Chapter 35 The Libyan Desert
The great desert of Libya, Lao Tzu is here!
The endless desert, the dunes next to each other, even if the desert tires are specially replaced, the wheels of the car are still deeply immersed in the desert.
Here, no one exists!
It was a heat wave, sitting on a piece of sand and felt my butt burn.
Almost everyone, wearing a scarf, looked a little funny.
"Hannah, is it hard?" Cyric said to the girl beside him.
It takes a lot of courage to give up a comfortable villa and endure hardship in the desert.
Looking at the tent that was being set up, Hannah looked back again, looked at Cyric beside her, and said, "As long as you are with brother Cyric, you will be happiest no matter where you are."
Facing Hannah's infatuated gaze, Cyric didn't know what to say, he could only look into the distance.
There are many oil fields underground in Libya, and there are 12 large and extra-large oil fields with reserves exceeding 1 billion barrels. Moreover, Libyan oil has the characteristics of good oil quality, low sulfur content and low extraction cost.
Now, after careful consideration, Cyric has decided to place the first mining site on the Amal Field.
In later generations, this is the second largest oil field in Libya. The estimated reserves are more than 580 million tons. The annual oil output is about 3.5 million tons.
It's in the desert, just north of the Jalu Oasis. Therefore, if there is a need, you can go to Jialu Oasis to buy it, and here, it is very hidden.
When oil is produced in the future, an oil pipeline can be built that leads directly to Ras Lanuf on the southern shore of Sirte Bay.
"Brother Cyric, you say, is there really oil under here?" Hannah asked Cyric.
"Yes." Cyric said with certainty: "Otherwise, wouldn't our Munich Oil Company be going bankrupt?"
After signing a contract with Italy, in the name of Cyric, an oil company was registered in Munich, Germany, which is also convenient for concealing people's eyes. !
However, when the news came out, everyone thought it was a big joke. It has been confirmed that there is oil under the deserts of the Middle East. However, no geologist believes that there is also oil in Libya!
However, this company is not pretending! In the market, they bought a lot of oil drilling equipment, and they actually shipped it here!
Now, the cars behind are loaded with these devices!
"Now, let's get to work!" Cyric said: "The riches of the black underground will be born in our hands!"
The machinery of this era is not as advanced as later generations, and it relies more on manual work. In the desert, it took almost half a month for the first batch of personnel to dig to a depth of one thousand meters.
Nothing at all!
"Mr. Cyric, it seems that we can't find oil here. I think we should move to another place. Or, we should give up." Engineer Neuer said.
Cyric is not a professional oil digger. The engineer in front of him, Neuer, was invited from Germany. At the same time, a necessary condition is that Neuer is also a diehard Hitler loyalist. The man who saved the fate of Germany.
Therefore, Neuer followed Cyric to the endless Libyan desert.
And now, Neuer wants to give up. In other words, he had no confidence at all!
At the beginning, it was because of his crazy support for Hitler that he was able to lead the team and come here, but how could there be oil here?
There is oil under the deserts of the Middle East, but the oil is buried quite shallowly. If you hit dozens of meters or hundreds of meters below the sand, oil will come out. Moreover, it is a high-yield self-spraying crude oil, which is directly sprayed without an oil pump. Out!
And now, they have already hit one thousand meters! Did not see anything!
"No, we continue to fight. If we don't have one thousand meters, we will hit fifteen hundred meters, two kilometers, or three kilometers, five kilometers." Cyric said: "In short, we must not give up."
How deep is the oil buried here? Cyric did not memorize detailed data in his previous life, but one thing could not be wrong, there was indeed oil under this position!
Seeing Cyric's insistence, Neuer couldn't help shaking his head: "Mr. Cyric, I really don't understand why you are so stubborn, and my workers and I can't hold on anymore. This place where birds don't shit is a hell!"
Oil workers, don't care about hard conditions, after all, oil won't be buried directly under big cities, many places are remote and desolate, but they need to have basic confidence!
Even geologists have concluded that there is no more oil here, but at Cyric's insistence, he has to make holes in the ground like a fool, which is quite speechless!
"The wages of the workers will be increased by another 20%." Cyric said: "This is an additional subsidy. When the oil is released, the first batch of workers will each have an additional reward. "
Quite simply, the reward is the most effective stimulus in this case, and the salary keeps them willing.
The sunset has dyed the western sky red, and another day of labor is coming to an end.
The workers are listless, and the climate here makes them a little grumpy.
"Klimu, you crushed my foot!" a worker shouted: "You bloody sissy."
"Who are you talking about?" Klimu turned his head, his words were very thin, and he really sounded like a sissy, but at this time, his face was full of anger.
"What about you, you're a sissy!"
"Watch Laozi beat you!"
Crimea picked up a wrench and swung it towards the other's head, but at this moment, he stopped.
What is the taste? What is the taste?
There is a pungent smell in the air! This smell is so familiar!
LPG!
The drilling machine hit about 1,200 meters, and finally, a stream of petroleum gas came out of it!
This shows that the oil is down there!
There is oil, and there is oil!
The entire exploration team burst into cheers, and their hard work here was not in vain! At this time, Crimea also forgot the title of sissy, and hugged the guy opposite him who humiliated him.
Everyone is celebrating this great moment!
From the drilling pipes, the flames of the burning petroleum gas illuminated the dark camp. They could not sleep this night!
