My Italian: Chapter 428 Oil below

The internal combustion engine on the drilling platform is working non-stop, and the drilling team has long been accustomed to the rumbling noise. Some of them are so normal, and only the occasional counting sound lets people know how many meters they have drilled.

"2789 meters."

"2790 meters."

"..."

It seems so boring to report the number from time to time, but it is an indispensable part of drilling deep wells. Especially when the drilling depth is quite deep, it is necessary to let everyone know every meter of drilling. Because the deeper the underground drilling, the more complicated the situation. At this time, it is necessary to report the number at any time, so that everyone can be alert.

"2796 meters."

When the reporter reported the current drilling numbers, he suddenly heard a "puff" sound, and then saw the pressure gauge increase sharply, and then the drill bit sank.

"If there is a situation, go and ask the captain to come over and take a look."

"It's too late, the pressure gauge is already overvalued."

Sure enough, as soon as the voice fell, the operating platform began to shake, and everyone knew that there was a strong thing rushing towards the ground along the pipeline they drilled.

"No, it's a blowout! Call Captain Robinson over."

"It feels much stronger than the last blowout. It's hard to run fast. I feel like I can't hold it down. It's too dangerous here."

The panicked ones had no idea that the treasure that had been buried for hundreds of millions of years was about to reappear.

"Boom!"

A loud bang scared everyone to hide further away. And the black liquid broke through the shackles and rushed directly into the sky.

Robinson and Garcia, who were coming, were stunned looking at the 100-meter-high black spray column.

"My God, how much oil is down here!"

Compared with the astonished deputy, Robinson turned and hugged his deputy.

"See, Garcia, we did it, we did it." He pointed to the erupting oil column in the distance. "This time, if the company doesn't give us double rewards, I will never end with them."

"Let's let go of the rewards first, and the important thing is to quickly block the mouth of the well."

Garcia came back to his senses, quickly stopped his captain from dancing, pointed at the team members who were avoiding the oil rain, and hoped that the captain would quickly come up with a solution.

"Quickly call the rest of the camp to come over and ask them to bring the cement too."

Looking at the 100-meter-high oil column in front of him, Robinson regained his senses and felt a headache, and he had no confidence in stopping the blowout.

The fact is indeed the case. After three days of rescue work, they used up all the cement and could only watch the continuous eruption of oil and continue to rain oil.

However, apart from being unable to stop the blowout, there is good news. First of all, the oil is light and low-sulfur, which is very high-quality oil. Secondly, according to estimates, the daily output of the well they drilled has reached 1,000 tons. According to calculations, there is at least one billion-ton oil field underground.

This kind of news was quickly spread to Benghazi, to the Italian oil company, and to the desk of King Carlo.

At Carlo's desk, Mr. Anderson, the general manager of the Italian oil company, listened to Carlo's instructions respectfully.

"Did the oil well stop the blowout?"

"Your Majesty, thanks to the efforts of hundreds of oil workers, the blowout has stopped."

Let Carlo summon the general manager of the oil company precisely because of the good news that Libya has produced oil. Speaking of Mr. Anderson, it was difficult before, because he ordered the Italian oil company to invest a lot of money in Libyan oil exploration, and the performance of the oil company, many people ridiculed before, looking for oil in the deserts of North Africa. It's better to find water.

Of course, we don't know what the motives of these people are, but of course they questioned that the oil company was wasting the funds reported to him by the state, but it has appeared in several newspapers.

Well now, the oil company has found oil in Harigi, enough to shut up.

"What are you going to do next?"

Facing Carlo's inquiry, the head of Italian oil immediately spoke. "Your Majesty, our Italian oil company intends to carry out intensive drilling in the Harigi area in order to expand production capacity. In addition, we will also conduct a careful exploration of the oil reserves in the area. In addition, we cannot relax the exploration work in other parts of Libya."

For the exploration work in other areas, Anderson is very confident, because there are few isolated oil fields, it is like digging potatoes, as long as you find one, there must be another one.

After seeing that his own oil company was very concerned about Libya's oil output, Carlo was relieved.

Now that the oil company has paid attention to it, what else can he say, it can only be encouraged.

Of course, for oil companies, the discovery of oil in Libya must be taken seriously. After all, it is close to the mainland, unlike Balikpapan, which is half a world away. Secondly, although the current oil consumption is due to the relationship between electric lighting, the effect of oil is much less.

But Anderson is very confident about the future of oil, because oil is not only kerosene, but also has a bright future like gasoline and diesel, which can be used as fuel for internal combustion engines.

Although there are not many internal combustion engines now, their efficiency far exceeds that of steam engines, which determines the replacement status of the two. Just think about the steam engines that are spread across all walks of life now, and you can think of the vast market for internal combustion engines in the future, and oil will definitely be an indispensable blood for future industries.

Of course, the bright future of oil is only the future~www.mtlnovel.com~ But in addition to looking at the future, we also need to look at the present. The current plight of oil requires more people to use oil, so the internal combustion engine needs to be promoted as a standard configuration for using oil.

(This is one of the main reasons why Rockefeller invested in Ford, to promote cars in order to sell oil, which is not quite perfect.)

Of course, this is a far-fetched topic. Regarding the news that the Italians discovered oil in Libya, only a few economic newspapers published the news. At this time, the importance of oil has not yet been reflected, and even cars are still the toys of the nobles and rich.

As for the diesel engine, well, mines and inland river transportation need this kind of internal combustion engine with powerful horsepower, because in addition to the advantage of high horsepower, its quality of burning waste oil is commendable. The only downside is that it is relatively loud. Also a bit expensive. (Diesel is waste oil at this time, very cheap)

Therefore, everyone ignored the news of the discovery of oil in Italy. Of course, some people have noticed it, but it is a pity that Rear Admiral Fisher, who is the commander of the West Indian Navy formation of the British Empire, is not considered a big man now, so his opinion is not enough to attract other people's attention.
