Deep-sea oil and gas development generally uses semi-submersible deepwater drilling platforms. As an important platform for mankind to conquer the sea, it integrates countless advanced technologies and is known as a pearl in the field of offshore engineering equipment.
This is not unfamiliar to Zhang Yujie. With its strong construction capabilities, the shipyards affiliated to Fuhai Group have built dozens of various drilling platforms for internationally renowned drilling platform companies, including many ultra-large deepwater drilling platforms.
.
Zhang Yujie got the news from other channels. Many foreign companies are waiting for the opportunity to seize China's flammable ice exploration and development project. Although the investment of hundreds of millions of dollars has discouraged many companies, there are still many famous offshore companies.
Industrial equipment companies firmly put forward their own plans.
These multinational companies with strong power are operating their own design plans in multiple ways. Everyone knows that once they can seize the opportunity, they will be able to occupy a place in this vast market, and they have proposed various favorable conditions.
Zhang Yujie knew that he had to speed up, otherwise the country's energy lifeline would once again fall into the hands of others.
Zhang Yujie immediately mobilized all his staff and worked overtime to collect various data and materials to study the most cutting-edge flammable ice development technology and how to use existing resources to integrate it. Everyone also understood that even though there were countless fresh and advanced ideas, they could not
It is impossible to mine combustible ice beyond ideal capabilities.
The technicians went through almost all the information they could find about flammable ice and locked in on the requirements bit by bit.
A feasibility plan for developing equipment for combustible ice slowly took shape.
While Zhang Yujie was working intensively on the feasibility plan, Lu Zhengtao, who had been paying attention to the matter, received some bad news.
Since the country cannot provide combustible ice development equipment, the combustible ice exploration and development proposed at the forum may use foreign equipment. This news made Lu Zhengtao anxious.
Whether in terms of technical strength or international reputation, Fuhai Group is no match for those multinational companies. Once this opportunity is taken away by them, Fuhai Group may really lose everything.
Lu Zhengtao immediately called Zhang Yujie: "General Manager Zhang, when will your report be available?"
"Director Lu, we are rushing to build it, but there are too many materials needed, so it may take a while! And I still have the construction plans for three platforms!" Zhang Yujie was also very busy at this time, and gave a wry smile as he was worried.
.
Lu Zhengtao knew that Zhang Yujie not only had this combustible ice development plan, but also various other group's offshore engineering equipment construction plans, and almost all the burdens were on him.
"Let's do this. During this time, you can temporarily hand over other tasks to Vice President Yan. He is also a technical person. It's okay to help you for a while. You can concentrate on making the plan for flammable ice first. I just got the news.
Some foreign companies have already begun to submit plans. If we fall behind, this opportunity will most likely be taken away!" Lu Zhengtao said worriedly.
"Director Lu, don't worry, I will do it in the near future even if I fight for my life. Our reputation as a desperate man is not just a boast!" Zhang Yujie immediately expressed his determination.
Lu Zhengtao knew that Zhang Yujie got this title when he was young. At that time, Fuhai was still a small local shipyard, and the jobs he got were all that other big manufacturers looked down upon, in order to get high value-added orders.
, Zhang Yujie once slept for less than ten hours for five days and five nights, and worked hard to create a construction plan, which gave Fuhai a new opportunity for development.
Seeing Zhang Yujie talking about the title of "Desperate Saburo", he quickly gave a few words, "You must pay attention to your body, the body is the capital of revolution!"
Zhang Yujie on the other end laughed a few times and hung up the phone.
Just like this, another week passed, and Lu Zhengtao's office door knocked, and Zhang Yujie, with his hair as messy as a bird's nest, walked in quickly.
"Director Lu, this is the feasibility plan that has just been produced. Please review it!" Zhang Yujie placed the plan in front of Lu Zhengtao.
Lu Zhengtao looked at Zhang Yujie with bloodshot eyes and shook his head slightly. This guy is really working hard!
"I told you to take care of yourself!" Lu Zhengtao pointed to the chair in front of him, "Sit down and tell me!"
Zhang Yujie was not polite and sat directly in front of Lu Zhengtao. He was really tired during this period.
Although he overcame various difficulties and finally came up with a feasible plan, he was still a little uneasy. In his opinion, this plan had too many problems that needed to be solved.
He has made many plans before, but this time he felt extremely cautious. After all, this was an investment worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
"Director Lu, based on the demand for the future development of marine engineering equipment due to the exploration and development of combustible ice, as well as the protection of my country's energy rights and interests in the future, I suggest that we independently design and build the seventh-generation semi-submersible deepwater drilling platform!"
"This suggestion is very good, what is the difficulty?" Lu Zhengtao knew what Zhang Yujie wanted to say.
"Everything is difficult at the beginning! The building is built from the ground, and the design drawings are the key!" Zhang Yujie smiled bitterly, "We used to build offshore drilling platforms based on the customer's drawings. Although we learned a lot from them, we have also learned a lot from them.
We have just completed some process designs. It will be very difficult to complete the independent design this time, and if we want to achieve the ability to mine deep-sea combustible ice, the scale may exceed all the projects we have built before!"
"Ah? More than our previous projects?" Although Lu Zhengtao had some predictions in his heart, he was still very surprised, "How big is it?"
"If the construction is completed, the platform will probably exceed 40,000 tons!" Zhang Yujie was also shocked after completing the calculation.
"So big?" Lu Zhengtao was also shocked by this number. You must know that Haiyang Shiyou 981 is only just over 30,000 tons. This time, there is an extra 10,000-ton drilling platform. You can imagine how difficult it is.
How high.
"Yes! Only with such a size can it be possible to meet the extreme needs of combustible ice exploration and mining!" This is one of the difficulties in the development of combustible ice.
"Forty thousand tons, this is probably the largest semi-submersible deepwater drilling platform in the world, right?" Lu Zhengtao held a signature pen in his hand and tapped the report thoughtfully.
"Yes! Judging from the current data, I'm afraid it's the biggest!"
Being able to complete the world's first project is an honor for any offshore worker.
"Well, if you want to do it, be the best in the world, otherwise we won't have to spend so much energy to do this!" Lu Zhengtao had a determined look on his face.
For Zhang Yujie, being number one in the world means heavier responsibilities and responsibilities, and it also means that a behemoth will be born from his own hands.
"Director Lu, if that's the case, what do you think the name of this project would be?" Since it is completely designed and manufactured by myself, the name must be powerful and domineering.
Lu Zhengtao thought for a while and said: "What we have built is the world's largest semi-submersible deepwater drilling platform, so let's call it the Blue Whale!"
As the largest existing animal in the world, the blue whale can dive into the deep sea and move freely, which is exactly in line with the characteristics of this "Big Mac". The use of this name also means that the behemoth that is about to be born will be
With extremely strong strength, it can step into the most advanced ranks in the world, and it also represents the highest technical ability of mankind for deep sea development.
