Generally, it takes fourteen or fifteen days to drill an oil well, and if it is a professional oil company to drill, it can be eleven or twelve days or even ** days. (The first text is published in the reading room biquge.info)

It has been two weeks since Situ Nan came to Shengda Fenquan, and the machine is still rumbling non-stop, although Situ Nan sometimes goes hunting with He Wenxiu when he is bored, and he looks confident on the surface, but now that so much time has passed, Pratt analyzed the composition of the rock drilled out, trying to find the oily rock, but the result is still disappointing, and Situ Nan's heart slowly sinks.

It's a lie to say that he is not in a hurry, he has invested so much, if he gets a blister, it will be a very big blow to Situ Nan.

Because he decided to drill a well here based on the memories of his previous life, in his previous life, in 1921, the American oil tycoon Paul Gertie discovered and drilled a large oil field here, could it be that the soul crossing over will change the geological structure here?

If that's the case, aren't those memories useless? The so-called foresight that I am proud of has failed, so how can I mix it up?

Situ Nan firmly believed that he would succeed, and he secretly cheered himself up in his heart, for fear of spreading the frustration to everyone, so he still had an unhurried look on his face, smiling and encouraging Hayes to continue to work hard.

Hayes worked hard to operate the drilling rig, and the underground soil and rocks were brought out by the machine, "Bang Bang", the drilling rig vibrated violently, and it seemed to have touched something hard, presumably the underground rock layer, in this case, the drilling work became very difficult, and the progress of the underground came to a halt for a while.

"Hey, boss, we're in trouble." Hayes said.

"What's the matter?" Situ Nan had a bad premonition, but he still asked calmly.

"We've come across a solid rock layer, and we don't know how thick it is, so it's going to take a lot of effort." Hayes said.

"Can you still work?" Situ Nan asked, hoping that the progress of drilling would not be hindered by the difficulties in front of him.

"No, we have to wait, the drill bit is worn out now, and the heat is terrible, and if you continue, you can destroy it." Hayes has experience in this area, he said truthfully.

"Oh, that's it, let's stop first, everyone is tired, let's have a glass of wine first. I'm in for a treat. Situ Nan said with a smile, as if it was just a trivial matter.

"Pratt, Hayes, come with me." Situ Nan beckoned Pratt over, and he had to ask this professional about the specific matter.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Situ Nan asked.

"Heyer said yes, it was a rock formation, and it was a very strong and thick rock formation." Pratt said, holding a rock specimen.

Situ Nan looked at the drilled stone, it was very hard, and he wanted granite a little.

"Can you pierce it? How much longer? Situ Nan asked, this was the question he was most concerned about.

"Theoretically, yes, but under the current technical conditions, according to the current progress, it may take two or three weeks, or more, during which there may be a danger of damage to the drill bit." Hayes said, now with a heavy look on his face.

Hayes's words made Situ Nan's heart sink, he didn't have much money left, if he couldn't drill through this well in the shortest possible time, his current career might die because of the exhaustion of funds, which was the last thing Situ Nan wanted to see. Hey, crossing is not omnipotent, is it that you are so miserable? Situ Nan secretly cried bitterness in his heart.

The three of them fell silent, and suddenly Hayes said, "Why don't you dig another well in another place?" "For him, it's a fight anywhere.

"What do you say?" Situ Nan turned to Pratt, he wanted to continue drilling, but if he couldn't, he had to drill another well. Although facing the embarrassing situation of running out of funds, Situ Nan thought of the diamond, and could only sell him secretly when the time came.

"If you can't find oil here, there's no other place to go. The geological structure of this highland is an anticline, and there will be no oil anywhere else except in the vicinity of here. Pratt said steadily.

Speaking of which, it was back to the original problem, Situ Nan felt a big head, he carefully recalled the situation of seeing four oil tycoons in Texas make a fortune in his previous life, and one of them seemed to have encountered a similar problem, so how did he overcome this difficulty? Situ Nan couldn't think of anything for a while, there must be a way to study, but he didn't think of it for a while, hell! It's maddening!

