Chapter 936 Offshore Oil Drilling Platform

As soon as the boy finished speaking, he was stopped by his mother beside him. However, these words aroused Hades' curiosity.\

An airplane flew towards the drilling platform to the west. Who was that person?

"What kind of plane is it?" Hades asked.

Seeing the mother, Hades said: "You have provided a good news that according to our policy, you can get a bounty of one thousand dinars."

Now, Iraq's dinar is a very strong currency and has always maintained an exchange rate of about one to three with the US dollar, that is, one dinar can be converted to about three US dollars.

Hearing the bounty, the boy continued, "It's a big and big plane, almost as big as that plane."

Hades thought he was referring to the Il-76 transport aircraft, but he was referring to the Mi-24 helicopter. Is the helicopter still called a big and large aircraft? However, there are only helicopters that can fly to the drilling platform.

The small and small Tongbu Island and Geshm Island actually do not have very high economic value. The people on the island make fishing and do not have various minerals. However, the geographical location here is very important because there are many oil drilling platforms around here, and many of these platforms are still in the hands of the rulers of Holmzgan, which is also an important source of economic resources for them.

So, taking these islands, Hades knew that Kusai wanted to get the nearby oil platform together.

The oil fields in the central Persian Gulf have fallen into the hands of Kusai, but here is still blank, Kusai will never leave them a chance.

Moreover, Hades keenly felt that there must be something strange here.

\At this time, there must be some special situation.

"Which oil platform did they fly to?" Hades asked.

"I don't know. In short, I flew in that direction."

"The first team, take a helicopter with me. Go to the drilling platform to check, the second team and the third team, stay here to guard." Hades immediately gave the order.

"Captain, this is a violation of the plan we made before the war. Our mission did not mean to seize those drilling platforms." At this time, the captain of the third team next to him said.

"Fighter planes are fleeting on the battlefield. In the hands of the commander on the battlefield, we need to adapt to the situation." Hades said: "Notify the helicopters and pick us up."

The captain of the third team secretly despised him. The fighter planes on the battlefield were fleeting in an instant, and it was obvious that they felt very boring to come here, so they had to find something exciting to do. A helicopter and flew to the oil platform, which was just ordinary, except for ships, helicopters.

Of course, Hades thought so in his heart, and took it down. It was not interesting, so he could just go and find trouble for the oil drilling platform.

He didn't know that he really gained a lot this time.

On the earth, more than 70% of the sea water is all sea water, and the ocean is wider than land. The treasures on the sea are boundless like the sea. When the non-renewable resources are gradually decreasing, the eyes of energy experts are all looking at the sea.

The future war is a war on the ocean. Whoever controls the ocean can have sufficient resources in the future.

Now, the most important energy source is oil. The world's economy is affected by black gold such as oil. This gold exists not only on land but also on the seabed.

Although the North Sea is windy and high in waves, when the oil field is discovered in the North Sea, the UK still decided to make great efforts to develop, which cannot be stopped.

Compared to that, the Persian Gulf is lucky, and this place is simply the hometown of this kind of black gold.

On land, they only need to dig a very shallow well, and crude oil will be sprayed out by itself, and high yields will be sprayed by itself, allowing them to compete with all the oil-producing countries in the world, with the lowest cost.

In addition to land, there are countless oil fields under the calm sea surface of the Persian Gulf.

While developing land oil, they did not give up under the sea. Just north of the Strait of Holmz, there are many oil drilling platforms used to mine oil from the seabed.

The offshore oil drilling platform is a huge steel-structured marine fortress and a offshore structure used for drilling wells. Several floors of water surface building is equipped with drilling, power, communication, navigation and other equipment, as well as safe life-saving and personnel living facilities. It is an indispensable means for offshore oil and gas exploration and development.

