Oil production unit is also known as pumping unit, at present, most of the major oil fields in China are old products with low efficiency, and only a few oil wells use advanced models purchased from abroad.

Xiao Dingbang has worked in the oilfield for many years, and he has long been familiar with various types of oil production units. Although he was very reluctant, he had to admit that in the field of oil extractors, foreigners do better than Chinese, and the good ones are not half a star.

Take Halliburton, a world-renowned energy equipment supplier, for example, the 051 oil extractor they manufactured surpassed similar domestic products in terms of performance, and its comprehensive strength was more than doubled.

If you want to measure the performance of an oil production machine, you mainly look at two aspects, one is the efficiency of oil production, and the other is the energy consumption.

Oil recovery efficiency is well understood, and refers to how much crude oil can be extracted from the ground per unit of time. As for energy consumption, it refers to the amount of electrical energy consumed by the equipment when it is running.

The oil extractor is operated by an electric drive motor, and the unit of measurement of energy consumption is "ton of electricity consumption", that is, the amount of electricity required for each ton of oil produced.

The crude oil produced by the domestically produced oil extractor is about 3.5 tons per day, and the power consumption per ton exceeds 60 kilowatt-hours.

Halliburton's Type 051 oil extractor is much superior, this model can produce five tons of crude oil per day, but the electricity consumption is only about 35 percent of that of domestic oil extractors.

When the Halliburton oil extractor had just been installed in the Jiangbei Oilfield, Xiao Dingbang also participated in the test work. He was extremely shocked by such performance parameters, and it was at that time that Xiao Dingbang personally realized how backward China is in the field of oil production machines.

At this moment, looking at the double donkey-head oil extractor designed by Niu Xiaoqiang swinging up and down, Xiao Dingbang couldn't help but have such an idea: Can this new oil extractor designed by Niu Xiaoqiang surpass Halliburton's similar products?

When Niu Xiaoqiang came to Jiangbei Oilfield to develop an oil production unit before, he showed shocking strength, which convinced Xiao Dingbang. But to say that the oil extractor designed by Niu Xiaoqiang can surpass Halliburton, Xiao Dingbang is still very bottomless in his heart.

In these years, anyone who is well-informed knows how huge the gap between domestic technology and foreign technology is. It is no exaggeration to say that China's technological backwardness is comprehensive, and there is a big gap between China and developed countries in almost all aspects. The oil extractor industry is just a microcosm, but it's a microcosm of universality – a frustrating universality. Especially people like Xiao Dingbang, who have experienced it firsthand, feel this very strongly.

He sighed secretly in his heart: no matter how powerful Niu Xiaoqiang is, he is only powerful in China, and it is estimated that it is not enough to see it abroad, the most important thing is that he has never set foot in the field of oil extractors, even if he is a genius, in the absence of technology accumulation, I am afraid that it will be difficult to catch up with energy equipment supply giants like Halliburton all at once.

The testing process is very boring, and all the technicians only need to do one thing, and that is to monitor the data.

There were nearly 30 people at the scene, and even if three people were dispatched to each testing post, there were still surplus manpower.

In this case, Song Zhiyi and Xiao Dingbang don't need to go into battle in person, they just need to listen to the data reports of each monitoring point on the sidelines.

Although the oil field is a very wealthy unit, the working environment is relatively simple, and some of the working conditions can even be described as harsh.

Just like the oil extraction workers on the front line, they need to monitor the operation of the oil production unit, once the oil production unit fails, they must deal with it as soon as possible, and they need to jump into the black crude oil liquid to eliminate hidden dangers.

In order to conduct the test, Xiao Dingbang specially prepared tables, chairs and benches, in addition to several tents for resting. Such treatment is not available to ordinary oil extraction workers.

Since they didn't need to go into battle in person, Song Zhiyi and Xiao Dingbang, the two leaders, simply sat at the table drinking tea and chatting.

The common topic between the two is naturally inseparable from the oil extractor, only to hear Song Zhiyi ask: "Xiao Gong, how many oil extractors do you have in Jiangbei Oilfield?"

"About 1,200 units. ”

"According to this number, isn't the annual output of crude oil in Jiangbei Oilfield tens of millions of tons?"

"If all the oil production units can run stably, of course there is no problem in achieving this output, but this is the ideal state, it is difficult to achieve under normal circumstances, and there will always be problems with some oil production machines. ”

"Oh, where do you get your oil extractors from?"

"There are two main purchasers, one is the domestic Jinnan Petrochemical Machinery General Plant, and the other is the foreign Halliburton Company. ”

"Do you still buy from abroad?

"The performance of foreign oil extractors is very superior, more than twice as strong as domestic products, in order to complete the production task, of course, we need to purchase superior performance of oil extractors, as for the price, foreign oil extractors are more than three times more expensive than domestic ones. ”

Song Zhiyi sighed: "In this way, Halliburton's oil extractor is not very outstanding in terms of cost performance compared with China." ”

Xiao Dingbang shook his head: " According to my experience, Halliburton's oil extractor has a probability of failure is only ten percent of the domestic oil extractor, and the service life is also greatly extended, generally speaking, the domestic oil extractor can only be used for two years at most, and many accessories must be replaced to ensure this service life, Halliburton's oil extractor can easily be used for more than three years, and there is no need to replace too many accessories, compared with the two, the gap in cost performance is not too big。 ”

Song Zhiyi nodded solemnly and sighed: "It's still a foreign technology cow, we are too far behind others." ”

Xiao Dingbang put forward a different view on this: " It can't be said that in the field of oil extractors, our technology is not so bad, the main difference is in the material and motor, the material is the main factor affecting the service life of the oil extractor, the oil extractor is operating in the open air in the field, the working environment is relatively harsh, not only to withstand the wind and rain, but also to withstand the test of heat and cold, but also need to withstand the corrosion of crude oil, if the material is not good, the service life will naturally be greatly shortened, the domestic oil extractor in this aspect of the gap is obvious, the main reason is that our country is relatively backward in terms of material science, there is no good material, of course, can not make a strong and durable product。 ”
