Except for a few cities along the Caspian Sea, the rest of Atyrau Oblast is basically uninhabited plains and mountains. The population is originally small, and they have all gathered in the water-rich areas along the coast, and there are no people in the interior.
After coming out of the No. 1 operation area, keep walking southwest, and drive all the way through according to the GPS navigation information. There is no road, so you can only find a way out. This is also the normal state of oil exploration.
Three Soviet-made crawler-type all-terrain vehicles opened the road in front of them. Yao Yuan drove an all-terrain truck, a Kamaz "Arctic" heavy-duty off-road truck with a 12-cylinder diesel engine and maximum power.
It has reached an astonishing 1,500 horsepower and can carry 20 tons of cargo in the wild at a speed of up to 50 kilometers per hour!
The T-80 main battle tank equipped in Russia, which uses a gas turbine, has a maximum horsepower of only 1,000 horsepower...
Kamaz is the heavy-duty truck brand of Kamus Automobile Factory. The heavy-duty trucks manufactured are widely used in the Soviet army and are active in Siberia with harsh climate and complex terrain. They are durable, strong and reliable. They are the AK-47 in the field of heavy trucks.
When Oriental Oilfield Services was established, what it was about to face was the rapid exploration of the Tyumen oil field in Siberia. Oriental Oilfield Services cooperated with the National Petroleum Corporation and adopted a human wave tactic, mobilizing 50,000 people to engage in exploration.
In order to protect the work and life of these personnel, Yao Yuan ordered Lu Sen to search throughout Russia for heavy-duty trucks that could operate normally in the harsh Siberian virgin forests.
It was at this time that Kamaz came into view.
Later, Lusen continued to do nothing and acquired the half-dead Camus Automobile Factory, made a large-scale capital injection into it, introduced a large number of automotive technical talents, and after making a large valuation,
12% of the shares were sold to Mercedes-Benz, and through this operation, we obtained the support of Mercedes-Benz heavy truck technology.
The most ridiculous thing is that Lussen changed the name of Kams Automobile Factory to Red Star Vehicle Manufacturing Joint Factory, which has a strong flavor of the Soviet era. Forward Group, Red Star Factory, he is stirring up the nerves of the Russians
ah.
Based on the original Kamaz heavy truck, Red Star Factory, Directional Machinery, and Mercedes-Benz, the three-party cooperation developed the "Arctic" series of off-road heavy trucks.
It can be seen from the name that this is a heavy-duty truck with strong off-road capabilities that can operate in the polar regions, ranging from 6??6 to 8??8, from 10 tons to 50 tons, covering every load capacity
.A variety of special models have even been developed for oil exploration.
For example, Yao Yuan is currently driving a flatbed truck used to carry drilling machinery, but he is pulling four BMW off-road vehicles. These BMW off-road vehicles were modified by the special vehicle factory under Fangxiang Machinery and are used as commuter vehicles for field exploration operations.
use.
Behind Yao Yuan, there was a long line of arctic off-road trucks and several old Kamaz heavy trucks carrying the mechanical equipment and supplies of the exploration team.
After a day's trek, at around five o'clock in the afternoon, Yao Yuan saw the abandoned drilling rig in the distance. The driving platform of the Arctic off-road truck was more than two meters high, and he could see over the crawler all-terrain vehicle in front of it.
Condition.
At this time, Lin Xiaohu was driving. Chen Chao and the two guards were sitting in the back seat. The cockpit was very spacious, and there was no problem for five people sitting side by side in the back seat. After the folding bed was put down, two people could lie side by side.
Yao Yuan picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered the convoy to stop. After it came to a stop, Yao Yuan picked up the telescope and got out of the skylight to observe the situation ahead.
Lin Xiaohu took the GPS navigator to check the current specific location. It showed that he had reached the Beimte Oil Field. In fact, he had only reached the edge. It seemed that the error was at least two or three kilometers.
"Ayuan, the position shows that the Beimte Oilfield is right ahead." Lin Xiaohu said.
Yao Yuan hummed and continued to observe.
After confirming that there are no other situations ahead, order the convoy to continue moving forward.
After entering the Bemut Oil Field, the convoy slowed down, and Gu Peiqiang took a car and quickly went out to find a suitable place to camp.
This oil field has been abandoned for decades. The drilling rig that has not been dismantled and transported has been rusted by countless winds, rains, and heavy snowstorms, and it stands there like a dying old man.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines down, and it feels like a doomsday city.
Yao Yuan jumped out of the car and walked on the hard ground to the nearest drilling rig. Lin Xiaohu quickly followed and scanned the surroundings vigilantly. Chen Chao immediately led people to unload the BMW off-road vehicle and divided the guard unit into several groups
, take a BMW off-road vehicle to search the oil field.
There is only an empty shelf left on the drilling rig, and there is also a single-head oil production machine, and there is an electric room with only one shelf left next to it. Obviously, this is a production oil well that was stopped for some reason.
Abandoned.
Yao Yuan took off the folding shovel tied to his waist, walked a few steps and dug a few times, half-kneeling, twisting the soil to observe and smell.
Lin Xiaohu asked curiously, "Can you smell the smell of oil?"
"One of the basis, especially for developed oil fields." Yao Yuan introduced to Lin Xiaohu while walking towards the drilling site.
The wellhead has long been sealed by flying sand and rocks, which shows that it has been abandoned for a long time, nearly half a century. From this point of view, the quality of the drilling rig and single-head oil production machine is still good, and they are still standing upright.
Yao Yuan observed the single-head oil extraction machine and could still see a layer of black oil stains on the nearby surface. Apparently, the oil stains had dried up and merged with the surface. It was difficult to wash away in the violent wind and rain. And the sediment covering it was always
It will be blown to other places in the next strong wind.
I took out the altimeter and looked at it. The altitude turned out to be a negative number. This should be the lowest location in the entire oil field.
Lin Xiaohu, who was checking on the other side, suddenly shouted, "There is a well here, there is water!"
Having water is definitely great news.
Yao Yuan walked over and saw that it was an engine well. The water pumping equipment had disappeared, leaving a lonely well. Looking down, he could see the water surface, which was only a few meters deep.
"There is so much water." Yao Yuan felt surprised.
Gu Peiqiang strode over with his technicians and brought over a geological map. He also felt strange, "The depth of groundwater here is so shallow? It shouldn't be."
According to the information provided by Kazakhstan, the Bemut Oilfield is located in a place with poor water resources, but judging from the current well, this does not seem to be the case.
Yao Yuan looked at it, pointed to the remaining floor not far away and said, "That should be where people live. This well is so close, so it should be domestic water. Maybe this independent groundwater was discovered during the exploration."
"If it is an oil well with a huge water content, it will take a lot of effort." Gu Peiqiang said worriedly.
Yao Yuan looked around and said, "There are not many wells left in the total. Let's start from here and explore according to the location of the production wells."
"Okay." Gu Peiqiang said, "Since there is a well here, we might as well set up the camp here. The safe distance is enough and the terrain is higher."
The remaining floor was a raised position, forming a platform, which was very suitable for building a camp. Yao Yuan agreed to Gu Peiqiang's plan, and Gu Peiqiang immediately led people to start building the camp.
The aviation ground crew accompanying the team were looking for a suitable place to build a helicopter take-off and landing site. According to the requirements of Dongfang Petroleum field exploration operations, the helicopter take-off and landing site should be established within 24 hours. The time is relatively tight.
Moreover, the small team is led by the big boss himself, so the air transportation line must be established as quickly as possible and put into use as quickly as possible.
