This Fierce Battle Is Just For Gas To Strengthen Songliao!

On February 5, after the beginning of the Spring Festival in 2024, the lowest temperature in the Daqing Oilfield deep in the Songliao Basin was still more than minus 20 degrees Celsius. The sound of firecrackers sounded from time to time, making the pace of the New Year in the Year of the Dragon even more urgent.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, one kilometer away from Wanbao Industrial Park in Anda City, seven employees of Daqing Drilling were busy working on Well Dashen 32. The four of them were surveying the site for a while, and then went to the red intelligent oil-water-gas separator board room for discussions. People were welding nervously in a 2-meter-deep pit for natural gas pipelines.
Although the sun was high in the sky, people were freezing in the howling cold wind in just a few minutes. In addition to the mist coming out of each of the three workers' noses, some of the workers also had slight sweat steam on their foreheads.

"Director Li, can our ground pipeline construction be completed before the year?" "As long as we hurry up with the construction, I believe it can be completed on time." Li Ying, director of the gas field management department of the Daqing Drilling Tight Gas Project Management Department, and Ma Yongqing, director of the market and production coordination department, squatted while Discussing next to the pipe pit.
Li Ying is always thinking about when Well Dashen 32 can be put into production as soon as possible, because if it is put into production one day earlier, it can produce an additional 25,000 cubic meters of natural gas every day. Although not much, this gas can supply the Wanbao Industrial Park in Anda City for one day. Therefore, due to the thick frozen soil layer on the ground in winter, process transformation and ground construction were often done when the weather was warmer and drier in the past. However, this year they started relevant work on the 21st of the twelfth lunar month in order to race against time to put into production.

Daqing Oilfield is the largest crude oil production base in the country. Facing the important task of energy security in the new era, it is the responsibility of every Daqing oil person to serve as a benchmark and build a century-old oilfield. At the same time, Songshen 9H block is the first oil and gas independent risk operation block drilled in Daqing. Every cubic meter of gas is very important to drillers.
In 2023, Daqing Drilling gave full play to its advantages in geological engineering integration, innovatively formed the "Songshen Model", and achieved an annual natural gas production increase of 20 times compared with the initial establishment in 2021. This is also full of the sweat of all employees participating in the war, including Li Ying and Ma Yongqing. They not only work hard to increase production efficiently, but also do their homework on effective production.

The intelligent oil-water-gas separator is a good approach they adopted based on in-depth study of PetroChina's Sulige gas field development model.
In Well Dashen 16, Xu Xiujian, captain of the geological logging and gas production team serving tight gas production, and Li Mingxi, a technician born after 2000, were checking the production operations of the gas tree wellhead oil pressure and casing pressure gauges, external pressure gauges, natural gas pipeline insulation and other production operations. Status, carefully observe and record various parameters of the intelligent oil-water-gas separator temperature, liquid level, pressure, and pressure difference.
The intelligent oil-water-gas separator, whose scientific name is a combined three-phase separation metering device, can automatically separate oil, water and gas through parameter settings, and through centralized monitoring, it can observe the natural gas production within a radius of 20 kilometers. With this application alone, the Daqing Tight Gas Drilling Project Management Department saves an average of more than 3 million yuan per year.
"zi zi zi..." Xu Xiujian bent down to look at the half-meter-high dashboard with focused eyes. He opened a drain valve of his own gas drying tank and let out bursts of air. In order to prevent freezing, they need to promptly drain the remaining oil and water impurities in the gas supply pipeline filters of gas boilers and gas generators.
Seeing that the boiler, generator, and oil-water-gas separator were all operating normally, Xu Xiujian smiled at the corner of his mouth, and tears and snot could not stop flowing down under the stimulation of the cold wind.
It usually takes Xu Xiujian and Li Mingxi about half an hour to inspect a well. They also need to conduct the same inspection on 7 wells, which are more than 20 kilometers apart at the farthest and 4-5 kilometers recently. In order to ensure the smooth production of each well Damn, they need to spend the whole morning doing inspections.
If the drill bit is not available, oil and gas will not come out. In the integrated services of Daqing drilling geology and engineering technology, every link is crucial to oil and gas production.
Eight kilometers away from Well Dashen 16, the 50257 drilling team of Drilling Company No. 4 is working on Well Songshen 9-Ping 7. Every day, it is led by the Tight Gas Project Management Department, and key departments and units such as Daqing Drilling Engineering Technology Department, EISC Digital Intelligence Center, Directional Well Project Management Department, Drilling Fluid Project Management Department, as well as the engineering technology center and drilling team of the fourth drilling company participate in the whole process. The meeting was held on time at 9 a.m.
Production review, geological research, technical analysis, and risk assessment are all included in every aspect of oil and gas production, ensuring the safe and efficient advancement of production.
Drilling Company No. 4 has also established a well chief system. The drilling team schedules the construction period, meets daily, conducts regular blowout prevention drills, technical briefings, and process connections. They detail every job, clarify daily, weekly, and monthly production goals, and explain clearly. importance, clarify job responsibilities and work methods, reduce non-working time and improve efficiency.
In 2023, Daqing Drilling relied on such efficient management and complementary advantages to achieve a major breakthrough in the productivity of Well Songshen 9-Ping 5. Not only did it create many drilling records, it increased single well revenue by 10.8%, it also broke Historical understanding of the Shahezi Formation tight gas reservoir in the Songliao Basin.
"Ding...bang..." The sound of firecrackers coming from Yangcao Town, Anda City echoed in the air. The pace of the New Year cannot stop the oil man's determination to find more oil and gas.
This Spring Festival, 50257 drilling team captain Song Yuhang, secretary Pei Liang and 34 employees will all celebrate the New Year on the well. On the drilling floor, technician Wang Zhiyuan paid close attention to the changes in the instruments, driller Gao Qunfeng operated carefully, and Xue Qiuye at the wellhead stood in the cold wind, preparing to connect the drill pipe, with his neck collar covered with fog and frost. Under the drill floor, two drillers were cleaning the threads of the drill pipe.... .
In the cold wind, the sound of firecrackers, the roar of drilling rigs, and the flashing oil red paint the most beautiful oil picture of welcoming the spring at work.
