holding the brake handle with both hands again, after feeling the intensity of the bounce, he immediately shouted to the people below:
"Brother Chen, I judge that it is not a well collapse card drill, but a sticky suction card drill of a technical nature." Zhao Yuemin came to a conclusion.
He immediately asked the formula to be calculated, adjusted the viscosity of the mud, and had people stir the mud and inject it into the well according to this degree.
Chen Wei also got on the console, listened to Zhao Yuemin's explanation, patted his head, and suddenly realized: "Xiao Zhao, it's not simple." It was me who was mistaken, mistaken. ”
The workers of that era were very simple, right was right, wrong was wrong, and the distinction was very clear.
The whole team immediately began to stir the mud according to Zhao Yuemin's method, and then picked up the washing tools.
In less than an hour, Zhao Yuemin lifted the brake on the console, and the roar resumed in the well.
The team members all applauded.
At this time, several neighboring teams received a call for help and sent people over one after another. When a few people arrived at the well, they saw Zhao Yuemin working alone in the console.
Seeing that the drilling rig was rejuvenated, they couldn't believe that such a complex technical card drill was solved by a rookie who had just entered the industry for a month or two.
The problem of stuck drilling was delayed for a day, and I almost had to bear the punishment of punishment, but suddenly, the problem was dealt with. Chen Wei and several other workers were ecstatic, directly grabbed Zhao Yuemin and threw him into the air to celebrate......
Zhao Yuemin was in the air, looking at the sky, and shouted a bold sentence:
"Brothers, you have to catch me!"
