Chapter 113 Coalbed Methane

Mine manager Wang pulled Yang Dongsheng aside and opened his mouth dryly, but there was no sound.

"What did you say?"

Mine Manager Wang also ignored Yang Dongsheng's side and was busy directing people to put out the fire.

Yang Dongsheng took a look at his whole body, and touched the places he couldn't see. Fortunately, there were no missing parts.

But when he touched one side of the hair, Yang Dongsheng was taken aback suddenly, the touch was wrong, the hair was a bit hard, as if it had been styled with glue.

After touching it carefully, Yang Dongsheng smelled a burnt smell at the same time, and Yang Dongsheng finally understood what was going on - that large piece of hair was burnt.

Mine manager Wang ordered people to turn off the valve, and the fire dragon gradually disappeared.

"No one was hurt, right?" Yang Dongsheng asked.

"No, no!" Mine Manager Wang said while glancing at Yang Dongsheng. As long as your ancestor is not injured, you can say anything.

Yang Dongsheng looked around, and finally let go of his hanging heart.

Fortunately, this explosion only blew up the gas drainage station.

The gas extracted from the Shunhe Coal Mine is directly discharged into the atmosphere. In order to facilitate the discharge, the gas drainage station is located on a higher terrain and far away from other buildings.

Fortunately, except for the collapse of most of the gas drainage station and the shattering of several pieces of glass, the explosion did not spread to other buildings.

Yang Dongsheng called up the [-]D map, only to find that the gas drainage team on the mine had drilled through the faults he used to collect the gas.

A huge amount of gas gushed out at once, making it too late for the gas to disperse, and local areas reached explosive concentrations.

Most of the collapsed gas drainage station had been cleaned up. Mine Manager Wang walked over, crackling and tumbling, and pulled out a table from under the rubble.

Open each drawer in turn, and found half a charred cigarette case from one of the drawers.

"Who smoked it?" Mine manager Wang stared at the station manager of the gas drainage station without blinking.

The station master lowered his head, too frightened to breathe.

Mine manager Wang threw the cigarette case directly on the station manager's face, "I'm asking you, who smoked it?"

Yang Dongsheng didn't expect that Mine Manager Wang, who bent over like a eunuch in front of him, had such a domineering side.

But this is normal, without this kind of power, how can we restrain the one or two thousand people in the whole mine.

It's ridiculous that Yang Dongsheng's father still fantasizes all day long, if it wasn't for a relative drinking and making a mistake, which caused him to miss the recruitment exam in Daqing, otherwise he would be a director in Daqing today.

With his temperament of treating everyone as a grandson, he will be a clerk at most when he retires, and he will be promoted only if the leader is blind.

"No one will admit it, right? Well, then let me get out of here!"

"Yes, it's him!" The head of the gas drainage station finally pointed to one of them.

"Any more?"

"And him and him!"

"What about yourself?"

"I don't smoke, I really don't smoke, brother-in-law!" The station master was about to cry.

Mine Manager Wang really wanted to slap this idiot brother-in-law's big mouth. How can I protect you when he is called brother-in-law?

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you can't, you can't..." The station master panicked immediately.

Yang Dongsheng had to stand up and say something at this time, "Mine Manager Wang, since he doesn't smoke, it is at most a management dereliction of duty, and his dismissal is a bit too much. In my opinion, let him be the station manager of the gas extraction station." Get fired."

"Thank you, Mr. Yang!" Mine Manager Wang gave his brother-in-law a hard look.

Shunhe Coal Mine is a high-gas mine, and the gas has to be pumped every day, and the pumping station must be repaired as soon as possible.

Yang Dongsheng wanted to tell them that the current Shunhe Coal Mine was no longer a high-gas mine, but he couldn't explain to them why the Shunhe Coal Mine had become a low-gas mine. He could only watch them busy.

The repair work is not only a matter on the ground, but the underground drainage team must be notified first to suspend gas drainage, and the entire production schedule will be affected by this.

"Mine Manager Wang, why don't our mines use the gas? It's a pity to discharge it for nothing!"

"This is a bit difficult! The concentration of the gas we extract is too low. There are pit-mouth gas power stations in foreign countries, but there is no such technology in China."

Of course, Yang Dongsheng knew that the concentration of the extracted gas was not enough, but it is different now. He just saw that the methane content in those faults is frighteningly high. "If you can burn it directly, you will know if you try it."

Someone opened the valve a little bit, first lit a wooden stick with a lighter, and stretched the wooden stick in front of the pipe.

With a bang, a bright blue flame burst into flames.

Except for a pungent smell, it is similar to the gas stove at home.

"Can we use this for our water boiler?"

Gas-fired boilers are very different from coal-fired boilers.

Fortunately, Shunhe Coal Mine still uses very old boilers to heat water. The plan is simple and rude. A pipe is directly led to the boiler mouth, and the gas and coal are burned together.

On the contrary, how to ensure a stable gas supply has become a difficulty. Gas storage is much more complicated than coal storage.

"If this is too much, can we still sell it to takeaways! I heard that the city is building a gas pipeline."

"Just sell it to takeaway!"

Our country has the largest reserves of coalbed methane in the world. The burial depth is shallower than that of shale gas, and the total reserves are much higher than that of shale gas.

However, for a long time, the development of shale gas was in full swing, but there was almost no news about the development of coalbed methane.

Yang Dongsheng heard a saying in his previous life.Coalbed methane has not been developed. Of course there are technical factors, but it is mainly related to the struggle between coal companies and oil companies.

The fuse of the incident is said to be a coal company in the west. According to the local geological conditions, they have explored a set of coalbed methane extraction technology suitable for the local area. The production of coalbed methane has increased greatly. Furious, this has stabbed a hornet's nest all of a sudden.

Although CBM and coal have a symbiotic relationship, the mining rights are not in the hands of coal companies, but in the hands of oil companies.

After the oil companies knew about it, they not only prohibited the coal companies from continuing to exploit coalbed methane, but also tried to seize resources.

But coal companies are not vegetarians—why should I give up my coal fields to you?Who doesn't have a real father behind him!

Just shut the oil companies out of the door.

The end result is a lose-lose situation for both sides.

On the one hand, hundreds of billions of cubic meters of coal-bed methane are discharged in vain in China every year. On the other hand, oil companies spend huge amounts of foreign exchange to import liquefied coal-bed methane from Australia to extract shale gas, which is much more technically difficult.

Later, although the state came forward and the two sides reached a settlement, time was lost, and huge sums of money had been invested in shale gas development, which could not be stopped.

Yang Dongsheng's small shoulders couldn't withstand a blow from the oil company.

After tossing and tossing until night, I finally cleaned up.

Mine Manager Wang stayed with Yang Dongsheng for dinner.

Everyone came to the cafeteria together, several big pots of rice, and a pot of braised pork.

In front of Yang Dongsheng, there was an extra dish of stir-fried vegetables, a plate of fried lobster.
