The ocean in the distance was covered with dark clouds, and it seemed that a storm was about to hit. Anderson tightened his clothes.

It is April, and the oceans near the equator are not very cold, but when I think of the upcoming storm, Anderson still couldn't help but tighten his clothes.

Made has been floating around this sea for several months, but he and his exploration team still haven't produced a drop of oil. If this continues, the bosses above may not be able to bear it. If they choose to cancel the later exploration activities, he and his friends will be unemployed and go home.

As an oil exploration team member, I have been unable to find an oil well for a long time, and if I say it, I will be criticized by many people.

Moreover, once you are called such a name, you will easily be associated with the title of the bad god. People who dig wells are actually superstitious in any country.

Once someone knows that I have been searching for several years and haven't even found a drop of oil, I guess I can only go to the Middle East to find a job in the future.

As a native Australian, Anderson has a serious family love story. Although the salary paid to oil explorers like him is very high abroad, especially in the Middle East, he does not particularly like to work in places like the Middle East.

Because in that place, in his mind, there was only the impression of backwardness and barbarity, not to mention that his wife had just given birth to him a second child?

As an exploration team member of Dirham, he took his exploration team on a boat and was in the 35th area off the sea of ​​Perth. But he had been floating for a long time.

The 35th and 36th areas were not in full swing last year, and the loan was exchanged after mortgaged the oil pipelines that were not long in China, dozens of gas stations in Melbourne and Sydney, and then the exploration sector won in the auction again.

In other words, before the company found any drop of oil here, it had already spent more than 100 million Australian dollars in these two areas. I heard that the company could no longer hold on.

However, it seemed that a venture capital company had invested in the company and allowed the company to survive this difficulty.

And this money is the cost they used to explore, rent boats, offshore drilling platforms, and their labor. If they continue to find oil wells, they will probably be able to get out soon.

But this is not scientific. He had talked with James, a geologist in the company. James is a top student in geological exploration at Wollongong University. He had worked in BP before, and he had been to Azerbaijan. Many of the dried-up old oil fields in Baku oil fields were reselected by him. He was revitalized.

Although he didn't know how true or false the guy said, he agreed with that person, after all, he and James had worked together on the same boat for a long time.

James told him that according to his analysis of scanning Heidi's signal through sonar, the areas with the most likely reservoirs in the Perth coastal area are the two sectors No. 35 and No. 36.

But now they have been floating on the sea for more than half a year, but they have not produced a drop of oil. This is very unscientific!

James is now on their exploration boat, hiding in the office all day long, holding the sonar scanned drawings, doing research, and I don’t know what I can find.

Forget it, I didn't think about it anymore. Anderson tightened his collar and looked up at the distance. It was estimated that the cumulonimbus cloud would float over in more than two hours.

While the sky has not yet become completely dark, while the storm has not really floated down, I will fight once to see if there are any results.

Anderson picked up the phone and called Peter, his deputy on the drilling platform in the distance: "Before deepening a thousand meters, before the storm comes, if there is not, prepare the people on the platform, and we are going to evacuate here."

"Okay, no problem."

Peter is a good deputy, and he will always carry out his instructions most resolutely. They have wasted more than two weeks in this sea area and have made dozens of holes, but there are not a drop of oil. If they change to others, they will probably have to change places.

Even his drilling staff were a little dissatisfied, but Peter was still the one who could support him so firmly.

Soon a rumble came from the drilling platform far away, and Peter and his engine machines began to continue downwards.

Anderson sat in the cockpit of a tugboat not far from the platform, looking at the drilling platform in the distance, then turned his head to look at the other side holding a black cloud.

.............

After a while, the howling wind began to be heard outside. Anderson noticed that the storm clouds that had always thought were still far away, and at this time they had arrived around them.

The 50,000-ton large tug is a giant on the sea, but now on this vast ocean, in the eyes of the storm, it is like a toy that can be ravaged by the storm. Somewhere on the hull, there has even been a creaking and creaking sound of steel being squeezed and twisted.

The boat was shaking very hard, Anderson got up and came to the porthole, took the telescope and looked at the drilling platform in the distance.

The drilling # platform is semi-submersible, the most mainstream third-generation offshore drilling platform now. It has a strong ability to resist storms, so although they are shaking hard here, it has little impact on them.

Although he didn't call, he also saw that the speed of the shaft there had begun to drop. It seemed that it was slowing down and preparing to shut down. After all, in such a harsh natural environment, who can still drill #well for you with peace of mind? What if something happens?

Anderson didn't think it was too much for their choice.

But at this moment, although he was far away, he could feel the spindle that was slowly slowing down. He suddenly stopped and then left far away. He seemed to be able to feel a muffled sound coming from the ocean under his feet, and then their 50,000-ton tugboats were all excited.

Could it be the tsunami? Anderson's face changed, but he quickly denied his judgment, just as he was still thinking about what was going on.

The captain who started to tug the boat suddenly pointed to the drilling platform in the distance and shouted: "Anderson, look... we succeed..."

Anderson could feel Captain John's voice deformed a little excitedly. He quickly raised his head and looked towards the drilling platform.

In the storm, the drilling shaft on the drilling platform seemed to be suddenly pushed out from the ground by something, and flew out suddenly. Then a black dragon drilled out directly from under the sea and sprayed into the air...

Even people who don’t understand oil exploration will know that they are now getting oil and they are about to develop.

Anderson could no longer contain the joy in his heart, so he took out his phone and called Peter on the other side of the drilling platform. Soon, Peter's excited trembling voice came from the other side of the phone.

"Anderson, we are developed. This is a high-yield oil well. Judging from the current injection pressure, this well produces tens of tons per day, which is definitely not a problem..."

"I know, I know, Peter, but now you have to listen to me first, hurry up and have someone seal the oil well. The storm is coming, you must be careful of lightning..."

After chatting with Peter for a few more words, Anderson could no longer hold back, regardless of the strong wind outside at this time, nor did he care about the heavy rain outside.

"John, arrange a barge for me, and I want to go over. I am not very relieved that Peter and his twenty people were there."

"No, Anderson, are you crazy? It's a storm outside now. You're getting on the boat and wanting to go there. You're looking for death, do you know?"

Captain John rejected Anderson's request at once. As an experienced captain, he could not understand what was going on outside. If he asked Anderson to go out and go to that platform at this time, he would be murdering.

With such a big storm outside, I sent a small boat to it, and Anderson and the others could die in a minute.

"No, John, listen to me, I know, it's dangerous to do this, but I have to go over. You also know that there are only 20 Peter and others on the platform, but this well is very bad at the time. It's windy and rainy outside, but this is not the most terrible thing. The most terrible thing is the lightning. If those lightning strikes the oil well, do you know what will happen? The drilling platform will be blown away, and all our efforts for several months will be silenced. When we return to the mainland, we will be unemployed soon and maybe we will go to prison. More importantly, our desire to find a high-yield oil well for the Australian continent will turn into a bubble, so John, you have to send someone to go over with me..."

Anderson said something a little righteous and sincere. John hesitated a little. He also knew that Anderson was not telling lies. If those lightning really hit the drilling platform, then their months of hard work will not only be in vain, but they will not even have good results.

The company will not let them go, and the families of so many people who died will not let them go. At that time, they just needed some people to come out to take responsibility. As for why such a thing happened, they didn't care at all.

But it is very dangerous to send someone over at this time!

"I'll go with you."
