Spring Breeze 1991

The sunrise time of the entire UAE summer is around 6:[-] local time, which is similar to that of Hunan, Jiangxi and other places in my country, and they are all at the same latitude.

When the first ray of sunshine appeared at the junction of sea and sky in a new day, the rescue work of Dongfang No. [-] drilling platform came to an end.

Yao Yuan sat on a pile of quick-setting cement and watched the sunrise in the distance, and said to Lin Shuting beside him, "Honey, I remember I said before that I want to watch the sunrise with you all over the world, and today I have completed one of them. Look, the sunrise over the Shidan Sea in the Middle East is really beautiful."

Lin Shuting flew over by helicopter more than an hour ago. After learning that a serious blowout accident had occurred on the Dongfang No. [-] drilling platform, she rushed over regardless of everyone's opposition, and did not leave Yao Yuan even half a step.

"It's a beautiful sunrise." Lin Shuting was very distressed, and cleaned the wound on Yao Yuan's body with disinfectant.

Liu Jiahui put a bandage on Yao Yuan's left arm, and there was a gash more than ten centimeters long. Fortunately, it was not deep, but the skin was damaged, otherwise it would have required stitches.

"Does it still hurt?" Lin Shuting asked.

Yao Yuan smiled wryly and said, "It doesn't hurt during emergency rescue, but it hurts when you deal with it like this."

Liu Jiahui said, "Mr. Yao, it's because of the effect of adrenaline. Now that the adrenaline goes down, I feel pain."

"Don't take such a risk next time." Lin Shuting said.

In fact, if she had been there at that time, she would have thrown herself into emergency rescue regardless. She could understand Yao Yuan, but as a fiancée, she hoped that Yao Yuan would stay away from these dangers.

Yao Yuan pointed to the tall torch, the flames were quite fierce, and said, "Look, this is the reward for your hard work. Alright, you guys go to the lounge first after the dressing is done, and I'll finish the rest."

"I'm right here." Lin Shuting shook her head and said.

"That's fine." Yao Yuan could only agree.

After Yao Yuan finished bandaging, he immediately went to check the condition of the workers. He took almost all of them with him. The most serious one was Gu Peiqiang, whose eye corner was torn, his cheek was injured, and half of his head was bandaged.

The Dongfang No. [-] offshore drilling platform is a third-generation technology with a helicopter take-off and landing platform.

By this time the helicopter had arrived.

Previously, rescue helicopters had no way of landing on the platform until the workers on the platform brought the blowout under control.

Yao Yuan held Gu Peiqiang's hand and said, "Old Gu, take good care of your wounds, and I'll see you later."

There is no need to say extra words, Gu Peiqiang is a great contributor.

Gu Peiqiang nodded with difficulty, was lifted up by the medical staff and sent to the helicopter, and went directly to the large hospital in the urban area of ​​Abu Habi for treatment.

Yao Yuan asked all the injured workers to leave their posts and return to the urban area for treatment, but only a few serious ones were willing, and the others insisted on staying on the line of fire.The blowout is under control, but there is still a lot of work to do in the follow-up.

Representatives of Occidental Petroleum Company were also unwilling to get off the platform. They were more or less injured, but after simple treatment, they all insisted on staying.

They saw with their own eyes the scene where Yao Yuan and Dongfang Petroleum's executives rushed to the scene at the first time when the disaster struck, and saw Dongfang Petroleum's workers fight the blowout with their bodies, and none of them flinched.

They were deeply shocked.

According to Occidental Petroleum's rules, anyone who encounters such a blowout has the right to choose to evacuate the platform immediately.

But no one on the Dongfang No. [-] drilling platform left their posts.

Moreover, they successfully contained the blowout, saved the platform, and kept the well.

When Yao Yuan took Lin Shuting back to the bridge control center, he saw the representatives of Occidental Petroleum Company with bruised noses and swollen faces or limping around, all of them were waiting.

Ruiz got a bump on his forehead and he didn't leave.

Yao Yuan asked Lin Shuting to sit aside and bowed his hands to them, "It surprised everyone."

He shook hands with Jackson. "Thank you."

Among these people, only Jackson participated in the emergency rescue. Just because of this, Yao Yuan looked at Jackson with admiration.Because at that time, Jackson was not the regional president of Halliburton, but a friend of Dongfang Petroleum.

However, they could have evacuated the platform immediately, but the representatives of these Western oil companies did not, which shows that they had a conscience in their hearts at that time.

The number of lifeboats on the platform is fixed, and the number of lifeboats equipped on the platform can carry as many people as the number of people equipped on the platform. The representatives of Western Petroleum Company who came to visit are extra personnel. If they occupy the lifeboats of the platform staff, then there must be Some workers were unable to evacuate.

Under the circumstances at that time, if they did this, Yao Yuan would have nothing to do. At that time, he no longer had the energy to take care of these things.

As outsiders, these Western oil companies have kept their basic conscience as human beings.

This is also the bottom line for the offshore oil industry.

After the danger was lifted, the representatives of these major oil companies still did not leave. It was entirely because of the surging black liquid, nearly two meters in diameter, that sprayed more than 50 meters into the air, and had been spraying for several hours.

Now, the workers of Dongfang Petroleum are controlling these black dragons and transporting them to the oil storage ship through pipelines.The oil storage ship had been prepared a long time ago, and it was moored at the pier, only a few kilometers away, as an emergency measure.

The representatives of these western oil companies are eager to know how much the output of No. [-] well is. Looking at this situation, the output is absolutely scary.

Ruiz said, "Mr. Yao, I think the data from Well No. [-] should come out, right?"

