Spring Breeze 1991

Yao Yuan believes that there is a reason why the G-spot of the Kashagan Field is not in the nearshore area of ​​the Caspian Sea.

Regarding the Kashagan Field, Yao Yuan's future memory is very limited, but he is clear about one basic information, because he reads the news every day, and the reason why the news impressed him deeply is because it mentioned the Huaxia Petroleum Company's investment in it. Kashagan Field spent hundreds of billions of Huaxia coins, which is a rare cooperation project for the three major oil companies.

That's an impressively large investment.

The key lies in the "cooperative project of the three major oil companies".

Therefore, Yao Yuan judged that the focus of the Kashagan Field is in the shallow part of the Caspian Sea, rather than the nearshore or inland areas.

This is based on the analysis of the respective business scopes of the three major oil companies.

However, this life is not the past, Yao Yuan can only guess whether there is any change.The Dongfang No. 10 well in the Shidan Oilfield also did not appear in the history of the previous life, but it did appear in this life, and it is the only super high-yield self-flowing well in the world with a daily output of more than [-] tons...

Therefore, Gu Peiqiang is full of confidence in drilling high-yield wells in the nearshore area, and Yao Yuan also hopes that he can achieve it, because in this way, the mining cost will be greatly reduced, but the conclusion based on the limited analysis of future memory fragments does not support this. , Yao Yuan felt that the efforts in the nearshore area would be in vain after all.

Yao Yuan is in such a mood of worrying about gains and losses.

Before dark, a Mi-8 helicopter arrived, and Qin Zhenjun arrived, along with Dongfang Petroleum's oil exploration technical team, including geological expert Li Guangwu and the young visualized underwater exploration technical team.

The technical force of the 7th Drilling Corps vanguard has been greatly enhanced.

Seeing Yao Yuan's situation, Qin Zhenjun and others were taken aback. They didn't expect the big boss to look like this after two months of absence. This also made them aware of the harsh climate and environment in the coastal area of ​​Kashagan Caspian Sea.

The 725-meter well logging failed, and the daily output of a few tons is no different from that of an abandoned well.

Gu Peiqiang was hit hard, but he did not give up and continued to drill down according to the plan.

Yao Yuan was finally able to hand over the host job to Qin Zhenjun, and then had a good night's sleep.This sleep lasted for more than ten hours, and when he woke up, he felt refreshed and refreshed, and he was obviously healed.

Chen Chao brought porridge and a few side dishes, which suited Yao Yuan's appetite.

He ate three big bowls in one go, only to find that the temporary camp was very quiet, and asked, "Where are the others? Are you old enough to go back?"

"Early in the morning, there was a situation at the drilling side. The elders and they all went to the site. Captain Gu drilled to a depth of 1400 meters, did a well logging, and the daily production exceeded [-] tons. Captain Gu thinks that he must have found the largest oil reservoir. "Chen Chaohui reported.

It was past eight o'clock in the morning. No need to ask, the drilling team must have stayed up all night. With Gu Peiqiang's personality, he probably only got up for three or four hours before getting up and staring at the site again.

"How's the pipeline pressure?" Yao Yuan asked.

Pipeline pressure is an important data for judging the pressure of reservoirs. Spontaneous wells are a minority after all, and most of them are ordinary oil wells that require external intervention to complete production.

Chen Chao said, "Pipeline pressure data did not support Captain Gu's judgment, so Mr. Qin went to the scene early in the morning, and Mr. Lao and Mr. Zhan followed suit."

If the main reservoir is hit, the pipeline pressure must be considerable, but when the pipeline pressure is not supported, the daily output exceeds [-] tons, which is very strange.

It may be just a small oil reservoir, and it will be useless after a few months or even a few months of production, and a set of extraction equipment will be wasted.

As it involves a cost worth tens of millions, this is obviously not something that can be decided by patting the head. It's no wonder Qin Zhenjun doesn't pay attention to it.

After drinking the remaining porridge in one gulp, Yao Yuan wiped his mouth, walked over to wash his face with a wet towel, and said, "Go to the scene."

Super Chen hurriedly went out to drive, but Yao Yuan opened the driver's car door and jumped in. Super Chen could only quickly sit on the passenger seat.The two guards were originally going to sit in the back row, but Yao Yuan kicked the accelerator and left. The BMW off-road vehicle roared out of the temporary camp, and they quickly drove a second car to keep up.

Well No. [-] is the furthest from the temporary camp, and Well No. [-] is the closest. This is because they camped nearby when Well No. [-] was drilled, and the seven exploration wells were drilled in the direction of the Caspian Sea in sequence.

Indicates Yao Yuan's exploration direction - marching to the north of the Caspian Sea.

The Baku Shallow Sea Oilfield belongs to the southwest of the Caspian Sea, where there is a large amount of exploration data from the Soviet era to support it, so there is no difficulty in exploration.

But the northern part of the Caspian Sea is not the case. Although it belongs to the Caspian Sea, the climate and environment here are so weird that the Soviets did not conduct detailed exploration here.

It took too much time, and Yao Yuan once again felt a sense of crisis.

