Chapter 602 Two Elephants
The two consecutive suggestions were not adopted by Su Cheng. Gu Haijian couldn't help but examine himself, and then realized that the arguments were not prepared enough.
The initial location selection of the No. 503 offshore drilling platform was not based on the No. 1 oil production well. Now it is not appropriate to assume that the two occupy the same oil layer or oil field.
Gu Haijian was also restricted by his inherent experience. After reflecting on it, he became much calmer.
Perforation is a very laborious task, and it is no less complicated than that of ancient cannons. Li Hu and others couldn't get fast even if they wanted to.
At this moment, the rapid response group of the Institute of Ocean Petroleum also faxed the analysis report.
Regardless of the "squeaking" noise, Gu Haijian reads as if no one else was there when he got the fax. After reading what was in his hand, he waited by the fax machine.
It took about a quarter of an hour before Gu Haijian sorted out the information inside and composed the picture on the computer. After he felt that it was perfected, he found Su Cheng and said, "Dr. Su, I have an idea."
"Um?"
"We analyzed the geological conditions underground and combined with the potential data... I think that in the 3,300 meters of oil flowers, no reservoir was found. The most likely that the oil and gas layer was too thin, or the oil and gas reservoir with a crack was too thin, so the exposed area of the oil and gas layer must be increased. Therefore, the best way is to drill another horizontal well and pass through multiple cracks. This is an analysis report made by colleagues from the institute." Gu Haijian placed the stack of analysis reports in front of Sucheng.
Su Cheng did not read it immediately, but asked: "What do you mean is to give up the prediction of 2800 meters and focus on 3300 meters? Li Hu and his team have already performed two perforations for 3300 meters."
"If it is a narrow crack-type reservoir, the effect of using horizontal wells is better, and it is normal for the success rate of perforation to be low." Gu Haijian was a little excited.
Sucheng looked out the window. The blue sea surface had become calm and the sunlight became warm and not dazzling. It didn't take too long to dusk.
"If I had digged a horizontal well, I would definitely not be able to complete it today." Su Cheng expressed his concerns. He invited so many people to watch it, but it was not a good thing to go back without anything.
"If the location is selected correctly and the crack is not too deep, it will be very fast." Gu Haijian paused and continued: "It is not surprising that oil extraction is not picking apples. It is not surprising that you can't see it on the same day. Although it is cool to see crude oil immediately, I think everyone will understand it."
During the drilling process of No. 503, Su Cheng and others had made mistakes several times. However, as Gu Haijian said, these are nothing.
When you cannot see the real situation underground, you can only rely on various specious drilling theories to guide you. However, the inside of the earth is too complicated. Until now, no oil theory can perfectly cover the entire process and entire areas of oil production drilling.
Therefore, making mistakes is the norm during drilling.
Make mistakes again and again, correct them again and again, and finally get an oil well, or sink into failure.
The oil industry is very similar to other industrial industries. Everyone has the qualifications to make mistakes, but every time they make mistakes, it will increase the implicit pressure. Drill wells with pressure on their backs and avoid making mistakes. What they end up getting is the crazy happiness of seeing crude oil.
Su Cheng was silent for a long time, and then picked up the analysis report from the fax and looked through it carefully. Finally, when the drilling team failed to perform another shot, he nodded and said, "Call Li Hu."
Gu Haijian grabbed the phone excitedly.
Su Cheng slightly backed and whispered to Yang Ming: "Prepare dinner and midnight snacks, I'm going to stay very late today."
"Ah, won't you send everyone to land?"
"If you don't see the oil field, the futures matter cannot be finalized. For such a big business, I believe it is worth keeping them for another night." Su Cheng said that, but he still gave a brief explanation to the senior executives of each company.
Inside transactions are usually very profitable, and there are many cases of hundreds of millions of dollars back and forth. Especially bulk transactions such as crude oil, due to their huge quantity, they often get unexpected gains.
The main purpose of the seven companies being able to gather here is to make this inside transaction.
It is very necessary to see the production of Dahua Oilfield with your own eyes in any aspect.
"Just rest on the boat for one night." Fine's Giles responded first, and the others agreed in turn.
They also talked about business when they returned to Baku, but those businesses were far inferior to the opportunity in front of them.
After the continuous failure of perforation, Li Hu was exhausted and quickly agreed to Gu Haijian's reasonable suggestions.
In fact, the horizontal well was originally the ultimate version of perforation, which was the 90-degree state of the inclined shaft proposed by the deputy captain. However, the positions determined by Gu Haijian and the deputy captain were different.
After more than an hour of dressing up, the drill rig rumbling again.
Outside the window, it was already hazy black.
"Come and have some fish, we have the best local chef." Yang Ming specially warmed up the atmosphere and brought the whole plate of fresh fish to the command cabin.
The sailors and other staff also took turns to have a meal.
