Chapter 472: Oil is extracted
"Mayor Zhang, you're doing a good job!" Feng Yunshan personally helped Zhang Dashan up, which made the latter very excited: "I am willing to serve the Holy King to the death, a little hard work is nothing!" ā
"Well, that's good! This king is here this time, there is something important, are you willing to help this king? Feng Yunshan patted the other party's shoulder. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Zhang Dashan seemed to have melted all over his body, his heart was about to fly, and he hurriedly replied: "Holy King, please command!" ā
"First get the king and the soldiers something to eat, of course, the king will make them pay the money. Rest for the night tonight, and take this king to a place tomorrow, and you will know when you go. Feng Yunshan said.
"My subordinates understand." Zhang Dashan turned around and happily arranged food and accommodation for the Holy King and the soldiers.
Early the next morning, under the leadership of Zhang Dashan and several locals, Feng Yunshan and the others went to a swamp six miles north of Xiangzhou Town.
Seeing this swamp, staff officer Zhang Wuming also shouted: "This is it!" The last time poison gas erupted, poisoning hundreds of brothers, it was in this horrible swamp. ā
Feng Yunshan stood on a hillside next to him, looking at the swamp not far away, the swamp was not big, about a mile wide and several miles long, and it continued to merge into a small stream, flowing into the right river in the south.
"Here? Staff Officer Zhang, do you remember where the poison gas was sprayed? Feng Yunshan asked, there should be an oil field under this swamp, but the eruption should be the center of the oil field and the highest point of the oil pool.
Zhang Wuming tilted his head and thought about it, looked at the swamp with palpitations, pointed to a two-acre waterhole, and said, "Holy King, that's it." ā
Feng Yunshan fixed his eyes and looked at it, yes, there is a waterhole in the entire swamp, which must have been formed by washing away the swamp during the oil and gas eruption.
After determining that this is the place where the poisonous gas erupted, combined with what he knew, this was indeed within the Tiandong Oilfield in later generations, and there was an oil field below Fengyun Mountain.
Immediately, Feng Yunshan asked the mayor of the town, Zhang Dashan, to find a thousand young men and bring hoes, shovels, water wheels and other things. He also made a few huge drill bits in the Weiji blacksmith shop, put them on the long wooden beams, and installed a few wooden bolts at the end of the wooden beams to facilitate the rotation of the drill bits.
He also sent people to Zhen'anfu City and Baise City, dispatched 500 soldiers from the local garrison troops, surrounded the entire swamp, and strictly entered the idle people.
Then, Feng Yunshan asked the more than 1,000 soldiers who followed him to cut down trees and bamboos from the nearby mountains and forests. Large trees are used to make wooden beams, erect shelves, and make levers and other utensils. The bamboo was made into hundreds of bamboo pipes, inserted into the swamp to disperse the poisonous gas, and sure enough, a small amount of residual oil and gas spewed out along the bamboo pipe, Feng Yunshan hurriedly ordered someone to ignite it with fire.
"Holy King, it's amazing! Unexpectedly, these poisons are afraid of fire! If I had known about it, I wouldn't have let so many brothers die tragically. Zhang Wuming's eyes widened and he exclaimed.
Zeng Yuheng, the vice minister of public works, knew that the Holy King had a way to deal with the poisonous gas, but he didn't know that the Holy King had come to this remote place in order to ignite the poisonous gas?
At this time, Zhang Dashan summoned thousands of young men from more than ten villages in the town and the surrounding area, and rushed to the swamp with miscellaneous digging and farming tools.
Feng Yunshan asked the more than 1,000 young men and more than 1,000 soldiers to work together, and more than 2,000 people spent a day and a half to drain the water in the swamp with a water wheel, and it took another three days to clean up all the silt on the surface of the swamp.
At this time, the black sand underneath is revealed. At this moment, the original swamp has completely disappeared, and it is a huge black depression. Seeing this depression, Feng Yunshan couldn't help but think of the scene of visiting the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang in later generations.
After digging for another two days, six or seven meters deep, I finally found the shaft of the fumarole.
Feng Yunshan asked everyone to use more than ten meters of ancient trees to erect a huge scaffold, and made a huge pulley set out of wood, which was hung with hemp rope and used to take soil.
Here, dozens of young people tied ropes and slipped into the soil pit, and began to excavate hard, straight down, widening the original jet shaft and digging a round well with a diameter of three meters.
Feng Yunshan asked Zeng Yuheng to be in charge of the overall well digging work, and Zhang Dashan led Qingzhuang to assist.
After digging for another two days, Zeng Yuheng came to report that he had dug nearly 20 meters deep and touched a rock layer, and the original blowout channel was blocked by things.