There has been no new news from the Kazakh government, indicating that they are waiting for the exploration results here. In short, if a large oil field is found, the railway plan can be discussed, otherwise, the Kazakh parliament will not approve it. the plan.

Yao Yuan's illness was not only caused by the weather, but also because of the fear of his premature death. This is also what Chen Chao and others are puzzled about.

For Chunfeng Group, the most difficult time was when the conservatives launched an attack. The big bosses were all ready to withdraw from the mainland market. At that time, the big bosses were not in such a hurry to get angry.

At the end of the day, many people fail to see the strategic significance of this rail line.

It took me more than half an hour to see the derrick of Well No. [-]. Looking ahead, I could see the surface of the Caspian Sea. In fact, Well No. [-] is only a few kilometers away from the Caspian Sea. It is the last onshore exploration well in the Kashagan Field. up.

The drilling rig stopped, the workers were resting, Qin Zhenjun and several other experts had a heated discussion around the folding table.

Seeing Yao Yuan coming, everyone stopped to discuss, and Qin Zhenjun reported the specific situation.

After listening to the report, Yao Yuan frowned and said, "Uncle Qin, do you suspect that this is a fake high-yield well?"

"I think so." Qin Zhenjun nodded affirmatively.

Gu Peiqiang disagreed, saying, "The unsatisfactory pipeline pressure is temporary. I think it hit the main oil reservoir. Even if it hits a small oil layer, it is a small oil layer in the main oil layer. Our The direction is right."

He's not a technical expert, but he's an experienced drill crew leader whose opinion is just as important.

Experience is a double-edged sword. Sometimes it is a magic weapon that can solve problems that cannot be solved by technology, and sometimes it may lead the entire work in the opposite direction.

Nian Haihong and Zhan Chenggui came here with a learning attitude, and they didn't express their opinions.

Qin Zhenjun and Gu Peiqiang are the heroes who discovered Dongfang No. [-] well in the Shidan Oilfield. This is a golden combination. Nian Haihong and Zhan Chenggui, who became monks halfway, don't think their opinions can compare with these two.

Yao Yuan didn't ask for their opinions, which was obvious.

False high-yield wells are not a technical term, and there is not even a standardized standard.

Simply put, it has the characteristics of a high-yield well, but there is not enough or strong operating data to support it.

Some fake high-yield wells ran out of oil and turned into abandoned wells after a few months of production, wasting tens of millions of investment in vain, but some fake high-yield wells can continue to produce for a year or so, which is very embarrassing Yes, if you invest, you are worried that it will suddenly become an abandoned well. If you don’t invest, you will not be able to increase production...

Yao Yuan asked, "Captain Gu, what's your plan?"

Gu Peiqiang believed that the big boss would support his point of view, and said confidently, "Continue to drill down, do logging every 30 meters, and it will definitely be measured."

A little extra money for exploration is nothing.

Yao Yuan nodded slightly. He didn't know whether he agreed with Gu Peiqiang's point of view or said that he already understood Gu Peiqiang's meaning. He asked Qin Zhenjun, "Uncle Qin, what do you think?"

Qin Zhenjun pointed to Li Guangwu and said, "Please tell me about it."

Li Guangwu is a typical nerd. He doesn't care who the theory is against, he only cares about the theory itself.

He spread out a stack of geological data and said, "The geological conditions in the Kashagan area are the same as the climate here, which is very strange. Based on the data in hand, I conclude that the land under our feet is similar to A terrace-like structure."

"The maximum water depth of the Caspian Sea is about 400 meters. Well No. 400 has been drilled to 400 meters. According to the geological structure, oil should not appear at this depth. Theoretically, it is only possible for the drilling depth to exceed [-] meters." oil."

After a pause, Li Guangwu said, "According to the theory of geological sedimentation, combined with the history that the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea were separated due to geological movement after being one, and according to the conditions of oil formation, I think the main oil layer should be on the bottom of the Caspian Sea, not on land. "

It turned out to be Li Guangwu's judgment, and Qin Zhenjun agreed with Li Guangwu's conclusion.

And so the controversy arose.

Li Guangwu is engaged in geology, and oil exploration itself is a part of geological research, and his conclusions also have a very solid basis.

Yao Yuan asked, "I didn't see the offshore 5 when I came here just now, did something go wrong?"

Qin Zhenjun said, "It only set sail from Baku Port in the morning, and it took 45 hours to get here."

The sea voyage from Baku Port to here is nearly 5 kilometers, and it will take almost two days for the Offshore No. [-] drilling platform towed by a tugboat to complete this journey.

Yao Yuan nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "Children make choices. Since everyone has their own opinions and Offshore No. 5 has not arrived yet, then follow Captain Gu's plan first. If there is no result after two days, the drilling team will transfer to Offshore No. 5, start sea exploration."

"Mr. Yao, this will require an additional investment of tens of millions." Gu Peiqiang was not calm, because it involved an additional cost of tens of millions of yuan.

Their generation of oil workers is the same as Qin Zhenjun's generation. They regard cost as their life and spend every penny in half.

Yao Yuan waved his hands with a smile, and said, "As far as the current situation is concerned, cost control doesn't make much sense, so let's do it this way."

He made the final call.
