Chapter 72: There's Oil
Hanging up the phone, Ji Feng said to Jin Tonghao: "Manager Jin, you go back and rest first, I will stay in charge of exploration, anyway, this exploration ship is also fully automatic, let more trustworthy guards come over." "After all, it's only 30 nautical miles from Jeju Island, and it's not far from South Korea, but it's not on the edge of the waterway, otherwise I'm afraid it would have been discovered long ago."
But even so, the location here is only a dozen nautical miles away from the nearest shipping route, and such a tall behemoth will inevitably be discovered by some civilian ships.
Jin Tonghao seemed to understand Ji Feng's worries, agreed, untied a speedboat tied below, and left with a few people in the speedboat. The people on the other mining platforms have long since left with the food delivery and security delivery personnel, and there are less than 40 people left in the entire sea area, including Ji Feng.
After Jin Tonghao left, Ji Feng said to the workers and asked everyone to take turns to rest, then went into a lounge and dodged into the space to cultivate.
The next morning, when Ji Feng finished his cultivation, he found that the sweet potatoes that had been formed before had arched out one by one at this time, and he opened one by one with his hand and looked at it, the sweet potatoes below were really not small, more than twice as big as the ones he usually bought for Xu Xian, Ji Feng couldn't help but have a headache again, this is a good thing, but when it grows too fast and there is no helper, it makes people entangled.
He picked out hundreds of sweet potatoes with his hands, picked them off the seedlings, waved them into the space ring, and prepared to taste them for Xu Xian when he went back. Fortunately, the soil in this field is not too hard, otherwise Ji Feng would not be willing to pick it up with his hands.
Out of the lounge, walked to the scrubbing room and washed his hands, and by the way, while no one took out the spare toothbrush in the space ring to brush his teeth, Ji Feng walked out of the rest area after cleaning up his rope.
As soon as he opened the door of the rest area leading to the work area, the roar outside came again, making Ji Feng sigh again and again that the manufacturing jishu there was really not blowing, and the outside noise could not be felt at all in the rest area.
Walking to the drilling rig, he glanced at the machine that was still spinning, and asked the workers on the side, "Have you changed shifts?" How deep did you drill? ”
Jin Tonghao didn't tell everyone Ji Feng's identity, but they also heard Jin Tonghao call Ji Feng's boss, so they all shouted like this with Ji Feng.
It's just that obviously Ji Feng asked the wrong person this time, and the other party glanced at Ji Feng in a daze, and when he opened his mouth, there was a string of Korean words, and Ji Feng, who was resisting, was full of black lines. Seeing this, the workers on the other side, more than ten meters away, hurriedly ran over and greeted Ji Feng: "Boss, why don't you rest for a while, everything is normal here, just keep an eye on us." ”
Hearing the familiar English, Ji Feng sighed that not everyone knows English or Chinese. "I'm rested, how deep have I got?" This time, he didn't ask everyone about the change of shifts, and they all looked in good spirits, although their eyes were slightly red, but they didn't look tired.
Also, the fully automatic exploration ship, they can't get involved at all except to watch, and they are tired, but they just have some time.
The worker glanced at a drill pipe that had just been connected again, and said with a smile: "Boss, now I have drilled 3,400 hundred meters, and this one is the 35th, if you don't count the length of the drill bit." ”
Ji Feng nodded slightly, and looked at the monitor on the seabed on the side, the drill hole under the bottom of the sea no longer overflowed with muddy water at this time, the drill hole was only 147.4 meters away from the sea surface, and it was really overkill to use this kind of deep-sea exploration ship, but at the moment he only had such an exploration ship, so he should use it for a small time.
Turning his head, Ji Feng asked with some concern, "The speed hasn't dropped now, has it?" Does the drill bit need to be replaced? "Thomas was very mysterious at the time, even if the drill bit drilled a few deep-sea wells, it didn't need to be replaced, but why had I never heard of it, and Du Niang even said that an oil well needed to replace several drill bits to be able to drill.
"The drill bit has not received the alarm, it should not be replaced, and the current drilling speed is still maintained at 4.8 meters per minute, which is quite difficult, you must know that there is a third rock layer below." The English-speaking worker hurriedly replied.
Ji Feng smiled with some satisfaction, patted the shoulder of the other party who was one meter seven tall and said, "Very good, thank you for your hard work." ”
Every 20 to 30 minutes, the boom automatically grabs a drill pipe and locks it to its predecessors with the help of two automatic robotic arms to complete its mission.
Except for three freighters in the middle, which deviated from the course and were driven away by the security guards near this sea area, nothing happened until then, and even the wind at sea was a level less.
In addition to the sea water or sea water in the eyes, Ji Feng and the others were already visually tired, so Ji Feng simply took out his fishing rod again and ran to the platform on the side to fish, but in the roar of the drilling rig, he didn't catch a single hair for two hours, so he simply put away the fishing rod again.
