There were no problems with the technical process and the operation of the equipment, which was expected. Qin Zhenjun did two more well loggings, and the results were the same.
This is very evil. In other words, such a result is very abnormal.
Li Guangwu produced another report and said conclusively, "I can confirm that the recoverable reserves of the Kashagan block have reached 4 billion tons, and the results of the recoverable reserves of natural gas have not been made yet."
Yao Yuan and Qin Zhenjun fell into deep thought.
The more optimistic the geological exploration results are, the more the anomalies in the logging results are highlighted.
Such a situation is indeed unprecedented, at least Qin Zhenjun has never encountered it in his half-life of oil exploration career.
Qin Zhenjun had no idea.
There was a dull silence in the command and control room...
Polymer oil recovery.
Such a phrase flashed before Yao Yuan's eyes.
New oil fields requiring secondary recovery...
Is the Kashagan Field such an oil field?
Yao Yuan tried his best to recall the few fragments of memory, but unfortunately his memory was really limited. He only knew that the difficulty in mining the Kashagan Field was due to the harsh climate. As for the rest, he really couldn't remember anything else.
Is it just climate issues that are keeping Western oil companies away?
In addition to political factors, in addition to climate factors, there may be other factors, and there must be! Yao Yuan wants to understand that with the urine of Western oil companies, economic interests always come first.
Most likely, the cost of mining makes them unprofitable.
Thinking of this, Yao Yuan said as expected, "Uncle Qin, try using polymer to displace oil."
"Secondary oil recovery?" Qin Zhenjun was stunned, "This will greatly increase the cost of extraction, which is extremely detrimental to subsequent development."
Yao Yuan said in a deep voice, "The railway can be built and the cost can be controlled. Furthermore, our secondary oil recovery cost is only one-fifth or even lower than that of foreign countries, and I judge that oil prices will rise in the future. Let's do it this way
,Uncle Qin."
"Okay, let's do it." Qin Zhenjun believed in Yao Yuan's judgment, no matter how absurd it was.
Oil prices rising?
The pressure of falling international oil prices is very great.
Qin Zhenjun didn't think about that anymore and immediately issued the order. Gu Peiqiang was also surprised after receiving the order. He couldn't help but look up from the work deck and saw Qin Zhenjun nodding slowly, confirming that the order was correct.
The drilling team quickly adjusted and started secondary oil recovery, and the polymer was drilled down one ton after another.
I thought I would have to wait a long time, but I didn't expect that the downhole pressure increased rapidly before a few tons of polymer had been pumped.
Qin Zhenjun and Yao Yuan looked at each other, and the latter said decisively, "Do well logging."
"Okay." Qin Zhenjun quickly issued instructions to make adjustments.
Gu Peiqiang immediately started logging.
The results came out quickly. Qin Zhenjun was shocked when he saw the latest logging results, while Yao Yuan smiled and remained silent, as if everything was under his control.
"This oil field is really a monster." Qin Zhenjun sighed and learned a new word from Yao Yuan.
"Test again without adding polymer," Yao Yuan said.
The heroes saw the same thing, Qin Zhenjun thought the same, and immediately issued new instructions.
The logging results show that this is an oil well with a daily production of 30,000 tons, which is almost the same as the second largest oil well in the world. This result is surprising and thought-provoking.
If the well is not drilled with polymer, it will be a waste well. If the well is drilled with a little polymer, it will become a super-high-yield well. The data is completely inconsistent. It is not a monster.
Test once with polymer and again without polymer. Once the two sets of data are compared, it will be clear who is Li Kui and who is Li Gui.
The results came out quickly, which once again surprised Qin Zhenjun and made Yao Yuan change his face. He took the report and frowned, "50,000 tons per day? Are you kidding me?"
Qin Zhenjun couldn't laugh or cry. He didn't believe it at all. He said, "The data doesn't match at all. Let's test it a few more times."
"Well, test it a few more times and compare it with each other to see what's going on." Yao Yuan said.
Qin Zhenjun rolled up his sleeves and intuitively encountered the weirdest technical problem in his career.
He immediately designed a well logging plan, with or without polymer injection, and formulated a well logging process to ensure that there would be no problems in every link.
Yao Yuan folded his arms and waited patiently.
The logging results came out one after another. Qin Zhenjun personally compared them one by one, holding a pencil and making quick calculations on the drawings.
Yao Yuan noticed that Qin Zhenjun used quick arithmetic, which was very fast, which opened his eyes. Fewer and fewer college students have mastered this skill. In Qin Zhenjun's era, the ability to do written arithmetic was very important, and the ability to do quick arithmetic was very important.
The atomic bomb was calculated by scientists using pens and abacuses.
For a long time, Qin Zhenjun stopped writing and looked over it again and again for half a moment. He finally wrote down a number, and then slowly put the pencil down. His expression was solemn, as if he had discovered something extraordinary. It seemed that this thing was not a good thing.
