What’s the point of drilling tens of meters more?

Jackson was an expert, and at this time, Dongfang No. 5's actions seemed to him to be nothing more than a difficult struggle before death.

Halliburton is transcendent. Whether it is Oriental Petroleum developing the Sedan oil field or other oil companies, they can get oil field service orders.

However, Halliburton also needs to consider its relationship with Oriental Petroleum, especially since both parties have huge common interests in the Baku oil field.

Therefore, Jackson is inclined to see Dongfang Oil succeed.

He came here hoping to help.

Seeing this situation, Jackson said, "Mr. Yao, would you like to bring our platform back? I can talk to the headquarters and integrate the remaining services for exploration in offshore waters."

Oriental Petroleum does not have the drilling capabilities in far-deep waters, so it purchased services in this area from Halliburton, which is responsible for drilling exploration in far-deep waters.

Yao Yuan was very grateful for Jackson's statement and said, "Thank you Halliburton for your support, but you should complete the remaining exploration work in accordance with the contract. I hope you succeed."

Jackson nodded without forcing himself, turned around and sat down on the chair behind him to wait for the last moment.

Ruiz said unceremoniously, "Mr. Yao, maybe you should consider suggestions from Exxon Mobil and Shell."

"Is this the opinion of His Highness Khalifa?" Yao Yuan asked.

Ruiz shook his head, "No, it is the recommendation given by the UAE Ministry of Petroleum to Oriental Petroleum based on the current situation. It is not limited to the above two companies, but both financial and technical strength must be increased to ensure that production can be achieved within the specified time.

Oil."

In the mid-1990s, there were signs of an increase in international oil prices. This was in line with the current situation of the UAE, which sold more oil. However, if oil prices continue to run at a high level, it is something the UAE does not want to see, because it will force the replacement of new energy sources.

Development of technology.

Having enough recoverable reserves in hand has become an important means of influencing international oil prices.

If the oil price is too high, production will increase; if the oil price is too low, production will be reduced. This is the only way for Middle East oil-producing countries to participate in international politics and exert their influence.

Facing Ruiz's official statement, Yao Yuan said in a deep voice, "There are still a few hours until dawn. Mr. Minister, I will give you a satisfactory answer."

"With only a few hours, will there be a miracle?" Ruiz was no longer confident.

Yao Yuan raised his chin, pointed at the oil workers who had been working on the work deck for more than ten hours, and proudly said, "We are good at creating miracles."

As soon as he finished speaking, as if he was waiting for him to say this, Lin Wei's voice came from the intercom: "Ayuan! The oil is out! The oil is out on No. 1!"

Then I heard crazy cheers coming from the intercom.

The Dongfang-1 drilling rig platform, which has been in service for more than ten years, suddenly experienced a big upset.

The bridge control center of Dongfang No. 5 was deathly quiet, and everyone was dumbfounded. After a long ordeal, although everyone said nothing, they were increasingly losing hope for oil production. At this time, suddenly, Dongfang No. 1 transmitted

Here comes the good news, but everyone will not be able to accept it for a while.

Ruiz frowned and asked, "Mr. Yao?"

Yao Yuan suddenly came to his senses and said, "The oil is coming out, the Dongfang No. 1 is coming out of the oil."

He didn't have time to worry about Ruiz and asked quickly, "Lin Wei! Log the well quickly! Find out the production quickly!"

"It's being done, it's being done! It's already being done! Hahaha, the oil is finally coming out! What's coming out is a self-blowout well!" Lin Wei yelled crazily.

Qin Zhenjun stood up suddenly, "Ayuan, I'm going to platform No. 1!"

"Okay, okay!" Yao Yuan agreed quickly.

The Dongfang No. 1 drilling platform suddenly became the focus of attention. Qin Zhenjun took several technical backbones and rushed there on a speedboat.

At this point, it no longer matters whether the other platforms can drill out oil.

Jackson realized something and walked over, "Mr. Yao, is there oil? What kind of well is it?"

"Yes, the No. 1 platform is producing oil, and our chief engineer has rushed there. There will be news soon!" Yao Yuan's joy was undisguised.

At this time, the huge stone that was weighing on his heart was slowly let go, the oil was pumped out, and all the problems in front of him would be solved!

Ruiz smiled and gave Yao Yuan a big hug, "Mr. Yao, congratulations!"

"Mr. Minister, congratulations, this is the result of our joint efforts." Yao Yuan laughed.

Su Jianmin actually wiped away tears. All the pressure that had been accumulated for half a year was released with tears at this moment. He deeply realized the charm of oil exploration. It is this charm that everything is possible until the last moment that makes countless people continue to work.

.

The Occidental Petroleum representatives in the lounge were startled by the cheers and came out one after another.

"What happened?" Connell said, rubbing his eyes.

Hans frowned and listened, "It sounded like cheering, maybe there was oil."

Everyone rushed to the bridge control center. Except for the drilling team on the operation deck, which continued to drill, everyone on the platform was cheering.

After asking, I found out that it was the Dongfang No. 1 drilling platform that drilled a self-effluent well.

Hans was stunned and said, "I remember it was an old platform, and the drilling depth was only 1,500 meters."

"Yes." Jackson said proudly, "It's the product we sold to Oriental Petroleum."

He said nothing about Oriental Petroleum's improvements to it.

"I didn't expect that the No. 1 platform would produce oil." Frank shook his head slowly. It was basically certain that Shell had no chance.

Once the first well is found, it is only a matter of time before the second well is found.

The most important thing is that Dongfang Petroleum will no longer have financial problems. The oil that continuously spurts out from the seabed is the most stable cash flow.

