Chapter 1314: Drilling Begins

The efficiency of the Chinese fire brigade shocked Germany very much, of course, but also more cheerful, no one will be with the money, in the third year of the European war, the German top clearly understood that to persevere, manpower and national strength are only a part, there must be money.

Money can be channeled, this sentence is not false at all, to be precise, it is wealth, under the premise that the mark was rejected by China and can only come up with real money and goods to exchange, the previous Germany can only come up with some basic minerals and export to the outside world, the acquisition of Baku, for Germany, is very important, it took almost a year of preparation, and the army is brave, this is the fruit of victory.

When 10 oil wells burned, every day a huge amount of oil was burned, could have extracted 30,000 tons of oil, but burned in vain, it is a lie to say that it is not distressing, but now, the oil well fire was extinguished by the Chinese, after harvesting 10 oil wells, as long as after a week or so of equipment installation, it can be re-erupted, so that the German top management is happy, they desperately hope that it will be put into use as soon as possible.

At this juncture, the Chinese proposed to use their equipment, which had already been transported to Istanbul by sea, and could be shipped over as long as the German side agreed, and the installation was completed as quickly as possible.

This is out of the expectations of the Germans, after the capture of Baku, to be exact, in the first time to conquer Baku, they also seek oil production machinery, but in this era, the strongest oil production machinery capacity is the United States, the United States from Texas oil, to the Gulf of Mexico, it can be said that the myth of wealth has been created with oil, not only the amount of oil production has increased significantly, even the machine is the strongest in the world. Baku used American products before, but they were products from 20 years ago, which is already behind this era.

However, the United States and Germany are currently in a state of hostility, and other places are vital equipment such as oil equipment. Even ordinary products are not circulated with each other, and after being rejected, they originally wanted to study it themselves, and now China has made this request, which seems to be a good solution.

China is no longer the poor and backward China of a few years ago, and the development of science and technology, especially the creation of fantasy level. Under the premise that Germany has some large warships, such China can definitely be called an industrial power, and the high efficiency shown in the fire extinguishing of oil wells gives Germany reason to believe that China's oil equipment may be better, according to the previous agreement, based on the year of the highest production of the Baku oilfield, exceeding this output. China will have a higher share.

Germany only hesitated a little and agreed. So it's so easy because there is no oil research in Germany, oil, there must be oil wells, and oil has not replaced coal in the previous decades. There was not much use, and when the war broke out and the important role of oil was discovered, Germany was in a state of flux, and it was difficult for Germany to continue. Since China is so confident, let them try it, of course, bold attempts must also be carefully verified, the Germans did not let the oil wells be fully erected Chinese oil production equipment, they only agreed to one.

At this time, the oil well fire, basically has been extinguished, more than half a month of oil well burning, I don't know how many tons of oil, turned into heat, burned out, burned at the wellhead, it is certainly impossible to be completely burned, most of the oil turned into carbon, permeated in the air, so that the pollutant particles in the air have become more, even far away from the burning site, there is a faint pungent smell, at close range, even the average person smells these smells, will be dizzy, vomiting, serious and even life-threatening.

In fact, in the core of the combustion, it is really a place of toxic gas pollution, some minerals in the oil, for example, sulfur and phosphorus, etc., these minerals are not completely burned, they will turn into toxic gases, there is no wind in winter, and there is no rainfall, these pollutants will stay in this area, before the smoke of combustion is completely dispersed, in the case of measuring the pollutants in this area exceeds the standard, all the personnel in the local construction must wear gas masks.

When fighting fires, there are a large number of gas masks, before the German approval, there are also geologists to the local environment, a holistic assessment, after the approval, even more so, hundreds of Chinese geologists, plus engineers and workers, frequently enter the target area, on the topography, topography, and even the previous data to evaluate and summarize.

