Chapter 174 The mobile country

Jansen smiled and smoothed out the situation, saying, "Mr. Simon means that they can assist Dahua in developing better technology."

Simon realized something and said: "Our technology is very strong. To cooperate with Mr. Sucheng's engineers, we can get very high-end products at relatively low prices."

In the eyes of Germans, Chinese are just good construction workers. Of course, almost all Westerners have high regards.

Sucheng has been in contact with many international people and is not busy getting angry. He first asked: "How much improvement can the $6 million oil rig can be compared to our current oil rig?"

"This... the recovery rate is definitely a little higher, but it mainly depends on comprehensive indicators. We are at the leading level of design safety, drilling efficiency, and automation." Simon gradually became excited when talking about technology, saying: "For example, drilling efficiency, through precise calculations and accurate construction, the drilling platform can still be stable under the 3-meter wave, and can continue to drill, with a wave of 4 meters high, and can also operate at a standby speed... In the case of a typhoon, there is no problem with the safety of the platform."

Su Cheng was a little surprised, but he was just surprised.

Such indicators are almost weak and irreducible in the 21st century drilling technology. Some of the textbooks he learned are better introduced. Even by the 1989 standards, Simon mentioned the indicators were only slightly higher, but as Simon said, the Germans paid the price of precise calculations and accurate construction for obtaining such indicators.

In other words, in order to increase the indicator by about 10%, Fenoer Shipping may increase the cost by 20% and the price by 40%.

Su Cheng secretly said: No wonder it is so expensive.

Thinking of this, Su Cheng asked with a smile: "Are the waves exceeding 3 meters in the shallow sea area of ​​Abu Dhabi? "

"Of course there are quite a few. We expect that more than 6 days a year will have more than 3 meters of waves. The wind and wave resistance indicators can make our drilling work longer." Simon looked serious.

"So, among waves that are more than 3 meters high, there are some waves that are more than 4 meters, so how many are there?"

Simon was stunned, his voice became deeper, and he said, "We have never calculated this."

"It's been more than 30 days. There are about 10 days left, which is more than 5 meters of waves." Sucheng looked at Jansen and said, "If it's just this level, the increased efficiency of the drilling rig doesn't seem to be much."

Simon's face looked ugly and defended: "Even so, our rigs are still ahead of the pack."

"There is no doubt. However, let's see our sea test situation first today." Su Cheng smiled and took the lead in walking down the drilling platform.

After the visit, the drilling platform will be started by 12 workers. Soon, Sucheng, Lin Yonggui, Jansen and others all returned to the commuter boat.

Simon knew that the business was going bad, and he seemed very unhappy and no longer cared about the sea trial in front of him.

The Chinese on the boat spoke in language he was unfamiliar with, and he was not in the mood to listen to the translation.

Lin Yonggui and others were very serious.

Sha Mingyin wore a bright yellow uniform and carefully conducted the last inspection, saying: "Dahua Industrial No. 005 bottom-mounted marine drilling platform has been accurately positioned. The operation plan is complete and the equipment is in good condition. The team is well prepared and has the conditions for drilling. Please instruct."

Lin Yonggui said solemnly: "Received, I announced that Dahua Industrial Base 005 bottom marine drilling platform will be drilled."

Sha Mingyin pressed the button with his thumb, and after a brief period of silence, the sea water was slowly and firmly stirred.

Simon used a telescope to see the rotating drill pipe and the protective layer outside.

The sea water in front of me was like a bowl of eggs being broken by chopsticks, and green and gray appeared alternately, accompanied by the deafening sound of a drill rig.

After repeated confirmation, Shaming Yin used the walkie-talkie to say: "The drilling rig is running normally, the platform operation is stable. The drilling rig continues to penetrate."

Simon and Jansen are both very familiar with this and do not have any special feelings.

However, the masters of Chengdao Oilfield have already grasped the railings with their hands. For them, the creation of an offshore drilling platform is an innovation. With it, there is no need to do any tricks of offshore oil production, but they are truly advancing towards the ocean.

Su Cheng looked quietly without revealing the excitement in his heart. He had already developed a look of calmness, but in fact, he was also excited.

The drilling rig is moving step by step.

Because it is a shallow sea, mud and sand will soon turn up, and the total amount is not very large, and the drilling rig also maintains the same sound.

For nervous people, it's a long process...

When the seawater stops silt and sand, the sound of drilling suddenly changes.

This time, even Lin Yonggui held the railing.

The sound of sand marks quickly came from the walkie-talkie: "Enter the rock formation, the drilling rig runs smoothly."

The few people whose fingers were white and pinched couldn't help laughing.

People from the headquarters have already begun to celebrate.

When testing the drilling table, whether oil is drilled is not the key. The drilling rig can operate stably, which means that the drilling table is normal.

Lin Yonggui waited for a minute, turned around, nodded to Su Cheng and said, "Congratulations to Dahua Laboratory for completing the domestic development and production of the base-type marine drilling platform."

"Thanks to Shengli Oilfield Administration for support." Su Cheng said all the things he said were photographed and recorded by the accompanying reporters.

The drilling rig is still drilling steadily.

The communication ship turns and holds a meeting on the shore.

There, the crowd who received the news had already become excited.

Dancing red flags and crazy running are good ways to vent their energy. Some people rushed into the sea and flew desperately in the cold sea water.

Simon looked at them incomprehensiblely. These shy and restrained yellow-skinned middle-aged people celebrated fanatically like young people, and said unconsciously: "It's just a shallow sea drilling platform, and it's a small platform for trial operation. If we use our equipment, the effect will only be better..."

Su Cheng heard his words from two locations, and thought for a while, and said, "Mr. Simon, when I was studying, I never dared to forget what the teacher said."

"What's the matter?"

Su Cheng stood up straight, sings slightly, and said in Chinese: "Ocean drilling platform is the 'mobile land'. Mr. Simon, we will not hand over our own land to foreigners."

This sentence was very loud and immediately resonated with all Chinese people.

Simon waited for 10 seconds before hearing the translation and immediately put away his smile.

Land is always a serious proposition.

Lin Yonggui hugged Su Cheng's shoulder, waited for the boat to stop and walked with him.

Simon and Jansen were both left behind, and listening to the cheers of hundreds of people, their hearts were ready to move.
Chapter completed!
