"Our oil field exploration here is thanks to Comrade Gu Bojin." Kritlov, who was appointed as the head of this oil field, said beside Beria.
Gu Bojin was the father of petroleum geology in the Soviet Union.
Gu Bojin once went to the United States for an investigation. He learned from the American experience and combined it with the actual oil and gas exploration in the Baku area. Then he began to study and survey the Devonian strata north of the Caspian Sea until the Ural Mountains. edge. He predicted. The vast area on the front edge of the Ural Mountains will become the second Baku.
Unfortunately, his exploration has gone through hardships, and the Chusov small oil field was discovered in 1929. In 1932, a slightly larger Yichenbai oil field was discovered, with a total annual output of less than 1 million tons.
And now, the oil field under their feet was discovered in 1937 and developed into the Dumaz oil field this year.
Even so, the annual output is less than 2 million tons.
The main problem is that they are not drilling enough. The drilling rig from the Baku oil field only drilled to a depth of one kilometer at most. Gu Bojin died two years ago, and the oil field here has not continued to expand.
Until now.
The several large drilling rigs nearby were all transported from the United States. These drilling rigs can drill down to two kilometers below. The Carboniferous and mud-salt beds below the Permian are the real ones proposed by Gu Bojin. The place where the oil is buried.
Beria nodded, he looked at the tall drilling rig in the distance, and then at the newly built factories nearby, where many oil refineries would soon be built.
From mining to refining, one step is in place, and then the refined oil is directly transported to the front line by rail.
It’s a pity that the oil refining equipment transported by the United States unexpectedly had an accident on the Arctic Ocean, which made him a little anxious. Although the military order was issued in front of Comrade Stalin, it was not established without the United States. Stalin would not say so much.
Now, the Baku oil field is very dangerous. Turkey, a foolish country, actually obeyed the instigation of the Germans and ran to attack Armenia! In his eyes, Turkey is not terrible, but Iran is terrifying. In the end, the Baku oil field may fall into the hands of Iranians!
Therefore, the establishment of the second Baku here must not go wrong!
Thinking of this, his hand gently waved the whip, these people, whoever dares to be lazy, smokes!
There are also guards nearby. If anyone dares to escape, they will be shot directly. After all, many of them are prisoners in prison.
On the tall drilling platform, the drilling rig was rumbling. Suddenly, from the hollow part of the drill bit, a strong gas expelled upward.
"Successful, successful, we drilled out oil!" The operator on the rig shouted loudly. He pressed the switch, and the gas above was ignited in the electric spark!
In the drilling of oil fields, there will be some gas in the upper part of the oil field. Almost all of these gases are burnt, just like now, this burning flame makes everyone excited.
"Sure enough, at a depth of two kilometers, there is still oil!" Kritrov was also extremely excited.
Kritlov and Beria both ran over, watching the flames from the oil well, very excited.
At the same time, the other drilling rigs also burst into flames one after another!
At this time, they had not drilled to two kilometers, at 1740 meters, they obtained a lot of oil!
"General Beria, the total reserves of our oil fields here will definitely be hundreds of millions of tons!" Kritrov simply calculated and said excitedly towards Beria.
The detailed data will be calculated after a few days. The total oil reserves here are around 300 million tons. Finally, the second Baku is worthy of its name.
This is just an oil field. In the area predicted by Gu Bojin, the oil storage area is 700,000 square kilometers. I don't know how many oil fields with huge reserves can be produced!
Beria put down the whip in his hand: "Today we slapped out the oil. It is a day worth celebrating. You can rest this afternoon."
These days, Beria has been supervising every day, and there are even two prisoners who died alive under his whip. No one dared to be lazy. At the same time, many prisoners are already exhausted because of insufficient food. It's done.
Fortunately, ordinary oil workers say that these prisoners will be tortured to death by Beria if they continue to do this.
Letting them rest for a long time this afternoon is a reward for their labor reform. After tomorrow, they have to continue to work hard. After the oil wells are drilled, the laying of pipelines and other tasks is hard work.
After receiving Beria's order, all the prisoners cheered. For them, it was the best thing to be able to rest.
A thin middle-aged man, after receiving the order, was relieved. He sat down on the side of a pipe, took out a piece of paper and used a pencil to calculate on it. Soon, Immersed in his own world.
A few years of heavy physical work made him yellowish and thin, but his brain was still extremely active. As he calculated, he smiled and didn't notice a pair of big feet in leather boots appearing in front of him.
"Korolev, it is not time to rest, you have to go on to work, it is not the afternoon!" At this moment, a stern cry came from my ear. There will be a whip sound.
When he heard this sound, Korolev immediately put the paper back into his pocket~www.novelhall.com~ and wanted to run. If he runs slowly, he will get a whip.
However, a person stopped him.
"It's okay, Korolev can rest now."
The people around Beria were extremely surprised. When did he, a stern and cold person, become soft-hearted?
Korolev raised his head and saw Beria, his body seemed to move, then he took out the paper and continued to calculate, it seemed that Beria never existed.
Beria sat down next to him, lit a cigarette silently, took a sip, and then handed it to Korolev, who unceremoniously took the cigarette and inhaled it. While continuing to calculate.
This scene stunned everyone else. Now, who would dare to be disrespectful to Beria?
And Beria's words made everyone continue to be surprised: "When the oilfield business here is finished, you can be semi-free. This is the greatest authority I can give you. The 4th Special Prison All prisoners can work under your leadership."
