Chapter 370 Exploration Land
Kuwak's temporary camp was called "The Iron-Daoying Camp" by Chinese logistics staff. Because the exploration team came here, they would go to the oil area for up to two days of rest. Teams of people came and left, responding to the words "The Iron-Daoying Camp" and "The Iron-Daoying Camp" and "The Iron-Daoying Camp" and "The Iron-Daoying Camp" and "The Iron-Daoying Camp" will be on the oil area for a maximum of two days.
The term "Iron Camp" was soon accepted by foreigners. Whether it was the Soviets, Japanese, Norwegians and Brazilians invited by the Singapore and Malaysians, they all used the Iron Camp to call their general logistics base.
However, they are not because of that Chinese proverb, but because of supplies from China.
A large number of derricks, winches, sky trucks, drilling rigs, tons of drill rods, casings, wire ropes, weighted rods, boxed drill bits, faucets, vibrating screens, gears, belts...
The materials piled up in the Iron Camp are getting more and more large, and in just one month, the abandoned logging farm has become a small town piled with steel. Chinese people come and go, occupying most of the places and providing increasingly rich food and daily necessities.
These small commodities were originally provided to Moscow. Several Chinese small bosses found business opportunities sensitively and supplied them to Kuwak. They not only met the needs of the Chinese, but also sold them to foreigners at high prices. They made more money than going to Moscow. Since then, they have been specializing in such business.
The Singapore-Malaysia Group and Ito Trading Company assumed that they did not see it, allowing the Chinese to provide them with high-priced goods... Compared with this, the railway between China and Russia is obviously more convenient, and the types of products are transported are also more diverse. However, Japan-Singapore can only use air transportation measures, and the cost will be higher. If there is no exchange between Chinese merchants, they have to go to Russia to purchase.
In general, life in the temporary camp in Kuwak gradually became comfortable. The Chinese made a boiler room at an unprecedented speed, prepared a bathhouse, and heated the growing number of camping rooms. The canteen that can be served for more than 100 people to eat at the same time was also built. There was even a restaurant run by a small Chinese boss next to it, which operated cooking and served wine, and soon became the main place for entertainment in the camp...
As the road improves, the tense supply of materials is over. Most people come over easily, but Lee Zhengfu is an exception.
As long as he sees Su Cheng, he will feel thrust in his heart.
There were too many Chinese exploration teams passing by the Kuwak Camp. When the 20th exploration team passed by, Li Zhengfu gave up the idea of technical crushing. The number of exploration teams hired by Dahua Industrial has completely offset their technological advantages. Even if the two companies each spent half of the money, the cost of outsourcing the exploration team was unwilling to bear.
Li Zhengfu was anxious about periodontal inflammation, and his mouth was full of ulcers and was in pain. When he saw a large number of drilling equipment entering, he became even more anxious. While urging his own exploration team, he complained to Ito Nobuki: "I spent more than 7 million US dollars in a month, and it was even behind the speed of the Chinese. I dare not return to China now. If the board of directors asks me, I don't know how to answer."
Ito Nobuge was covered in fur, his voice came from behind the scarf and said muffled: "Since they haven't sent the drilling team out yet, they are not sure of the exploration location. In theory, the progress of both of us is the same. If you are worried, you can start preparing drilling supplies."
Li Zhengfu curled his lips and his eyes narrowed in pain: "We only hired 5 drilling teams, so where do we need to prepare supplies like them? However, I am a little doubtful. Do they need to prepare drilling supplies now..."
"Unless they have a large number of drilling teams." Nobuki Ito said reluctantly: "Although I don't want to admit it, it is indeed possible. But..."
Nobuge Ito quickly adjusted his mood and encouraged: "The drilling team we hired is world-class, and has construction experience in cold areas, so the speed must be faster than Dahua Industrial."
He pointed to the somewhat formed exploration map on the table and said, "Even if you are a little behind, you won't be too far behind. Our initial survey is almost completed."
"I hope so." Li Zhengfu has already pinned his hopes on subsequent steps such as exploration and analysis and drilling.
Privately, Li Zhengfu even looked forward to good luck.
Exploration is indeed about luck. No matter how intensive the exploration work is, it is not a real "census", but just a relatively intensive selection of exploration points.
One millionth of gravity and magnetic census, the point distance can be three or four kilometers, and the line distance may be six or seventy kilometers. One millionth of gravity and magnetic census or one hundred or ten thousandth of gravity and magnetic census, it is impossible to cover everything.
The final exploration map is still a geometric figure of a series of dots and lines.
However, if an important point is not measured, for example, in a closed circle, a two-kilometer-wide breakpoint just escapes the net, it is possible to get a completely opposite conclusion.
Li Zhengfu only hopes that his exploration team can get more correct results than Dahua Industrial's exploration team.
At the same time, Su Cheng was also observing the exploration map on the desktop.
Every two days, the exploration team will use radio to send the latest news to the command center. If there is a major discovery, people will often send them to send the original data.
