Chapter 696: Accident

After another two days, six wells had been drilled more than 3,000 meters below the sea, and still no one had recovered oil.

Half a month of drilling has cost more than five million.

At this rate, 50 million won't take long, let alone a year. If you can't extract oil within half a year, I'm afraid it won't last for a year.

Guo Xiang was also a little anxious.

She was sure that there must be oil in this sea, but she didn't expect it to cost so much, and it was all about money every day.

"Let's move!" Gu Zhennan said decisively, it was expected that he could not produce oil for the first time, and how many wells he drilled in the years when he was a worker rarely succeeded.

"All move to the next point." Gu Zhennan pointed to the location that had been circled on the map.

On the map, it looks close to the fact that it is still far away, and it is necessary to dismantle all the platforms and equipment and move them there, and it will cost a lot of money to load and unload the transportation costs, but there is no way, oil extraction is originally a work that costs money, but if you can extract oil, the return is also a hundred times and a thousand times.

"Let's dig two hundred meters down this well." Guo Xiang pointed to the place marked with Well No. 5, which happened to be the oil team led by Xun Qingguo.

Guo Xiang always had the impression that he had seen this piece on the news, so he didn't know if other places were similar and misremembered.

"Okay!" Gu Zhennan nodded, he was already doing it anyway, and it wouldn't take much to hit two hundred meters deeper.

Everyone drove to Well No. 5 together, Xun Qingguo was directing with a walkie-talkie, and then hit two hundred meters down.

The rumbling sound of drilling sounded again, and the workers received instructions to manipulate the drill pipe and start drilling down.

Suddenly, there was a "poof", and a stream of air rushed straight up from the ground, and a worker was swept into the sky at once, and then fell heavily into the sea.

"It's a blowout!"

"Help!"

Everyone was shocked.

"Quick, get the guys up!" Guo Xiang shouted and wanted to rush over, but Gu Zhennan grabbed her tightly, "Dangerous!" ”

Gu Zhennan has experienced two blowout accidents, the first time the master died, the second time his head was driven into a steel nail, and he almost divorced Guo Xiang, he knew the seriousness of this kind of accident.

There were also two workers next to them who were knocked to the side by the impact of the air flow and couldn't get up, and seemed to be injured, the derricks were staggered, and millions of equipment were also damaged.

Someone has already jumped into the sea to save people.

"Quick, go pull the mud, and barite, a lot of heavy mud will be pulled over......," Gu Zhennan shouted.

Pick up the walkie-talkie and give the command office an order, "All the heavy mud is pulled over to Well No. 5, the sooner the better!" ”

The blowout is mainly caused by the underground natural gas layer, and the balance between the gas layer and the underground pressure is broken after drilling, and the most common rescue method is to fill the dense barite mud into the well to increase the pressure and stop the blowout from continuing to occur.

On the other side, the workers rescued the person who fell into the sea, Guo Xiang hurriedly ran over, and saw that the person was unconscious, but he was not dead, but he was seriously injured and had multiple fractures all over his body.

"Quick, call the command office and call the ambulance!" Guo Xiang shouted, first help the wounded first aid bandage the wound.

Gu Zhennan immediately used the walkie-talkie to give an order to the command office.

Soon heavy mud was pulled over and mud was poured into the well.

Xun Qingguo ran onto the platform, and the other two injured workers were also pulled down.

"You all go, ...... far away," Xun Qingguo shouted.

If the blowout here can't be stopped, the gas will probably burn up and explode, and then all these people here will die.

"Team Xun!" Gu Zhennan shouted, his eyes turned red.

"Let's go!" Xun Qingguo shouted, picked up the muzzle of the mud tanker and poured it into the well.

Gu Zhennan pulled the driver who drove over, "How many barites are there?" ”

"Just this car, we don't have much reserve in the camp!" The driver said hurriedly.

Gu Zhennan hurriedly used the walkie-talkie to contact the command office, "Quick, ask the local oil company for help, call Director He, and ask them to send barite over!" Gu Zhennan almost roared.

On the other side, Guo Xiang walked away with a few injured workers, she knew that she couldn't play a role here, and it was a burden to stay, she couldn't drag Gu Zhennan down.

She regretted it a little, why did she let them drill down another two hundred meters, if it weren't for her words, it might not have happened.

But now ......, what to do?

This call for help, everyone knew that there was a blowout accident here, and Director He immediately sent someone to pull the barite over.

Minister Zhang happened to be in the province for a meeting, and when he heard about the situation, he immediately rushed here.

Although the oil wells are now contracted to Gu Zhennan, the state must come forward when a major accident occurs.

Gu Zhennan also rushed up, the mud stirred, and the mud continued to spray out, falling on him and Xun Taiguo's bodies, and the helmets were knocked off.

"What are you doing here?" Xun Qingguo shouted.

"I can't leave you here alone!" Gu Zhennan shouted, desperately holding down the mud gun to fill the mud down, the machine was still stirring, and the workers in charge of the mud below did not go away, wiping their tears and sticking to the side.

Guo Xiang watched from afar, and his tears couldn't stop falling.

A few more captains and workers from the northeast rushed over, and when they saw that the two were still holding on, they also ran up.

The barite from Director He's side was also delivered.

"Adjust the muddy water right away, go on!" One of the captains said that when he went up to change Xun Qingguo, he was too old to last long.

A steady stream of mud poured down, and everyone watched nervously from afar.

Several injured workers were taken away by ambulance.

Minister Zhang and several leaders of the oil company also arrived at the command office, and Gu Zhennan was replaced by others.

"What's going on now?" Minister Zhang asked.

"It's still under control for the time being!"

"What about the wounded?"

"There are three, not life-threatening, and they have been sent to the hospital."

"Is there enough mud?"

"Director He has already supported him, and the muddy water cycle has been re-established."

"What? Doesn't that mean the well is still being drilled? This is a major accident, why is it still not stopping? Someone said.

Gu Zhennan didn't say anything, there was a gas layer below, and it was likely that there was oil underneath.

"We can't go on like this, stop it now, and if we do this again, we will kill people!"

"It's been controlled!" Gu Zhennan said.

"Control? Is this kind of accident so easy to control? If it doesn't explode, how many people will have to die? Can you afford it? ”

Gu Zhennan was silent, and now he could only make a desperate bet.

But he trusted his own judgment, and now he had control over it.

"Yes, Mr. Gu, are you a little too conceited?" Zhang Jianliang, who came with him, was a little schadenfreude, he didn't listen to me for a long time, but now he regrets it, right?

"I'll just say, how can there be oil in this place? Now it's okay, the oil didn't hit, and the person almost died......"

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden shouting outside.

"Ahh

Everyone was startled and hurried outside.
