Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 506: Drilling!
This is not a difficult task for Wang Lu, at most it just costs some money.

But the best choice right now is naturally to cooperate with domestic energy giants. In addition to technical advantages, there are also some off-site factors!

Although the entire ranch is my own private property, it is nothing to make a fortune by doing some planting, breeding, etc. New varieties of grains that are cultivated are unknown to outsiders, but if there is a large area of ​​helium under the ranch, Gas fields, the value contained in this important strategic resource.

Wang Lu really couldn't guarantee that the local senior officials wouldn't have any fancy ideas.

Although he has recruited many veterans and strengthened his security force, it is no problem to deal with ordinary threats, but if he wants to fight against the state machinery, it is still not enough.

Therefore, the safest way is naturally to leave it to domestic energy giants for exploration and later development.

As far as Wang Lu knows, the domestic demand for helium is also very high. Not only that, the price of helium in the entire international market has doubled or tripled in the past two years, and a large amount of helium is imported into the country.

Obviously, Wang Lu has always been very clear about his position.

It’s right to follow the state and keep it!

With the motherland behind us, it's just a helium field. When the time comes, we can give some benefits to the local area. Wouldn't it be nice to be good to you, me, and everyone?

The local area does not have the ability to develop underground oil and gas resources. They basically rely on foreign investment, especially when they have to rely on China for infrastructure. I believe they should know how to choose!

Qian Ming's report was still in progress, and Wang Lu was not idle either. He said hello to Lu Wei from the embassy in advance.

It would be right to communicate with the embassy in advance, otherwise it would be bad if a helium field is discovered and everyone is caught off guard!
Wang Lu soon got on the phone with Lu Wei. After listening to Wang Lu's words, Lu Wei on the other end of the phone didn't know what to say for a moment.

This person is really very capable, with new varieties of corn and rice, and now he seems to have discovered helium resources in his own pasture?

Damn, all the good things have happened to this guy, right?
However, Lu Wei soon understood the meaning of this. If this matter is implemented, the benefits to the country will be obvious!
"Don't worry, we will use our full mediation to ensure that the exploration process will not be disrupted!"

After getting Lu Wei's promise, Wang Lu felt relieved. After all, the act of exploring helium fields was still too ostentatious and conspicuous, and might be disturbed in the early stage.

Qian Ming's report was quickly answered. The Petrochemical Group has many cooperative oil well exploration projects in Africa. It can dispatch equipment for surveys at any time. The distance is not very far. If it is urgent, the dedicated exploration equipment can be used for half a year. It takes months to reach the ranch.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qian Ming led his engineers to continue surveying the area around the hot springs, and quickly came to a conclusion.

There is a high possibility that helium resources exist underground at Wanglu Ranch, and as they speculated, it is very likely that the helium leakage occurred due to the crustal changes caused by the previous earthquake.

The approximate location should even be in the Woulu Mountains, because whether it is a living area or a grassland area, the currently detected helium concentrations in the air and soil are within the normal range.But in the Woulu Mountains, the further you go in, the greater the helium concentration becomes, so the direction of exploration becomes clear.

During this period, in addition to Qian Ming, the Petrochemical Group also specially sent a larger and better-equipped professional team from China to station at Wang Lu's ranch, and re-examined Qian Ming's previous work. Double check.

It's always good to double check this kind of thing a few times.

In the end, the conclusion reached was the same, that is, it is very likely that helium resources will be found underground in Wang Lu's ranch. Now we have to wait for professional equipment to come over and conduct real exploration.

With the great mediation of the embassy, ​​the urgently deployed professional equipment also entered the local area smoothly and arrived at Wang Lu's ranch two days in advance.

However, the equipment also encountered some troubles after it was stationed at the ranch. That is, the roads inside the Woulu Mountains are rugged. After all, it is a mountain road. It is a bit difficult to transport the equipment for exploration.

I was so happy with it before, but I forgot about this!

But Qian Ming, a senior energy engineer and other employees of the petrochemical group, did not waver at all.

"Mr. Wang, this little difficulty is nothing to us. We have encountered no matter how bad the conditions are. We just have to overcome them. If we want to endure hardship, we Chinese people have to endure it!"

After saying that, Qian Ming came up with an effective plan. It was very simple, that is, dismantle the equipment, transport it manually into the Woulu Mountains, arrive at the designated location, and then reassemble it.

When Wang Lu heard this, he immediately thought of the African buffaloes that he had used as coolies. These guys had a lot of strength, and it would be wasted if they were not used at this time.

The buffalo group in the upper reaches of the Dome River has long taken root in the living area. Many calves were born last year, and they have become familiar with Wang Lu!
Sure enough, when Wang Lu led the group of African buffaloes in front of a group of energy engineers, they were all dumbfounded.

With the help of these African buffaloes, the progress of moving equipment will be much faster.

After all, one of these African buffaloes can be worth seven or eight manpower!
Especially on such rugged mountain roads, the advantages of the African buffalo become even more obvious.

In addition to the veterans of the ranch, Wang Lu also recruited many temporary black laborers to help carry the equipment. Finally, he successfully moved the exploration equipment into the Woulu Mountains. After overcoming many difficulties, he was responsible for the The drilling equipment for underground helium resource exploration in the Woulu Mountains was finally successfully assembled and put into operation.

This early exploration drilling rig is not a large instrument. It is different from drilling in oil and gas fields. It only needs to drill into the ground quickly. The scale does not need to be too large. It can sample various depths of the ground and detect helium concentration. Play a preliminary exploration effect.

Otherwise, large-scale mining and drilling cannot be transported without large-scale mechanical equipment. Even if it is transported into the mountains by manpower, it will still require lifting equipment to build it. The original mountain road in the Woulu Mountains, from Heavy equipment obviously can't get in, so it's basically useless!