Now here is mainly a self-lift drilling platform. This platform consists of a platform, pile legs and lifting mechanism. The platform can be lifted along the pile legs and generally has no self-navigation ability. During work, the pile legs are lowered and inserted into the seabed. The platform is lifted to a safe working height away from the sea surface, and the pile legs are pre-pressed to ensure that the pile legs do not sink when the platform encounters a storm. After completion, the platform drops to the sea surface, pulls out the pile legs and lifts them all. The entire platform floats on the sea surface and is dragged to a new well position by the tugboat. This platform is strong in adapting to the water depth, has a stable and good working, and has developed rapidly. Now, it accounts for half of the total number of mobile drilling devices.

With Hades' order, the helicopter overhead began to descend and landed on the clearings beside him.

The Mi-24 armed helicopter was also a powerful weapon in the history of the development of the Soviet Union. In particular, behind the helicopter is a troop carrier cabin. This design has been criticized by countless Western armed helicopter designers, resulting in a significant increase in the projection area on the side and increasing the possibility of being hit by ground fire. The West has developed professional armed helicopters and general helicopters.

However, this kind of helicopter is still beneficial. For example, the two cargo ships that came with them now have limited deck lengths and cannot carry more helicopters. This helicopter that can transport troops and provide firepower support to the ground is very suitable.

When we first landed, the first team was riding in helicopters, the second team and the third team were riding in infantry fighting vehicles. Now, the first team has been riding on the helicopters, but their captain Hades has been added.

On the helicopter, Hades looked down. Now the helicopter is flying very low, and you can see the ripples blown by rotors on the sea surface, and they are flying towards the drilling platform.

Hazaran 3 drilling platform.

Hazaran is a high mountain on the continent, named after this, hoping that this platform will be as majestic as a mountain.

This is the largest drilling platform here. It is a huge helicopter take-off and landing platform painted green. In the middle is the rack of more than 40 meters high for oil drilling. The drilling rig is also arranged here. The drill rod keeps drilling down as the drilling rig rotates. After the oil is drilled out, it is sent to the crude oil storage room on the first floor through the subsequently arranged pipeline. The second floor is the machine room, diesel generator, and various equipment are arranged here. The uppermost floor is a place for people to live, live and work. Four huge steel legs on all sides penetrate deep into the seabed, firmly supporting the drilling platform. There is also a huge crane on the side. These steel buildings are painted into bright red.

When the oil is mined to a certain extent and the entire crude oil storage room is full, tankers will transport the crude oil away. When the oil below is cleaned, the drilling platform will move its own nest and find a place to drill a well again.

As an offshore oil worker, they work on offshore drilling platforms all year round. They work very boring, but their income is very high. Hazaran III, this drilling platform, is controlled by a close friend of Sahab Mohammadi, the governor of Holmzgan Province.

On this platform, a man covered in beard was looking at the situation on the nearby Tatsuma Island with a telescope. He had seen that Iraq had launched an attack on this place. At the same time, he was very regretful of his actions. If he had known, he would not have come here so early today.

"Uncle, let's take action, otherwise it would be too late." At this time, a young man next to him said.

"No, let's go to night. We will take a boat back tonight, and the target will be smaller." said the middle-aged man.

He turned his head and his eyes were filled with worries. If someone could get close, he could be surprised to find out how Zad Apudul, the director-general of the Holmzgan Province, appeared in this place at this time?

If anyone could check the warehouse here, they would be even more surprised to find that there are 300 kilograms of gold on this rig!

The young man named Mansouri was transferred by Zad to serve as the head of the drilling platform a month ago. However, Mansouri didn't know about oil drilling platforms at all. When he came here, he was wandering around the platform every day, and then he started to get angry. The hygiene on the platform was not good, so he needed to free up one of the locations for use as a warehouse for placing miscellaneous items.

Oil workers are all men in their teens, so who cares about personal hygiene? Here, freshwater is shipped by ships, and it is difficult to enjoy it if you want to take a bath. Therefore, they are all unkempt and bearded.

However, Mansouri is the leader, and he said whatever he wants, then what he wants.

They didn't know that Mansouri was preparing for today.
