The Chinese Empire, Beijing, China Palace

Zheng Yu was flipping through the information in his hand, but he didn't know if he heard the story of the person on the other side.

"…The solution we are planning to adopt this time is rotary drilling. It was first used in Borneo oil fields, and then in California. Now, Yumen Oilfield and Guangxi Yanchang are using this technology to drill. This is mainly used to drill winches and wire ropes. We are planning to hire Hamill Brothers to be responsible for the drilling technology. They cooperate well with our spindle top oilfield in Texas and are very professional. Especially the technology of using clear water clay mud is very mature. They also have a unique skill, which is to solve the blowout. In order to solve the blowout, an oil production tree was developed, which is a bit like a Christmas tree, including nozzles, tees, gate valves and vertical and horizontal pipes, which can control the blowout..."

Zhang Wenmao, chief engineer of Imperial Oil Company, swallowed and continued to follow the rules.

"…We still use Howard Hughes's double-wheel drill bit patent, after all, we are an old partner. We have always used this type of drill bit well, several times faster than a fishtail drill bit. The diamonds we currently use are from India and can penetrate the rock layer."

"…We have used the wellbore casing cement consolidation and double plug cement injection method in the oil field in California. This time we must use it. In addition, we transferred Ruben = Cartoon = Baker from the oil field in California, or used his casing patent to prevent the casing from being stuck."

"…The drill bit salvage technology, we use Frank = Derett's salvage company, we also have shares in it, there is no problem in technology, this is the leading salvage company in the United States."

"We still refer to the deep drilling technology of Zigong's self-fluid gas wells in 35 years. They are recognized as the originator of industrial drilling in the world. They are one thousand meters deep... We have already hit 1,100 meters deep in Borneo. This time our goal is 1,500 meters."

Zheng Yu put the information on the table and drank a sip of tea. He always felt something was wrong.

He knew about spindle-top oil field

Texas, even in the future, is still an important oil producer in the United States. The famous "Texas crude oil" is also one of the world's major crude oil price vanes.

In 1993, the mining of Texas was originally a well to get water, but the water was not released, but the oil was produced. The spindle-top oil field was the first high-yield oil field in Texas. It was discovered that it depends on Patilo Higgins' insistence. This one-armed man was a self-study mechanic and "geological engineer". In other words, he bought and read it himself. There were many people in the United States. In that era, he was purely accidental about the discovery of spindle-top oil field. Similar to the story recorded in "Dream Creek Bitan", one day he participated in an outing and found that there was a spring on the ground. The spring was gas. Later, he felt that there was an article inside. Then he inserted a tube into the ground and lit the gas with a match. From then on, he firmly believed that there was oil underground.

However, this pheasant brand geologist is the object of ridicule in the industry. An expert from the Texas Geological Society wrote an article in 898, warning everyone to "don't invest in Higgins' dreams" Shishishi

Higgins in despair wrote historical facts to oil merchants all over the world, which attracted one person's attention: Zheng Ying, the emperor of the Chinese Empire, the behind-the-scenes manipulator of the Royal Oil Company.

This middle school teacher in his previous life once had a joint stock trading with Xu Fan. He was impressed by the oil crisis from 2007 to 2008. He naturally knew that Texas's light oil was famous. After receiving this letter, he attached unprecedented importance to it and immediately sent a business representative to the United States to spindle ridge, buying Higgins and his whole spindle ridge.

At that time, the oil mining industry in the United States had already developed a specialized division of labor. The Hamil Brothers Company, which undertakes the spindle drilling business, later became the world's leading professional drilling company. When the drilling reached two hundred meters, the oil appeared. At that time, Higgins asked Hamil's "professional opinion". The other party's answer was at least fifty pokes a day.

On January 10, 1901, a blowout occurred in the oil well, first mud gushed, then the entire drill pipe was ejected from the ground, and it became taller and taller. Finally, the entire drilling tower broke, and the workers fled in scattered. They finally came back to clean up the situation. Hamil was ready to compensate for the losses. Unexpectedly, a roaring sound of cannons came soon, and then the green and viscous oil was sprayed out like a "giant fountain", which was dozens of meters high.

Higgins and the business representatives of Royal Oil Company rushed over in a car. As soon as they arrived, they were stunned by the terrifying scene. Then they were ecstatic, including Hamil, and everyone cheered in the sea of ​​oil.

And the real harvester is Zheng Ying

He owns the property rights of the entire spindle ling oil field

The discovery of high-yield oil wells in Texas shocked the entire American oil industry, and also opened up the direct confrontation between Royal Oil and Rockefeller family Standard Oil in the United States, and further promoted the development of Texas oil, Ohio oil, and Louisiana oil. A large amount of cheap oil further promoted the prosperity of the automobile industry.

Thinking of cars, thinking of domestic products, and then Zheng Yu understood what he felt strange

"Why are they all American companies?" He stared at Zhang Wenmao, "Is our own technology not good?"