"Drink your saliva! It's been a busy day for a long time. He Wenxiu didn't know when he appeared next to Situ Nan, he heard their words just now, but Lao He didn't know anything about this, and when he saw that Situ Nan was in a hurry, he persuaded him.

"What did you just say? Say it again! Situ Nan's mind flashed with a hint of inspiration, as if he had faintly grasped something.

"Let's drink saliva, I've been busy for a long time!" He Wenxiu said it earlier, and secretly wondered in his heart, could it be that people's hearing will decline when they are in a hurry?

Water!

"It's water! I finally remembered! "Thank you, Lao He! Situ Nan suddenly jumped up happily and hugged He Wenxiu.

Situ Nan's enthusiasm makes He Wenxiu, a rough man, a little embarrassed, you must know that you are familiar with it, but I am not that kind of person, I don't have that kind of tendency.

A hint of blush flashed on He Wenxiu's dark cheeks, but it was covered by a thick beard, just when he wanted to push Situ Nan away, Situ Nan had already let go of him, and said excitedly, "I know how to drill through the rock layer, add water, first, the rock layer can be softened, and second, the drill bit can be washed so that it is not easy to damage." ”

"Is that okay? Never like you've ever done anything like this? But that's the only way to do it at the moment. Hayes and Pratt were a little skeptical, but a dead horse should be a live horse doctor, try it!

Rumbling, with the roar of the steam engine, the rig was back to work under Hayes's skillful operation.

In fact, as Situ Nan said, after adding water, the situation has changed a lot, and the rocks have been drilled out little by little, although the progress has been much slower, but Situ Nan's heart has rekindled hope.

The whole drilling rig only advanced three or four meters, compared to the previous speed, such a speed is really a snail crawling, but you have to endure it, I hope this rock layer is not too thick! Situ Nan couldn't help but pray to God that he would grant him a little good luck.

Perhaps God finally heard the prayer of Situ Nan, a false believer, or perhaps God is merciful and loving and will not care about this little impiety, so the following scene is born.

On the third day, Hayes was concentrating on operating the drill rig as usual, the vibration of the rig, the roar of the rig could not hinder the strong man's tenacious heart at all, he felt like an indestructible drill bit was spinning at high speed, moving forward little by little, until it seemed as if something was being punched through below, the rig vibrated violently, and a huge force seemed to be about to erupt!

Is it?······

It was as if there was an irrepressible swelling of excitement in Hayes's heart, only to see that suddenly the earth vibrate, and a stream of black shot out from the ground, shooting into the air ten meters high!

Yes!!!

Is it oil!!

Oiled!!

Everyone shouted excitedly, dancing and jumping up, not minding being splashed on their bodies by the falling crude oil, like a black mud monkey!

Situ Nan looked at the high oil spray, his heart had never felt as attracted by the black spray as it was now, it was one of the most beautiful scenery he had seen in his life.

There is no doubt that this underground is a very large oil field, which is about to bring rich returns to Situ Nan, at this moment Situ Nan's heart finally fell, no longer have to be afraid, all the pressure is gone at once, Situ Nan looked at this qiē with a smile, and felt great.

"Hurry, pay attention to fire prevention, pay attention to fire prevention." The experienced Hayes shouted, yes, if there was a little spark on the scene, it could have caused a serious accident.

Everyone understands this, but they get carried away and forget about it, and after being reminded by Hayes, everyone immediately did a good job of blocking the wellhead in an orderly manner.

The oil was drilled, and the hard work finally paid off, and although everyone was physically tired, they were excited in their hearts. In the evening, after painstakingly washing off the oil stains on his body, Situ Nan and the workers held a field celebration banquet at the station.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have a few words to say", Situ Nan took the wine glass, pressed down with one hand to signal quiet, and said to the workers, "In view of everyone's hard work and unity, our work has achieved such results, I am very grateful for everyone's efforts, so I think everyone deserves to be rewarded for their efforts!" ”

Situ Nan paused, and found that everyone was quiet, staring at him with burning eyes, and everyone realized what kind of reward Situ Nan might have.

