I! Pretending to Be Reborn, Director of Doomsday Hoax

"This... this is too crazy!" Zou Baitao was dumbfounded.

Xu Qiu smiled, "Which one of the decisions I made was not crazy?"

"Too."

Everyone came to their senses, the person in front of them was Xu Qiu, the director of the Emergency Bureau!

"From now on, increase the scale of energy exploration in the northern region, and discover more oil and gas resources as soon as possible, regardless of the cost!"

"The demolition in the north is endless. Most of the demolished houses are old and dilapidated. Rebuild temporary housing in the designated residential area. The biggest requirement for this housing is thick insulation and waterproof layers." "At the same time , to enhance the heating supply in the north.”

"From now on, start counting the information of residents in the south, and number each resident according to their ID card. At that time, they will move to the designated temporary residential area in the north according to the number!"

A series of orders were issued in an orderly manner.

Among them, what Xu Qiu cares most about is the exploitation of oil and gas resources.

Although folks have always said that the oil is about to be exhausted, in fact, as long as there are still organisms, the oil in the formation is almost difficult to deplete.

The upstream oil industry is constantly looking for oil and producing oil. Even if the oil fields that have been discovered are counted, even if all companies stop looking for oil and only exploit the oil fields that have been surveyed, it will still last for about 50 years.

But the current situation is that with the advancement of technology, including offshore mining, heavy oil, shale, etc., the world can extract more oil every year, and dig out places that could not be found before.

The saying that "the oil will be exhausted" that has been circulating is actually that the cheap oil will be exhausted.

That is, with the extraction of oil, the marginal cost surges.

The oil that is closest to the ground and has the lowest mining cost has been discovered everywhere. Now we can only continue to develop deep sea, shale, heavy oil, and even start exploring the polar regions.

How much does oil cost in these places?

Take deep-sea surveying as an example. The rental fee for the most advanced deep-sea platform is more than 700 million yuan per day, and it usually takes six months to survey a well.Moreover, the probability of deep-sea surveys is the same as winning the lottery, and most surveys will return without success.

Exploitation and construction of new oil fields and survey of new geological conditions are very expensive projects. Without the support of the state, it is impossible for a single company to sustain it. Few people are willing to do such a long-term and huge investment.

However, the most terrible thing is that human civilization can even be said to be built on oil.

Human beings have gone through the age of firewood, the age of coal, and entered the age of oil from the 60s of the last century. However, there is still a long way to go before the era of renewable energy.

Without oil, it is impossible for human beings to enter the era of renewable energy, and they can only return to the backward age of coal.

So-called renewable energy, including solar energy, wind energy, and even nuclear energy, has not been verified on a large scale, and the main energy source is oil.

Including electric vehicles in today's society, advertised as new energy vehicles, seem to get rid of the consumption of oil and natural gas, but in fact, the place where oil exists in the car is not just the fuel in the fuel tank, but petrochemicals.

Many materials used in people's lives, including synthetic rubber, plastics, lubricating oil, etc., are all predecessors of petroleum!

Zou Botao and others are well aware that

After the sun goes out, the ground freezes, and the soft soil turns into solid permafrost. At that time, if you want to dig down, you will need higher costs and greater losses.

The only way is to desperately find oil, extract oil, and store oil now! !

A few hours later, the Dragon Kingdom Strategic Crisis Bureau released the news again.

[Dragon State Strategic Crisis Bureau Order]: From now on, the identity information of southern residents will be counted, and an individual number will be given to each individual. This number will be equivalent to an ID card in the next few months.All of a sudden, there was an uproar in the society.

People discuss on various platforms!

"Is the country planning any big plans again?"

"All the southern residents get their own numbers. Could it be...they want to set up a special cold protection zone for us?"

"Could it be like Berry Country, build a huge wall to enclose a warm area, and then we southerners live in it?"

"Maybe it is to set the number, confirm the number of residents in each area, and then turn on the heating system?"

"The Little Ice Age is coming, and the south will drop below zero by then!"

"In addition to the previous meteorite fall, a large amount of water vapor evaporated, and a large number of forests in the Kangaroo Country were burned, and a large amount of water entered the atmosphere. If there is another major cooling at that time, the whole country may snow again!"

"The cold, coupled with snowfall, may increase ice at the North and South poles."

"And the increase in the ice layer will cause all the sunlight to be reflected, the temperature of the blue star will further drop, and even... usher in a terrible disaster! This reminds me of the Ordovician mass extinction more than 4 million years ago!" One comment instantly gained tens of thousands of likes: "Don't spread panic!! Trust the country, trust the country, please don't add trouble to the country!"

"I am a resident of the South, and our community has already started counting, and we are queuing up for registration!"

"In response to the country's call, our whole family took the initiative to register the number!!"

Longguo Petroleum and Chemical Industry Bureau.

Liu Ye, director of the Petrochemical Bureau, was looking at a red-headed document on the table at the moment, with a serious expression on his face.

"Instructions on the Exploration and Exploitation of Large Oil Fields at Any Cost"

Regardless of the "[-]" price survey, mining...

It seems that the country's use of oil and gas has reached a critical moment?

As the director of the Petrochemical Bureau, Liu Ye is naturally aware of the current situation of oil exploration in Longguo.

Yilong Kingdom's current oil and natural gas reserves, if used normally, can still be consumed for about ten years.

However, if the current construction progress of the underground city is followed, the oil will be used for at most one year.

Previously, it was impossible to increase the mining speed due to capital, turnover, and profit returns, but now, there is no need to worry about these at all.

The oil industry in Longguo has only one goal in the future, to explore and exploit oil regardless of the cost!

He took several supervisors to the nearby large oil field.

It is ten o'clock at night.

