Even if the buzzing sound of the drilling rig is several hundred meters away, it can be heard clearly.

The representatives of the two oil barrels and Fina companies looked as usual, and only looked around with curious eyes from time to time, and Dahua Industrial's employees looked solemn.

The former is here to watch. They are not so concerned about whether Dahua's oil well can be drilled successfully, but Dahua's own people are different. In this situation, who is willing to lose face?

The order to continue to drill down was said by Su Cheng, and Gu Haijian and others had no choice but to stare at the phone, hoping that good news would come.

The long waiting is particularly worrying.

In the dull atmosphere, Gilles, the representative of Fina Company, laughed and said, "Dr. Su trusts Dahua's workers very much."

"Of course, Dahua Industrial's strategies can be implemented smoothly, relying on excellent grassroots employees. Without these workers, our oil development company should be closed." Su Cheng was happy and relaxed, following this topic: "Of course, training and screening are also essential. In my opinion, as long as China's current enterprises change the system that only enters but not leaves, they can increase some vitality."

Giles chewed France's big tongue and smiled: "France also has many national enterprises, but there are many restrictions on employment for private enterprises, and there are not many differences. Due to the union, there are a lot of losses every year. Chinese enterprises have advantages in this regard."

After nothing happened, Sucheng introduced the dividend system of Dahua Industrial and smiled and said, "Only talking about blue-collar workers, Dahua Industrial's highest-paid blue-collar workers last year received nearly 2 million yuan, or 230,000 US dollars. There are more than 20 blue-collar workers with more than 1 million yuan. Although it is not easy to convert RMB into US dollars, it is too easy to live in China. Basically, this is the highest salary in China, about 300 times that of ordinary workers. In terms of salary, it is also more than three times that of ordinary workers. Therefore, although the salary is lower than that of foreign companies, our employees' satisfaction is still quite high."

In January 1994, the official exchange rate of the RMB was combined with the foreign exchange adjustment price, and the RMB exchange rate against the US dollar also dropped from 5.8 to 8.7. On the books, the US dollar that can be exchanged for the same 1 million yuan has decreased. However, this reduction is only beneficial to Dahua or Dahua employees. On the one hand, domestic consumption is the main factor and will not affect the value of RMB assets. On the other hand, Dahua's new foreign exchange ratio has a large proportion of new profits. The relative depreciation of the RMB means that the income has actually increased.

Especially for Dahua employees who work abroad, they are passively given a salary increase. If you save some money, you can catch up with the average social income of two or three thousand yuan per year.

Gilles laughed twice and sighed: "The starting salary of French graduates in ordinary majors is about 30,000 US dollars, but oil majors are 60,000 US dollars, which is already a first-class and high salary. If they can be responsible for the drilling platform independently, their annual salary will be at least 300,000 US dollars or more. Otherwise, they will be stolen by foreign companies."

The oil industry is one of the most global industries. It is not only the globalization of materials and products, but also the globalization of employees. Understanding foreign languages ​​is almost a compulsory course for senior engineers. In fact, spending half a year on a boring drilling platform and spending time with foreign colleagues day and night, you can even speak half or not. After working two or three times, you should learn a foreign language.

Therefore, most oil employees in developed countries are applying for jobs all over the world. Especially in countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States, they have a very strong ability to attract foreign employees.

The representative of the Spanish Repsol company next to him grinned and said, "There is also a tax rate, a damn tax rate."

"The high income tax has greatly reduced our competitiveness." Gilles felt deeply. France and Spain are both high welfare countries and have high taxes that match them. The tax rate of up to 45 is levied to escape, and the middle class generally has to pay taxes of about 30.

No matter how rich a person is, it is always difficult to pay out, especially the illusory protection fees such as taxes always touch the pain points of multinational companies. Suddenly, several senior company executives found the topic and started talking enthusiastically.

The atmosphere in the observation and command room suddenly relaxed, and Gu Haijian took the opportunity to re-calm his mood, sat in front of the computer, and began to think again.

"No matter what the result is, perforation is the safest." Gu Haijian made a quick decision and ordered it.

The Institute of Ocean Petroleum is still the largest institute in Dahua Laboratory, and its annual funding ranks first among Dahua Laboratory. Neither the old three-time oil production institute nor the emerging carbon fiber institute can be compared with it.

The main reason is that the oil fields owned by Dahua Industrial are basically marine oil.

Dahua Industrial’s goal is also to be offshore oil.

This is a helpless thing. The competition for onshore oil is fierce. Even the former Soviet Union's territory is competed for by members of the former Soviet Union's Communist Youth League. The remaining large onshore oil fields are either conflicting areas or barren lands. With the ability of Dahua Industrial, the only direction that can be competed for is marine oil.

Most companies have made corresponding adjustments, and it will be possible to see a large number of onshore energy assets again in the era of shale gas development.

