Chapter 174: The Waste Oil Well Produces Oil
Wang Chao dialed the second child again, it turned out that he asked about the health care products that the two talked about last time, Wang Chao said that he had been a little busy recently, and he had not yet freed up his hands to do it, and the second child urged him to hurry up.
Wang Chao nodded in understanding.
Finally, he dialed the phone to the family, and his mother answered it, asked him if he had obtained a marriage certificate with Xinyu, and asked him to treat people well, and after talking for a long time, finally his father came to answer the phone and asked him how the house in Hengzhong City was, how to decorate, and decorate it early if he could.
Only then did I remember that the two villas next to each other in Hengzhong City had not yet been renovated, but now I was very busy and couldn't get out. If you let your parents stare at it, and you are afraid that the style of decoration does not meet your own mind, I thought about it and said,
"Dad, those two houses don't need to be in a hurry to install them for the time being, I'll think about the decoration style when I'm empty."
Dad nodded in agreement.
Early the next morning, I talked to Gu Jianguo on the phone, made an appointment to visit in the afternoon, and then had lunch and asked Zhao Dahai to drive, all the way to the other party's home in Cangxian County, Cangshi City, Eastern Hebei Province.
This is an ordinary two-bedroom room, the living room is not big, and he can only turn around, Gu Jianguo is very enthusiastic about Wang Chao, and invites him to his study to sit down
Wang Chao saw that there was a huge bookshelf on the ceiling in the study, which was full of all kinds of books, and not only Chinese, but also some of them were English and Russian.
“…… Mr. Gu, my intention is as simple as that, I hope you can go out to help me take care of the secondary development of the waste oil well, you don't have to worry about the salary, it is guaranteed to be twice as high as before."
"Well, Mr. Wang, I'm not worried about the treatment, my main thing is about whether your waste oil well can produce oil. I have done this work before, and the difficulty of this second oil recovery is much greater than the first time, because it is not only necessary to extract oil, but also to have a keen sense of whether oil can be produced underground according to the quality of the underground soil and sand."
"Hehe, whether you can get oil or not, it's all my problem, you don't have any burden and pressure in your heart, just do your best"
"Good. Speaking of which, if I shirk it again, it will be a little petty, Mr. Wang, I can go with you tomorrow."
"Okay, it seems that you are a cheerful person too, and so am I. In this way, you make a procurement list first, you need to purchase those equipment and machinery, raw materials, I will purchase first, and then you will set up the construction team, and we will go hand in hand. Strive for an early start of construction"
The two agreed, and the next day, Gu Jianguo went back and made a list of purchases.
In the past few days, Wang Chao passed the second child of Uncle Yu's family. Xu Shaoyan, director of the Yanjing Bureau of Industry and Commerce, registered Tianyi Oil Products Company with a registered capital of 5 million yuan, and gave it all to Gu Jianguo.
A month later, oil production began in earnest. Wang Chao also rushed over to take a look, you must know that there is oil in the ground, and if Gu Jianguo can't give up with his previous experience, it will be troublesome.
The sky was clear. Cloudless, arrived at the North China Oilfield at ten o'clock in the morning, Lao Gu chose the first waste oil well to be reopened is not one of the two that Wang Chao fancied, but Wang Chao did not remind him, quietly watched him lead a few people to work there, set up a shelf, hinges, tanker trucks, etc., and prepared fire extinguishing equipment, worried that in case of a fire, it would break in time.
Open the valve of the sealing well, connect the hinges and start to try tentatively first.
I didn't expect to really save face, and it didn't take much effort to make black viscous crude oil emerge from the ground, and in order to prevent damage to the surrounding environment, a tanker truck loaded with oil was prepared in advance.
Seeing that the oil came out and quickly connected to the oil inlet valve of the tanker, watching the metering float in the tanker rising slowly, everyone was very happy from the heart, Lao Gu was even more happy, and he showed his hand in front of the boss.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and less than a ton was pumped, and the oil well dried up, and then pumped upwards could only pump out oil and water mixed with groundwater.