On weekdays, at this time, the oil extraction workers and equipment are rested, but now, since the country announced that the whole country will fight against the era of extreme cold, people in the oil extraction industry are also working overloaded.

And with the decree, the oil industry will usher in a new peak!

Lamps were lit up one by one at the mining site, and the sound of rumbling machines overshadowed the tranquility of the night.

However, every construction worker is full of energy, because they know that they are contributing to the construction of the dungeon of Dragon Kingdom, and every barrel of oil, every oil field, will be fresh blood through the construction of the dungeon! !

"Director Liu, do you have any new instructions from the state?" asked the deputy director of the Petrochemical Bureau.

With a serious expression on his face, Liu Ye said with a heavy burden on his shoulders, "Starting today, regardless of cost or profit, we will carry out oil exploration and exploitation."

Everyone's expressions were stiff, the country... this is about to make a big move!

"The country has put forward key requirements for natural gas reserves. We must exploit as much natural gas as possible in a short period of time."

After Liu Ye finished speaking, he asked everyone, "What can you do?"

The deputy director said: "Natural gas exists independently, but most of it is produced together with crude oil. Comprehensive oil and gas exploration and exploitation can not only collect a large amount of natural gas, but also quickly obtain oil and crude oil!" Said: "There is oil and natural gas in our area, but the speed of extraction has become slower and slower over time." The extraction of natural gas is exactly like this.

Like oil, natural gas is often a storage system with bottom water and edge water.

With the development of natural gas, the elastic energy of the water body will drive the water into the gas reservoir along the high permeability zone.

In this case, due to the hydrophilicity of the rock itself and the effect of capillary pressure, the intrusion of water does not effectively displace the gas, but seals the undischarged gas in the cracks, holes or gaps, forming a dead gas zone.This part of the high-pressure gas trapped in the water invasion zone can be as high as 30% to 50% of the rock pore volume, thus greatly reducing the ultimate recovery of the gas reservoir.

Secondly, after the gas well produces water, the seepage resistance of the gas flowing into the bottom of the well will increase, and the total energy consumption of the gas-liquid two-phase pipe flow upward along the oil well will increase significantly.

With the increasing impact of water invasion, the gas production rate of gas reservoirs decreases, the self-spraying ability of gas wells weakens, and the production of a single well decreases rapidly until the bottom of the well is seriously waterlogged and production is shut down.

The chief surveyor of the Petroleum Survey Institute said: "Now there are two ways to control the flooding of gas reservoirs."

"One is drainage and the other is water blocking."

Liu Ye and the others knew it in their hearts.

Water plugging is to use mechanical plugging, chemical plugging and other methods to separate the gas-producing layer from the water-producing layer or to build a water-blocking barrier in the reservoir.And there are too many drainage methods. The main principle is to remove the accumulated water in the wellbore. The technical term is called drainage and gas recovery method.

However, these methods have actually been used for decades, and the efficiency has been somewhat low.

Liu Ye sighed and said, "Is there no better way?"

At this time, Xiao Yang, who had been silent for a long time, spoke.

Xiao Yang is a graduate of Longguo Petroleum University. His master's and doctoral research topics are natural gas exploration and mining.

The biggest reason why he was able to follow so many big figures to inspect the oil mining site was that Xiao Yang was the child of Liu Ye's younger sister.

"Uncle, I have a solution!"

Liu Ye waved his hand, "Don't make trouble, kid, just practice hard when you come to practice, and don't make trouble for adults."

Others didn't think so. Xiao Yang has always been a very thoughtful person. He never used Liu Ye's name to overwhelm others. He is very polite and has his own opinions on petrochemicals.

With his strength, even without Liu Ye, it would not be difficult to become a senior member of the Petrochemical Bureau in the future.

"Director Liu, let's hear what Xiao Yang thinks!"

"Xiao Yang has always been very smart! We almost missed an oil field last time. It was he who suggested remote sensing of oil and gas resources, so we settled down on that oil field. Once we dug down, there was indeed oil!"

Seeing that his subordinates were all speaking for Xiao Yang, Liu Ye felt a little proud.

As expected of his nephew!

"Okay, then you can talk about it for now." Liu Ye nodded in agreement.

Xiao Yang walked to Liu Ye's side, looking at the sleepless oil field below, the rumbling sound of machines moving him.

"I don't know if my uncle and all the uncles have heard of hydraulic fracturing?"

"Fracking?" Liu Ye wondered.

"I know this. It is a very ancient mining method. This is a technology hundreds of years ago. We don't use it anymore."

"Yes, the natural gas extraction method was widely used in the 40s, but now we have more advanced extraction technology, which has been abandoned."

"This method is very complicated and expensive!"

Liu Ye almost slapped him across the face, did the little bastard propose a method hundreds of years ago to embarrass himself?

Xiao Yang was very smart, so he quickly avoided it, and continued: "Listen to me first!"

"Fracking, which is all about extracting natural gas from deep under the earth, works by breaking porous rock through the use of water, sand and powerful chemicals to release the gas that's trapped within it."

"Nowadays, a large number of traditional natural gas sources have been depleted, and the price of natural gas and other fuels has risen accordingly. Therefore, more complex and expensive extraction and extraction techniques such as fracking have come in handy instead!"

"Old man, it's not written in the documents issued by the state that oil and gas resources should be explored regardless of the cost. Now we only need to increase the reserves of crude oil and natural gas to protect the construction of the country. It doesn't matter whether this method is expensive or not! "

"With state backing, we can do fracking!"

Liu Ye was taken aback.

Decades of experience in oil exploration made him subconsciously consider cost, profit, return, etc. at the first time,

But the most important thing now is to increase the efficiency and speed of oil and natural gas extraction!
