Chapter 213 Pain and happiness

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

However, David Parker also told Lin Dan that this old oil well was really worthless. After opening the well again, David Parker's workers immediately measured the oil pressure, but the result was still zero.

Oil pressure is the most important data of several major data during oil well operation, referring to the residual pressure of oil flow from the bottom of the well to the wellhead. In a normal mining oil well, the greater the oil pressure, the higher the output of this well. Otherwise, it means that the oil well is the lower the mining value.

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

Although the secondary oil production technology is now very developed, the secondary oil production technology is not good for this old oil well, which has been sealed for more than 40 years and has been reopened.

To give a somewhat inappropriate description, some old oil wells are old, but they still have a breath, and can still collect oil from treatment. This old oil well, which has been around for more than a hundred years, is like a dead old man. No matter how you save it, it will be useless...

As an oil engineer, David Parker naturally has a very good understanding of this kind of land-based old oil well. Whether an old oil well that reopens the well has value in continuing to be mined is only needed by a few important data to directly judge.

Now, David Parker has declared the death penalty to this old oil well.

However, it is not important for Yang Jing whether this old oil well can produce oil again. What he wants is not crude oil, but the natural treasure contained in the crude oil.

When he arrived in Beaumont, the workers who opened the well went home to rest. Stimulated by money, the seven or eight workers walked around for two days and two nights, and finally opened the old oil well that had been sealed for more than 40 years. Now, what they need is rest.

David Parker was waiting for Lin Dan and the others there, after all, Lin Dan was the nominal boss.

After Yang Jing and the others arrived, David Parker pulled Lin Dan and spoke. He wanted to explain the project situation to Lin Dan over the past few days. Of course, the most important thing is to ask for money.

Yang Jing came to the wellhead alone, looking at the oil pipe with a diameter of only four inches, he was also a little scratching his head.

This old oil well is too old. According to the technology at that time, most of the oil pipes used are four inches. Unlike today's oil wells, the oil pipes are often seven inches or even eight inches inches in thickness, and some are even thicker.

Four inches are actually not too thick, just over a hundred millimeters, which is about the same diameter as an apple.

"How can you contact the oil at the bottom of the well through such a thin tube?" Yang Jing was this headache for him.

No matter how great the holy ring is, it cannot absorb energy from the air. He, the host, must contact the relevant items with his own hands, so that the holy ring can absorb the various treasure qi contained in this item.

Now, the oil field containing a large amount of natural treasure gas is facing Yang Jing through a rock formation of about 600 meters. The only possibility that Yang Jing can contact crude oil more than 600 meters away is this oil pipe with a diameter of about 10 centimeters.

After thinking for a while, Yang Jing reached the place where Lin Dan and David Parker talked.

At this time, what the two of them said was almost the same, so Yang Jing asked David Parker directly: "Mr. Parker, I wonder if the oil pipes in this well are completely penetrated?"

David Parker nodded and said, "This is exactly the next thing I want to tell Mr. Lin. This old oil well has been sealed for too long. This time, because the drill bit was used to open the well, although the shaft was completely opened, the oil pipe was damaged. There is no way to do this. Who made the drill bit too powerful? Moreover, the sealed cement has been connected with the oil pipe for too long. If the sealed cement has been destroyed, the oil pipe will inevitably be destroyed at the same time. Therefore, if you insist on secondary oil production or even third oil production, you still need to replace the entire oil pipe."

Yang Jing and Lin Dan looked at each other. Since Yang Jing came over, Lin Dan naturally couldn't speak much. To be honest, Lin Dan still couldn't figure out why Brother Yang, who came from China, was interested in such an old oil well that had no development value at all.

However, at the Laporte warehouse auction yesterday, Lin Dan truly witnessed Yang Jing's magic, and he was completely conquered by Yang Jing's magicality, so now he is completely following Yang Jing's horse.

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 wonder if you can get the crude oil below?"

David Parker laughed and said, "This is simple. Now this old oil well has no oil pressure at all, so you can use a wire that is long enough, tie a lead sinker and a small container to the top of the wire, and then put the wire in from the wellhead, and you can get the crude oil at the bottom of the well."

Yang Jing thought about it and said with a smile: "Thank you very much, Mr. Parker." Then, Yang Jing said to Lin Dan: "How much has Mr. Parker spent? You can transfer it to him later. But Mr. Parker, after I tested it, if this well is really not worth developing, we need you and your workers to seal the well again."

David Parker smiled and said, "This is absolutely fine. The sealing of 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. He walked towards the vehicle guarding Chris and John, got in the car and said to both of them: "Let's go, let's go to the city to buy something."

There are thirteen famous paintings on the car, so these two bodyguards cannot leave the car easily.

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

The weight of this steel wire rope per 100 meters is only 0.75 kg, and the total weight of 1,500 meters is more than 11 kg. The tensile strength of this steel wire rope is as high as 240 kg, that is, as long as the total weight of the steel wire rope plus the load does not exceed 240 kg, then this steel wire rope can be guaranteed to be constantly.