"Mr. Wang, the oil that has just been pumped up is the residual oil that was sealed in the oil well pipeline by pressure before the well was sealed, and it was not really pumped out of the ground, and now the mixed water is really just pumped out of the ground, I will test it first to see how big the oil-water ratio is, if it is too small, it is not cost-effective, and it is not enough to separate the cost."
As he spoke, the oil-water mixture that was later pumped out was placed in the laboratory bench prepared for the preliminary test.
Sure enough, the test results came out soon, and the oil-water ratio was only 0.35, that is, only 0.35 liters of one liter of this mixed liquid was oil, which was less than the standard for economic oil recovery.
Decisively stop pumping and let people continue to probe the pumping pipe. It extended about ten meters downwards to begin the second sampling test.
The oil-water mixture that was pumped up this time was tested and was smaller than the data just now.
Lao Gu's brows furrowed, so he asked people to go down twenty meters again and extract again, and the result was similar to the last time, still not ideal.
A day has passed, two days have passed, three days have passed, these three days have extended down about 200 meters, and there is still no harvest, although it is slightly better on the second day, but it is just in line with the standard of economic oil production, at most it can protect the capital, there is no profit at all.
On the fifth day, after continuing to descend 100 meters, he found that there was still no harvest, Lao Gu asked everyone to stop the descent and lift the pipe up.
On the sixth day, the position was shifted, and when we arrived at another oil well, we continued to use the previous method, going down the probe pipe for exploratory extraction......
He has been busy working on three oil wells, but none of them have been oiled, and Lao Gu's heart is not only a little depressed.
The "jingle bell" mobile phone rang, Wang Chao took it over and took a look, Wang Jinshan of China National Petroleum Group called,
"Mr. Wang, I heard that your oil well has not produced oil after three times, don't be too anxious about this, after all, it is a waste oil well, the amount of oil is small, as long as there is a well to produce oil, you can earn it back",
It is estimated that Lao Gu told him and asked him to call to comfort him, worried that he would have a bad opinion of Lao Gu himself, Wang Chao was secretly funny in his heart, but echoed him on the phone.
Hung up the phone. Wang Chao called Lao Gu to comfort him, telling him not to worry, to have confidence, and to stabilize the morale of the army - on the first day, Wang Chao knew that there was no oil underground, so he went back to Yanjing first, but when he left, he marked the two oil wells that he had "seen through", and asked Lao Gu to call him when he was sure to mine those two oil wells.
Seeing that it was June and summer, and the weather was gradually getting hotter, Wang Chao drove straight to the two oil wells that he was optimistic about in the North China Oilfield. This is the fifth well to be drilled in Lao Gu, and the previous four have not produced oil.
got out of the car and took advantage of everyone's inattention, and secretly "seeped" the following glance: there was no change there, and the underground oil field was still the same, so I was relieved.
Because it has failed four times in a row, the enthusiasm of the workers is not high, whether it is installing hinges or standing tripods, they do not have the enthusiasm they had at the beginning, but they are only mechanically operated under the orders of Lao Gu and in accordance with the operating procedures.
Fuel tankers and fire trucks are quietly on standby. But the drivers' expressions showed that they didn't have much hope for the well.
Soon the probe tube went down to the original 510 meters, Lao Gu was still the old way, and the probe tube was ten meters more, and it was tested according to the oil and water data pumped up and then probed again.
On the first day, it was a full 200 meters. It has reached a depth of 720 meters, and there is still no desired result, and the workers have begun to whisper,
"I think this well is choking enough. Still doesn't work."
"It's just that more than a month has passed, and no oil has been found. A lot of money can be spent, always so compensated, when is it a leader?"
"Who says it's not, but if someone else is the boss, let us do it, anyway, we will have a day's money if we do it for a day"
……
Lao Gu's face is not good-looking, but he still meticulously continues to let the next probe tube, Wang Chao also has to admire him, if it is not for his confidence, if it is not for his professionalism, it is estimated that Lao Gu will not be able to hold on.
The next day, the weather was gloomy, and the thunder was remembered in the distance, and it looked like it was going to rain, but Lao Gu still asked people to go down and probe as usual.