I saw Situ Nan smile and said, "I decided to reward Hayes with 10% of the proceeds of this well, and everyone will see his efforts." Ten percent of the reward goes to Pratt, his technique has helped me a lot. The others are rewarded with one percent each! I hope you will continue to work hard to drill more oil. ”

"Oo·······oo The cattle screamed excitedly, everyone knew that the oil content of this well was very high, and one percent of the income was indeed a great reward, at least a thousand dollars and maybe more than 10,000 dollars. You must know that the wages of oil workers today are only two or three dollars a day, and a thousand dollars has to be saved by an oil worker for two or three years. Besides, Situ Nan has already paid his salary, which is an additional reward, so everyone is very satisfied with this announcement.

It is difficult to eat alone, it is better to be happy alone, and only the alliance of interests is stable. Situ Nan understands this, so he wants to give Hayes a little sweetness.

As the saying goes, if you want a horse to run, you have to feed the grass! In addition to Hayes, there are several workers, and according to the calculation of one percent of each person's oil well, even He Wenxiu, who accompanied Situ Nan on hunting, has one percent of the income from one oil well.

Situ Nan rewarded less than 30 percent of the income from an oil well, and most of it was still in his own hands.

The most important thing is that Situ Nan confirmed that his memory was correct, he had bought this large piece of land, as long as he confirmed that there was oil underground, there would be hundreds or thousands of oil wells drilled at that time, so Situ Nan's efforts were just a drop in the bucket compared to what he was about to get.

Of course, the reason why he did this was that everyone's efforts should be rewarded, and secondly, Situ Nan saw not only this little benefit in front of him, but he had to entrap these people if he wanted to drill more oil, and only if everyone's efforts continued, Situ Nan's career would develop and grow.

"Boss, I'll toast you!" Hayes walked up to Situ Nan and said gratefully, this was his biggest gain. Indeed, a handsome reward touched the young and precocious young man, who was eager to serve to the death.

"Work hard, I hope to get more help from you in my career." Situ Nan patted Hayes on the shoulder and smiled knowingly.

This is somewhat funny, because Situ Nan is younger than Hayes, and he is not as tall as Hayes, but it does not prevent Hayes, a simple young man, from having a very useful feeling.

Situ Nan put down the shelves and played with the workers, who all admired the young boss.

Naturally, a wealthy and generous boss will easily win the loyalty of the workers.

"Seriously, I admire your vision, boss." "I didn't read the book at the time, and when I encountered the rock formations, I might have given up if it were me," Pratt exclaimed. ”

"So you made the boss." Situ Nan joked, "Actually, I'm also blind, but I succeeded after all, didn't I?" ”

Situ Nan took a sip of wine and continued: "The current oil exploration technology is not strong enough, and many people prefer to believe in feelings, but I think you are right, why? Because you're a professional, I'll listen to you and keep drilling! I believe that with the advancement of technology, more and more oil will be explored, and I hope to have the support of your technology. Of course, you are still young now, and you need more practice to enrich your theoretical level, I want to leave the technical aspects of the future to you in charge, maybe when the conditions are ripe, we can also set up a special research institute, that is your world. Situ Nan painted a bright picture for the fledgling geoengineer in front of him, and he didn't believe that Pratt was not moved!

In the past few days, Situ Nan has already remembered that Pratt was an outstanding American oil expert in his previous life, known as "the greatest oil seeker"!

Pratt was not only a brilliant geologist, but also a brilliant businessman, and he founded a well-known petroleum technology company that made outstanding contributions to American oil exploration technology, not only theoretically but also materially.

Situ Nan regarded Pratt as an important partner, so he managed to win over this technician, who was still very young. Indeed, he did, and Pratt would later become a powerful helper in Situ Nan's future career.

The money journey is bright, Situ Nan seems to see the banknotes drifting into his sleep like snowflakes, that night, he slept so sweetly!
