Chapter 85 84. Qin Wengui——The Gobi Desert Witnesses Youth

Qin Wengui, male, Han nationality, from Pingshan County, Hebei Province, a member of the Communist Party of China. Born in 1961, he is currently the deputy general manager of PetroChina Engineering Technology Branch and the vice chairman of the All-China Youth Federation. In 1982, Qin Wengui, who graduated from the East China Petroleum Institute, did not hesitate to choose the oilfield with the highest altitude and the harshest environment in my country - Qinghai Oilfield.In that piece of Gobi desert, he worked for more than 20 years.Under extremely difficult conditions, with tenacious perseverance and assiduous research, he successively presided over and completed a number of scientific research projects such as "Comprehensive Research on Shizigou Fractured Reservoirs" and "Optimized Well Structure of Development Wells in Gasikule Oilfield". Dozens of new technologies and processes such as "U-shaped jamming method" and "imaging logging" have been applied to solve a large number of technical problems in production, greatly increase the drilling speed, and make the dream of drilling a well in two months a reality. become a reality. In 1995, when he dealt with technical casing accidents in Gasi Oilfield, he put forward a bold idea of ​​simplifying casing procedures for drilling.After half a year of painstaking research, Qin Wengui and his scientific and technological team completed the task of simplifying the casing program, and successfully drilled 4 deep development wells, saving nearly 7 million yuan in drilling costs. In 1992, Qin Wengui got the opportunity to study at the University of Calgary, Canada.After finishing his studies, he declined the high-paying offer from a foreign oil company, and resolutely chose to return to his motherland and Qinghai Oilfield.With his love and loyalty to the oil industry of the motherland, he blazed a path of hard work and hard work for contemporary young intellectuals to grow up.He was awarded the National Model Worker and the Chinese Youth May 4th Medal.

After Qin Wengui graduated from East China Petroleum Institute in 1982, he was assigned to Qinghai Oilfield.At that time, he also hesitated, because it is the oil field with the highest altitude and the hardest life in the country, which is well known in the oil industry.But he also knows that there is a vast territory and great potential for oil and gas development, and young people will definitely make a difference there.So, with the pride of "wearing an aluminum helmet and walking to the end of the world, sending the sunset under the Kunlun Mountains", he went to the vast desert.

When he first arrived at the drilling crew, the team leader asked him to start with the smallest tasks—sweeping the rig floor, cleaning the machine, collecting tools, and lifting clamps... After a busy day, he couldn't sleep at night and had nosebleeds all the time.Others told him it was called altitude sickness.One late night two months later, the earth was awakened.Blowout!After a while, the pressure at the wellhead had risen to more than 200 atmospheres, and the discharge pipeline was blocked by crystallized salt. If it was not dealt with immediately, the wellhead would be overturned, causing serious consequences of well destruction and death.

Qin Wengui saw the drillers waking up from their sleep without even having time to put on their hard hats, and even jumping into the waist-deep mud with their shirts off.Under the action of huge formation pressure, thousands of meters deep salt slurry spewed out like a dragon, tyrannically pounced on everyone close to it.However, no one flinched. Qin Wengui felt blood welling up.Dazed for a moment, he took off his coat, jumped into the mud, and joined the crowd rushing to repair the pipeline. At dawn, the blowout was finally subdued.In order to wash off the mud and oil stains on his body, Qin Wengui imitated his masters, first rubbed it with gasoline over and over again, and then rubbed it with soap over and over again. The stings all over his body were burning and painful, and soon his skin began to peel off.

After being "baptized" by salt water slurry, Qin Wengui realized that it takes courage to come to Qaidam, and a noble spirit is needed to dedicate himself to Qaidam.Gradually, the wind and sand in the desert roughened his skin, and the strong ultraviolet rays on the plateau tanned his face.In the team arm wrestling competition, he has already ranked second.Hitting pliers, throwing the drill pipe, holding the brake handle, running the casing... He knows every drilling process like the palm of his hand. Qin Wengui, who broke through the survival barrier, achieved the first leap in life.On the tall and upright drilling rig, he established his own life coordinates.That is, only those who create value for society have value in their life.

Qin Wengui worked in the most difficult well team for 5 years. In the past 5 years, he never put on the airs of a college student, and worked hard with the workers. Gradually, Qin Wengui discovered that the harsh natural conditions in the Qaidam Basin and the relatively backward technical equipment of the oilfield seriously hindered the further development of the Qinghai Oilfield.To change the status quo, there is only one way out, and that is hard work.He knows very well that suffering in a difficult place is not a real skill, only self-improvement and a career can have real value.A strong sense of responsibility and sense of urgency prompted him to study hard and study hard.

In order to learn English well, Qin Wengui subscribed to English newspapers such as "China Daily" and "Beijing Weekly" at his own expense, and insisted on keeping his work diary in English for many years.After a tiring day, others have fallen asleep soundly, and he is still studying with a dim light.Qin Wengui said frankly that his solid foundation in English created convenient conditions for him to look up information and conduct scientific research in the future. In the construction of a well in Yousha Mountain, in order to prevent the well from being deviated, he proposed to adopt the combination of rigid full-hole drilling technology and pendulum drilling technology based on his professional knowledge.His suggestion was adopted.Practice has proved that not only the quality of the well body is qualified, but also the drilling speed has been increased by 20%, and the cost has been saved by more than 200,000 yuan.In the fifth year of graduation, he joined the party; in the eighth year, he became the captain and engineer of the drilling team.

In February 1992, after a rigorous examination, Qin Wengui was selected to study at the University of Calgary in Canada for a period of 13 months.During the days of studying in Canada, Qin Wengui studied at the university in the morning and went to AKITA Petroleum Company to work as a follower in the afternoon.Whenever he has free time, he spends time in the library, studying professional books and periodicals, and learning about new drilling techniques.In the actual operation of the attendant, he pays attention to everything, observes everything, and records everything that is inspiring and valuable.

After finishing his studies, Qin Wengui resolutely declined the high salary and other favorable conditions abroad, and returned to his motherland and the Qinghai oil field he loved.
