【新春走基层】挺进无人区 我为祖国找油气

Core Insights - The Qinghai Chaidamu Basin, located in a remote area with an average altitude exceeding 3000 meters, is rich in oil and gas resources despite its harsh geological conditions [1] - The Oriental Geophysical Exploration Team 249 has been conducting oil and gas exploration in this region, utilizing advanced seismic wave exploration technology to accurately locate natural gas buried deep underground [2] Group 1 - The Chaidamu Basin covers an area of over 20,000 square kilometers, with oxygen levels only 70% of those found in plain areas, making exploration particularly challenging [2] - The team, led by 46-year-old Yu Guoxiang, has over 600 members and has been stationed in the area since October of the previous year, working to set up extensive seismic wave receiving lines [2] - The team employs cutting-edge technology to overcome significant exploration challenges, marking China's first large-scale industrial application of controlled wave sources in this field, positioning the country at the forefront globally [2] Group 2 - The exploration process involves laying out hundreds of seismic wave receiving lines, with individual lines reaching up to 80 kilometers in length, and each bundle weighing over 16 kilograms [2] - The team faces various difficulties, including vehicle entrapment, equipment repairs, navigation failures, and getting lost, during their extensive exploration efforts [2] - A traditional morning whistle marks the shift change for the team, symbolizing respect for the generations of explorers who have contributed to this field [3]
