"The first financial daily" reporter learned that PetroChina's Shenyang Oil province Hetao in a total of 130 wells, and Sinopec was shut down estimated at about 100, the future will be more wells are shut, still depending on the specific extent of flooding. "The oil well affected by floods in Jiangsu oil field is estimated at about 500, but not so many wells are submerged," he said.  "Yesterday, an internal management of Jiangsu Oil Field told the newspaper, in the entire Jiangsu oil field, a total of more than 1500 wells, the annual production volume of about 1.7 million tons." The people said that the company would do some precautions every year during the summer flood season, but the floods have come very sharply this year.  As far as he knows, the oil field may be shut down for 20, but the numbers may change over the next few days. Some wells to shut down because of its low geographical location, flood control difficulties, "such as Jiangsu oilfield, some of the wellhead location is only about 5 meters of elevation, the location is very bad." "But the person also said that many wells are still in production," our shut-in figures are not too big.  According to media reports, some of the oil wells in Jiangsu oilfield is at about 1.1 meters deep.  This reporter also learned that the Jiangsu oil field, the concentration of Yuhong District two places: one near Yangzhou, the other is located in the Hongze Lake, the Huai River entrance. "The reason for shutting down is not because the oil in the well is mixed with the floods, but because some of the key equipment in the well, such as motors, cannot be penetrated by water." The person said that the motor can not be soaked by water, otherwise the entire well will be paralyzed. So in order to flood, each oil well will put the motor on the 2-meter bracket.  But this time the flood is too large, the well must be closed, otherwise it will affect the normal operation. More than 130 wells have been closed near Puhe in the Shenyang oil area of PetroChina.
