In DosBocas, south of Tampico, a drilling well has been erected by workers.

Compared with more than half a year ago, Odonis standing next to the drilling was obviously much haggard, but he still held up a little bit of energy when he looked at the drilling after the erection was completed.

Oil is not so easy to find, especially the high-yield self-blowing wells, if it weren't for this, Dohanni wouldn't have been looking for so many years in Tampico, and finally made himself almost bankrupt.

O'Donis is in a better position than Dohanni, at least he already had a decent well when he started. And after being appointed by Yan Shao as the manager of Petroleos Mexicanos, O'Donis contacted Standard Oil of the United States through a relationship he had formed during his tenure at the Institute of Geology, and supplied Standard Oil with crude oil at a price of $1 per barrel.

Well PEZ1 can produce more than $500,000 worth of crude oil per year, or about $1.5 million in silver. Even if the various expenses required for the company's operation are deducted, it can provide Yan Shao with more than 500,000 funds every year. This fund is even more than Yan Shao's manuscript fee, Gillette and Coca-Cola combined. Of course, this is related to the fact that Gillette and Coca-Cola are in the development stage and have not yet reached their historical status.

(At this time, foreign oil merchants were not required to pay taxes to the Mexican government after discovering oil, and this continued until February 18, 1918, when the Mexican government issued an order under the new constitution to levy taxes on land rents for oil reserves, royalties for mining areas, and extracted oil.) As a result, the U.S. government supported the policy of U.S. oil merchants in Mexico against the Mexican government, and in May 1920, with the support of the U.S. government and oil merchants, Obregón staged a coup d'état that overthrew the original Mexican government, also known as Carranza. ）

The discovery of Well PEZ 1 made Odonis a celebrity in Mexico.

Many people even came to threaten him because they coveted the land of Tampico, just because the production of Pez1 well was not very large, plus Odonis also had some connections in Mexico, and the most important thing was that Yan Shao, who was able to make decisions, had already left Mexico at that time, so those people could only dispel their thoughts at the least.

In the following six months, in order to repay Yan Shao's trust in him, Odonis drilled many oil wells. But most of them are similar to what Dohanni found at the beginning, and can only produce a few or dozens of barrels of crude oil per day, and although the rest of the production is relatively high, none of them can exceed a thousand barrels...

Because of this incident, there are no more people who come to the door and want to buy the company. However, this did not make O'Donnis breathe a sigh of relief, but made him more desperate.

He is willing to work for Yan Shao so hard, in addition to repaying Yan Shao's trust in him, another point is that he wants to take a breath and be kicked out of the Institute of Geology. He was going to find a self-blowing well with Tampico to prove his assertion right.

But for most of the year, all he found were small oil wells.

Even if Yan Shao never urged him, he still felt ashamed of people, which also made him work harder to find the location where there might be a self-blowout well, and now he was standing in one of the places where he thought he was most likely to have a self-blowout well...

"This is probably the one with the best chance of success..."

Looking at the land full of oil seedlings, O'Donis nodded to a Mexican named Demari on the drill.

The Mexican, Demarry, was the head of the workers at the drill, and after receiving O'Donis's signal, he hurriedly shouted to the workers below. "Let's get started!"

The workers who received the order turned on the boiler, and the drill bit slowly turned.

In the past six months, they have drilled at least 20 oil wells, and the highest one has produced less than 1,000 barrels, plus they are just workers, even if they drill a self-blowout well, there is no benefit, so naturally there is nothing to look forward to.

"Look at that guy, you're still dreaming there..."

On the rig, O'Donnis stood staring at the well, a worker working on it laughed and laughed.

"yes," a worker next to him grinned.

This kind of work, starting with Dohanni, has been carried out many times, so although drilling wells is not a safe job, they are not very nervous.

The huge drill bit gradually touched the ground, and at a speed visible to the naked eye, a deep pit more than half a meter wide was formed on the ground.

Seeing that the drill bit had gone deep into the ground, O'Donis became a little nervous. The location he chose was the best he had found in a period of time, and it was also the most likely place for a self-blowout well, so he had considerable expectations for this drilling of Odonis.

Seeing that Odonis was so nervous, the assistant on the side hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him. "Don't worry, I'm sure you'll find oil this time..."

As he spoke, he also looked over to the drilling platform, but he wasn't sure if he could find a self-blowing well here. After all, no one has found a blowout well in Mexico, and even the highest production is its own Pez1, and as for the high-yield large oil fields like the "spindle top" oilfield in the United States, there is no shadow.

Hearing the assistant's reassurance, O'Donnis nodded, and after taking a few deep breaths, his nervous mood stabilized a lot.

Time passed little by little, and the workers beside the derrick could no longer see the shadow of the drill bit, but there was still nothing to be found there.

At this point, the workers, who had been somewhat motivated, became completely lazy. It seemed to them that this time, as it had been in the past, nothing had come out, even the assistant who had been comforting Odonis.

"Is it true that there is not even a little oil?" slowly walked to the side of the drill, Odonis frowned slightly. It shouldn't be..."In his opinion, even if the self-blowout well cannot be found in the location chosen this time, some oil can be drilled, which can be seen from the vigorous oil seedlings around. But it's a little strange that there's nothing now...

"Did I misjudge?" Thinking of this, O'Donis leaned over to the drill.

Looking at the slowly turning drill pipe, Odonis could feel the vibration under his feet, but as he had done the previous times, he couldn't find anything this time. At this point, Odonis also became depressed, and just as he was about to stop the workers in the drilling, a strange sound suddenly came from the drilling hole.

Listening to this voice that was both strange and familiar, Odonis seemed to understand something. Then a black torrent surged from the hole drilled by the drill bit, and the momentum was so great that even the drilling bore.

Looking at the black torrent gushing out in front of him, O'Donis did not dodge like the other workers, but stood there and laughed happily, and did not leave until he was blackened by the raindrops of crude oil.

But I don't know if Lu Dao is happy and sad, after a violent shaking, a box of tools actually fell from the derrick, and the result happened to hit O'Donis's body. Later, after being dragged out of the derrick by his assistants and a few workers, O'Donis fainted before he could tell them to turn off the boiler.

He had fainted, and he did not know what to do, and it was this instruction that prevented a catastrophe that had happened in history.

Historically, the Dos Bocas 1 well he chose had a strong blowout, but the drillers at the time forgot to extinguish the boiler, which caused a fire in the oil well, which went out of control. In order to extinguish the fire, the Mexican government sent more than 200 soldiers, but there was no choice but to let the well spew crude oil every day, making the already raging fire even bigger, and the fire actually formed a "crater" with an area of several hectares, which burned for more than two months before it was extinguished naturally.

Not long after the oil well was drilled, Yan Shao, who was worried about money in Anhui, got the news that he had discovered the blowout well and Odonis was seriously injured. After learning that Odonis was actually injured by a falling tool, Yan Shao couldn't cry or laugh, but the discovery of the oil well was good news for Yan Shao...

Because this oil well can not only get Yan Shao out of the dilemma of lack of funds, but also give him the ability to carry out a counterattack, a counterattack that will be remembered by the Japanese.
