Speed ​​up the progress of wellbore clearance

  At present, the life rescue channel has great difficulties, mainly at a location 350 away from the wellhead, where serious blockages are encountered, and air supply and drainage pipelines, power supply communication cables, etc. are intertwined and superimposed.

The construction space in the shaft is narrow and the cross-section of the cage is small, making it extremely difficult to clear the obstacles.

  Focusing on improving the speed of wellbore clearing, the headquarters adjusted the wellbore clearing plan, adding two stable vehicles, using a three-layer disk layout, the upper disk is used as a protection disk, the lower two disks are used as working disks, small debris is lifted by a cage, and large The sundries are directly lifted by the hook head. After the plan is implemented, the lifting speed and safety will be greatly improved.

  It is difficult to clean up the obstacles on the shaft wall restricting the lowering of the suspension plate. The rescuers are pushing forward with all efforts. The equipment and facilities such as the stabilizer and the overhead wheel, wire rope, bucket, and suspension plate have been installed. The wellhead lock beam has been removed, which affects the lowered shaft of the suspension plate. The upper obstacles are basically cleared, and the hanging pan has been lowered 210 meters away from the wellhead.

Air ducts, cables and signal cables are being erected.

The physical strength of underground miners gradually recovered

  Medical experts in psychology, nutrition, orthopedics, trauma, neurosurgery, etc. were gathered at the accident site.

There are 25 ambulances and more than 80 ambulance personnel on standby.

The rescue designated Qixia City People's Hospital and Qixia City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine as designated treatment hospitals, and Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital as the intensive care transfer hospital.

  On the evening of January 18, the trapped miners reported by phone that they wanted to eat pickles, millet porridge, ham and other foods.

Taking into account that the miners have just recovered their physical strength and should not eat hard food, medical experts decided to put in nutrient solution, millet porridge, probiotics and other foods at 9 o'clock on the 19th.

At the same time, a compressed insulation blanket was put in to keep the miners in the underground insulate.

In order to boost the confidence of the trapped miners, psychologists are also specially arranged to provide psychological counseling to the miners to avoid feelings of pessimism, impatience, and loss.

  In the next step, after experts from the National Health Commission arrive, the medical assistance plan will be re-optimized to learn more about the physical condition of each trapped miner, establish a separate health file, clarify what food to take, what medicine to use, and improve physical recovery.
