Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 507 Helium-rich gas field!

According to the energy engineers of the Petrochemical Group, the entire detection process will take at least a month or even longer.

It is not uncommon for some exploration missions to last several years.

"Mr. Wang, we are not very familiar with the local situation. I am afraid we will have to rely on your help to provide logistical support for such a large team!"

As a senior engineer and the first batch of petrochemical group employees to deal with Wang Lu, Qian Ming naturally took over the work of connecting with Wang Lu.

The entire petrochemical group's exploration team has a total of 40 to [-] people. They need to purchase supplies every day to eat, drink, and eat. Naturally, they cannot do without the assistance of Wang Lu, the landowner.

Wang Lu naturally wouldn't refuse, and he didn't even need to go out to purchase. The internal resources of the ranch were enough to consume.

Even the cooking team led by Lao Wei needs to be expanded in terms of manpower!
It is really difficult for him to prepare meals for hundreds of people by himself and with two or three assistant cooks!

As a result, Wang Lu, the rancher, and his parents all joined the queue to help cook, and they were able to barely make ends meet.

Wang Lu was not stingy at all when it came to food. He directly slaughtered an entire African zebu as a source of meat. With so many mouths to eat, he could basically kill a cow in a day!

Anyway, I have tens of thousands of beef cattle on my pasture, so I can definitely manage them.

The vegetables supplied by my own small vegetable garden are in short supply. It is time to expand the scale of vegetable cultivation.

After the exploration team members of the petrochemical group had been busy all day, they saw braised pork simmering in a large iron pot, and beef that was stewed and wrapped in a layer of mashed potatoes, and was surrounded by rich red oil. Lazi, all of them showed a satisfied smile.

"Good guy, this is higher than the food standard in our company cafeteria, so this trip is worth it!"

"Guigui, what kind of beef is this? It tastes so delicious!"

"Shutan! I can make at least three bowls of rice!"

"It has to be our own compatriots who have an appetite for us!"

Seeing the members of the exploration team of the petrochemical group working hard one by one, Wang Lu also wiped his sweat proudly.

What Wang Lu didn't expect was that the exploration process was originally expected to take at least a month, but in less than two weeks, Qian Ming found him with excitement on his face.

"Helium field! It's a helium field, and it's a helium field with extremely high purity!"

Seeing the crazy look of this senior energy engineer, Wang Lu was a little stunned at first, but then he realized that Guigui had really discovered an energy mine under the Woulu Mountains?
“We originally estimated that we would have to drill to a depth of 4000 to [-] meters before we could detect sufficient helium concentration, but the helium concentration detected in the samples brought out after the probe only went down a few hundred meters was already too high. We were shocked!" Qian Ming calmed down his emotions and introduced Wang Lu in as calm a tone as possible.

"Do you know what the helium concentration in those samples is... a full eight percent!"

"You may not know what this concept is! To put it simply, a helium concentration of more than [-]% is valuable for commercial development. The natural gas field with the highest helium concentration in China currently only contains [-]% It’s only [-]% helium. Even the highest natural gas field in North America, which is very rich in helium resources, has a helium content of only [-]%. The concentration of the helium field found under your ranch is already It’s exceeded! This is a completely helium-rich field!”

After hearing this, Wang Lu finally came to his senses. Guigui is worthy of being a system. Is he so top-notch?

Qian Ming's rambling continues:
“The most important thing is that the concentration of helium seems to be rising, as if helium is constantly entering the formation, especially at a depth of only a few hundred meters. This will bring great convenience to our future development and collection, and the mining cost will be reduced. It will be very cheap!”

"And we highly suspect that this is a pure helium field. I believe you also know that most of the helium is symbiotic with natural gas. It is basically collected and processed when natural gas is extracted. But in your We don’t seem to have detected the composition of natural gas underground in the pasture, or the content is very low, as if the helium gas flows directly from the earth’s crust. You must know that the value of helium is much higher than natural gas!”

Now Qian Ming doesn't have the stability of a senior engineer at all. He is completely like a manic patient.

Seeing that Wang Lu still looked calm, Qian Ming seemed to be afraid that Wang Lu wouldn't believe it, so he emphasized again:
"Don't worry, we came to this conclusion after rigorous verification. We have changed several drilling locations these days, and the values ​​we got are all amazing! Believe me, there is a place under your ranch that is of great development value. of helium-rich gas fields!”

"Then what should we do next?"

Wang Lu also asked after hearing this. To be honest, he knew nothing about energy.

"This is not something I can decide. We will report it to the domestic high-level officials immediately. I believe that high-level officials will come to meet with you in person soon!"

Qian Ming said with a serious face that he was just a senior engineer and he could make the final decision on the technical process. To be honest, his trip abroad was also to carry out an exploration mission. At present, the exploration mission has already produced preliminary results. His mission In fact, it is already completed.

But Qian Ming clearly knew that his stay there might be extended indefinitely.

Such a helium-rich gas field has been discovered. If its area and reserves are good in subsequent exploration, it will undoubtedly cause a shock in the helium industry and even the energy industry.

China, which is highly dependent on imported helium, will never miss such an excellent opportunity!As an energy giant with one of the three barrels of oil in the country, the Petrochemical Group also has plans for helium. Naturally, it will not let go of such a first-come-first-served opportunity.

In this regard, Qian Ming was also nervously watching Wang Lu's reaction. When he saw Wang Lu nodding his head noncommittally, he was immediately overjoyed.

This time he made such a big news, and he can’t escape the credit!

"Of course, our main goal in the next step is to continue to explore the helium gas reserves under your ranch, but we estimate that it should not be small, just based on its concentration!"

It is still a bit troublesome to carry out this work with their current personnel and equipment, but it is not difficult for the Petrochemical Group. As long as they get more technical support, this matter can be carried out immediately, and it will be carried out as quickly as possible. Get results quickly!