"To the rock formation? That said, it should be soon! Feng Yunshan was overjoyed, he knew that this Tiandong oilfield was a shallow oilfield, it should not be very deep, and it touched the rock formation at this moment, and it could erupt to the ground more than a year ago, indicating that the oil vein is very likely to be under this layer of rock formation.
"Come three hundred people, drill the king with a drill bit, and drill through the original blowout! The rest of the people are a mile away! Feng Yunshan ordered.
So, hundreds of people, in turn, worked together, like a grinder, pushing the wooden beams and began to rotate, driving the drill bit in the soil of the shaft to drill down.
Suddenly, there was a hissing sound, and then, a stench rushed out of the well, Feng Yunshan hurriedly let people light the fire, and suddenly, the fire was all over the sky, and the stench burned violently.
Rao is like this, there are still more than ten soldiers who were stunned by the poisonous gas, fortunately, Feng Yunshan had already prepared, let hundreds of people wear wet towels in advance, cover their mouths and noses, and hurriedly dragged the soldiers of the poison transport to the hillside, and when the wind blew, these people all woke up, looking at the blowout, they were all afraid for a while.
After spraying for two or three hours, the poisonous gas slowly became smaller, and when it came to the back, the fire was automatically extinguished. Seeing this, Feng Yunshan knew that the oil and gas in the oil well had been released, and he could rest assured that the oil could be extracted.
Feng Yunshan ordered to continue drilling, and more than ten cows were led over, pulling the wooden bolts on the wooden beams, and turning the drill bits like grinding, and at the same time, dozens of people pressed the wooden beams down. Finally, I felt a vibration of the drill bit, as if it had penetrated some stuck channel, and then I heard the sound of bubbling water, and water was bubbling up the drill bit.
Feng Yunshan personally stepped forward, listened carefully, and ordered: "Hang out the wooden beam drill bit!" ā
It took two hours to lift the 30-meter wooden beam drill out, and a closer look showed that the drill bit and the bottom of the wooden beam were all stained with a layer of greasy, black and viscous oil slurry.
"Oil! That's oil! I'm finally producing oil! Feng Yunshan was overjoyed, ignoring his image as a holy king, and shouted loudly!
Although everyone didn't know why the Holy King was overjoyed, seeing this, and after a few days of exhaustion, they finally saw something, even if it was black and ugly, and they rejoiced.
A pungent and familiar smell came, and Feng Yunshan took a deep breath.
What an unforgettable smell! Mixed with gasoline, diesel, kerosene and a disgusting smell, everyone covered their noses, but Feng Yunshan was intoxicated!
After two years, he thought that he had integrated into this era and completely become a member of it. But today, when he smelled this familiar smell again, he realized that deep down, he was still a lonely and homesick traveler.
It's like in his previous life, when he went on a business trip alone and saw the moon hanging above his head at night, he would think of the moon in his hometown and his parents. No matter how far away he is from his hometown, when he hears the music of Huaxia TV's "Weather Forecast", he will feel very warm, as if he is back to the time when he watched TV with his parents and family.
And now, Feng Yunshan is like this. Smelling the incomparably tempting smell of crude oil for him, he seemed to be back to the time when he had just graduated and joined the work, busy with the masters in the refinery.
For Feng Yunshan, this natural taste of crude oil is so mellow, so kind, with a special fragrance.
"I'm not far from that era! With this oil, maybe, even if I can't push the world to that era, I can get close to that era! Feng Yunshan thought secretly.
"Holy King, what should I do now?" Zeng Yuheng ran over and asked.
Feng Yunshan came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Next, it is to continue to drill down, then change the big drill bit, drill the shaft wide, and then take the copper oil drum, and use the pulley group to lift the oil." Remember, if the oil level drops, you can change the oil with water. Inject as much water as possible into the well, and the oil will be lighter than the water, and it will float up, and the oil can be extracted. ā
Feng Yunshan is talking about the most primitive artificial oil extraction.
He had already judged that the oil of this oil well was relatively heavy, and it could not self-inject oil, and there was no enough sealing equipment, so he could only adopt the primitive oil recovery method of drilling well water first.
After everything was ready, Feng Yunshan asked Zhang Dashan to take away the surrounding villagers and young people, and ordered the captive army to completely block the surroundings, make a fence with felled wood, encircle the entire oil well within a radius of four or five miles, and arrange soldiers to guard it day and night.
After the villagers left, Zeng Yuheng tied one piece of the seven copper barrels that had been prepared a long time ago to the hemp rope and put them into the oil well. The copper barrel was strong and heavy, and sank directly into the oil well, and after a while, when it was lifted again, seven barrels of black crude oil were lifted.
"Finally oiled!" Looking at these buckets of viscous black liquid, Feng Yunshan muttered, "I will let you shine in this era!" ā