"It can't be said that they are all Americans... We have bought the right to use the patent for the double-tooth drill. Besides, the oil companies all over the world purchase patents and use the right to use this thing, Baker is an employee of our company, and the salvage company is also our investment... In fact, it is basically ours." Zhang Wenmao was not very clear about Zheng Yu's intention and answered carefully, "The American oil industry is mainly based on professional division of labor. We also think that this is beneficial to the drilling team, but the professional level is poor.

"It doesn't matter if our own people are teaming up to participate, the effect is poor. The key is to participate." Zheng Yu shook his head, "You can't always rely on outsiders. Even if their skills are good, this technology is not ours after all. Don't be afraid of paying tuition... If it really doesn't work, you can invest and learn the technology... Oil is related to the lifeline of the country's strategic lifeline. How can you hand over the lifeline to others?"

Zhang Wenmao didn't agree with it too much. He really didn't think the United States would do that, but he still responded.

"Our team is going to be, and we can't be less than the American team," Zheng Yu frowned and asked again, "What are the problems with Deep Dian?"

"The biggest problem is transmission," Zhang Wenmao replied without hesitation. "Current drilling uses a steam engine or internal combustion engine to drive the turntable through a transmission device. The turntable clamps the drill rod column to rotate. The drill bit at the bottom of the drill rod is deeper and the longer the drill rod, the smaller the torque obtained by the drill bit. The drilling is more difficult... However, basically this problem is not fatal within two thousand meters. We can also solve this problem by improving technical technology and structural design to solve this problem. The metallurgical industry is already stepping up the development of materials..."

"Is there a way to install the power unit near the drill?" Zheng Yu's mind flashed with something, but he didn't have time to catch it, "such as miniaturization"

"This is too difficult. After all, the drill bit is not big and the drill pipe is limited. Even an internal combustion engine cannot be installed." Zhang Wenmao spread his hands, "Even if it is a car engine..."

"Car engine·supercharge..." Zheng Yu unconsciously lit the table, suddenly as if he was hit by lightning, and shouted suddenly, "Turbo-turbocharger"

Zhang Wenmao was shocked. He didn't know what the problem had this emperor who was usually very strict and was famous in the royal industry.

Zheng Yu was unconscious, so he quickly grabbed the paper and pen, and drew a schematic diagram.

"Wenmao, look at this." Zheng Yu stood up and handed over the picture, came to Zhang Wenmao again, patted the other person on the shoulder, "Look, this is something like an electric fan, but the fan blades are dozens of times denser. You use a water pump to drive the turbine to rotate and drive the drill bit to rotate. In this way, there is no need to consider the torque issue of force conduction..."

Zhang Wenmao was a little confused at first, but when he heard that his eyes were already shining, he never expected that the seemingly difficult problem was proposed by such a "outsider" in a few words.

Zheng Yu was also a little lucky at this time. In order to marry his girlfriend, he also wandered around major automobile websites and had a lot of knowledge about automotive power equipment such as "mechanical turbocharger". He knew some principles and just now he had an idea and solved a big problem by accident.

Of course he didn't know that this turbo drilling technology was developed in another space-time, or the principle developed by the Moscow Drilling Technology Research Institute in the 1930s was actually very simple, but the problem is that no one thought about this aspect of the car's turbocharger was still after the year of the monkey and horse month. It was impossible for a monster like Zheng Yu to think of drilling from a car turbomotor a hundred years later.

At this time, Zhang Wenmao looked at Zheng Yu again and looked at him with a look of a terrible look. Even Qiu Haiyang behind him was a little creepy, and he couldn't help but take a step forward.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty" Zhang Wenmao took Zheng Yu's hand a little out of control, with a faint madness on his face, "This is an invention that rewrites the history of world oil drilling."

Zheng Yu smiled: "Then you just implement it and don't forget to register the patent right, the inventor will write you, but the owner must be Royal Oil Company."

"How is this good..."

"I am not used to being at the limelight, especially those things." Zheng Yu took his hand back without hesitation and sat back in his seat. "You can do this matter like this and continue to talk about the arrangements below."

Only then did Zhang Wenmao realize that he was a little out of control. He smiled awkwardly, calmed down his excitement, and soon returned to his original reading: "In terms of prospecting, the gravity meter we initially developed can be applied, and the principle is similar to the twist scale invented by Hungarian physicists twenty-four years ago..."

"…At present, we plan to drill at least twelve surveying wells near Gaotaizi, Datong Town, with a depth of 1,500 meters to see if there is any oil sand layer..."

"There must be," Zheng Yu said firmly, "There is a large oil field in that place, and my father mentioned it very early..."

Of course Zheng Yu would not say that the location of Songji Well No. 3, the first oil well in Daqing Oilfield, was seen as the knowledge of supplementing oil when trading PetroChina stocks.

However, his understanding of Songji No. 3 well was only Gaotaizi, Datong Town. As for whether Gaotaizi is a terrain, township, or village, he didn't know anything about it.

In order to find this place, he specially asked Du Zhi to get a military map of one-50,000 in the Northeast War Zone. After finally, he roughly determined the location and immediately ordered the Royal Oil Company to prepare for the "Oil Battle"

In his impression, the depth of oil output in the first oil well in Daqing Oilfield should be more than 1,300 meters. According to normal inference, there should be an oil sand layer in roughly 1,200 meters.

