The method was proposed by Feng Chenyi, and as a coordinator, he became the person in charge of the Zhuge Liang meeting, comprehensively summarizing the various ideas and opinions put forward by everyone.
Zhuge Liang will once again show amazing results. The trial mining headquarters explained the current situation in detail, allowing everyone to express their opinions. As long as they think it is feasible, they can propose to the headquarters.
Although the people on the Blue Whale came from different units and systems, they even studied different majors, and some even couldn't tell the difference between the types of rock formations.
However, it could not stop everyone from having a heated discussion. What was feasible, what was not feasible, and those wild ideas all came into being. After everyone's summary, they were placed on the desk of the headquarters.
Seeing so many ideas in front of him, Sun Wentong was immediately stunned. He did not expect that everyone was so enthusiastic. Although many of their ideas could not be implemented, they also gave experts and scholars a lot of inspiration.
Especially those extraordinary ideas. In Feng Chenyi's words, we need to put them into practice. These ideas have surpassed the technology of the people on earth and belong to the Zentraedi people. We probably need to ask Optimus Prime to come and help.
All joking aside, some technicians have proposed some very rigorous methods to solve the current problems encountered in drilling, especially regarding the selection of cementing fluid. Everyone has proposed some ratios very seriously.
Feng Chenyi summarized all the results of Zhuge Liang's meeting into categories and submitted them to the trial mining headquarters for reference and verification by experts and scholars.
Among them, everyone is very interested in the method proposed by the drilling team.
Due to the current situation of soft geology in the target area for drilling, they proposed to temporarily harden the seabed area so that it can support the installation of risers and blowout preventers. After drilling, the wells should be solidified in sections to ensure as much as possible.
Integrate the drilling well with the surrounding rock formations to avoid blowouts.
Of course, the most important thing is the proportion of cementing fluid, which is also the main factor in whether the drilling can be closely connected with the rock formation.
The water depth of more than one thousand meters is also considered ultra-deep water drilling in international oil and gas development. Water pressure, ocean currents and its own geological conditions all restrict the display of material properties.
The most important thing now is to extract core samples from the target area, and all the burden falls on the drilling team.
Originally, the drilling team was the most difficult and tiring of all the positions on the Blue Whale. Now, having to lift and replace drill bits again is equivalent to adding another workload, which is a big test for the drilling team.
After receiving the order from the headquarters, the drilling team began the work of lifting the drill. Finally, the drill pipe that had just penetrated into the seabed had to be recovered again. Although they were helpless, everyone still worked hard to pull the connected drill pipe from the rat hole.
Retract the drill floor bit by bit, then quickly disassemble it and place it neatly in the drill pipe storage area along the catwalk.
There are nearly a hundred drill pipes of more than 1,000 meters, and almost all members of the drilling team are on duty, ready to take over from tired workers to ensure that the entire drilling process is fast and orderly.
In the South China Sea in March, although the sun is not as fierce as in summer, the clear sky still allows strong ultraviolet rays to shine on the team members, bringing a different kind of "enjoyment".
One by one, two by three, the drill pipes were raised from the seabed little by little. Feng Chen, who was standing on the deck, looked at the drilling team. He had no better way, although the Blue Whale's drilling system had been improved and reduced a lot.
The workload can be completed in such a short period of time, which also makes this experienced team very busy.
After calculating the working efficiency of the drilling team, Feng Chen turned around and returned to the consultation room. Sun Wentong was negotiating with experts to select sample collection points in the seafloor target area.
“Since the supporting rock layer in this area is relatively thin, only more than 100 meters, no matter what the depth of our sample collection is, it cannot be too close to our scheduled test well point, but it cannot be too far, otherwise it will be difficult.
Understand the real situation of the test well locations!" Sun Wentong had a huge seabed topographic map in front of him. This was collected by geological surveyors over the years and is currently the most detailed topographic map.
"I think the conditions here, here, and here are more suitable!" Professor Huang drew a few circles with a pencil on the map.
Sun Wentong stared at these locations and nodded slightly, then turned to Lu Jiaxiang, who was also staring at the map, "What do you think, Researcher Lu?"
Lu Jiaxiang watched the sermon for a while and said, "These points selected by Professor Huang are all good. I feel that this and this can be closer!"
Lu Jiaxiang moved two of the points, and then rummaged through the geological data of this place. "The rock formations in these two places are relatively stronger, and they can be closer to the trial mining point!"
Professor Huang nodded in agreement, "This is good, we can better understand the surrounding geological conditions, the commander-in-chief can let everyone take a look, Xiao Feng is right, brainstorm and try to summarize everyone's ideas!
"
The geological conditions are just there. The geological experts on the Blue Whale are all experts. Naturally, they can see the mystery of these sampling points at a glance. The rest is to draw the precise point coordinates and each sampling point.
The number of samples required.
In the consultation room, experts are nervously calculating; on the drill floor, workers are sweating like rain while lifting the drill pipe; in the main control room, operators are also closely observing the status of various systems of the Blue Whale.
On land more than 300 kilometers away, the Geological Survey also received news. The leaders were also anxious about this situation. In the capital thousands of kilometers away, leaders of relevant ministries and commissions and even higher-level heads were closely monitoring the situation.
Pay attention to the situation at sea.
The coordinates of the sampling point had just been calculated when a confidential correspondent quickly ran into the consultation room.
"Commander-in-Chief, the superior leader sent a message!"
Although in this era of extremely abundant information and communication methods, this kind of text communication is still very necessary, especially in such a particularly major engineering project.
"A serious and rigorous scientific attitude is the guarantee for all victory. I hope that comrades can carry out the natural gas hydrate trial production project smoothly in a scientific attitude. In the face of science, time is not the most important thing. Please do not have any worries.
Think about the pressure, concentrate your energy, and solve all problems encountered in a scientific way!"
Sun Wentong finished reading the message sent by his superiors. Everyone understood that this meant that everyone must not be anxious, not play sick, and be down-to-earth and not leave any hidden dangers.
"The superior leaders have approved us to conduct sampling first and revise the trial production plan to ensure the safety of the trial production well to the greatest extent!"
