Chapter 621 The first secret oil well(1/2)

"All gates of the well sealer must be tested for pressure." The supervisor ordered firmly.

Lu Xiangfei, the drilling captain of Dahua 505, was full of bitterness: "There are more than 200 gates. After trying this, I can't finish it in a day. In fact, the standards of our blowout preventers are already higher than those of other companies, and the time is so tight now. Otherwise, how about we test the main gates and then randomly inspect 10 more?"

"Our standards are high, and the oil and gas pressure in the Aqijiu oil field is even higher. If there is another blowout, we will not be able to take it. Last time, the entire derrick was flying in the sky? If the explosion-proof level of the drilling platform reached level 2, the drilling platform might have burned. I will let you go here, and the subsequent inspection will not be able to pass." The supervisor is also an employee of Dahua Industrial. Although he and the drilling team are on the drilling team, he and the drilling team belong to two units, which are equivalent to the existence of Party A, who is full-time supervising Party B and requiring the other party to complete the work in accordance with the prescribed steps.

The current Setan Oilfield, or several oilfields opened by Dahua Industrial for the Russians, have a large number of drilling teams from the Petroleum Corporation to serve as Party B for Dahua Industrial, that is, pure construction parties. There were originally many construction teams of Party B for Aqijiu Oilfield, but because of Sucheng's order, they were all changed to Dahua's own team.

However, the construction personnel have changed, but the institutional structure has not changed substantially. Not only that, because Sucheng is closely watching, Dahua employees in the Afghan area are very careful. The rules and regulations of safe production are hanging in the air like golden rules, and a few people who dare to touch it will be demoted, reduced, and deported to the country for retraining.

Lu Xiangfei finally climbed onto the "special contribution list", so he naturally didn't want to kick it down because of violation of discipline. He gritted his teeth and said, "The pressure test standard is high, and there must be valves that cannot stand it. The materials we store now are not enough, so we have to let the supply ship come to deliver things. If there is no in the warehouse, we must buy it now."

"No problem." The supervisor was also very clear about his responsibilities and agreed immediately.

"I can't sleep anymore now." Lu Xiangfei sighed. He went back and issued the order, and he did it first.

The drilling team members were wailing, but after that, they had no effect, they had to follow Lu Xiangfei to start debugging.

The drilling platform 505 uses an annular well sealer. The rubber core is a big weakness and it depends entirely on the techniques. If it is used well, it can reach a good level.

As the captain, Lu Xiangfei is naturally the best skilled. He personally went on the battle and inspected and debugged all 200 gates in sequence. It was originally expected that the drilling would be opened in the afternoon, but it was naturally not possible. In fact, when it was time to have supper, he had only completed the second round of inspections.

"Can you try it?" The supervisor was also anxious. It was his primary job to ask the entire drilling platform to do things according to the rules. But time is also very important. Every Chinese knows that the company has invested a lot in Azerbaijan. People eat horses and chew it very much. If it is not for safety regulations, he hopes to start drilling as soon as possible.

Lu Xiangfei looked at it again, wiped his sweat, straightened his waist and said, "Just give it a try, prepare first."

Without saying it alone, the clogger, clean water, and sealing rubber ring were instantly in place, and the high-pressure area was also surrounded by warning. The drill and the deputy drill were holding the mud pump and the hose, looking like they were waiting for the ball.

Lu Xiangfei and the drill driver installed a cleaning head on the weighted drill rod. After cleaning the wellhead, he went down to the well and connected the blocker with butter on the upper end...

Everything was about to stop, Lu Xiangfei shouted directly in a hoarse voice: "Close the valve, and get 10 pressures first."

10 pressures are 10 atmospheric pressures, which are about 1 megapas, which is considered a relatively small wellhead pressure.

The well sealer performed well under this value, which also proved that there was no problem with the installation. Lu Xiangfei nodded and said again: "The mud pump hits 30 pressures."

The driller did as he did, and the engineer shouted with a pocket watch: "3 MPa voltage stabilization record for 10 minutes, and the timing starts."

Lu Xiangfei sat on the raised edge with his butt, his expression relaxed.

The well sealers they use now are produced by Dahua Industrial, which is not as good as those imported from Setan Oilfield, but are much better than domestic products. This is also determined by the different working environment. Several domestic companies rarely go abroad to do projects, and their own oil well pressure in China is low, so similar well sealers can be used. However, Sucheng is determined to occupy several large oil fields, and has high requirements for various self-produced oil well equipment.