In addition, Yang Jing also purchased a bracket specially placed with wire ropes, and then took these things back to the old oil well. He still asked the two bodyguards to see the car, and Yang Jing started to toss these things by himself.

After struggling for more than a long time, Yang Jing released the wire rope with a lead sinker of 1,300 meters, because the depth of the well in this well was more than 600 meters. If one end of the steel wire was in crude oil and the other was glued to the wire rope at the wellhead section, then a wire rope twice as deep as that of the well was required to release it.

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

As expected, even if it was just relying on the crude oil stained on an extremely 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 treasure energy of the facade without hesitation.

From the domestic to the United States, we have auctioned old oil wells and opened them. After so much trouble, we have finally gained rewards.

The next moment, Yang Jing felt a slight chilling aura that instantly poured into his body, and was immediately swallowed by the holy ring.

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

There is indeed very little natural treasure gas contained in crude oil, but it cannot withstand the base. This old oil well was once 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 is stored in the oil bubbles below this oil well.

The mining of oil fields can generally be divided into three stages. The first stage is oil recovery, which refers to the initial stage when oil extraction is just beginning in the world. People's oil recovery technology is not so developed, so they can only use the natural energy of oil for mining, which is the so-called self-spraying.

Under the conditions at that time, when an oil well could not spray itself, it would be considered that the oil well was exhausted. Therefore, this stage was later defined as a single oil recovery. This recovery rate was only about 10%.

Later, with the gradual development of technology, people began to realize that although oil wells no longer spray themselves, oil wells can still continue to produce oil. As long as energy is supplemented into the oil wells, for example, 90% of oil fields in the world currently use the method of injecting water into the oil layer to increase the pressure in the wells, oil can still be produced in oil wells that do not spray itself. This stage of replenishing energy into the oil layer and performing mining is called secondary oil production.

The recovery rate of secondary oil recovery can reach 30%-35%, but as high as about 70% of crude oil remains underground.

Later, when this water flooding and mining reached the economic limit, for example, the comprehensive water content of Daqing Oilfield in China has reached 98%. If water injection and development continue to be adopted, the high refining cost will not be enough! Therefore, on this basis, people began to use various physical and chemical methods to further mine the remaining oil after the water flooding to improve the crude oil recovery rate. This stage is also widely regarded as the third oil recovery stage.

This old oil well was built in the 1910s. In terms of technology at that time, it was at most secondary mining. Moreover, before the 1950s, even if secondary mining was carried out, the crude oil extracted 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 quantity, even if the natural treasure gas contained in one ton of crude oil can only increase the natural treasure gas convergence pool by 5% of the time, tens of millions of tons of crude oil are placed there for you to absorb it to your heart's content. After all, the quantity is amazing!

Sure enough, what made Yang Jing feel pain and joyful was that after the forced absorption in the middle of the night, the natural treasure gas convergence pool, which was originally aerosol, finally broke through the critical point and officially became a liquefied state. Like the human treasure gas convergence pool next to him, it became a liquefied state.

The pain was that in order to absorb these natural treasures, Yang Jing stood by the well for ten hours. In the middle, both Lin Dan and Chris came to him because of concern, which made Yang Jing not know what reason to use to make excuses.

However, because the two bodyguards and Lin Dan both saw Yang Jing's magic at the Laporte warehouse auction, Yang Jing stood in front of the wellhead of this old oil well so suddenly in the middle of the night. At most, they were worried about Yang Jing's safety. As for the others, they had no other ideas.

This boss is so amazing. A magical person will inevitably do something magical, isn't it?

When Yang Jing felt that he could no longer absorb natural treasures from the oil bubbles below, he happily let go of his hands. Then, regardless of the oiliness in both hands, he sat on the ground.

After standing for more than ten hours, Yang Jing almost lost consciousness on both legs. If he had known that it would take so long to absorb natural treasures this time, it would be better to sit on the stool or simply move a bed to lie down.

Whether it is absorbing natural treasure qi or human treasure qi, once it starts to absorb, Yang Jing, the host, cannot move except for the mouth that can be kinetic and speak, other parts of his body...

However, in the past, whether it absorbs natural treasure gas or human treasure gas, the absorption speed was very fast, and it was almost completed in an instant, so Yang Jing never knew about this. This time, it was different to absorb natural treasure gas. The natural treasure gas contained in crude oil itself was very small, and the amount of crude oil needed to be absorbed was too much, which led to the fact that Yang Jing had absorbed it for ten hours.

However, no matter how hard it is, this kind of effort is absolutely worth it.

Not to mention anything else, the natural treasure gas convergence pool that has become liquid is enough to be worth any effort. What is it just for a few hours to stand?

However, what disappointed Yang Jing a little was that the natural treasure gas convergence pool evolved from gas to liquid, but the Holy Ring did not open another skill for free like the last time.

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

And Yang Jing also had a surprise gain, that is, with the qualitative changes in the natural treasure qi convergence pool, he could actually feel all the situations in the oil bubble below.