The Germans did not stop the Chinese, for Baku, the sooner the day of recovery, the earlier the day of production, represents the increase of Germany's wealth, for China is the same, the sooner Baku recovers, the sooner the day can obtain crude oil reserves, this is a world-class large oil field, a year conservative can produce 50 million tons, only China can get half, has always constrained China's oil crisis, will no longer exist, even if China completely popularizes motor vehicles in the future, it is the same.

Germany spit let China in a 2,500-ton-per-day oil well, first use Chinese equipment, China's actions are continuing, even with gas masks, but also to complete the preliminary preparations, after the fire brigade arrived in Baku, the follow-up equipment has come over, double-head oil production machine, has proven efficiency in China, it is impossible to double the single-head increase, but at least increase 7 percent, in a specific oil well, can be improved more, such efficiency, for China in urgent need of oil, is the most important, As long as every oil well in Baku uses a double-head oil production unit, production will inevitably increase, and even a 1% increase in an oil field with an annual production capacity of 30 million tons is extremely considerable, much more than China's previous reserves.

It takes time for equipment to be transported from Istanbul, the railway has not yet been fully penetrated, there is a simple road, a large number of trucks, it took 3 days to transport all kinds of oil production machinery, a total of 120 sets, piled up equipment, occupied a huge empty field, the German side did not say much, but took the initiative to allocate a warehouse to the Chinese.

Although, Germany just spit and let China experiment on an oil well, but China, which is full of confidence in oil production equipment, still shipped so much, a world-class large oil field, how can there be only such a few oil wells, 120, but preliminary, next, may need up to 1000 sets, or even more, which needs to be carefully judged by oil production experts before they can decide, the future of Baku, will be full of Chinese oil wells.

The 2,500-ton oil well, which Germany handed over to China for experiments, is one of 10 oil wells that have been extinguished in the suburbs of Baku. Vehicles and workers entered, and instead of erecting the oil well in the original location, they chose another place.

In the past few days, China's oil production experts, after careful investigation, check the previous address data, as well as some things of the oil well, chose to re-establish the oil well at the original site about a kilometer distance, here is the most suitable point, although the depth of drilling is 200 meters higher than the previous oil well, but the oil pressure is huge, the industrial flow of the outflow, will be much higher than before, this is also China's oil theory, in Europe, the first attempt in the world.

With the help of machinery, the fixed drill bit, high-hard steel bricks from China, after a short test machine, began to start, and a huge roar sounded again above Baku, at this time, on this land, in addition to Chinese geologists and workers, there are also 3 oil experts from Germany, who are responsible for monitoring the movements of the Chinese and preventing the Chinese from messing around.

They did not observe the oil well from a distance, but from a distance, and simply communicated, according to their understanding, although the previous oil well, although the fire was ignited, the oil production equipment was almost destroyed, but the drilling channel was still there, if the oil was extracted in those places, the time must be very short.

After knowing that the Chinese have changed their position, they have also reflected upwards that the German top level has promised China, and there is only one oil well, only such an oil well will work hard, will successively increase other oil wells, in the German high-level view, the Chinese in some aspects, some stubborn, and some no reason, but in the past few years, the cooperation between China and Germany, Germany still occupies a big advantage, from the outbreak of war in 1913 to 1915, more than 2 years, Germany did not collapse, but also thanks to ChinaCome to think of it, judging from the importance of oil to China, they will not mess around easily.

In the eyes of the German top level who control Baku, the Chinese should have mastered a better oil theory, otherwise they will not easily put forward the theory of raising 4 percent, they also evaluated Baku, if the original old equipment in Russia is replaced with the current mainstream new equipment in the world, it should not be a problem to increase 4 percent, as for the increase of more than 3 times, the German senior officials did not care at all, selectively put aside.

Drilling continues, the layman looks at the lively, the insider looks at the doorway, although these geological experts have not personally explored the oil field, nor have they installed oil wells, but through some public knowledge to know some, not to mention, the knowledge of drilling is still known, this is nothing more than the use of a drill bit, keep drilling the formation, although the deeper formation, the need for more technical means, but does not involve the principle of high profoundness, many times just simple mechanics.