.
Everyone's hearts sank, and they naturally thought that the previous so-called daily production of 50,000 tons was false data. It was a temporary data displayed by the oil well and could not reflect the real production. Thinking of this, everyone showed disappointment.
Qin Zhenjun looked at Yao Yuan, but said nothing, and walked out of the command and control room. This scene fell in everyone's eyes. It was the commander-in-chief who needed to find a quiet place to quiet down and reflect on the exploration these days - why?
Without high-yield wells, aren’t there 3 billion tons of recoverable reserves?
Yao Yuan's heart moved slightly, and he walked out expressionlessly without saying anything. This scene made everyone feel even more heavy.
The big boss personally shouldered so much pressure and gave everyone enough time to conduct exploration and research. However, in the end, there was such a result that made the big boss so disappointed that he didn't want to talk. How can we not make people feel ashamed and blame themselves.
Following the stairs to the helicopter landing platform, Yao Yuan saw Qin Zhenjun standing on the edge of the protective net with his hands behind his back and looking into the distance. That was where the sea and the sky met. The blue of the Caspian Sea and the depth of the sky gave people a feeling that they had lost the concept of distance.
Vague.
Yao Yuan walked to Qin Zhenjun and stood beside him, took out a cigarette and handed him a cigarette, lit it for him, lit one himself, took a puff, and slowly exhaled the smoke.
Qin Zhenjun did not smoke, letting the cigarette burn faster than usual under the sea breeze.
He spoke slowly, "At the beginning of 1992, the oil field leader asked me if I wanted to go on a business trip to Russia's Tyumen Oilfield to organize the arrangements. How can I say that I don't want to?"
He smiled bitterly and shook his head, "What I didn't expect was that after I left, I would become a member of Dongfang Petroleum. At that time, it was still Dongfang Oilfield Services Company. I thought that even if it was a temporary job, it would only last for a year and a half at most. However, Su Jianmin kept trying to persuade me to resign.
Go to sea and join Oriental Oilfield Services."
"I am very resistant. There is no room for survival for our private oil companies in China, and the national economic system does not allow the emergence of privately controlled oil companies above a certain scale. I am engaged in technology, and I am unwilling to leave Shengli Oilfield because there are more
Huge development space, the largest platform in China.”
"I never expected that Su Jianmin told me that if I joined Oriental Oilfield Services, I would be given a research fund of 30 million yuan every year. 30 million yuan... The funds allocated to our research institute in 1991 were more than 3 million yuan, and the personnel expenses and daily expenses were
It will cost 2 million yuan, and the remaining 1 million yuan is the entire year's research funding for the entire institute..."
"I made up my mind to invest 30 million in research funding. At that time, I thought, no matter what company it is, if it gives me 30 million in research funding in an important year, I will have the confidence to produce technological achievements that are leading in the country and at the same level in the world."
"I never expected that at the end of 1992, after all the research funds were spent, Su Jianmin, after learning about this, would actually allocate an additional 20 million yuan in research funds to me."
"From that time on, I was sure that Oriental Oilfield Services would develop rapidly in a short period of time, but I didn't expect it would develop so fast. The most important thing is that I didn't expect that it would develop rapidly without getting involved in domestic oil exploration and production.
Under such circumstances, Dongfang Oilfield Services developed into what is now Dongfang Petroleum in just four years."
“The Sakha oil field in the Tyumen oil area is a fifteen-year oil field service contract with the Baku oil field, the Sedan oil field, the exclusive oil and gas resource partner of Turkmenistan, the Bakneft oil pipeline, and now the Kazakhstan oil and gas concession.
In terms of recoverable reserves, Dongfang Petroleum has ranked among the top three in the world."
Qin Zhenjun said so much in one breath, then took a puff of cigarette, then stamped out the cigarette butt and put it in his pocket, because the cigarette burned to the end and there was only one puff left.
He turned to look at Yao Yuan with a serious expression, "Xiao Yao, every time I wonder how you make accurate judgments. You studied mechanical design, but your sense of oil exploration is better than the rest of us.
Oil people who have spent half their lives have to be sharp, and this cannot be explained by luck."
Yao Yuan is not afraid of anything. He is not afraid of someone being serious. With his current status, even if the leaders of the ministries and commissions try to challenge him, he can refuse to respond. His career is his confidence.
However, when meeting a single-minded technical expert like Qin Zhenjun, once he starts to be serious, he has to take it seriously, because if you show a little perfunctory, the other party will see your insincerity.
Why can Chunfeng Academy of Sciences gather so many technical personnel?
As the deputy chief engineer of Chunfeng Academy of Sciences, Qin Zhenjun is the same type of person as Zhan Chenggui, not for the generous salary, but because the Chunfeng Academy of Sciences has a platform that can be as big as they imagine.