Historically, China Petroleum Corporation began to encounter problems in the exploitation of Sudan crude oil, such as well as well as well as well as well as well as imported goods before this.

3 MPa is extremely easy for any kind of well sealer.

After 10 minutes of pressure stabilization, the drill driver asked Lu Xiangfei for instructions, and slowly increased the pressure of the mud pump to 20 megapas with the deputy drill driver.

Lu Xiangfei stood up just now.

The supervisor also stretched his neck and pinched the watch to watch the time.

Just after three minutes of the hour hand, mud began to gush under the gate.

"Can you do it?" the supervisor turned around and asked Lu Xiangfei. This level was not too bad, and it was still on the verge of being useful.

Lu Xiangfei scratched his head: "Look at it again."

After the 10-minute voltage stabilization test, the gate did not explode, but the glue core was closed but could not go back.

Lu Xiangfei said as expected: "The mat is no longer possible. This well sealer needs to reach 200 pressures, and it must be replaced with new ones to have hope."

"I'll go urge the supply ship." The supervisor went to call without saying a word.

At 12 a.m., Dahua's own night ship drove the supplies needed. At this time, even if they did not pursue confidentiality, the Azerbaijanis in Baku would not sail.

The supervisor took the initiative to inspect the materials on behalf of Party A. Lu Xiangfei had unloaded all 48 large screws of one inch and three inches. Not only the drilling team, but also workers and engineers from other departments rushed over to help, adjust the derrick, or help change the mat and apply oil.

Try again, the ring sealer persisted for 5 minutes under 200 pressure, and the rubber core broke again.

"Switch again." Lu Xiangfei looked like an old scalper. Only by allowing the well sealer to reach the best working state can he withstand 200 atmospheres.

The 48 large screws were removed again, and all the pads were re-replaced. Re-buttered, and then reinstalled the gate.

Several workers were lying on the ground and busy for more than an hour before adjusting the huge screws. Lu Xiangfei checked one after another to achieve the maximum effect. The screws were too tight or too loose. In the most exquisite fine processing workshop, there were regulations on how many rounds of screws were on. Some factories took one or two years to meet the design requirements to achieve the yield rate. It was just trying these detailed things.

Offshore drilling platforms did not require special precision. However, if the equipment is to reach the best state, it must require special precision.

At night, the sea surface is cold and windy. Even if you wear four or five clothes, you can't help but stomp your feet. It is definitely a hard job to load and unload huge screws on the cold steel surface, not to mention that the steel surface is now covered with mud that surges up.

It's hard, tired and dirty, and it's basically unacceptable to declare this job.

The supervisor looked at Lu Xiangfei, who was nearly 40 years old, and took off his gloves and touched the screws to twist them. He felt really sorry, so he simply took off his military coat and put it under Lu Xiangfei's legs and said, "If it doesn't work, I'll do it tomorrow. Otherwise, we will purchase a batch of imported well sealers."

"The wellhead must be adjusted, it's not much better. As long as the well can produce oil, I'm happy to do it for another two nights." Lu Xiangfei asked someone to bring another military coat to replace it for the supervisor, and continued to keep his head shut.

In just a few minutes, the supervisor turned his lips so cold that he turned blue. He put on his clothes in a embarrassed manner and said tremblingly: "Dr. Su said that the oil field under our feet is one of the best oil fields in the world. What we want is the oil well with the largest output. Next time, the one that comes out of the well sealer will definitely be crude oil."

"200 pressures, if crude oil can still jump out..." Lu Xiangfei suddenly laughed twice, and then changed his tone and said, "I will admit it."

"I admit it too! The most hopeful opportunity for me to see a 10,000 tons of oil well in my life is now." The supervisor wrapped his coat and suddenly sighed.

In general, 10,000-ton wells, no 200-ton wells can be hit by 200-ton wells, so the high pressure that the 200-ton well sealer cannot be stuck is definitely a high-yield oil well.

Although Dahua occupied good oil fields, there are only a few high-yield oil wells in the world. If a company meets two, it will be celebrated. If it is broken down into the drilling team, it is really hard to say whose luck is it.

The words of supervision made everyone feel something and their actions became faster.

The third test still failed.

The fourth test still failed.

Each time, all parts must be removed and the gaskets and lubricants are reinstalled.

Repeated and boring work makes people dizzy and almost vomit.

Lu Xiangfei frowned and persevered.

