Chapter 138: Red Oil
The gnawing dog and the chicken actually saw a stream of "red water" spewing out of the oil well, which was thigh-thick, and rushed directly into the air in a hissing sound, and the height was enough to be as tall as two big trees!
The air smells weird...... The gnawing dog and the chicken looked at each other in panic, could it be that the earth was bleeding?!
The four-legged support on the oil well crumbled and clattered in the impact...... Everyone on the field was running around, and their clothes were wet with "red water"!
At this time, everyone heard the shouts of Wang Defa's family:
"Everybody's on orders! Let's run into the Wenlai River!! ”
Wang Defa's orders must always be obeyed by everyone, and this time is no exception, everyone immediately ran towards the Wenlai River!
Wang Defa's family and another craftsman did not leave, and they went directly to rescue the five large buffaloes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The five big buffaloes were mooing and mooing, looking terrified...... One by one, the two of them untied them from the tow line of the large winch and dragged them along.
The "red water" that rushed into the air dispersed in the air, and then quickly fell, and Wang Defa's family and the big buffaloes were already wet...... The two people who nibbled the dog and the chicken also ran over quickly, because they were the ones who were supposed to manage the buffalo.
The four of them led the big buffalo and quickly walked out of the place where the "red water" was sprayed, and Wang Defa's house smelled the pungent smell of oil at this time, but there was a happy smile on his face, but fortunately there was no open flame source.
He smiled and led the ox into the water of the River Evangelism.
During this dry season, the river has a steady flow and it has been flowing slowly, rushing unhurriedly towards the sea.
At this point, it is no more than two meters deep at its deepest point...... The clear water of the river allows you to see the bottom of the river at a glance.
The buffaloes forgot their fears, and they frolicked in the river, and the gnawing dogs and chickens each dragged a cow's tail and let them swim by themselves.
The craftsman who has been following Wang Defa's family is still terrified, God, are we waiting for the blood of the earth!
Wang Defa smiled and said, "Where is there any blood? We have drilled a high-yielding light oil well!! ”
Of course he was pleased, light oil is excellent.
It has fewer "impurities" in it, and the extraction and refining processes and technologies are relatively less complex, allowing more petroleum products to be distilled.
Gasoline, kerosene, and diesel are all obtained by petroleum distillation, and according to the different boiling points, the fractions of different boiling ranges are intercepted respectively, and the three varieties of products are obtained in the normal order.
As long as the temperature is controllable, for Wang Defa's family, as long as he uses several iron buckets in series, he can do it one by one.
Unfortunately, he has not yet been able to usher in the era of the internal combustion engine...... His processing technology is not up to par, this can only be done slowly,
The craftsman who had been with him didn't quite understand the excitement of Wang Defa's family...... That's red blood!
Actually, red oil is not surprising...... The color of the oil itself is very rich, red, golden yellow, dark green, black, maroon, and even transparent, and it is not uncommon for good quality to be directly added to the car fuel tank for use.
The color of petroleum is the content of gum and asphaltene contained in the petroleum itself, and the higher the content, the darker the color.
In that world, some wells in the Cucumber Mountain in Sichuan and the Dagang Oilfield in North China produce colorless oil, Karamay oil is brown to black, and Daqing, Shengli and Yumen oil are all black.
Colorless oil is produced in California, Baku, Romania, and Sumatra, Indonesia.
As for the formation of colorless oil, it may be related to the adsorption of colored gum and asphaltene by rocks during the underground transportation of oil.
But in the end, it is still dark oil of varying degrees that accounts for the absolute majority, almost all over the world's major oil and gas basins.
So, in everyone's impression, as long as it is oil, it must be black......
Wang Defa's family thought about the name of oil in this time and space, and in terms of scientific names, they are indeed called oil.
In fact, the first person to give a scientific name to oil was Shen Kuo, a famous scientist in the Great Song Dynasty.
In his encyclopedia "Dream Creek Writings", he named the names of stone paint, stone grease water, fire oil, and fierce fire oil used in history as petroleum.
He then said, "Didn't you say you had seen oil before...... It's all the same thing, just different colors. ”
When it comes to the use of oil, the major peoples of the world have their own records.
The ancient Greeks probably used it as an incendiary bomb...... Since the Han Dynasty, it may have been used to make ink blocks.
In fact, the craftsmen had seen oil, but they didn't expect it to be red.
As the self-spewing oil well slowly calmed down, the reddish oil it spewed out had merged into small pools of water in several sandy areas around the well.
At the beginning of the oil production well of the working face, Wang Defa's family asked people to spread half a foot of river sand on the ground in this square circle, one is to prevent weeds from coming out, and the other is to adsorb the spilled oil without causing fire hazards...... However, if too much is spilled in a short period of time, they will naturally come together.
All the people, along with the five big buffaloes, washed the oil off their bodies in the river...... After the oil well did not blow up, they returned to the river beach with Wang Defa's house.
Wang Defa's smile couldn't help but infect other people...... Could it be that this underground can spew red oil, and it can really be of great use??
Truth be told, the ink made of petroleum is far less good than the pine resin, and it is too inspiring to illuminate, and the smoke tends to stain the house...... In the past, when I hit this object, I often discarded it.
Haha, of course Wang Defa's family is happy, oil is originally a fluid stored underneath, its own unit density is not high, due to the huge pressure of the earth's crust, so along the cracks in the earth's crust, it could have been automatically sprayed out, but here it is under the pressure of the sedimentary soil layer and cannot reach the surface...... Now that an opening has been opened, it can naturally be squirted out!
However, it seems that the pressure is not too high, and this well is not yet the main oil producing well...... If the oil can be self-sprayed, after it is automatically sprayed out of the surface, as long as you pay attention to the fire prevention problem, you can immediately collect it and use it, so that the labor cost of oil extraction is equivalent to nothing.
It's a pity it's not...... But I'm sure to find more self-spraying in the future!
After everyone went up to the river beach, they took off their shirts, pants, shoes and socks, leaving only small underwear, haha, everyone is dressed the same, and it looks very neat.
A promise from Wang Defa's family made everyone understand how happy he was.
"This month, everyone involved in mining will have double the bonus!"
Oh!
All the people rejoiced, and the Lord's house rejoiced...... Otherwise, it can't be so generous, it seems that this red oil is really a good object.
Immediately after that, everyone began to get busy again.
Wang Defa's family uses wooden containers to transport oil...... The glazed ceramic pillar jar is used to hold the oil, the matching ceramic lid is capped, and the yellow mud is smeared to strengthen the seal, which is actually similar to the wine jar in the Great Song Dynasty Wine Workshop, but it may be rougher than others.
The inside of the container has a hardwood frame and balsa wood as a shock absorbing pad to prevent collisions.
In fact, it is not a problem to process iron sheet galvanized or tinned barrels, but the cost is much higher than using this method, and it affects the production plan.
Wang Defa's family can only build the refinery on Liuqiu Island first, because there are good supporting equipment on that side, and the corresponding technicians can be trained quickly.
Of course, the most important thing is that there is a good means of temperature control.
The well, known as Wenlai No. 1, soon entered a period of high production, and he gave the craftsmen in charge of drilling a new goal.
It is very convenient and simple to use the water drawer to extract oil, and it can be left to the aborigines who come to Liuqiu to do this work.
According to the pre-conceived plan, he would complete the first phase of the project after digging at least six wells.
By that time, theoretically, the first phase of the project will have to be completed. (To be continued.) )
