Chapter 45: Huasheng No. 1
Everett. Plum. De Gorier is a leading figure in the world of oil exploration, the founder of the Amerada Petroleum Company, and the founder of the American Society of Petroleum Geologists.
In 1910, the Potro Lano No. 4 well, which created a world miracle, was personally set by him, and this high-yield oil well can spew out 15,000 tons of crude oil per day, with an annual output of more than 5.4 million tons.
Incidentally, the Potro Drano No. 4 well, which was a world wonder in 1910, is located in Tampico.
Of course, at this time, Tampico or the whole of Mexico had not yet discovered a high-yield oil well with a production of more than 10,000 tons, and there were not even slightly larger oil fields. Pearson, who was supposed to have discovered Well No. 1 in Dospocas in mid-1908, had to sell his land to Yan Guang because of the bankruptcy crisis.
And De Gorier, who should have already started his exploration work, is now just a recent graduate.
Historically, De Gorier was recommended by the Director of the Federal Geological Survey to come to Mexico to work for Pearson's Mexican Eagle and help him find the Potrodrano 4 well.
However, because Pearson did not find the Dospocas 1 well as he did in history, De Gorier was not recommended by the director of the Federal Geological Survey to work in Mexico and completed his studies at the University of Oklahoma.
However, after completing his studies, de Goriel traveled to Mexico himself, exploring several of the places where oil is most likely to be found in Mexico, including Tampico.
De Goriel had a crush on Pearson's Mexican Eagle, and had packed his bags and returned to the United States to ask for a letter of recommendation from the director of the Federal Geological Survey, who admired him very much, but just as he was leaving for Tampico, news came that Tampico had changed hands...
De Goriel had no choice but to go back to the United States and ask the director of the Geological Survey for a new letter of recommendation.
At this point he was less worried that Tampico would change hands again, as it was well known that there were no major oil fields, and that the Chinese businessman had drilled a productive well before he arrived.
OK...
Before he arrived, Yan Guang had drilled some shoddy oil wells.
Of course, Yan Guang, who had a poor knowledge base, had never heard of Degauril's name, but he still had considerable trust in Degauril, a young man who firmly believed that there was a large oil field in Tampico, and even personally accompanied him to various places in Tampico to explore for oil.
Although De Gorier was a madman in the eyes of several experts, they were also happy to hide in the company's building to make soy sauce and watch De Goriel and Yan Guang running around outside.
It's just that soon they won't be happy, because while they were hiding in the office drinking coffee, Wang Er took a dismissal letter written by Yan Guang and told them to get out of the way completely.
Under the watchful eye of Wang Er and several bodyguards, the experts who packed up their things dared not speak out.
"Two madmen, they still want to find a large oil field in such a hellish place? Pure dreaming. After a few words, these experts could only leave with a faint sense of superiority.
In their opinion, it is impossible to find a large oil field in a place like Tampico, even if it is 10,000 years old.
However, after thinking of helping to recommend De Gorier, but he and the others were going to get out, several experts were still unbalanced.
So, in the exchange meeting of the explorers of Mexico City, there was another joke about De Gorier.
People say he's one. "Maniacs who want to find large oil fields and productive wells in Tampico." And Tampico has officially become synonymous with the absence of oil, although there are still many low-quality oil wells there.

At this time, Yan Guang and De Goril were riding in a carriage, rushing to another place where there might be oil.
These days, De Gau Lil has already selected seven positions for Yan Guang, and this will be the eighth, which is a good number, and Yan Guang likes it too.
"Boss, this is it." After jumping out of the carriage, Degauriel said to Yan Guang.
With that, Degoril ran into the distance and found some unknown liquid from the crack in the ground for Yan Guang to see. "These are the oil seedlings."
"This is the oil seedling?" Yan Guang scratched his head. "I listened to those experts all day long, and when the oil seedlings went, I thought it was a plant that only grows where there is oil."
Degoril grinned. "The so-called oil seedlings are the traces of oil in the earth's crust on the ground, which can be said to be one of the important signs of searching for oil."
Yan Guang ran to the crack just now, and also reached down to dig it out, and finally took out a lot of unknown liquid that was the same as in De Gorier's hand.
For three or four months, although Yan Guang would watch every time he drilled a well, those experts would never explain to Yan Guang what oil seedlings were and how to find places with oil, they just found a few places outside and took people to drill wells.
Now listening to De Gouril say this, Yan Guangzhi's confidence in him has increased a lot.
"At least, he's a lot better than those pieces of shit." Thinking so in his heart, Yan Guang took De Goriel back to the company's residence. There, Yan Guang learned from Wang Er's mouth that the experts had gotten out.
"Good." Yan Guang nodded, although spending some money to raise a few waste experts was nothing to Yan Guang, but now that he had obtained De Gorier, Yan Guang had no choice but to let these waste experts who always had a faint sense of superiority in front of him get out.
And De Gorier was also surprised when he heard that those experts were dismissed by Yan Guang, after all, he was recommended by them in the first place.
But when I think of those guys, they always say that they are crazy behind their backs, and sometimes they even show a sense of superiority of normal people over crazy people in front of themselves...
Forget it, it's okay if those guys get out, at least they will make themselves feel a lot happier.
Without those few guys who could only stand aside to make soy sauce and talk cool words, the workers below were also much more diligent, and soon several drilling derricks were erected.
I don't know if it's luck, or De Gorier's ability is indeed much stronger than those experts, the first well actually drilled a lot of oil, although it is not as terrifying as the Dos Pocas 1 well and the Pietre Rodrano 4 well, but it is also a high-yield oil well with a production of more than 2,000 tons.
"This is the real oil," Yan Guang muttered as he watched the oil spewed out of the well.
And De Gorier on the side had already hugged Wang Er excitedly, although the oil well that was later named Huasheng No. 1 by Yan Guang was not a 10,000-ton well, but at least it proved that Tampico could find a high-yield oil well.
And finding a productive oil well in Tampico is a powerful riposte to the guys in Mexico City who say they are crazy?
