Chapter 690 Deep well oil production does not have the technical conditions in the short term!
"What does her family's oil have to do with our family? She won't marry the oil well to our family. Even if we get married, our family won't get much glory." She then asked her old father angrily and unhappily.
A young man is like this. He has little ability but a very high vision. He always feels that he has the ability to marry a wife who is more beautiful than a fairy.
"You know what? Why can't you get the glory? The Zhang family is not a big family. His family needs a lot of help to mine and sell oil. Our family is also a wealthy family after all, and we can help his family. Just like you, why Zhang
Your family keeps asking you if you have ever gone to school. Do you think they are hoping that you will become famous? They are thinking about having a son-in-law who can keep accounts. You are not comfortable with the marriage. I can tell you this.
Yes." Ding Huancheng, the young man's father, decided on the marriage directly on the donkey cart, without giving his son a chance to refute.
It is not difficult to change people's values. More than a year ago, what people here in Yanchuan valued most was land. For a place with many mountains and few rivers, having forty acres of paddy fields was definitely a wealthy family.
Even though the Zhang family had four sons, each son would not receive much land when the family was divided. But even if it was less than ten acres of paddy field, it was still a huge amount of family property.
In northern Shaanxi, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy paddy fields. People who have paddy fields regard them as their lifeblood and will only sell them when they are desperate. How many acres of paddy fields you have at home means that you will encounter a famine year.
It is also guaranteed, which means that the whole family can survive on the paddy fields and basically will not starve to death.
However, now, oil wells have become the most valued wealth for people in northern Shaanxi. Are you kidding me? No matter how good the land for growing crops is, how much can be harvested in a year? Oil mining is a source of endless money. Zhang
The situation of our family is even better than that of other families with oil wells. The wells dug on their land produce more oil than others. The rocky land that was originally despised by others has now become a cornucopia.
It is precisely because of the existence of a cornucopia in the Zhang family that Ding Huancheng is eager to join this family. The Ding family is considered a wealthy family in Yanchuan, but it is only a wealthy family in the mountainous area. What is produced in his family's paddy fields will not matter.
It's not even a big deal outside. For a small family like my own, all the output is enough to make enough food and clothing, and the family wealth can only be saved through diligence and frugality.
Now that the sons are all grown up, it will not be easy to support a large family in the future if they don't think of ways to make other livelihoods. The eldest and the second eldest have officially married, and they are both clamoring to separate the family and start a new life. For what reason?
Isn’t it because family wealth is so small that it is difficult to maintain a life for the whole family, and those who have a daughter-in-law feel that they are losing money!
After getting married, the Zhang family's oil well must have nothing to do with their own family, but they should do other things around the oil well. The Ding family can buy a few donkeys and let their sons work for the Zhang family to transport crude oil to the refinery.
Go. The second and third sons of the Ding family who have studied can go to the Zhangjia Mine to calculate accounts. Now that the Zhang family is rich, they may not only be engaged in the oil mining business, but also want to open a shop in the county.
Where? The Ding family can also participate in this kind of thing.
In short, Ding Huancheng clearly sees that it is of great benefit to have a relationship with the Zhang family. The Zhang family was poor in the past, and their relatives were also poor. In the future, few people will support their business, and the Ding family can just fill in the gap.
Mr. Zhang Erye, who is the master of the Zhang family, is aware of this, so he was very polite and considerate to Ding Huancheng and his son today.
The orders of parents and the words of matchmakers mean that young people in this era cannot make much decisions about marriage. Ding Yusheng was sulking while sitting on the donkey cart, unwilling to be destined for life by his father. He looked at the cart.
The road next to him was darkened by oil trucks. As the trucks moved forward and retreated, Ding Yusheng felt that his life would probably be as dark as the road.
He is really a young man who knows nothing about the world. If a few more years pass, he will definitely sneer at his naive ideas. Apart from the black spots, Zhang Erya is pretty good-looking, befitting a small landowner in a small county.
A son is more than enough.
The oil transportation road in Yanchuan County was burned black, but this dark road does not mean darkness, it represents the bright future of Yanchuan and even the entire Yan'an Prefecture.
Li Yuting, the prefect of Yan'an, came to Yanchuan County again. In the more than a year since he was appointed as the prefect of Yan'an, he has been here countless times.
"Wang Gong, how is the operation of the steam pumping unit?" After meeting Wang Tianqi, Li Yuting couldn't wait to ask the question he was most concerned about.
After more than a year of technical research, the steam oil recovery machine finally improved to some extent, and Li Yuting hurried over to inspect the situation.
"The efficiency is pretty good. Oil pumping is much more convenient and labor-saving than manual labor. It should be of great use."
"Okay, that's fine! With the steam pumping unit, we can expect Yan'an Prefecture's annual oil production to reach 200,000 dan. Judging from the recent news, there are few accidents at the refinery.
It has improved a lot, and your oil refining technology has also improved?"
"There has been some progress. The accidents that happen in the factory now are basically caused by the negligence of workers. Unlike before, it was impossible to prevent it. It is not easy to say that. For more than a year, I have lived with fear. Finally, I have taken care of the most dangerous things.
The time has passed."
"It's easy for you, Mr. Wang. I have a lot of troubles here. There is no good road for transporting oil. Big trucks can't travel, so the cost of transporting oil is high. We have to find ways to raise money to build roads. And there are other things.
, fighting for the land for oil wells has caused a lot of trouble, and the same efforts have been made to rectify it. It is a headache to talk about it.
By the way, Mr. Wang, can you think of ways to develop some more practical machinery for digging oil wells? The current method of digging oil seems not to be deep enough. Some oil wells have not produced oil for a year.
Oil is coming out. If the well can be drilled deeper, maybe more and better oil will be produced. If the well is deeper and the oil production is high, it can also raise the threshold for oil production and gradually form a large oil production company. This will also make it easier for the government to collect taxes.
, there are small oil wells all over the place now, they look lively, but their actual output is still limited.”
The oil currently being mined in Yanchuan is a shallow oil field, not the deep oil fields that were mined in later generations of northern Shaanxi oil fields. There are many places where shallow oil can be dug out in Yanchang County, but the reserves are not large.
It is not surprising that it is depleted every year. With the mining capabilities of this era, it is only possible to dig a shallow oil layer and drill a well of 30 to 40 feet, which is a very difficult project.
Li Yuting simply thought that if the well was dug deeper, the oil production would improve. His idea was right, but digging deeper was not a problem. The oil area must be dug more than ten times deeper than the current oil production area.
to develop truly high-yield oil fields. At the current rate of technological development, it will take at least several decades before it is possible to break through to the level of exploiting deep oil fields. For now, digging shallow oil will suffice, but digging deep oil will not even be possible.