The rest of the drilling team gradually lost the mood of complaining and continued to work with the captain.

The work on the platform is originally dirty, tiring and hard, and people who cannot withstand this pressure will definitely not be able to stay there.

It took a total of 30 hours before the pressure test was successful.

At this moment, the people on the entire drilling platform have wooden faces. On the one hand, the cold wind blows, and on the other hand, they stay up late.

Lu Xiangfei signed the documents given by the supervisor and went back to sleep. People from other departments tried their best to help clean up. The rest of the work was still in the drilling team, and it would be impossible for them to not sleep well.

The next day, a fragrance woke Lu Xiangfei up.

"What?" He looked down from the upper bunk. The place on the drilling platform was basically a dormitory like a school.

The engineer Huang Donglei was sitting on the lower bunk. This guy with an amazing belly was digging the lunch in the dish while muttering: "Dr. Su is here, you can pick up the rice with your hands, half of the meat and half of the rice."

"Dr. Su is here?" Lu Xiangfei repeated.

Huang Donglei was completely unable to make up the point, and said with a "hmm" sound, "You haven't eaten breakfast or lunch, right? Go quickly, you will have soup in the cafeteria. If you are late, the group of wolves will drink all the food."

"Why don't you eat in the cafeteria?"

"There are several senior executives at the headquarters. I ate two servings and felt a little embarrassed. I said I would make a basin for the drilling captain in the dormitory. When Director Su heard this, he asked you about it. Look, when the chef heard that he was cooking for you, the meat was more than others. Oh, if you go to the cafeteria, if you are asked, I will knock the basin over the way." Huang Donglei said and ate, both projects were extremely fast.

Lu Xiangfei jumped out of bed, blocked Huang Donglei's waving chopsticks hand, and said, "Do you think Mr. Su asked me?"

"Yes, I said that when you wake up, I will ask you to see him, otherwise, do you think the chef is willing to make food and let me bring it back? And so much meat? Look, it's all small rib meat, and it's probably hidden by that guy."

"Dr. Su asked me to wake up and go to see him?" Lu Xiangfei was stunned for a moment and said angrily: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"Didn't I say it?"

"I'll go now." Lu Xiangfei put his pants on, picked up his clothes, and ran out.

Behind him, Huang Donglei said slowly: "Do you know where Director Su is?"

Lu Xiangfei, who had already run out of the extreme speed, suddenly braked and came back to glaring at Huang Donglei and said, "No longer in the cafeteria? Do you know where?"

"Oh. You know." Huang Donglei blinked and lowered his head to scatter the rice.

"What do I know?"

"I'm in the cafeteria, I thought you didn't know." Huang Donglei looked like a fool.

Lu Xiangfei was furious and snatched his chopsticks in anger. He ran up in two steps and threw them directly into the sea.

Huang Donglei stood up calmly, opened the drawer, took out a pair of new chopsticks, and said silently: "Fortunately, it's bamboo chopsticks, otherwise it will cause pollution."

Lu Xiangfei ran to the cafeteria as fast as possible and indeed saw Su Cheng and his party. The most conspicuous one was Qin Shiwei, who was thicker than the iron pillar.

"Director Qin of the Drilling and Oil Production Research Institute? What did he do?" Lu Xiangfei saw him. He was confused at first, and then ecstasy suddenly surged.

Qin Shiwei is famous for treating time as life. He never does socializing or accompanying things like this.

The strong body, superb technical level and Su Cheng's attention made Qin Shiwei as special as the activity waves in the eyes of grassroots workers - having him is usually a certain activity.

And in today's drilling platforms, the only activity is oil production.

"Do you have a new plan?" Lu Xiangfei was not sleeping very clearly. He came to Sucheng and said something in a strange way.

Su Cheng smiled and shook hands with him and said, "Captain Lu, I heard that you have worked for two days and one night in a row, are you tired?"

"I'm not tired, what's the tiring thing? This is the job we do." Lu Xiangfei was a little proud. This was the boss asking us about our well-being.

Qin Shiwei was not going to give them time to greet and knocked on the table and said, "We have been checking earthquake data recently. The edge exploration well No. 507 is in good condition. Based on the latest feedback, I have made a new stratigraphic map. Please refer to it when you dig the well."

The stratigraphic map of the mid-1990s was quite simple, but the basic functions were still complete, and Lu Xiangfei could understand it. He tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "So, are we connected to 503 below?"