Kuwak's exploration map has gradually become richer, but it has not yet reached the point where it can determine the drilling location.
Engineers from Dahua Laboratory Oil Production Institute have been in a fierce debate since two days ago.
"The electric uplift in North No. 3 should be given priority to digging a parameter well, and an exploration team should be sent to determine the well position of the electric uplift. This is most beneficial to the development of the entire oil field." Nian Zhongxue is a local exploration expert. He has worked in the Petroleum Corporation for more than 10 years and participated in several large-scale oil exploration work. He jumped jobs before the New Year under the unified public relations of the Human Resources Department of Dahua Group. More than a dozen people have jumped jobs in the same time as Nian Zhongxue. Su Cheng also upgraded the Third Oil Research Institute to the Dahua Laboratory Oil Research Institute, which has its own drilling and oil research institute and oil research institute. The Third Oil Research Institute is still Dahua's advantageous project. Since its investment, it has world-class strength. The Drilling and Oil Research Institute has just been established and has poor reputation. As the deputy director, Nian Zhongxue has performed very strongly and has a relatively tough attitude.
Ran Zian Wenwen, who is also the deputy director of the Drilling and Oil Production Institute, was weak. He gently pushed the gold-edged glasses frame and said, "I think the first thing to consider is the gravity high of South No. 2. Look at the closed circle formed by the high gravity outliers in this circle, the mass remaining in the surrounding strata is very large, and three geological teams have reached a cross conclusion. I combined the gravity anomaly curves of the three geological teams on a graph. Please see, the three anomaly positions are basically the same, all of which are south, northeast and west. Moreover, the long axis of the three gravity anomaly is basically on the same axis, that is, from near east to south, northeast to west, from east to west, with a solid line of 165 mma, a dotted line of 165 mma, and then 170 and 175 mma..."
The exploration of an oil field is not about an exploration team each managing one piece, but is intertwined when there are fragments, thereby providing analysts with mutually verified data.
Ran Zian is an expert hired by Dahua Industrial from abroad, and is a classmate of Gu Haijian from the Institute of Ocean Petroleum. Compared with local Nian Zhongxue and others, he has stronger pure academic abilities, but lacks practical experience.
Despite this, the overlapping diagram of the gravity anomaly curve made by Ran Zian was still very convincing. Su Cheng nodded to Yang Ming, who was on a whiteboard, pushing the iron absorber representing the South No. 2 upwards.
There is a row of iron absorbers on the whiteboard with the name of the drilling location written in two rows, which means priority. Which theory is considered to be more valuable will be at the forefront, and will be explored and drilled earlier.
Unlike exploration teams, mainly cost and equipment rental costs, the cost of drilling teams is very high. In 1991, the cost of per meter of exploration well in China exceeded 1,600 yuan, and 3,000 meters required 4.8 million yuan. If a deep well above 6,000 meters, the cost would be doubled and doubled. As for foreign drilling teams, the asking price often starts from one million US dollars, and is priced on a ruler. In this case, drilling less wells can save at least several million yuan.
Normal exploration is to drill shallow wells at one or several high points, further analyze, then drill deeper parameter wells and benchmark wells, and after analysis again, further confirm and analyze, then repeatedly demonstrate, modify, supplement, and then start drilling.
Even if you start drilling, you cannot immediately get oil. You still need to focus on studying the geological conditions, then conduct continuous focus and research, so that you can have the opportunity to test the oil.
Although complex steps are wasteful, they are relatively time-saving and labor-saving, especially money-saving methods. Few companies drill several wells in an oil field at the same time, because exploration wells are pure investment. Drilling one well and ten wells is no different from the final oil field output. Therefore, investors always hope to succeed at one time, at least once, and then invest limited funds into production wells, rather than betting like gambling.
However, Dahua Industrial is involved in racing exploration. The normal method is not available. Sucheng is planning to use 20 million yuan to drill four wells first, and then analyze the results.
4 wells and 20 million sound like a lot, but it is still far from enough for an oil field.
Whether it is an electrical uplift or a high gravity, it is a range on the map for preliminary exploration, but when drilling, it can only be points but not surfaces. When it is implemented on the map, the position is smaller than the needle tip.
To determine the exact well position, an exploration team also needs to carry out meticulous earthquake work to know the high point. There are often several high points, which may produce oil, or may not... This result of high input and low output will always make people feel crazy.
The craziest gambling in the world is not the poker game in Las Vegas, nor the Russian roulette, but oil development.
The cost of every oil company sinking every year at the cost of exploration is enough to build a new casino in Las Vegas. This huge expenditure, while bringing huge economic power to oil companies, also creates huge pressure.
The exploration image composed of simple lines is a graffiti made by kindergarten students, but none of the 12 experts from China dare to underestimate it.
For China Petroleum Corporation, which is a small and weak power, determining the well position is a serious matter. Before the 1980s, this was a major event that required approval from the Ministry of Petroleum.
