David Parker's construction speed and credibility were quite good. Early the next morning, when Yang Jing and his team were on their 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 no longer worth opening. After reopening the well, David Parker's workers immediately measured the oil pressure, and the result was still zero.
Oil pressure is the most important data among the major data when an oil well is working. It refers to the residual pressure of oil flowing from the bottom of the well to the wellhead. For a normally exploited oil well, the higher the oil pressure, the higher the output of the well. Conversely, the lower the exploitation value of the oil well.
Old oil wells like this one with zero oil pressure have no mining value at all, and it would be a pure waste of money to open them.
Although the current secondary oil recovery technology is very advanced, it is not effective for old oil wells that have been sealed for more than 40 years and the oil pressure is still zero after reopening.
To make a somewhat inappropriate description, some old oil wells are still alive despite their age, and can still produce oil after some treatment. But this century-old oil well is like a dead old man, and no matter how you try to save him, it will be useless...
As a petroleum engineer, David Parker is naturally very familiar with these old oil wells on land. He only needs a few important data to directly judge whether an old oil well is still worth continuing to exploit after being reopened.
Now, David Parker has pronounced the death penalty on this old oil well.
However, whether this old oil well can produce oil again is not important to Yang Jing at all. What he wants is not the crude oil, but the natural treasure contained in the crude oil.
When he arrived at Beaumont, the workers who were drilling the well had all gone home to rest. Inspired by the money, these seven or eight workers worked non-stop for two days and two nights and finally reopened the old oil well that had been sealed for more than 40 years. Now, what they needed was a rest.
David Parker was waiting there for Lin Dan and the others. After all, Lin Dan was the nominal boss.
After Yang Jing and the others arrived, David Parker took Lin Dan aside to talk. He wanted to explain to Lin Dan the progress of the project over the past few days. Of course, the most important thing was to ask for money.
Yang Jing came to the wellhead alone and was a little confused when he saw the oil pipe which was only four inches in diameter.
This old oil well is very old. With the technology at that time, the oil pipes used were mostly four inches. Unlike today's oil wells, the thickness of the oil pipes is often seven inches or even eight inches, and some are even thicker.
Four inches is actually not that thick, just over 100 millimeters, about the same diameter as an apple.
"How can we reach the oil at the bottom of the well through such a thin pipe?" This is what is worrying Yang Jing.
No matter how powerful the holy ring is, it cannot absorb energy from a distance. The host must personally touch the relevant object before the holy ring can absorb the various precious energies contained in the object.
And now, the oil field containing a large amount of natural treasures is just across from Yang Jing from the rock layer of about 600 meters. The only way for Yang Jing to come into contact with the crude oil more than 600 meters away is this oil pipeline with a diameter of about ten centimeters.
Yang Jing thought for a while and then strolled to where Lin Dan and David Parker were talking.
At this time, the two people had almost finished talking, so Yang Jing asked David Parker directly: "Mr. Parker, I wonder if the oil pipeline of this oil well is completely connected?"
David Parker nodded and said, "That's exactly what I want to talk to Mr. Lin about next. This old oil well has been sealed for too long. This time, a drill was used to open the well, so although the well is completely open, many oil pipes are damaged. There is nothing we can do about it. The drill is too powerful. In addition, the cement used to seal the well has long been connected to the oil pipe. If the cement is damaged, the oil pipe will inevitably be damaged at the same time. Therefore, if you insist on secondary or even tertiary oil recovery, you will also need to replace the entire oil pipe."
Yang Jing and Lin Dan looked at each other. Since Yang Jing came over, Lin Dan naturally didn't say much. To be honest, Lin Dan still couldn't figure out why this brother Yang from China would be interested in such an old oil well that had no development value at all.
However, at the warehouse auction in Laporte yesterday, Lin Dan truly witnessed the magic of Yang Jing, and he was completely conquered by Yang Jing's magic, so now he completely follows 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. Do you have any way to help me get the crude oil below?"
David Parker smiled and said, "This is easy. This old oil well has no oil pressure at all, so you can use a long enough steel wire, tie a lead weight and a small container to the top of the steel wire, and then pass the steel wire through the wellhead, and you can get the crude oil at the bottom of the well."
Yang Jing thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Thank you very much, Mr. Parker." Then Yang Jing said to Lin Dan, "You can transfer the money spent by Mr. Parker to him later. But Mr. Parker, after my test, if this oil well is really worthless, we still need you and your workers to seal the well again."
David Parker smiled and said, "That's absolutely no problem. It will be much quicker to seal the well. We just need enough cement to do it."
