The atmosphere in the bridge control center was very strange. The employees of Dongfang Petroleum were beaming with joy, and all of them were working attentively with their chins held high. However, the foreigners who came to visit were all in different moods. Without exception, they all stretched their arms.
Look at the work deck with your neck bent, the focus is on the work deck.
Lin Shuting asked Yao Yuan in a low voice, "Are you waiting for some news?"
"Well, Uncle Qin is doing well logging, which is production logging. How much oil this oil well can produce every day will be known after the logging is completed." Yao Yuan explained.
Lin Shuting glanced at the foreigners and whispered, "From what I heard, they seemed to be executives from big oil companies. They should be competitors. How could they..."
What she meant was why they were so humble when facing Yao Yuan.
Yao Yuan smiled and said, "The proven recoverable reserves of Sedan Oilfield are as high as 2 billion tons. Well, it is more than all the domestic oil fields combined. These two wells may both have a daily production of 10,000 tons. In other words, Dongfang Petroleum only
With these two wells, we can release 600,000 tons of crude oil into the international crude oil market every month."
After a pause, he said, "Based on past experience, it is very easy to produce more than one million tons per month. This will have a great impact on the international crude oil market, and can even affect the rise and fall of crude oil prices."
Yao Yuan lowered his voice and said, "They can't get the Sedan Oilfield, so they are trying to make a fortune in the futures market. Naturally, they have to find a way to win over me."
Lin Shuting understood at once. The reason is very simple. Oil prices will rise if production is reduced, and oil prices will fall if oil production is increased. To put it bluntly, Oriental Petroleum is already qualified to enter the ranks of influencing international oil prices. Of course, these foreign oil companies will have great ability to win over them.
"But, doesn't Dongfang Petroleum also have a Baku oil field? Last time you said that the reserves there are also very rich." Lin Shuting asked without understanding.
Yao Yuan said, "The major shareholder of the Baku Oilfield is the Azerbaijan State Oil Company. Although the operation is done by Oriental Petroleum, we need to discuss with the Azerbaijan State Oil Company on the increase or decrease of production. The Sedan Oilfield is different, it completely belongs to Oriental Oil
We can do whatever we want with petroleum."
"So that's what happened." Lin Shuting nodded slowly.
Yao Yuan said, "There is another reason. The Baku oil field mainly supplies domestic supplies. Maintaining stability there is in line with the national oil energy security strategy."
"I understand, I just know that you are doing these things outside. No wonder Professor Mo said that it would be an exaggeration to award you an honorary doctorate." Lin Shuting hugged Yao Yuan's arm, with admiration in her eyes.
There will be more and more people who can make a lot of money, but at the same time, there will be fewer and fewer people who still maintain an innocent heart for their family and country, which makes Yao Yuan's quality even more valuable.
Yao Yuan said proudly, "Look how I made all the money from Gui Lao, and then invested it back in China to help the economic construction of our motherland."
"I can get you." Lin Shuting hummed, feeling happy.
On the operation deck, Qin Zhenjun, who was also covered in crude oil, received the final logging data, but he did not respond for a long time.
The blowout has been completely controlled. The black dragon that originally rushed more than fifty meters into the air was tamed by Chinese oil workers, and it obediently fed the oil to the oil storage ship along the pipeline.
The workers surrounded Qin Zhenjun, all of them looked like black people, showing white teeth when they smiled, waiting for Chief Engineer Qin to announce the good news.
Qin Zhenjun hesitated. He raised his head and looked at the bridge control center. He raised and put the hand holding the intercom up and down again.
Yao Yuan noticed it, pressed the intercom and asked, "Uncle Qin, how is the situation?"
Qin Zhenjun hesitated.
At this time, the smiles on the faces of the workers who could understand the data disappeared, revealing the same expression as Qin Zhenjun.
"Uncle Qin?" Yao Yuan asked again.
Qin Zhenjun took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Ayuan, there may be some mistakes and the data is not right. Give me some more time and I will test it again."
Yao Yuan was stunned for a moment, but without any blame, he smiled easily and said, "Uncle Qin, it doesn't matter. Just take your time and measure it. A very high-yield well is enough."
Self-injection alone is not enough. It also depends on the sustainability of the self-injection. To put it bluntly, it depends on how much oil is underneath. Now it seems that the Dongfang No. 5 well may belong to the category of short-lived.
Ruiz had been paying attention to Yao Yuan's movements and asked quickly, "Mr. Yao, are the results out?"
"Not yet, don't worry." Yao Yuan said calmly.
Ruiz didn't know the situation on the work deck, so he nodded repeatedly, "No need to worry, no need to worry."
On the operation deck, Qin Zhenjun said seriously to the technicians and workers, "When doing well logging again, we must be serious and serious. We must not make any mistakes again."
Everyone quickly started working.
Qin Zhenjun held the report paper stained with black crude oil on the edge and frowned deeper and deeper.
With a daily production of 50,000 tons, how is that possible?