This time it went down 100 meters compared to the previous day, and at 850 meters, there was still no oil pumping, and Lao Gu began to despair in his heart, "Stop going down, this well seems to be hopeless"
"No, I have a hunch, there must be oil under this well, Lao Gu, you let people go down a few dozen meters to try" Wang Chao stopped him
"Mr. Wang, we have gone down an extra 300 meters, in my experience, this oil well is indeed a waste oil well, there will be nothing, and it will be a waste of time and money to go down again"
"Hehe, Lao Gu, I trust your judgment, but sometimes the victory lies in holding on a little longer than others, listen to me, you go down another 50 meters, if it still doesn't, then change"
"This....okay, listen to you, continue to probe" Lao Gu was a little unhappy in his heart
Glancing at him from perspective, he was really a little dissatisfied, "Hmph, self-righteousness, you think I've done it for nothing for so many years, I said that no oil is no oil, alas, blame me, who let me find myself this unpleasant, take this job, it seems that people don't trust me."
smiled, Wang Chao didn't say anything.
After a period of busyness, the fifty-meter probe tube was picked up again and went down into the well
"Stop, don't talk" Suddenly Lao Gu shouted, then lay down at the mouth of the probe tube, put his ear on it and listened quietly
The expression on his face gradually changed, one moment happy, one moment solemn, one moment puzzled, and it seemed that his heart was very uneasy.
"Start pumping" lay down for a long time before standing up, and then asked the workers to stop going down the pipe and start pumping oil out
After a while, I heard a suppressed sound coming out of the pipe, as if a piece of caterpillar crawled over, rustling, and instantly spit out a slimy black liquid from the mouth of the pipe.
"Stop", Lao Gu finished saying and put the pumped oil on the laboratory table for testing.
"Pick up the tanker truck and continue pumping"
After speaking, he trembled in his hand and took a piece of paper to show Wang Chao, and scribbled on it: The oil-water ratio is 0.85
"Lao Gu, is this data very large? What does that mean?"
"The critical ratio of our domestic economic oil recovery is 0.55, and the larger the ratio, the higher the oil content in the oil and water, such as the Daqing Oilfield back then, the highest hit was 0.91, and it can be processed directly without much separation. However, the oil-water ratio of domestic parity oilfields is 0.77, but I didn't expect this well to reach 0.85. ”
"Hehe, so our oil well can produce benefits, that's great."
"Mr. Wang, let's not be too optimistic first, wait for a smoking, I'm afraid it's just a small oil puddle, not much oil, and then I'll be happy in vain."
Wang Chao couldn't bear to tell him that it was actually a real oil field below, just let him do it according to his own experience.
Soon the 10-ton tanker was full, and Lao Gu asked the driver to stop pumping the oil and let the driver drive it to the local refinery of the CNPC Group for further testing.
In the next few days, two to three truckloads of oil were pumped out every day for testing, and the data showed that a good oil well was indeed found this time, and the profit generated by this oil well was more than enough to recover all the costs, not to mention that there were four other oil wells that were not drilled.
Wang Jinshan listened to the news again and called over to congratulate him. But listening to the meaning of his words, he didn't have much hope for how much oil he could produce.
In the following days, Lao Gu decisively stopped pumping oil, replaced the probe pipe with a formal oil production pipe of the same thickness as the previous caliber, and rented ten oil tankers from the China Petroleum Group to start formal oil production.
The news spread throughout the North China Oilfield like wings, and we all knew that Wang Chao's waste oil well had oil, and it was heavy oil with a high oil-water ratio.
After another half a month, the oil production stabilized, the double-headed "kowtow worm" 24 hours of uninterrupted oil production, about 500 tons per day, such an output has not appeared for many years, not to mention Wang Chao, even the old oil of Lao Gu has almost never seen, and even alarmed the senior management of the China Petroleum Group, sent people to inspect, and praised it, but because the contract has been signed, it is only admiration, and there is no intention to take it back.
Wang Chao didn't know these things, and of course he didn't continue to follow there, but had more important things to do - he came to Tianyi Island again.
Corn and wheat have been sown for more than two months, and the corn has grown to the height of a human waist, and it has begun to apply urea, and the neat 1,500 acres are standing on a small hill and looking at a large area of green, which looks so gratifying.
And the ten acres of wheat made him feel very strange...... (To be continued......)