Everyone congratulated Yao Yuan one after another. Although the specific production rate has not been released yet, since it is a self-blowout well, the production rate will not be low. It is a high-yield well.

Yao Yuan expressed his thanks one by one and said, "If you are interested, after the production of Well No. 1 is released, I will arrange a commuter boat to take you to Platform No. 1 for a visit."

"Mr. Yao, I must go and witness the miracle." Jackson was very happy. Halliburton could continue to get orders to develop the Sedan Oilfield from Dongfang Petroleum.

Hans was not without regrets and did not hesitate to praise, saying, "Mr. Yao, ExxonMobil looks forward to cooperating with Dongfang Petroleum. I must emphasize that ExxonMobil has always hoped that Dongfang Petroleum can successfully complete the development of the Sedan Oilfield. Of course,

I also want to go to Platform No. 1 to witness the miracle of Dongfang Petroleum."

Frank secretly cursed a villain and quickly expressed his position, "In terms of relationship, our Shell Company is the first company to cooperate with China. Mr. Yao, are you from Guangdong Province? We have just built an oil refinery in Guangdong Province. I

I believe there will be more cooperation opportunities between Shell and Dongfang Petroleum in the near future, right?"

He held Yao Yuan's hand and shook it heavily.

Just a few hours ago, these people wanted to push Dongfang Petroleum into the abyss and take over the subsequent development of Sedan Oilfield. Now, the smiles on their faces are more sincere than the others, and they all hope that Dongfang Petroleum will get better and better.

Yao Yuan looked at the changed faces of the Western Petroleum executives and said, "Dongfang Petroleum adheres to a win-win management approach. Whether it is Shell or Mobil, or Total and BP, I believe there will be opportunities in the future.

In cooperation with Dongfang Petroleum."

Everyone has heard that whether there is any opportunity for cooperation depends on Dongfang Petroleum. The initiative lies with Dongfang Petroleum.

Just a few hours ago, in the eyes of people like them, Oriental Petroleum was still a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

They are all oil companies, and these oil companies are much larger than Oriental Petroleum and have better recoverable reserves. Why should they be so down to Oriental Petroleum?

In the final analysis, it is the word "profit".

For the sake of profit, Western oil companies do not hesitate to challenge war. They have no bottom line.

Yao Yuan walked towards Ruiz, hugged him, and said sincerely, "Mr. Minister, I am very grateful for your highness's support..."

Before he finished speaking, the platform suddenly shook violently!

Everyone in the bridge control center was shocked and fell to the floor, and then the entire platform shook violently.

At this time, Qin Zhenjun, who had sailed two nautical miles on the speedboat, heard a loud noise and subconsciously looked towards the Dongfang No. 5 drilling platform and saw a scene he would never forget.

Huge mud spurted out and overturned the drilling frame. Under the light, the entire platform was shrouded in falling mud. The entire platform swayed helplessly on the sea. The shaking was visible to the naked eye, as if there was a huge force stirring it.

Touching the water below the sea surface.

In the dark seabed, it was as if a sleeping dragon had been awakened. It turned over slightly and caused turbulent waves...

Immediately, Qin Zhenjun clearly felt that the speedboat was lifted up by a wave, and then the sea surface dropped obviously.

It's an undersea earthquake!

"Turn around! Turn around! Turn around quickly!" Qin Zhenjun no longer paid attention to the well logging on the No. 1 platform, loudly ordered the helmsman, picked up the intercom and called the shore base, "There has been a serious blowout accident on the No. 5 platform! All ships come to the rescue! All the ships at the base

The entire rescue team comes to rescue!”

"Mr. Qin, we have a helicopter rescue team!" the assistant reminded.

Qin Zhenjun quickly picked up the satellite phone and called the helicopter rescue team directly. They were at the helicopter landing station at the base. "There has been a serious blowout accident on platform No. 5! Rescue first! Hurry!"

Rescue and disaster prevention plan launched.

At this time, in the bridge control center of the Oriental No. 5 drilling platform, representatives of Occidental Petroleum Company had earth-colored faces. They watched a flow of mud with a diameter of more than two meters spurting out from the wellhead, rushing away from the drilling frame and rushing onto the tens of meters.

It flew into the air, and then fell rapidly, and the large and small stones it carried hit the platform with a heart-stopping sound.

Yao Yuan got up, and he only said one sentence: "Everyone, follow me to save people!"

He took the lead and rushed out of the bridge control center. Su Jianmin had a cut on his forehead and rushed out after Yao Yuan without even thinking. In the bridge control center, except for the personnel in key positions, all Dongfang Petroleum people rushed out.

Got out.

The platform is shaking.

Yao Yuan rushed to the work deck and helped up a worker who was rushed to the railing by the shock wave. He found it was Gu Peiqiang, his face was covered with blood.

"Cement the well! Cement the well!" Gu Peiqiang roared heartbreakingly.

Yao Yuan hugged him and shouted, "Captain Gu! Quickly organize people to evacuate the platform! Evacuate the platform!"

In such a serious blowout accident, cementing is impossible and the platform may not be saved. The top priority is to quickly evacuate the platform to reduce casualties!

Gu Peiqiang wiped the blood off his face and remained surprisingly calm. "The most dangerous time has passed. The well must be cemented, otherwise the previous efforts will be in vain! Mr. Yao! This is a super-productive well! Trust me!"

"Cement the well! Cement the well quickly!" He shouted loudly, broke away from Yao Yuan and rushed over.

Fist-sized rocks kept falling down. Su Jianmin rushed over with a helmet and put it on Yao Yuan, "Mr. Yao! Evacuate quickly!"
Chapter completed!
