塔里木盆地的四川钻井队

SICHUAN DRILLING BRIGADE IN TALIMU BASIN

在塔里木盆地一望无际的戈壁沙滩上,钻塔冲天而立,钻机轰然作响。一个井场人口的牌坊顶上,一面印有“万米钻井队”金色大字的红旗迎风招展,鲜艳夺目。清晨,一队排列整齐的小伙子们唱着歌,雄纠纠气昂昂地向井场走去。“茫茫戈壁大漠,展开夺油大战,各路英雄齐争先。我们川军,两千条铮铮铁汉,为了拿下大油田,甘愿脱皮掉肉,汗水洒荒滩。创一流,跨雄关,世界高峰我们攀!我们攀!”这就是“川军”每天上下班唱的“军歌”。这军歌鼓舞着他们苦苦追寻和实现大漠石油梦。

he Talimu Basin in Xinjiang Autonomous Region, the hope of China's petroleum industry, is the first oil field in the country structured with the rules of a market economy. In the mid-80s when the new management mechanism was scarcely known and people stay away from market risks, the bid invitation for the project met with but indifferent faces. Then came the Sichuan Petroleum Administration which ventured China's first and got the bid. The Sichuan Drilling Brigade moved into the sandstorm of Talimu where, in spite of harsh natural and living conditions, the brigade set records after records in drilling periods, obtaining core from deep wells, productivity, number of teams drilling 10,000-meter wells and long-distance moving. Over the past eight years the Sichuan Brigade have opened up 89 wells (85 completed, an average speed of 460,000 meters per month) on 19 tectonic structures, among which are 31 oil or/and gas wells, or 38.75% of the total. It is no wonder that Congress leader Qiao Shi praised the Sichuan Brigade as 'particularly good at their job'. Today with its capacity of an annual 2,600,000 tons in crude oil, the Talimu Basin is gradually taking the shape of a large oil field.
