Happy Tycoon

David Parker's construction speed and reputation are quite good. Early the next morning, Yang Jing and the others were on their way to Beaumont when David Parker called and told Lin Dan that the old oil well had been rebuilt. The well is opened.

However, David Parker also told Lin Dan that this old oil well was really worthless to open wells. After reopening the oil well, David Parker’s workers immediately measured the oil pressure, and the result was still for zero.

Oil pressure is the most important data among the several main data when the oil well is working, and it refers to the residual pressure of the oil flow from the bottom of the well to the wellhead. For a normal oil well, the higher the oil pressure, the higher the output of the well, and vice versa, the lower the production value of the oil well.

And such an old oil well with zero oil pressure has no exploitation value at all, and it is a pure waste of money after opening.

Although the current secondary oil recovery technology is very developed, the secondary oil recovery technology is not good for this old oil well whose oil pressure is still zero after the well has been shut down for more than 40 years and reopened.

To put it in an inappropriate way, although some old oil wells are old, they are still alive, and they can still produce oil after treatment. And this old oil well with a history of more than a hundred years is like a dead old man, no matter how you save it, it will not work

As a petroleum engineer, David Parker naturally has a good understanding of this kind of old oil well on land. He only needs a few important data to directly judge whether an old oil well that has been re-opened is worth continuing to exploit. come out.

Now, David Parker has pronounced the death sentence for this old oil well.

However, it doesn't matter to Yang Jing whether this old oil well can recover oil again. What he wants is not crude oil, but the natural gas contained in crude oil.

When he arrived in Beaumont, the workers who opened the well went home to rest. Stimulated by money, these seven or eight workers worked continuously for two days and two nights, and finally sealed the well for more than 40 years. Year-old oil wells reopened. Now, what they need is rest.

David Parker was waiting for Lin Dan and the others there. After all, Lin Dan was the boss in name.

After Yang Jing and the others arrived, David Parker took Lin Dan to talk. He wanted to explain the project situation to Lin Dan in the past few days. Of course, the most important thing was to ask for money.

Yang Jing, on the other hand, came to the mouth of the well alone, scratching his head when he looked at the oil pipe with a diameter of only four inches.

This old oil well is too old. According to the technology at that time, the oil pipes used were mostly four inches. Unlike the current oil wells, the thickness of the oil pipes is often seven inches or even eight inches. thicker.

Four inches is actually not that thick, that is, a little over one hundred millimeters, which is about the diameter of an apple.

How can such a thin pipe come into contact with the oil at the bottom of the well? Yang Jing was troubled by this.

No matter how awesome the holy ring is, it cannot absorb energy from a distance. The host must touch the relevant item with his own hands, so that the holy ring can absorb all kinds of precious energy contained in this item.

But now, the oil field containing a large amount of natural gas is separated from Yang Jing by a rock formation of more than 600 meters. The only thing in the middle that may allow Yang Jing to touch the crude oil more than 600 meters away is this ten centimeters in diameter. The tubing is gone.

After pondering for a while, Yang Jing strolled to the place where Lin Dan and David Parker were talking.

At this time, the two people had almost reached the conclusion, so Yang Jing asked David Parker directly: Mr. Parker, I wonder if the oil pipe of this oil well is completely connected?

David Parker nodded and said: That's the next thing I want to tell Mr. Lin. This old oil well has been shut down for too long. This time the well was opened because the drill bit was used, so although the well is completely open , but the oil pipes are damaged a lot. There is no way to do this. Who made the drill bit too powerful? And the cement that is blocked has been connected to the oil pipes for a long time, destroying the blockage. cement, the tubing will inevitably be damaged at the same time. So, if you insist on secondary oil recovery or even tertiary oil recovery, you still need to replace the entire tubing.”

Yang Jing and Lin Dan looked at each other. Now that Yang Jing came, Lin Dan naturally couldn't talk much. To be honest, Lin Dan still can't figure out why this brother Yang from China is interested in such an old oil well that has no development value at all.