Well Azer No. 4, discovered in Mexico at the beginning of the 20th century, has a daily production of 37,000 tons, which is already the largest single well in the world.
It took 57 days to control the Azel 4 blowout.
It is true that nearly a century has passed and oil extraction technology has been greatly improved, but with the scale of the Dongfang 5 blowout, the daily production data of 50,000 tons should not be measured in any case.
Yes, Qin Zhenjun did not dare to tell Yao Yuan this data because he did not believe that the daily output of the offshore oil well under his feet was 50,000 tons.
This data cannot be more wrong!
There must have been some error during the well logging process.
Qin Zhenjun, who was born during the Great Leap Forward era, is very aware of the consequences of spreading such false data!
Qin Zhenjun folded the report paper and put it in his pocket, and personally followed every test link.
This time he went very slowly, checking every link repeatedly before moving on to the next step. Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was three poles above the sun.
The captain of the oil storage ship "Adele" suddenly called, "Oriental 5, our ship has received 80% of the crude oil. Repeat, we can only receive another 2,000 tons of crude oil before we must return."
This is a local oil storage ship. The captain speaks English and his voice is very clear in the bridge control center.
At this time, everyone's focus was on the well logging, and no one noticed that the volume and flow rate transported to the oil storage ship continued to rise. When the transport controller woke up and looked at the instrument clearly, he was stunned.
That is an oil storage ship capable of carrying 100 million crude oil!
No one would believe that 80%, which is 8,000 tons, could be filled in just a few hours!
Oriental Petroleum only hired the "Adele" oil storage ship because no matter how many wells were drilled, it was absolutely impossible to fill the ship in one day.
One oil storage ship is enough.
There was no reply from the bridge control center, so the "Adele" called again.
Yao Yuan was stunned for a moment, then grabbed the walkie-talkie and ran to the operation deck like crazy.
Dongfang 5 is a third-generation offshore drilling platform. It has a certain oil storage capacity. It is used for emergency purposes. Crude oil that has not been transported to the "Asel" has been placed on the platform.
In the emergency oil storage tank.
If the data received by the "Adele" is true, plus the storage capacity of the platform itself, more than 10,000 tons of crude oil have been sprayed out in the past five hours!
How is that possible!
Yao Yuan went down to the operation deck and asked the "Adele", "I am Dongfang 5. Is the data correct? Please verify your reception volume."
"The Axel understands." The captain of the Axel replied immediately.
He also found it strange. He had been driving an oil storage ship for more than 20 years and he had never encountered such a situation. In fact, he was woken up in his sleep. He had been on standby last night and did not dare to sleep. He was connected to the platform.
After the oil pipeline, he took a good rest.
Even if I sleep until dark, I still can't pretend.
But after lying down for only two or three hours, the first mate came to report that the intake reached 80% of the approved amount.
He also suspected that the data was wrong.
So, after receiving the order, he immediately led someone to verify it using the most intuitive and stupidest method - opening the oil storage tank for manual measurement.
After the hatch cover of the oil storage tank was opened, the captain found that there was no need to use measuring tools because he could clearly see the surface of the crude oil, which was very close to the hatch.
There are no errors in the data...
At this time, in the bridge control center, Jackson reacted the fastest and said, "The Adele just said that the reception reached 80%, is that true?"
"Okay, it seems so." Cornell, who had been standing next to him, said in a daze.
No one came back to their senses.
Hans once again used his quick calculation ability, looked at the time, and calculated subconsciously, "Eight thousand tons in five hours, an average hour is 1,600 tons, and a day is 38,400 tons...
"
"Thirty-eight thousand, four hundred tons!" he suddenly exclaimed.
As if something was ignited, everyone came to their senses and ran to the work deck like crazy.
Jackson was still stunned and murmured, "No, there is still a part of the platform that will exceed 40,000 tons... 40,000 tons!"
He also went crazy and ran towards the work deck desperately.
Lin Shuting couldn't calm down anymore. She got up and walked to the windshield to go to the work deck to see. A group of people in suits and leather shoes rushed over and surrounded Qin Zhenjun regardless of their filth.
At this time, Qin Zhenjun got the second well logging report. The above data made this old technical expert who had been engaged in oil for half his life look dull. He seemed to have lost the ability to speak. He handed the report to Yao Yuan, and then took out the second well logging report from his pocket.
A well logging report was also handed over.
Yao Yuan controlled his heart that was about to jump out and tried his best to calm down, but his slightly shaking hands still betrayed his excitement at this moment.
The final data on the first well logging report was 51,000 tons, and the number on the second well logging report was 51,500 tons...
The intercom rang again, and the captain of the oil storage ship "Adele" reported with certainty and urgency, "Dongfang 5, our reception capacity is approaching 90%, and we must arrange for another oil storage ship!"
If you still think that the data is wrong at this time, you are really deceiving yourself.
Yao Yuan looked at the nervous Ruiz, and then said slowly in as calm a tone as possible, "Mr. Minister, you can report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The daily output of Dongfang 5's self-injection is 50,000 tons, which is 35 tons per day.
