"I declare that China's first trial production of natural gas hydrate in the sea is successful!" The minister's voice spread through the radio waves to all directions, rippled over the land of the motherland, and let the world hear this powerful voice full of Chinese people's self-confidence.
The successful trial mining of combustible ice in the Shenhu Sea Area has made my country the world's leading country in mastering the trial mining technology of submarine natural gas hydrate, which is a milestone in promoting my country's energy security and optimizing its energy structure.
The people on the Blue Whale cheered and felt extremely honored to be able to participate in something of such great significance.
After announcing the success of the trial harvest, everyone was immersed in joy.
In the consultation room, Sun Wentong, the commander-in-chief of the trial mining, members of the trial mining headquarters, Feng Chenyi, the coordinator of the Blue Whale, and the heads of various key systems gathered together. On the big screen in front of them, there was a message from the China Geological Survey.
leaders and experts.
In order to implement the spirit of the instructions in the congratulatory message on promoting the industrialization process of natural gas hydrate exploration and mining, the China Geological Survey decided to adjust the trial mining construction plan and extend the original trial mining time from a short seven days to 60 days in order to obtain more
More comprehensive trial mining data will further verify trial mining technical solutions and environmental safety prevention and control plans, and accumulate more experience for future industrialization.
The current problem is that the Blue Whale has been deployed in the Shenhu waters for more than half a month since the beginning of March. According to the scheduled itinerary, the Blue Whale needs to return. If the trial mining time is extended, various supplies, personnel deployment and other work will have to be postponed.
Needs to be reallocated.
The current trial production wells are also determined based on the original one-week trial production time. Although there are no quality problems, subsequent work also needs to be carefully arranged to ensure that the sixty-day trial production progresses steadily and no problems occur.
In addition, the various sensors arranged on the seabed also require continuous maintenance and data collection.
After careful discussion and analysis, Sun Wentong still gave great confidence in the continuous mining ability of the test well. As for the Blue Whale, Feng Chenyi felt that there was no problem. The Blue Whale itself already has global navigation capabilities.
, although there may be a slight shortage in material reserves, this problem is very easy to solve. Supply ships will come regularly to replenish all the needed materials.
As for personnel issues, in addition to necessary positions, personnel in other positions can be rotated.
Although two months of life at sea is not long, it is not short either. Especially on this "isolated island" surrounded by the vast sea. Although all kinds of service facilities are complete, the psychological gap is still very disappointing.
Some people can't accept it for a while.
The meeting finally decided that the combustible ice test wells in the Shenhu Sea Area can continue to mine, fully verify the mining technology and measures to deal with various dangerous situations, and accumulate experience as much as possible for future industrial production.
After the meeting, since the technicians and workers on the Blue Whale came from different units, their needs were also different, especially the various problems caused by the extension of the date, which needed to be comprehensively resolved.
Feng Chenyi and Lin Jiayou also took on the ideological interpretation and personnel arrangement issues for the workers and technicians of the Blue Whale.
Fortunately, the workers on the Blue Whale have become accustomed to the wandering life at sea. Although this extension is a bit sudden, this is a national project and it has just received such an honor. No one will give up at this time.
Chain, everyone agreed to continue fighting at sea to ensure that the Blue Whale can successfully complete the entire project.
After some explanations, everyone expressed their understanding and support for the project extension. After all, this trial mining work will leave a mark in the history of China's energy development.
In Lin Jiayou's words, this is definitely something that can be talked about to his children and grandchildren in the future, and it is something worth being proud of for a lifetime.
Except for a small number of researchers with urgent follow-up tasks who cannot stay on the Blue Whale for such a long time, most people agree with the Geological Survey's decision.
Subsequently, Sun Wentong immediately asked the logistics department to conduct a comprehensive statistics on the supply situation of the Blue Whale, and then calculated the required material requirements. Especially with so many people on board for a long time, all kinds of materials need to be replenished.
Those experts who needed to leave the Blue Whale returned to land on helicopters that came to transport important data materials.
Feng Chen stood on the corridor and watched the helicopter slowly leave the Blue Whale and then fly quickly towards the landing direction. There was still a little bit of hope in his heart.
"Gong Feng, this is our demand list!" Lin Jiayou brought over several demand lists for various supplies. In addition to some personal supplies, there are also a lot of equipment and machinery.
These are all used to repair various vulnerable parts on the Blue Whale. Although some of these parts were prepared before departure, at that time, we did not consider that we could stay at sea for such a long time. This was to maximize the safety of the parts.
To ensure the stability of Blue Whale's production and life, these accessories must be guaranteed.
Through communication with the leadership of Fuhai Group, Feng Chenyi also received an updated message, that is, with the help of the Blue Whale's long-term work at sea, he tried his best to collect the operating conditions of the Blue Whale and found that some of them could be optimized.
processing part to accumulate experience for designing and building better drilling platforms in the future.
The reason why those internationally renowned design companies are able to design so many excellent offshore equipment is because of the experience accumulated in long-term design and production. They know which things must be strengthened, which parts need to be optimized and designed, and which other parts need to be optimized.
There needs to be a humane approach and safety needs to be ensured there.
All of this cannot be clearly told to you in the drawings, but you need to figure it out slowly by yourself.
This time is also a good opportunity to allow the Blue Whale to work at sea for a longer period of time, thus exposing some problems that cannot be found on ordinary days and creating conditions for later modification and optimization.
Feng Chenyi took the demand form to Sun Wentong to sign, and waited for the supplies to be ready before the next supply ship departed, so that the use on the ship would not be delayed.
"Commander in chief, these are some special needs of the Blue Whale. Take a look, there are some that need to be customized in advance!" Feng Chenyi marked some special supplies in red.
"Okay, I saw it, and I will send it to the Geological Survey immediately! The supply ship usually comes every twenty days. If you can't make it this time, can you wait until the next time?" Sun Wentong said about mechanical things.
Not good at it.
"No problem, the Blue Whale has corresponding spare parts. This demand is just in case. If the spare parts are used, we will have no inventory!"
"That's good, you're prepared! The Blue Whale is our foundation. Once something goes wrong, the mission will be in danger!"