After making up for basic knowledge of oil, he knew that the difficulty of drilling within 2,000 meters was not too big. The oil within the next generation was shallow oil. The key was to be reluctant to invest. However, now he was in a mistake and got an underground mud turbine drive technology, which made him look forward to it.

Zheng Yu's "oil battle" is of course targeted

He calculated his understanding of China's oil resources distribution. He knew about Shengli Oilfield in Dongying. He knew about oil in the South China Sea. He knew about oil in Karamay, Xinjiang. He knew about oil in Sakhalin Island. He also knew about oil reserves. Then there was Diaoyu Island. Central Asia, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, both are oil-producing countries. In addition to the Middle East, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iran and Iraq are also oil-producing countries. Then Venezuela has already made arrangements.

After all, it is the most cost-effective, with the highest input-output ratio and the best safety. It can also solve the problem in one fell swoop, especially if you know the relatively accurate location, Daqing Oilfield is the first to recommend.

The place itself is the hinterland of Heilongjiang, and now it has become the safest place in China. In addition, it is the Northeast, and it is the planned heavy industrial base. The surrounding land is fertile and along the railway line, with convenient transportation, large reserves, and mining is easy to be built in heaven.

Now, domestic oil production is actually insignificant to be precise.

Yumen Oilfield was promoted by Zheng Ying, but now it only produces 100,000 tons per year. It is naturally not a high-yield oilfield. When it reaches its peak in later generations, it only produces 600,000 tons per year. As for Yanchang Oilfield, it was originally considered the earliest oilfield in China in history for 1qc5 years. It was exploited in a local way, but now it only produces 100,000 tons per year.

To be honest, the input-output ratios in these places are actually very unprofitable. They are not comparable to those of Daqing, Shengli, and Central Plains, but the problem is that the depth of those high-yield oil fields in later generations is relatively deep, and it is not as easy as the former. In addition, the output of Borneo, California and Texas oil fields is already amazing enough. In addition, the crisis facing Northeast China, Zheng Ying and others have not invested much energy.

Now the national defense situation of the entire country has changed greatly, and the Northeast has become a hinterland, and Zheng Yu has also begun to make plans.

The reason for adopting the name of the Oil Battle is nothing more than that most of the people under Zheng Ying's royal industry came from the Royal Guards, and strict discipline and orders were the basic requirement. The most direct understanding of these soldiers is the military terms: general attacks, battles, etc. Zheng Yu was also happy to go with the flow, and gave such a very exciting name.

This time, there are two oil fields he is preparing to explore with all his strength:

The first is Daqing; the second is Sakhalin Island

Sakhalin Island was later called Sakhalin Island by the Russians, with an area of ​​76,400 square kilometers. It is located in the eastern part of the Heilongjiang estuary. It is known for its rich resources. This place was originally the place where Russians exiled political prisoners, and it is also called the "Prison Island". The residents are mainly Russians, and the indigenous people have almost been killed.

Now that China has recovered this place, the prisoners are naturally sent back to China. Zheng Yu has already planned that the entire Sakhalin Island will be used as a militarized control area to accommodate veterans' families and develop their fisheries and forest resources. The other key is oil extraction strategically. This place is the best barrier to protect the eastern Chinese territory in the direction of Northeast Asia, except Japan, and must not be lost.

In this era, Sakhalin Island was considered one of the areas with the most likely oil resources. Zheng Yu knew in his previous life that this place was known as the "oil sea". Just a few oil fields for bidding have passed Daqing and importantly, the difficulty of oil extraction is low.

Zhang Wenmao didn't feel anything strange

He is an old man in the royal industry for so many years, Zheng Ying often pointed out that there must be a certain mine in a certain area, and then everyone rushed down suspiciously. It was really a long time ago. He was not surprised by the deeds of such charlatans. In his opinion, this Zheng Yu was nothing more than his father's inheritance. But since the other party said that it was the late emperor "Zeng Yan", he couldn't bear it. It was the late emperor Zheng Ying's meaning.

Anyway, as long as that person says there must be, Zhang Wenmao naturally won't think too much

"Two years" Zheng Yu stretched out two fingers coldly, "I don't have much time for you... These two oil fields have a relationship with the empire's strategic layout. You should know that our current oil mainly comes from overseas..."

Zhang Wenmao's heart tightened

Two years

In fact, if he finds the right place, even if there are some technical problems, he is confident that he can make it anyway in a year.

But the key is that this old man and charlatan were like a charlatan, and he arranged the task for a year after poking on the map. He had to explore and drill wells. Can this ticket be used?

"Once the overseas transportation channel is cut off, it will be pinched to the throat. Our cars, planes, airships, and warships will not be driven," Zheng Yu said extremely seriously, "If these two oil fields are driven, even if they are forced to the worst step... we are not afraid of Wen Mao. What you have to do now is the first priority of the empire, do you understand?"
