During the National Day holiday, among the mountains of Sichuan and Chongqing, the roar of drilling rigs never stopped. In the southwest well control workshop of Luzhou, Guo Feng, technician of the well control Sichuan and Chongqing project of Daqing Drilling Directional Well Branch, spent another long holiday in the workshop with a lone lamp on the operating table. For him, the reliability of well control equipment is the most solid safety bottom line for underground production.
In the early morning of October 1, Guo Feng’s cell phone rang suddenly. The first-line well team received an urgent request. A set of 27/8" internal blowout prevention tools needed to be inspected and delivered to the well site on the same day. After receiving the order, a race against time to ensure supply began.

Xingwen Base quickly transported the tools to the workshop, but the work had just begun. Blowout prevention tools are the "gate" for underground safety, and there is no room for omissions in every process. Guo Feng immediately summoned pressure test and flaw detection personnel to work. The technician shuttles back and forth between the equipment, the pressure test pump roars, and the flaw detection instrument scans the components bit by bit. From model review, appearance inspection, seal pressure test, and non-destructive flaw detection, he monitors the site throughout the process and verifies parameters one by one.
“Check the data again. "As he repeated his instructions, the autumn twilight spread over the mountains and fields. The lights of the workshop blended with the night, and the process progressed step by step. Until about 22:30 that day, the entire set of tools passed the test and was successfully loaded onto the truck. Seeing the lights of the transport vehicle piercing the mountain night and heading away to the deep mountain well site, Guo Feng breathed a long sigh of relief. "This National Day 'safety gift' was finally sent out on time. "
This overnight attack was just the beginning of his National Day duty. On the 4th and 5th of the holiday, the workshop was still busy. The equipment was returned to the warehouse one after another. Guo Feng inspected each unit, carefully checking the steel ring grooves and counting the integrity of the accessories, and handed it over to the maintenance personnel for maintenance. When the well team applied for new equipment, he prepared materials in advance and stood by during the pressure test and flaw detection process to compile complete pressure test data and flaw detection reports to ensure that the equipment is ready for use and prevent the well team from delaying drilling due to equipment.
Guo Feng has been stationed in the Luzhou foreign commission workshop for a long time, responsible for equipment reception, acceptance, distribution and supervision coordination. The strata in the Sichuan-Chongqing work area are complex, and drilling construction cannot stop for a moment. “Once there is a problem with the well equipment, it must be provided promptly no matter what time it is, and the well team must not stop drilling. "Guo Feng said that there are no holidays for well control guarantee. The well site is non-stop and the supply must be kept up.
On the mountain roads, vehicles returning home for the holidays shuttle back and forth; in the workshop, the lights on the operating desks are quietly bright. The transport truck rushes to the well site, the drilling rig continues to roar, and the internal blowout prevention tools delivered overnight are inspected and delivered, which are the heavy National Day answers given to the front line by the oil people.
It was dark at night, and before locking the workshop door, Guo Feng looked back at the lamp. The lights stand quietly, a silent promise: As long as the well site is needed, the well controller will be on duty at any time. (End)
