Now Ding Lin feels that he must have found the wrong place before. If he continues to mess with it, there will be no effect, so he can only change the place.
After arriving at the drilling construction site, Ding Lin saw that the construction workers were carrying out earthwork last night, and some people were carrying various equipment, especially various large-scale mechanical equipment including steam engines, which were being hauled and transported by manpower and horses.
He walked over and found a middle-aged man in charge of the construction: "Wang Ze, how deep is it now?"
Wang Zedao, who is in charge of the construction: "We are now in the stage of manual digging of the well, which is currently only 20 meters long!"
Because the local terrain is full of gravel, if they use machines to drill directly from the beginning, the construction workers are worried about damaging the equipment and even causing problems such as unstable foundations, so they chose to dig manually first, and then dig into the red soil layer before drilling.
Machine drilling, otherwise there would not be hundreds of ordinary young men.
In fact, this manual digging method can be regarded as a traditional method of oil extraction. In the past, most people directly dug wells manually. Even now, the Royal Petroleum Company has discovered oil in some places where oil is already produced.
Oil springs in China also use this method to extract oil on a small scale. Some oil springs can produce hundreds of kilograms per day.
However, the oil production of these surface oil springs is very small and cannot meet the needs of large-scale commercial development.
What they want is not an annual output of a few tons or dozens of tons. What they want is to accurately find oil reservoirs rich in large amounts of oil and then exploit them on a large scale.
The output that Royal Petroleum Company needs is tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of tons a year, not just tens of tons or hundreds of tons a year!
Otherwise, they would not have invested such a huge amount of money.
After careful questioning, Ding Lin did not interfere with the work of the construction workers, but went to the tent to rest. He planned to stay here and wait until the red soil layer was dug out to start installing equipment and mechanical drilling.
In today's era where various mechanical equipment cannot be used on a large scale, the speed of earthmoving operations depends entirely on how much manpower is invested.
Royal Petroleum Company is not short of money, but it is short of oil. In addition, the company's top management is eager to produce oil, so the investment is very large.
Today, there are more than two hundred people working on this construction site. Except for a small number of technical backbones, most of them are laborers hired from the local area. Some of them transport equipment from distant cities, while others
Mainly performs earthmoving operations.
In the tent at the scene, Ding Lin was not idle either, he continued to think.
This is the third well. If the oil reservoir cannot be found, things will become difficult.
There must be oil here, and the production is more than other places where oil has been discovered. This is an established conclusion. There are many professional surveying technicians in the advance team. Based on the existing oil springs and terrain in the area, they have passed
The conclusion drawn after detailed calculations should not be wrong. The only questions are how much oil reserves there are and how deep the oil layers are.
Based on inference, they judged that the oil layer should be about 100 meters underground!
However, the previous two wells were also drilled to a depth of 100 meters, but no oil layer was still found.
This made Ding Lin wonder whether the oil layer was deeper.
After having lunch at the site, Ding Lin arrived at the construction site again.
The current construction site is actually a deep pit, surrounded by wooden boards, wooden piles, etc. to prevent sand and gravel from falling and hurting people, in order to speed up the construction.
Wang Ze, who was in charge of the construction, said at this time: "The current depth is already 23 meters. It is estimated that we will soon be able to reach the laterite layer and use machines to drill the well!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, there was suddenly a shout from underground.
Listen carefully, you can only hear someone shouting below: "Oil! Is there oil?"
Is the oil out? Upon hearing this, Ding Lin and Wang Ze stepped forward directly, first bringing the person up, and then asking questions.
The workers who dug the well said that they had seen oil appearing in the soil below. Although it was not much, it was still quite a lot.
After hearing this, Ding Lin said directly: "I'll go down and take a look!"
When Ding Lin went down, he saw dark oil seeping out from the soil, but the amount was not large.
After coming up, he said: "There is oil in this place for sure, but if you want to find the oil layer, you have to continue drilling. Get your people ready and use the machine!"
After hearing this, Wang Ze also said: "I'll make preparations right now!"
Although oil has been discovered so far, it is only at the level of an oil spring, which is far from the standards they need.
But if you continue to drill down, you will still have a high probability of finding oil reservoirs. At that time, large-scale oil production will begin.
The construction site quickly became busy, and Ding Lin did not leave. Instead, he continued to stay at the site, even eating, drinking, and sleeping.
Royal Petroleum Company has a lot of money. In order to develop oil fields, it has transferred a large number of equipment, and many of them are specially customized equipment and are expensive.
