There is always a fire tube next to the oil field, isn't it terrible?It's terrible without burning

Although humans are moving towards the diversification of energy, it is undeniable that oil is still one of the most important energy sources in the world today.

Since human beings entering the industrial era, oil has been called "blood of industry". So how did the oil buried underground be found by humans? How did we determine the specific location of a oil field? Whether at sea or land, why is there always a tube next to the oil field? The discovery and mining of the oilfield let us explain it at once. The history of human use of petroleum can be traced back to the ancient Egyptian period. At that time, people were collected by collecting natural asphalt to build, bonding, and decoration of houses. my country is also one of the earliest countries to use oil.

In the "Han Book" by Ban Gu's Eastern Han historian Ban Gu, we can find such a record: "Gao Nu has flammable water, fertilizer on the water, and can be used." The "fat" here refers to oil Essence

Although the ancients were able to use oil, they could not actively discover where the oil fields were. They could only wait for the crustal activity to exudes naturally under the action of internal pressure. We can take the initiative to explore where the oil field is. At present, the three -dimensional earthquake detection technology is used for oil field exploration. In short, it is to discriminate the different substances of the underground through artificially manufacturing earthquake waves and monitor the speed of earthquake waves in different geological environments. Using the three -dimensional earthquake detection technology, we can not only discover underground energy such as oil and natural gas, but also understand the landform characteristics of the ground floor.

After determining the specific position of the oil field, the next step is to explore.

While digging the drills downwards, it is necessary to put it in the pipeline to ensure that the rock wall will not collapse. When the drill head breaks through many obstacles, you can see oil. The so -called petroleum is divided into narrow oil and broad oil. The narrow oil refers to the dark viscous liquid material, while the broad -meaning oil includes narrow oil and natural gas accompanied by oil. Why do you always accompany natural gas places? In essence, oil and natural gas are simply the same substance, except that different forms are displayed due to the differences in heavy hydrocarbon content and the differences in the environment.

After finding oil, it is necessary to minimize oil, and while mining oil, you must properly handle the natural gas of the accompanying life.

How to deal with these natural gas? Simply, these natural gas are discharged naturally with a tube, and then ignited, so a tube of fire jet appeared. Isn't this dangerous? In fact, it is just for safety to ignite natural gas. If the accompanying natural gas is ignored, let them naturally discharge into the air. Once they reach a certain concentration, they will burn when they encounter a bright fire. At the same time, it may also ignite the oil field to cause explosion. Is there a bright fire in the oil field? Of course, first of all, Mars may be generated during the drilling process. If the concentration of abundant gas in the air exceeds the standard, it will be very dangerous. So it is better to ignite them to avoid dispersing into the surrounding air.

In fact, there are not only natural gas in the oil field, but also some gas that is extremely dangerous for humans, such as hydrogen sulfide.

A small amount of hydrogen sulfide can be stimulated to the respiratory tract, and once a certain concentration is reached, it will affect the human nervous system and cause suffocation. Therefore, it is also for staff safety to ignite the gas in the oil field. So the question is, and natural gas, like oil, is also a very important energy. Why is it wasteful? Isn't it better to collect them? In fact, it is not difficult to collect natural gas in the oil field, but not all oil fields have the conditions to collect natural gas. "Oilfield" is just a general name. In fact, the oil fields usually include several different types: oil fields, oil and gas fields, and gas fields.

Although there are natural gas places where oil is said, the proportion of oil to natural gas is different.

Only a small amount of natural gas is called "oil field", and a large number of accompanied natural gas is called "oil and gas field", while the natural gas -oriented is called "gas field". For the oilfield, because the accompanying natural gas has fewer natural gas, it does not have the value of mining. To minimize natural gas, a whole set of independent equipment and corresponding staff must be used. If the natural gas obtained in the final mining is not enough, or only a meager return, it will not be a loss of money. No one will do this. No one will do it. So the best way is to burn them. However, how much is energy, it is a pity that it is wasteful. I believe that with the continuous progress of science and technology, we will have more advanced mining technology. The cost of mining and natural gas has dropped significantly. We will not need this tube of this fire.