"The environment on the boat is simple, and our main method is to roast it. Different fish have different temperatures and seasonings. A small number of fish have been boiled in water and added sauce. You can choose whatever you want." Yan Xuecan started working as a logistics chef, running around the room with a spoon, and after a while, he brought out a whole plate of sashimi.
Fresh sashimi tastes excellent, not only Japanese or ancient Chinese food, but also Japanese culture exports, and there is a market all over the world, especially among people who travel all year round. This kind of food that sounds scary at first glance is quite popular. Of course, there are not few picky people, and a large number of European and Americans are unwilling to eat animal offals.
Apart from food, wine is the best for companionship. Aged pure malt whiskey, vodka from the Soviet era, and red and white wines from the classic vintage quickly made everyone forget the noise in their ears.
Sucheng chose a cup of whiskey for 20 years and sipped it slowly...
After dusk, people who had been working for a day naturally became silent. A few drunk guys muttered and became their own language as they spoke.
Whether it is Spanish, French, or Portuguese, Sucheng couldn't understand anything. Even in English, he could only say that he was proficient in using it. If anyone quoted a paragraph of Othello, it would definitely be a guitar against a cow. However, there are always a few guys with extremely talented talents who can use foreign languages from four or five countries, and they can easily hold a wine glass at this time.
For such a natural world manager, others can only envy him.
There are no simple guys who can do the top leaders of the oil industry. Instead, private conversations can reveal their own surname.
Gu Haijian came to Sucheng with a glass of red wine, facing the brightly lit drilling platform, and whispered: "The chance of oil being seen on a horizontal well is high."
This sentence is not so much about Su Cheng, but rather about him comforting himself.
Today, his two suggestions were not adopted by Su Cheng, but the third suggestion was made in the opposite direction of his first two suggestions. Although they were adopted by Su Cheng, if they failed again, Gu Haijian himself would feel embarrassed.
The subtle emotions were amplified under the influence of alcohol, and Gu Haijian couldn't help but speak out.
Su Cheng laughed twice, turned his wine glass and said, "What I originally wanted to see most was that I saw crude oil before noon. In this way, a good banquet could be held in the afternoon. When I return to Baku in the evening, I will hold a press conference immediately..."
Seeing Gu Haijian's strange gaze, Su Cheng shook his head and said, "Or where did you think you came from the wine and food? Unfortunately, the situation I hoped most did not happen. My second hope was to see crude oil today, and then go back to Baku, hold a press conference and hold a party, but you saw it..."
"Dr. Su."
"I didn't blame you." Su Cheng waved his hand and said with a chuckle: "When should I see crude oil, it is a political issue, a public relations issue, not a technical issue, nor is it a priority for drilling. Oil companies, the most important thing to harvest oil is. Without crude oil, we do not have the qualifications to survive... Don't take other things too seriously."
Only then did Gu Haijian realize that Su Cheng was comforting himself.
He couldn't help but feel strange and thought to himself: Why is the chairman's comfort a little weird?
"It's windy." Su Cheng's hand stretched out the railing, looked at the dark sea, and said, "It seems that it's still raining."
"There are often strong winds here at night. If it exceeds level 5, you have to consider stopping drilling. Fortunately, there will be no storm recently." Gu Haijian said, and stretched out his hand, feeling it in the air, and suddenly said, "What a sticky rain."
As soon as he finished speaking, the drill rig, which had just made a buzzing roar, stopped.
"Is the wind too fast?" This was Gu Haijian's first sentence. His eyes immediately went up the flagpole.
The wind is indeed very strong, but it cannot exceed level 5. Gu Haijian narrowed his eyes and said, "Even level 4 is more difficult. Are you worried about the storm?"
Su Cheng put his fingers to his nose without saying a word, rubbed them, and said in surprise: "It's sweet."
"Sweet oil!" Gu Haijian shouted in surprise.
For oil people, sweet crude oil with low sulfur content is the highest pursuit.
On the deck, more than half of the people raised their heads.
In a blink of an eye, they felt the charm of sweet oil.
Because, crude oil fell like raindrops in the sky, fell on the boat, on clothes, on heads, on faces...
The phone in the command room not far away rang unwillingly.
Su Cheng covered his eyes with his hands and looked towards the direction of the offshore drilling platform.
With the back facing the light source, there seemed to be a twisted fountain doing a low-key performance.
Below the light source, a group of drillers waving their clothes and shouting: "We found it! We found it..."
More and more people shouting, and the sounds became clearer and clearer, accompanied by the wind, blowing over.
The employees of Dahua stayed for a while and then started shouting wildly.
Su Cheng put his fingers under his nose again and gently sniffed the sweet and stinky smell. However, after smelling the same smell for a long time, he would ignore the stinky smell and only remember the sweetness in it.
Gu Haijian also stayed there for a while, then turned around and squeezed out of the crowd, ran into the back cabin, and carefully took a piece of oil drop from the **.
There are ready-made experimental equipment in the back compartment, which is enough for him to analyze the composition of crude oil to determine whether Dahua found an oil well or a new oil field.