Jackson also smiled and said, "Mr. Yao, Well No. [-] may be more productive. Can you do production logging? We can't wait to know the production."

If one survives, there will be future fortunes.

Yao Yuan nodded towards Qin Zhenjun.

After such a fright, Comrade Lao Qin became more calm. Holding a telegram in his hand, he said, "The initial blowout output of No. 2300 well is [-] tons."

Ruiz froze for a moment and asked, "You mean 2300 metric tons?"

"Yes." Qin Zhenjun smiled slightly and nodded.

Everyone's faces gradually became serious, that is to say, the initial annual output is more than 80 tons, and three 30-ton tankers are needed to transport it away, which is about 630 million barrels.

The current international oil price is 18.56 US dollars per barrel.

In other words, the annual production value of No. 1.16 well is about [-] million US dollars.

This is still the initial output!

Just a well!

Frank calculated in a low voice, "The cost of drilling oil wells on land in the Middle East is no more than two dollars, and it is only a few kilometers away from the coast. They will definitely not use oil storage ships for transshipment, but directly set up oil pipelines to transport oil ashore. First, the cost of mining will not exceed five dollars, or even lower. Calculated according to the [-]-[-] contract between Dongfang Petroleum and the UAE..."

The oil in the Middle East is famous for its low cost of extraction and high quality of crude oil. Some people joked that once a Saudi man picked up a shovel to dig the ground, and as a result, black liquid came out of the ground, so oil was discovered.

This statement is exaggerated, but it fully reflects the low cost of extracting oil in Saudi Arabia.

The UAE is no exception.

Huaxia's own oil reservoirs are also rich, such as Daqing Oilfield, Shengli Oilfield, and Karamay Oilfield, but they generally contain high sulfur content and are of medium-low quality oil, while the oil produced in the Middle East is generally high-quality.

"Well No. 4000 alone can bring Dongfang Petroleum a book profit of [-] to [-] million U.S. dollars every year..." Hans quickly calculated.

But they fell silent, unable to think much.

This is a very rare offshore ultra-high production oil well.

Since the discovery of oil by humans, the most productive oil well so far is the Azer No. 4 well in Mexico, with a daily output of 3.7 tons.

One well supports the economy of a country, which is the oil well with a daily output of [-] tons.

In the era when the oil price exceeded 2 US dollars per barrel, an oil well with a daily output of 24 tons could eject [-] million US dollars a month, or [-] billion US dollars a year, which is enough for a country like Mexico to lie down and eat.

However, wells with a daily output of [-] tons are very few.

No. [-] oil company like Shell has few mouthfuls.

On the premise of confirming that the Shidan Oilfield has extremely rich recoverable reserves, Dongfang Petroleum has an oil well with a daily output of more than 2000 tons. After the technical increase in production, it is not difficult to approach [-] tons. It is a self-flowing well.

In other words, only relying on Dongfang No. [-] well, Dongfang Petroleum is already invincible, and any funding problems will no longer exist.Even if it hasn't been produced yet, the major banks will break through the threshold and take the initiative to send money.

Frank knew that Shell had basically lost the opportunity to enter the Shidan Oilfield, and Hans had the same idea. Perhaps, he could only find a way to cooperate with Dongfang Petroleum in refining.

In view of the fact that Shell has already established an oil refinery in Guangdong Province, Frank decided to retreat.

Ruiz was the most excited. From a domestic political point of view, Crown Prince Khalifa’s decision to hand over the Shikotan Oilfield to Dongfang Petroleum was not only the right move, but also very beautiful. From the perspective of economic interests Looking at it, the UAE can earn billions of dollars every year in the future, and Crown Prince Khalifa can be called a big winner.

But don't forget, the situation of the black dragon under his feet has not been clarified.

Ruiz watched the jetted crude oil column gradually shrink, and the pointer representing the oil delivery volume to the oil storage ship was rising rapidly. He swallowed and asked Qin Zhenjun, "Boss Qin, what about the output of Dongfang No. [-] well?"

Very good attitude.

Qin Zhenjun pointed to the instrument with a smile, and said, "Currently, we can only make a rough calculation based on the crude oil received by the oil storage ship. Production logging can only be done after the blowout is fully controlled."

Ruiz couldn't wait any longer, and he didn't even want to waste time making rough calculations. He asked anxiously, "Now, right now, how many are there?"

Yao Yuan took Qin Zhenjun's words and said with a smile, "Mr. Minister, based on the receiving volume and time of the oil storage ship, it should be about [-] tons."

He pointed to the oil storage ship, then pointed to the instrument, and said, "That is an oil storage ship that can receive 400 tons of crude oil. It has received more than [-] tons of crude oil in about two hours."

Frank's eyeballs were about to pop out. He saw that there was still a lot of crude oil sprayed on the operation deck, and saw those Chinese oil workers covered in black and sloppy shouting happily for the final drainage work. It's getting serious.

"So, then, there should be no problem with the daily output of [-] tons?" Ruiz asked Yao Yuan cautiously.

Yao Yuan nodded slightly, "It's not a big problem."

The fact is there, if it is completely drained, the output from the self-spray alone must exceed 5000 tons, and this is only from the self-spray!

Nissan is a sure thing.

Jackson smiled proudly, "I am honored to witness the birth of an oil well with a daily output of [-] tons. This visit is of great significance. Mr. Yao, thank you for giving me this opportunity."

At this time, the injuries he suffered because of participating in the emergency rescue became medals.

Ruiz gasped and rubbed his hands excitedly, "I have to report the good news to His Majesty the Crown Prince, a self-flowing well with a daily output of [-] tons!"

"Mr. Minister, don't worry."

Yao Yuan suddenly stopped him.