However, at Laporte's warehouse auction yesterday, Lin Dan really saw the magic of Yang Jing, and he has been completely conquered by Yang Jing's magic, so now he is completely following Yang Jing's lead.

Yang Jing nodded and said, Mr. Parker, I want to test the physical indicators of the remaining heavy oil in the oil field below. I don't know how you can let me get the crude oil below?

David Parker said with a smile: It's simple. Now this old oil well has no oil pressure at all, so you can use a steel wire long enough to tie a lead pendant and a small container to the top of the steel wire, and then from the wellhead Run the steel wire in and you can get the crude oil at the bottom of the well.

Yang Jing thought for a while, then smiled and said: Thank you very much, Mr. Parker. Then, Yang Jing said to Lin Dan: How much money Mr. Parker spent here, you can transfer it to him directly. But Parker Sir, after my test, if the well is really undevelopable, we need you and your crew to re-seal the well.

David Parker said with a smile on his face: There is no problem at all. Closing the well is much faster, and only enough cement is needed to do this.

Yang Jing waved his hand and signaled Lin Dan to transfer the money to David Parker, while he walked towards the vehicle guarded by Chris and John, got into the vehicle and said to them, Come on, let's go to the city to buy some things.

There were thirteen priceless and famous paintings on the car, so the two bodyguards couldn't easily leave the car.

The three of them walked around the city and soon bought what Yang Jing needed, a roll of high-quality steel wire rope with a length of 1,500 meters and a diameter of 1.2 mm.

The weight of this kind of steel wire rope per 100 meters is only 0.75 kilograms, and the total weight of 1500 meters is more than 11 kilograms. And the tensile strength of this kind of wire rope is as high as 240 kg, that is to say, as long as the total weight of the wire rope plus the load does not exceed 240 kg, then this wire rope can be guaranteed to last.

In addition, Yang Jing also bought special brackets for holding wire ropes, and then returned to the old oil well with these things. Still let the two bodyguards watch the car, Yang Jing started to toss these things by himself.

After tossing for a long time, Yang Jing finally let out the steel wire rope with the lead pendant 1,300 meters, because the depth of this well exceeds 600 meters, and if one end of the steel wire is in the crude oil, the other is in the Crude oil is also stuck to the steel wire rope at the wellhead, so it is necessary to release the steel wire rope twice as deep as the well.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Yang Jing finally touched the crude oil at the bottom of the well through the retracted wire rope.

As expected, even relying on the crude oil on a very thin steel wire rope, Yang Jing could still feel the huge amount of natural treasure contained in the entire oil bubble at the bottom of the well.

Yang Jing began to absorb the natural aura of the facade without hesitation.

After tossing and tossing from China to the United States, auctioning old oil wells and opening wells, the toss and turns for so long have finally paid off.

The next moment, Yang Jing felt a slightly chilly breath rushing into his body in an instant, and was immediately swallowed by the holy ring.

The small holy ring may not seem big, but it seems to be the singularity of a black hole. No matter how many natural treasures there are, it seems that this bottomless pit cannot be filled.

The natural precious gas contained in crude oil is indeed very small, but it can't support the large base. At any rate, this old oil well used to be a high-yield oil well with a daily output of 10,000 tons, which means that at least several million tons or even tens of millions of tons of crude oil are stored in the oil bubble under this oil well.

Generally speaking, the exploitation of oil fields can be divided into three stages. The first stage is primary oil extraction, which refers to the initial stage of oil extraction in the world. People's oil extraction technology is not so developed, so they can only use the natural energy of oil Mining, also known as self-spraying.

Under the conditions at that time, when an oil well could not self-spray, it would be considered as exhausted, so this stage was later defined as primary oil recovery. This recovery rate is only about 10%.

Later, with the gradual development of technology, people began to realize that although oil wells no longer flow, oil wells can still continue to produce oil. As long as energy is added to the oil well, for example, 90% of the world's oil fields currently use the method of injecting water into the oil layer to increase the pressure in the well, and oil can still be produced in the oil well that does not spontaneously flow. This stage of supplementing energy into the oil layer for recovery is called secondary oil recovery.

