Chapter 600 Continue drilling

When the No. 503 drilling reached a depth of 2,940 meters, Su Cheng and other Chinese people became more focused. Gu Haijian, who was in charge of technical problems, and several other researchers of the Offshore Oil Research Institute looked at the phone calls in the cabin from time to time.

If you see oil huā or other signs of possible oil production, the drilling captain on the drilling platform will apply for oil test by phone. The successful oil test means that the oil well produces oil. If the oil test fails, you can only choose to continue drilling or give up. Because the judgment at the scene is often accurate, the phone rings at this time, and there is a great chance of seeing crude oil.

In Dahua Industry, the level of grass-roots cadres is much higher than that of state-owned enterprises, at least reaching the same level of foreign technology enterprises. On the one hand, it is because of the strong experience of on-site work, which is conducive to the accumulation and progress of domestic workers with a weak foundation. On the other hand, it is also because Dahua Industry is a young enterprise. It has few shackles, let alone a glass huā board, which can often attract and dig up many ambitious technical talents.

Correspondingly, the level of grassroots cadres in state-owned enterprises is generally uneven, which is not a problem of talent introduction, but a problem of talent use. Even if there are some smart and excellent grass-roots cadres, due to the linkage between treatment and level, when the promotion mechanism is smooth, these excellent grass-roots cadres will be promoted to management at a rapid speed, thus leaving the grass-roots work and getting a salary that is appropriate to their talents and efforts. In the case of a poor promotion mechanism, excellent grass-roots cadres cannot be promoted, and the welfare benefits are naturally not good. One year or two is okay. After a long time, there will inevitably be resentment, which will affect the work.

In Dahua Industry, the drilling captain is evaluated as an important position of Class A, and the director of the drilling platform is an important position of Class A+. Not only the full-time job, even if he has been a deputy for two or three years, he can rise to the middle position of the "special contribution list", which means that the dividend level is higher There are more levels of management. In this way, the integrity of the grassroots can be guaranteed, and grassroots cadres will not blindly pursue promotion to management. Although the latter has more room for improvement, the work requirements are different. If you can't adapt, it is not only difficult to promote, but may fall from the "special contribution list". For Dahua employees, whether they can be on the list is at least twice the income gap, and the income in the middle of the list is even more than ordinary employees. The salary is more than five times, which can't be more important.

Dahua's dividend system has also been implemented for several years. Whether it is three barrels of oil or other domestic enterprise employees, they basically know something about it. Therefore, many grass-roots cadres who are unwilling to be lonely will try to come to Dahua Industry to try the water when they can't do it in their own unit. Compared with the booming Large-scale private enterprises such as industry have much less risk, and with the salary return of Dahua Industry, no one will feel less.

After all, the mid-1990s are different from the 1980s. People are relatively open-minded. People who earn the first bucket of gold and the second bucket of gold also constantly impact people's ideas with wealth. On the other hand, white-collar workers in foreign companies have almost become a myth, and under the conscious promotion of Dahua Public Relations Department, working in Dahua Industry has almost got a number of good jobs in China.

In fact, due to the extremely high profit of Dahua Industry, this is indeed a good job in China. Compared with the 1.5 million employees of PetroChina, Dahua Industry has only expanded to more than 30,000. Therefore, although the overall profit is still a lot less, it is much more spread to each employee. Although the dividend released each year is only about 10% of the total profit, it is still extremely rich.

Li Hu, the drilling captain of the No. 503 drilling platform, came from the state-owned coal mine. He went to Dahua Industry in the big recruitment during the development period of Setan. After working as an oil refiner in Setan Coal Mine for two years, he successively experienced drilling, cementing and other work. Later, he went to the Pudong The deputy captain of the oil production team, the deputy captain of the exploration team, and the captain of the drilling team. After almost a round, he studied again. He was selected to assist in the construction in the Caspian Sea area, followed the exploration, and then became the drilling captain of the most important drilling platform, and also served as the position of platform supervisor.

In terms of resume and technology, the 32-year-old Li Hu is impeccable. He also relies on his resume and technology to get the most important blue-collar position in the whole Dahua industry. If there is no accident, he will be there in the future oilfield development work.

Despite his rich experience, Li Hu on the drilling platform has no intention of being relaxed at all.

