Chapter 214
What words to use to describe their misfortune?

Terrible, misfortunes never come singly?
Such an unforgivable technical situation occurred less than two days after the two oil wells were officially put into production.

Platform No. [-] is barely able to attribute the responsibility to irresistible circumstances, so what about No. [-]?
The oil control valve piled up with money, unexpectedly has a loose connection that only a low-quality toy manufacturer will have?

Tonight; destined to be a sleepless night!
All the people on the seven drilling platforms got up from their sleep. The deep-sea divers and technicians passed the trestle connecting the platforms, landed on the helicopter platform above, and flew to the two oil wells where the accident occurred.

At [-] pm local time, inside the Takeda Building in Shinjuku, Tokyo.

No matter how low the standard is, Ota Soro is a typical example of "extreme joy begets sorrow".

Originally, he was still looking forward to the future beautifully, imagining that he could rely on these seven oil wells to make a lot of money, but he didn't expect that two of the seven oil wells had just produced 100 million barrels of oil.

If the No. [-] oil well does not go well, it will also face huge fines for environmental pollution.

Thinking of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico on May 2010, 5, Kotaro Ota couldn't help feeling chills in his heart.That accident directly caused economic losses in the hundreds of billions of dollars, and even BP paid tens of billions of dollars in compensation for it.

"What's the situation of the No. [-] oil well now!" Sitting in the middle of the office, Ota Kotoro kept fighting against the refrigerator.

"The leak is 27 centimeters long and 25 centimeters wide, and the downhole pressure is [-] atmospheres. Five divers are trying to fix the leak with polyethylene buckles. According to the data analysis, there should be no risk of failure. Plugging After closing the leak, it is expected that the broken cable will be connected the next morning, and then the oil control valve will be completely closed.” A [-]-year-old young man sat by the computer and said cautiously.

"Currently, the output of crude oil is about [-] barrels. Except for a small amount of crude oil spilled from the isolation zone, most of them have been successfully contained in the isolation zone. Now three nearby oil spill recovery ships are working there. Oil removal There is an adequate supply of detergent and oil-absorbing blankets, and the oil stains can be completely cleaned up in about three days."

"Hmm..." Souro Ota let out a heavy breath: "Where is the No. [-] oil well? I want to understand why the oil control valve is loose. Don't fool me with quality problems. The oil control valve is not a water tap. After a lot of testing, it is impossible to loosen for no reason."

"The most likely reason is that the changes in the underground rock strata caused the misalignment of the oil control valve and the pipeline, which caused the shell of the oil control valve to loosen." Although this staff member is young, he has a solid academic background. When it comes to familiar issues, Just go on and on.

"According to the data sent back by the downhole detector at that time, there was no abnormality in the seabed at the bottom, but this does not rule out that it has never moved. The seabed is composed of hard sandstone and clastic limestone. The composite turbidite layer. This structure seems to be extremely stable and can fully alleviate the shocks caused by plate movement. It will not collapse suddenly and break like hard rock layers. But this does not mean that there are no defects. It is easily affected by the bottom air pressure. When the pressure of the crude oil belt changes as the crude oil comes out, it will also produce a slight subsidence change. This change is very slow, and as the internal layers are balanced, it stops moving .”

"However, it is this kind of slight and slow change that makes it easy for the instrument to fail to detect it. After a long time, the oil control valve at the wellhead will be slightly displaced, and there will be an angle deviation with the drilling platform above. The pipeline is very long and very resilient, which means The forces in it have no effect on it at all, but not the oil control valve, it doesn't have any toughness."

"Damn it, didn't the shock pipes and the filling of condensable materials have already been done when the well was drilled?" Souro Ota slapped the table vigorously: "Notify the company to prepare relevant equipment to arrive there to seal the wellhead, and then replace the oil control valve. "

After speaking, he scratched his hair painfully.No. [-] oil well needs to replace the pipeline, and No. [-] oil well needs to replace the oil control valve, which will delay at least a week or more.

Even if the other five oil wells were running at full capacity, they would not be able to produce enough crude oil for delivery.

You must know that he has more than one contract, and the weekly production is fully scheduled.

This matter is the same as underground coal mining, which is a high-risk industry.Either there will be no major problems until the wellhead is dried up, or the wellhead will have to be permanently closed if a serious problem occurs.

The only thing we can do is to pray that God will not be so cruel. No matter how artificially prevent it, there is no way to eliminate hidden dangers.

But God is so cruel sometimes, and it is cruel to be inhuman...

The office was quiet, except for the sound of the staff member typing on the keyboard, there was nothing else.Kourou Ota, who had calmed down a little, squinted his eyes and took a puff of his cigarette.

Pain is useless, so it is better to be open to everything, isn't it just that the two oil wells are temporarily lying down?At that time, the Japanese side will delay it for a few days, and only the customer who signed the contract will provide it first, so as to see if the compensation can be reduced.

"Dinglingling~dinglingring~" A burst of cheerful phone ringing interrupted his thoughts.

Well No. [-] must have plugged the leak!

Kotaro Ota threw away the half-burned cigarette butt, and then connected the phone.

He is very confident in his perception ability, and once that illusory feeling comes, he will almost never go wrong.It was because of this strong perception that he climbed to such a high position at a young age.

"Mr. Ota, the loophole in our No. [-] oil well has been successfully blocked, and the effect of the buckle is very good, and there is no trace of crude oil leakage!" Sure enough; an ecstatic shout came from the phone.

"Nice job!" Ota Soro couldn't help waving his fist: "Try to connect the broken cable as quickly as possible, so that we can lift the oil production pipeline for repair work."

"Hi!"

After hanging up the phone, he was in a much better mood, and turned his attention to the young employee on the left, planning to encourage him a few words and go to solve the dinner problem by himself.

"Huh?" Ota Kourou was taken aback by the ashen expression on his face and the dull eyes staring straight at him.

"Old...old...boss, the No. [-] drilling platform sent a report, saying...that they encountered the same problem as...the No. [-] platform, the oil control valve...the outer cover of the valve was soaked in water, and the electronic components inside were... short-circuited... ..."

This sentence directly made Ota Kourou feel refreshed from Tianling cover to toenail cover, and his soul felt a little like a fairy.