In order to adjust the most important assets of Dahua Industrial at any time, Gu Haijian has a science team that responds 24 hours a day. This time he came out, he even formed a working group to stand by at any time.

After following the command of perforation analysis, the people below began to skillfully build models and prepare to use a large computer for analysis.

He was ready to drill the hole to 3,500 meters and still couldn't see any signs of oil.

At that time, even if there are pores that can produce oil from 2500 meters to 3000 meters, the oil test will not be successful in ordinary methods, so the only way is to choose perforation.

A depth of 500 meters, even if you have enough time, you cannot shoot down step by step. It is particularly important to find the position based on pressure and other information.

For large computers in the 1990s, such simulation calculations were also quite large.

Time passes by minute by minute.

After about 2 hours, the sound of the drilling rig gradually slowed down.

Although Su Cheng and others had a good chat, their ears were all standing up, and the background noise changed slightly, so everyone noticed it.

"Dudu..."

The phone sounded a little hoarse, like another opposite of the sound of waves.

Gu Haijian suddenly raised his head and made a crackling sound on his neck.

"Li Hu?" Su Cheng picked up the phone.

"I saw oil flowers, although it was rare, I was sure I saw them." Li Hu's voice came from the other end.

"What are you going to do?" The appearance of oil flowers is a sign of drilling through the oil and gas layer, but it is not certain that the thickness of the oil and gas layer is, or it may even be an isolated area. Therefore, a small amount of oil flowers does not necessarily require oil testing.

After a brief hesitation, Li Hu said: "The data measured with drilling is ordinary, but I want to try it."

"I agree. Once the oil is discharged, conduct oil quality inspection as soon as possible."

"Okay, we will do a well completion and oil test." Li Hu was obviously much more nervous than here, and his work today needs to bear more pressure than usual.

On the drilling platform, the sound of "squeaking" began to sound, which was the derrick bearing the pressure.

"Down the casing." Li Hu roared again, and vaguely spread to the auxiliary ship along the sea breeze.

After the casing was removed, the cementing operation was carried out. Several Dahua workers were covered with heavy mud to press the well.

Next, we reach the critical perforation stage.

The perforator is connected by cables, and goes down to the target section of 3378 meters, waiting for excitation at any time. The perforator is equipped with perforator bullets and explosive columns. After the latter is activated, the perforator will shoot out like shrapnels. The high-speed jet will pass through the casing and mud and penetrate rocks at a certain distance. If the casing reaches the correct oil layer, the oil layer being shot through will be diverted, thereby continuously producing oil.

Everything was about to stop, and Li Hu was sweating all over.

He did not call to apply again, but after confirming it repeatedly, he pressed the button.

The mud made a "pop" sound, spitting out a few bubbles.

Li Hu stared at various data nervously.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

One minute.

The expected oil explosion did not occur.

"Failed?" Li Hu looked at the deputy captain with a serious look.

The deputy captain glanced at the data he received and asked, "Will you repay Mr. Su?"

Li Hu sighed, then straightened his waist again in an instant, and said, "Try again!"

"This...is of course no problem to try again, but you shouldn't report it first..."

"Don't rush to report bad news." Li Hu said, personally operating the previous steps and replacing a new perforator.

The Dahua workers on the drilling platform are in a hurry. Like the oil production team, they also have assessment tasks and bonus systems. Drilling oil wells and high-yield wells are all projects with bonus and assessment. Everyone hopes that this drilling and mining can be successful.

"Pooh"

The heavy mud bulged upwards with a bubble.

Li Hu waited for a few minutes but still couldn't feel the throbbing of the volcanic eruption.

"What should I do?" asked the deputy captain.

"Change the place and reach...3210 meters." Li Hu is not the one who cannot accept the failure, but the place and time of the failure this time are too wrong.

It took a lot of time to change the position of the perforation, and the drilling rig had already stopped. Not long after, Gu Haijian called Li Hu with Su Cheng's consent.

In the still hands-free state, Gu Haijian said: "We think it is the most promising to arrange casing perforations starting from 2830 meters. If Captain Li agrees, please adjust it to 2830 meters..."

Li Hu was brave and said, "We only saw oil flowers around 3,300 meters. We should try the position after 3,200 meters. If it doesn't work, then shrink to 2,830 meters."

"You have seen very few oil flowers. Since that's the case, I think it may be the oil production layer that drills through in advance..."

"I don't think it was the oil flower rolled up later. It has good integrity and the mud is not contaminated." Li Hu looked at the location of the auxiliary ship.

"It starts from 3,200 meters." Su Cheng chose the scene again and turned a blind eye to Gu Haijian's expectations.

He knew better than anyone else about the huge size of the Azijiu oil field. Its oil layer will basically not appear without any signs. The oil layer here is too big and can't hide it even if you want to.

The 2860-meter-long oil rate has been carefully inspected. Although Su Cheng didn't know where the oil rate was the highest, he did know that the 2860-meter-long oil rate was the lowest.

This is perhaps an independent oil field.
