“Is vibrator group A ready ? Please tell the observer……”
“Group B vibrator is not in the right position, turn right and move 5 meters, watch the vibrator center of gravity……”
This was the voice of Djarallah Youcef, an Algerian instrument observer of Sinopec 3307, a seismic crew of Sinopec Geophysical Corporation’s Huabei Company, conducting TOUAL project in Algeria, who was sending his instructions to the field operators in the Sahara desert on the airwaves. This was also one of the most familiar voices to Sinopec 3307’s field staff. But, Djarallah Youcef was still a radioman in the radio room just one year ago.
“I was quite anxious when I just started my practices as an instrument observer, because I found myself fumbling with it at the beginning. But I had not given in and worked very hard on it by both reading and practicing. Fortunately, I always get help and tutorials from my workmates.” Djarallah Youcef said about his learning experiences. Indeed, his diligence was really much applauded by his mates.
Tang Dongyang, a Chinese instrument observer, was Djarallah Youcef’s tutor. Tang spoke highly of Djarallah Youcef’s efforts to be an instrument observer, “Before he started to have a systematic theory learning on this subject, he was sent to do practices in vibrator group, line group and survey group for a period of time. Although he got many problems in the real practices, he took great initiatives and patience in writing every problem down on his notebook and working out the solutions with me.”
Finally, his efforts paid off. Now, Djarallah Youcef has become a key player among the instrument observers. “In his vocation time, he has designed a computer program with Microsoft Office Excel, whereby any indeliberately skipped shot on the line can be quickly identified upon when it has received the observer report file.” Tang Dongyang was satisfied with Djarallah Youcef’s good work performance.
At present, Djarallah Youcef is very confident about his future. “It is a lucky and happy thing to work with Sinopec to do the geophysical exploration in my hometown. I will keep on going forward.” He said.
非洲小伙当上操作员

“A组震源到位了吗？到位后请主动报给仪器……”
“B组震源不在炮点正点位置，向右移动5米，注意震源组合中心点……”
在地球物理华北分公司阿尔及利亚TOUAL项目SINOPEC3307队撒哈拉沙漠施工现场，会时常听到阿尔及利亚籍仪器操作员扎拉安拉乎·尤斯夫在电台里指挥生产的声音。
可就在2015年，扎拉安拉乎·尤斯夫还只是地球物理华北分公司阿尔及利亚N.BOG项目SINOPEC3316队电台室的一名电台员。
“刚开始在仪器操作岗位实习，我的心理压力比较大，有时候早上4点多就醒了。因为其它仪器操作员入门速度比我快，感觉自己特别笨。但是我没有放弃，每天就像上楼梯或者爬山一样，不懂就问，平时一边实践一边拿着仪器操作说明书钻研。”扎拉安拉乎·尤斯夫的勤奋好学让人赞叹。
中方仪器操作员唐东阳是扎拉安拉乎·尤斯夫的培训导师，“在学习理论之前，我安排扎拉安拉乎·尤斯夫去震源班、线班和测量班实习。他有什么疑问或者问题，都会记录在本子上，然后一个个的问我。”唐东阳回忆着。
如今，扎拉安拉乎·尤斯夫已成长为仪器操作员中的主力。“他利用休假的时间，用EXCEL表格自编了一个小程序，只要导入仪器输出的OBS文件，就可以快速准确地查看是否有漏炮。”唐东阳说。
谈到未来，扎拉安拉乎·尤斯夫炯炯有神的眼睛里透着睿智与自信。“能够跟着Sinopec在家乡附近勘探石油，真是一件幸福的事情，我会继续努力。”