With these expensive equipment, the drilling platform can be set up relatively quickly, and the drilling speed is also relatively fast. If everything goes well, it can even drill several meters down in one day.
But even so, it will take a long time to drill to a depth of 100 meters.
So after watching the scene for a few days, Ding Lin went to inspect the No. 4 drilling well.
In order to speed up the discovery of oil, Royal Petroleum Company actually started drilling several wells here not one after another, but at the same time.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people and such a fast speed.
The No. 4 drilling well also started earthwork work very early, but the progress is not that fast. However, in a few days, the No. 4 drilling well should be able to enter the progress of erecting mechanical equipment.
As time passed day by day, the chaos outside did not affect the development progress of Suzhou Oilfield at all.
Two months later, Well No. 3 was drilled, and the drilling workers were operating the machines as usual.
Now the person in charge of this drilling is no longer Wang Ze, the senior management, but one of his subordinate technicians, a very young boy named Song Sangou, who is only twenty-three years old and has just graduated from the Department of Geology of South China University.
However, although he is young and is only a junior in the survey team, this is because there are too many talented people in the survey team. Otherwise, he, a serious college student, would be considered a figure.
But in other places, people who belong to the middle and upper class are now wearing work clothes like ordinary workers, and they are tanned, and they don't look like college students at all.
At this moment, he was bragging to his subordinates.
"I think back then, I was considered the number one person in school. When I went to the small green building on weekdays, my classmates wouldn't be able to enter many of the oiran's small buildings without me!"
Several subordinates and a group of workers looked at him with suspicion.
I really doubt that Song Sangou’s rough-and-tumble appearance can please the ladies!
Seeing everyone's suspicious looks, Song Sangou felt unhappy!
"Why, you don't believe it!"
But at this time, a person monitoring the machine next to him suddenly shouted: "There's something going on! Mr. Song, please come over and take a look."
"What's going on? Did the drill hit a rock?" Song Sangou hurried over and said at the same time: "Stop first, don't damage the machine!"
The drilling machinery is very expensive, and more importantly, it is too difficult to transport machinery and equipment in this remote place. If it breaks, it will be troublesome to repair it.
After walking quickly, Song Sangou looked at the various hands on the monitor, and then his expression changed.
He has never seen this situation before, but he has heard about it and imagined it many times!
This is where the oil layer has been found, and oil is about to come out!
Immediately he shouted: "The oil is coming out, hurry up, follow the plan No. 1!"
When everyone heard this, they dared to pause. Everyone was busy operating according to the predetermined plan.
An hour later, Professor Ding Lin and Wang Ze, who had received the news nearby, also rushed to Well No. 3. What they saw at this time was the situation after preliminary processing.
Oil is being continuously injected through pipelines into a huge cement oil storage pool next to it.
Professor Ding Lin made some calculations in his mind, and then said: "This well may be able to produce more than ten tons a day! We have found the oil layer!"
"We found it!"
"Finally found!"
"Get rich!"
The last sentence was the cheers of the workers!
Because Royal Petroleum Company has an incentive plan for these workers, that is, if the responsible driller can find the oil layer, he will receive a generous bonus.
"Finally the explanation is given!"
It was Professor Ding Lin who said this!
As the chief engineer of the survey team, he is under the greatest pressure. Although the Royal Petroleum Company has not said anything, but how can I put it, since it has taken a large amount of other people's test equipment and spent so much money on it, if you find someone
If he doesn't get the oil reservoir, his academic reputation may be ruined.

Now it's finally done, the oil layer has been found!
In this case, not only is all the pressure gone, but he can also enjoy the title of the number one person in the oil industry with peace of mind.
Drilling the first oil well was something that had never happened before.
After everyone cheered for a long time, Professor Ding Lin, Wang Ze and others also discussed and continued to drill several other wells according to the current plan. The oil layer discovered so far is not too deep, only about 115 meters.
.
As long as we continue to operate according to the current method at a suitable location, we will definitely be able to drill more oil wells.
While the construction site continued to be busy, the news was quickly reported to the rear. First it was known to Suzhou, and then it followed the railway all the way to Jinling City.
When the Royal Petroleum Company headquarters in Jinling City also learned of the news, they decided on the spot to immediately increase investment and build a series of supporting facilities such as oil pipelines, oil storage warehouses, and refineries in Suzhou.
Especially the refinery. Based on the detailed survey data ahead, they plan to build a refinery with a refining capacity of 100,000 tons.