How big is the difference here?
Take the Shengli Oilfield Drilling Research Institute as an example. Within the institute, researchers who graduated from universities will work as odd jobs for two or three years when they arrive at the institute. Then some of them can be promoted to assistant researchers and become senior odd jobs. From here on, those who want to become
Researchers who can independently take charge of projects can do so for three to five years if they are lucky, and for ten or eight years if they are unlucky.
Let’s talk about the issue of funding security. We need to apply for a material fee. The project team makes a budget and reports it to the department leader, and then to the leader in charge. Don’t think this is enough. You also have to deal with various inquiries and reviews from the financial department.
Do more and make more mistakes, do less and make fewer mistakes. Under such a trend, financial review often has a difficult meaning. By the time the money is approved, the cucumbers will be cold several times...
This is just the material cost.
Experiments in scientific research are the most expensive. Some materials are so expensive that it is beyond imagination. In the final analysis, they are built up by money and time. Yao Yuanfei wanted the basic experimental data of Mitsubishi Motors back then, and was even willing to pay a higher price for it. Officially
Because basic experimental data cannot be obtained with money, it takes time and requires long-term and continuous experimental accumulation.
The current domestic research institutions are not competitive in scientific research, but China is still able to produce a variety of world-class technologies. The main reason lies in the national system and dedication, especially the latter.
Qin Zhenjun is such a person. He does not consider personal interests. He has no idea how much money Oriental Petroleum paid him and what treatment he received. He has never asked.
What he values is that Dongfang Petroleum provides an excellent research environment, which is undoubtedly the biggest attraction for Qin Zhenjun, who is obsessed with scientific research.
At this time, Qin Zhenjun asked a question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time. It was obvious that he was asking a technical question.
Yao Yuan cannot avoid this problem, nor can he avoid it.
Of course, he cannot tell Qin Zhenjun that he is a reborn person and that the world will be under his control in the next twenty years. Otherwise, Qin Zhenjun will think that he is suffering from mental illness due to excessive pressure.
Yao Yuan spoke slowly and said, "Uncle Qin, I didn't come forward to talk to you at that time because I was still a student. You would not believe that a college student could be in charge of such a company. Asking Mr. Su to come forward was for consideration.
After all, he is also from the petroleum system and I know you. Secondly, he is more like the person in charge than me."
"I know that you initially recognized me during the racing exploration in the Tyumen Oilfield, so I know that you are a person with a down-to-earth style. Among scientists, you are more down-to-earth."
After a pause, Yao Yuan said, "Tyumen Oilfield, Baku Oilfield, Central Asia Oil and Gas, Sedan Oilfield, etc., Uncle Qin, from a technical point of view, I don't know the situation of these oilfields at all, and I can't judge.
"
"My judgment is based on the situation. For example, in the Sedan Oilfield, competing for the Sedan Oilfield is the biggest test for me. I judge that the Sedan Oilfield has high reserves and high-yield wells, and I rely on the conclusions drawn by you and all the technical staff. Your
The conclusion is my conclusion.”
"I know that no one is optimistic about underwriting the natural gas in the United Arab Emirates and taking over the Sedan Oilfield at the expense of it. Everyone thinks that there will be a loss. Yes, the natural gas market is so big, and it cannot accommodate two million people per year.
Tons of new items have been added. What is the basis for me to offer this condition?"
"I am extremely optimistic about the future prospects of the Chinese market. We have a population of one billion and a vast territorial space. No matter how you look at it, it will become the largest single market in the world in the future. What I am betting on is the future development prospects of our China."
, the economy of the eastern coastal region only needs to grow by 4%, and the additional two million tons of natural gas is nothing at all."
"The result is that I was right in my bet. Last year, the national GDP growth rate was 11%, far exceeding my expectations. The eastern coastal area is the main economic growth area, and the new two million tons of natural gas can barely meet the demand for coal-to-gas conversion."
needs.”
Yao Yuan looked at Qin Zhenjun and said sincerely, "Uncle Qin, I have no complaints about the country's control of energy resources in the hands of state-owned enterprises. This is the foundation of national energy security, but we also need the country to support our overseas business activities and support us."
To open up new territories."
He successfully answered Qin Zhenjun's questions and at the same time successfully changed the topic to national security and national justice.
Qin Zhenjun couldn't help but be in awe. What he saw in young Yao Yuan was China's future, a future that would catch up with Britain and the United States and even surpass it.
He took the initiative to ask Yao Yuan for a cigarette and took two puffs. Then he faced Caspian Sea and said slowly but firmly, "The data I wrote in the command and control room was wrong. The real data does not have a negative sign. Xiao
Yao, we got another super-high-yield well. I had a hunch that this news was very important, so I didn’t write it down on the spot.”
Yao Yuan quickly recalled that the data Qin Zhenjun wrote on the conclusion at that time was -9.6...