The recovery rate of secondary oil recovery can reach 30%-35%, but there are still up to 70% of crude oil left in the ground.

Later, when this kind of water flooding reached the economic limit, for example, the comprehensive water content of Huaxia's Daqing Oilfield had reached 98%. If the water flooding development method was continued, the high refining costs would not be able to make ends meet! Therefore, on this basis, people began to use various physical and chemical methods to further exploit the remaining oil after water flooding to enhance oil recovery. This stage is also generally considered to be the stage of tertiary oil recovery.

This old oil well was built in the 1910s, and with the technology at that time, at most it had achieved secondary recovery. Moreover, before the 1950s, even if secondary extraction was carried out, the extracted crude oil only accounted for about 20% of the entire oil field.

In other words, the oil bubbles below this old oil well contain at least about 80% of heavy oil.

With such a large amount, even if the natural precious gas contained in one ton of crude oil can only increase the natural precious gas pool by five thousandths, but tens of millions of tons of crude oil are placed there for you to absorb as much as you want, and if you have exhausted all of them, then The quantity is also incredible!

Sure enough, what made Yang Jing painful and happy was that after the forced absorption in the middle of the night, the originally aerosol-like natural treasure gas gathering pool finally broke through the critical point and officially turned into a liquefied state. Like the pool of humanistic treasures next to it, it has become liquefied.

The painful thing is that in order to absorb these natural treasures, Yang Jing stood by the well for a full ten hours. Whether it was Lin Dan or Chris, they all came to him because they were worried, so that Yang Jing didn't know what reason to use to prevaricate.

However, because the two bodyguards and Lin Dan saw Yang Jing's magic at Laporte's storage auction, so Yang Jing stood in front of the wellhead of this old oil well in the middle of the night so abruptly, and they were worried at most. As for Yang Jing's safety issue, as for the others, they didn't have any other ideas.

This boss is amazing, and amazing people are bound to do amazing things, aren't they?

When Yang Jing felt that he could no longer absorb the natural treasure from the oil bubble below, he let go of his hand happily. Then, regardless of the oil stains on both hands, he sat down on the ground.

After standing for more than ten hours, Yang Jing's two legs were almost numb. If I had known that it would take such a long time to absorb the natural treasure this time, it would be better to sit on that stool, or simply move a bed to lie down.

No matter whether it is absorbing natural treasure energy or humanistic treasure energy, once it starts to absorb, Yang Jing, the host, can't move other parts of his body except his mouth can move and speak.

It's just that in the past, no matter whether it absorbed natural treasure or humanistic treasure, the absorption speed was very fast, and the absorption was completed almost instantly, so Yang Jing never knew about it. Absorbing natural treasure gas is different this time, the natural treasure gas contained in the crude oil itself is very little, and the amount of crude oil that needs to be absorbed is too much, which led to the situation that Yang Jing took ten hours to absorb it. .

However, no matter how hard it is, the effort is definitely worth it.

Among other things, the natural treasure gas gathering pool that has become liquid is enough to be worth any effort. It's just standing for ten hours, so what?

However, Yang Jing was a little disappointed that the natural treasure gas pool evolved from a gaseous state to a liquid state, but the holy ring did not open another skill for free like last time.

However, because the pool of natural treasure qi has evolved into a liquid state, the gap between natural treasure qi and human treasure qi is already very small, which is enough to freely activate any skill.

And Yang Jing also had a pleasant surprise, that is, with the qualitative change in the natural treasure gas gathering pool, he was able to feel all the conditions in the Youpaozi below.

Perhaps it was because he had absorbed a lot of the natural precious gas contained in the crude oil in the oil bubbles below, Yang Jing was able to see the situation in the oil bubbles below very clearly at this time, and what pleased Yang Jing most was that the originally viscous and Those heavy oils with asphalt, after being completely absorbed by the holy ring, began to change slowly—the density of those heavy oils actually began to decrease.