At 36 hours and 17 minutes after the drilling rig was started, the drill pipe representing the drilling depth of 10,000 meters disappeared into the drilling well, and the 101st drill pipe was roped by the drilling rig and continued to drill downward.
The workers on the ship were all boiling and shouting loudly, and Kim Tong-ho, who rushed back early in the morning of the third day, took out South Korean soju to celebrate everyone. 10,000 meters, and it has never failed to drill 10,000 meters in one breath, and it only took 36 hours and 17 minutes, which is a miracle in Shijie oil prospectors, but this miracle is created by everyone.
Although there is no way to announce everyone's miracle to the public, there is no way to let everyone enjoy the honor of shijie's attention, but everyone is jubilant inside, and then it depends on whether it can really drill oil, you must know that South Korea has searched all its own waters before, and even the South Korean national oil company has reluctantly claimed that there is no oil in its own waters, and all oil is completely purchased from outside.
If oil can really be drilled at this location, even if it is an oil field with small reserves, it will at least prove that there are oil reserves in the waters of Jeju Island. It is believed that there is also oil in the waters of South Korea. It's not just himself who creates all these miracles, but more of his own boss, that mysterious young man.
They were previously incorporated as employees of Jeju Energy, and although they were paid a higher salary than before, they still had a lot of reluctance towards South Korea. But after seeing such advanced offshore exploration equipment, their hearts have gradually changed in more than a day, and I am afraid that those old colleagues will definitely be embarrassed to see their faces in the future, so that they used to sneer at themselves again, and the entire South Korean oil industry has not completed the things, but their bosses have completed it, and they have done it so simply.
At this time, everyone accepted Jin Tonghao's secret order from the heart, at least among these people on the ship, none of them were willing to say the specific drilling depth, such advanced equipment, the boss can get it for his own use, not to mention the easy work, the income is higher, where to find such a good thing in the world.
Taking a step back, can the boss who can get such advanced equipment have the means that ordinary people can imagine? Once you do something to leak your secrets, I'm afraid it's not just legal sanctions that await you.
The calm and tense time was quietly passing, the sun on the sea was gradually climbing high into the sky, and the warm sun at noon was shrouding the sea, also shining on the dozens of people on the exploration platform.
It has reached a depth of 12,000 meters, only 400 meters away from the depth of the well finalized by Ji Feng. But now the workers at the Jeju energy exploration site can proudly say that we can.
Ji Feng heard someone's stomach gurgling from time to time, since breakfast at seven o'clock in the morning, everyone had never eaten again, and they must have been hungry at this time.
Seeing that there were still less than 400 meters, Ji Feng hurriedly urged everyone who didn't want to leave to go to eat, and even Jin Tonghao was kicked to the restaurant by Ji Feng, if he hadn't taken the lead in staying, could the workers not have eaten.
It was only a quarter of an hour before and after, when the 122nd drill pipe was newly replaced, people all ran back after lunch, and even Jin Tonghao personally sent Ji Feng a hamburger in advance.
As the 124th drill pipe entered the drilling rig, everyone's mood became a little nervous, according to the predetermined depth of the well, this is a zuihou, if there is no oil after this one...... Everyone couldn't help but look at Ji Feng with a smile on his face, they didn't understand that the boss of Weishenme would be so sure.
Ji Feng was actually nervous in his heart, his palms were full of sweat, this number was more than 200 meters deeper than what he heard, if he couldn't drill oil, then he would be embarrassed.
Ji Feng thought very simply, anyway, it was a fully automated exploration, at most, everyone wasted two days of effort here, and there was no harm in giving it a try, just in case.
Just when everyone was nervous about the monitor and the drilling rig, suddenly the drilling rig trembled, and then stopped suddenly, just when everyone was a little strange weishenme would stop by itself, there was a rumbling sound in the ears, and after a while, I saw a red light on a monitor on the side, and the piercing alarm sounded at the same time.
Jin Tonghao happened to be there, and after taking a look, his eyes were red, and he shouted excitedly: "There is oil, haha, the boss has oil." ”
The monitor shows the information of the drill bit in real time, and the drill bit at this time has been in the black liquid, through the detection information, it is the long-awaited crude oil, and a test data is also attached.
Ji Feng doesn't understand these things, but Jin Tonghao and others, as oil people who have been working for many years, know the authenticity of these data at a glance, and it is indeed crude oil, and it is also a very good quality crude oil.
At the same time, everyone also saw an even more surprising message: "Oil reserves are being counted, please wait, you can prepare the mining platform during this period, and when the statistics are completed, remove the exploration platform, replace it with the mining platform and continue to work." The ...... will be counted in 22 minutes"
PS: Ask for recommendations, ask for collections......