Offshore drilling platforms use the most advanced technology in the world, and advanced technology often means short use time, less use time and less use experience. At the same time, the most advanced technology is usually not the most mature technology, but usually represents complex operations.

In this way, Li Hu, who has to participate in two or three months of further study every year, doesn't care. What really makes him look solemn is the drilling itself.

Whether there are signs of oil coming out and when the oil should be tested decisively need to be judged according to experience and on-site conditions, and the judgment time is often very short, and the opportunity is often fleeting.

In history, many oil fields have experienced drilling two or three times. After three years of concessions, there are many oilfields that have not been found. After turning over, it is not uncommon for oilfields to be found by other companies.

Most of the time, the signs of oil out of oil are very obvious. Whether you can get the jet oil in the end depends on the choice of test oil.

If you choose the wrong time, the oil test may be mud. Even if the crude oil is surging 30 centimeters away, you can't find it.

Li Hu will not let an oil well slip away from his hand.

However, from 2800 meters to 2,940 meters now, it has been 90 meters, and nothing has been found.

Li Hu's expression was calm, and his heart was inevitably changed.

Nowadays, the first drilling well is produced as usual. If No. 503 is in the same oil field or oil area as it, it should be found at this depth.

At least, the state of the underground should be changed.

"Why don't we stop drilling and do a test oil first?" The deputy captain of the drilling team is more than 40 years old and has rich experience. He is a good hand dug up by the Dahua Personnel Department from Xinjiang. There are no more than one thousand or eight hundred drilling participants, but he did not want to live in the local area for a long time. He just jumped to Dahua Industry, but he didn't expect to be Of course, the environment near the Caspian Sea is not bad, and the rich salary is enough for him to live in the Shang * Hai'an family where the headquarters is located. The deputy captain has no idea of changing jobs again. He lives at home for two months every year and works abroad for more than half a year, living a life similar to a fisherman.

Li Hu has always respected the opinion of the vice captain. The number of wells drilled is still a very important experience in this era.

However, this well was stared at by Li Hu from beginning to end. After thinking about it for a while, he shook his head and said, "If you drill to 3,000 meters, there will be no oil, and then consider the oil test. We are far away from the No. 1 well, and we may not be able to find the right place if we take it back.

"Then wait." The deputy captain did not insist.

The inclined well is a high-end technology in the drilling process. The Tsloping oilfield and the Setan oilfield have used large slope wells for 7 years later, and the technology of extending the inclined well in the drilling process is also relatively mature. Such a horizontal well can correct the position difference of the vertical drilling, but it also needs to be in the

The inlet of drilling is still slowly increasing.

On the auxiliary ship, Gu Haijian's face was sweaty, and he kept turning over the geological map in his hand. Compared with the computer, he said, "In line with reason, the oil here may be very high."

Su Cheng stayed on the ship with representatives of six other companies. Naturally, Gu Haijian, who made a fool of himself, played a great role in his judgment.

However, nearly 3,000 meters of oil has not been released, which is indeed not in Gu Haijian's judgment.

This is offshore drilling. It is not like the onshore drilling technology that can reach five or six kilometers. In terms of marine technology in the mid-1990s, drilling to 3,000 meters is not shallow, and 3,500 meters is almost the normal drilling depth. No matter how deep the drilling platform is, it is not without, but the cost of this kind of drilling platform is The cost of oil wells is not too low, so the cost per barrel is a little too high.

In later deep-sea drilling platforms, the cost of barrel oil can be as high as $70 per barrel, which is close to the oil price, counting other expenses. The technology in 1994 was not so good, but in terms of medium-distance drilling, the cost is relatively higher. No one wants to encounter oil fields below 3,500 meters.

Shi Wanke, as an employee of CNOOC, also understood the truth. He secretly glanced at Su Cheng, but saw that the latter's face was calm and he could not see any change at all.

"It's 3000 meters." A yellow flag was hung on the drilling platform, representing the reach of 3,000 meters.

If it had been before, the drilling team might have to cheer. However, under the hint of depth, this yellow flag is a dilemma.

"Su Dong, Gu Suo, do you want to guide the scene?" Yang Ming knew that Su Cheng advocated trusting the scene, but he still reminded him in a low voice.

Gu Haijian's back was wet with sweat. He dropped the drawing and said in a low voice, "Now there are two choices. Go down or force the oil test. If the forced oil test performs well, you can also consider the perforation scheme.

The underground crude oil is layer by layer, just like the cream in the cake. There are often a few meters thick or dozens of meters thick oil layers hidden between hundreds of kilometers of rocks. If the drilling position is relatively remote, it is not surprising to encounter dozens of centimeters of crude oil layers.

The oil test usually opens a mouth on the oil layer so that the pressure is released, and the crude oil is naturally delivered continuously.

The perforation is slightly stronger, which can break through the mud under the well and increase the success rate of the oil test. Such a city has tried this way in a waste oil well.

By the mid-1990s, this technology was quite mature and a common method.

However, no matter how good the means are, there must be a layer of oil under the well.

At least, within 3,000 meters that has been drilled down, an oil layer is needed.

Su Cheng thought silently.

Over the years, he has been used to making decisions at critical moments.

Life is composed of decisions one by one. The right decisions lead to rise, and the wrong decisions lead to the decline.

In the process of thinking in Sucheng, the engine roar on the drilling platform has gradually decreased.

Drilling captain Li Hu is also hesitating.

Drilling is not as deep as possible. The drilling process will squeeze out the mud in the well and drill down to 3,000 meters. The oil layer at 2,000 meters is equivalent to experiencing 1,000 meters of mud backing. Using the metaphor of the image, the oil layer is very likely to be pasted.

The expected depth of the oil layer is about 2,860 meters. Now it has been drilled to 3,000 meters, which has little impact on the oil layer. If you drill a few hundred meters, there will be a layer, and it may also be contaminated.

Li Hu carefully observed the reversal of the mud, and was not sure whether it would continue.

At this time, the blue phone on the drilling platform rang.

"I'm Li Hu, the drilling captain." Li Hu picked up the phone and first reported to his home. Next to him was the auxiliary boat, and the telephone line was also pulled there. Needless to say, it was called by the command center.

"I'm Su Cheng." Su Cheng was full of anger, but Li Hu was stunned.

"Chairman?"

"It's me. What's the situation at the scene?

"At present, there is no sign of oil." What Li Hu said was very difficult.

"I'm Gu Haijian, director of the Offshore Oil Research Institute. Is there any sign?" Gu Haijian lay on the table and shouted at the hands-free.

Li Hu took the microphone a little farther away from himself. When he finished speaking, he whispered, "I didn't see any signs of oil."

"From 2850 meters to 3,000 meters, there is no sign?" Gu Haijian asked repeatedly, which was inconsistent with his judgment.

"No." Li Huming knew that he couldn't see the opposite side, so he shook his head.

"Continue to drill." This time it was changed to Sucheng.

"Su Dong!"

"Chairman!"

Gu Haijian and Li Hu both called out.

"Li Hu, right? I just read your resume. You are one of the drilling captains who have found the most oil wells in the Sertan oilfield. Although the ruler is not the highest, the output of the oil production wells is in the top 10. I think you are a drilling captain with enough detail that you will not miss any signs of oil. I believe in your judgment. Please continue to drill. We are waiting for your good news. Su Cheng's voice was not in a hurry, as if he were stating a fact.

Somehow, Li Hu suddenly became speechless, and his voice suddenly became extremely dry, as if he had run 10,000 meters.

He also believes in himself, his professional level, his experience, and his feelings. Because of this, he refused the vice captain's suggestion and insisted on drilling.

However, he also knew that there were domestic inspection groups and visitors from foreign companies on the auxiliary ship. In the end, Su Cheng chose to believe in himself, not Gu Haijian, the director of the Offshore Oil Research Institute

As an employee of Dahua, everyone knows the status of Dahua Laboratory in the heart of Sucheng. Gu Haijian is the absolute authority in marine oil

Su Cheng's voice was still stable, as if to explain to everyone: "Although drilling can be successful without signs of oil, this situation is not much. On the contrary, I think that oil can be released at 2,860 meters, which lacks sufficient scientific basis. I believe that Li Hu's judgment is the best choice to continue drilling.

This is the second time that Su Cheng said, "Believe in Li Hu's judgment."

Li Hu murmured again, and his hesitant look was swept away.

"Keep drilling! Pay attention to the record" Li Hu roared, like a sailor in the sailing era, full of momentum and high-willing.
