Chapter 601: Spring Festival 2004

……

The Spring Festival of 2004 was the second Spring Festival spent by Guo Shouyun in China. The memory of the Spring Festival in 04 has long been blurred in my mind in my previous life. Looking at it now, it also has a different flavor.

It's just that the sketch of Zhao Benshan he is looking forward to the most is not outstanding, but the word 'feelings' is enough to satisfy his fun. However, the sisters of the Ji family watched it with relish. It's just that because I still have to watch the children, I can't watch the whole party.

In addition, without Qiu Yanyun's oversized light bulb, Guo Shouyun's Spring Festival is also comfortable.

"Boss, this is tomorrow's schedule!"

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, after teasing the two little guys, he accompanied Ji Hong and Ji Zheng, and when he first arrived at the study, Wang Jue handed the document to him.

After a quick glance at one side, Guo Shouyun nodded.

"Has Prince Waleed's reception been arranged?"

"It has been arranged, the Presidential Suite at the Four Seasons. ”

"That's good!" Guo Shouyun nodded, and returned the document to Wang Jue, "Just do it according to this." ”

"Yes!"

"Remember to remind me tomorrow. ”

"Understood!"

"By the way, aren't you really going back this year?"

Wang Jue shook his head firmly, "I think they need the money in my pocket more, as for whether my daughter, who has been disgusted since childhood, can't go back, they won't care." ”

"Well, in that case, I don't have much to say, you are up to you in your own business. ”

Originally, Guo Shouyun also wanted to say that parents are parents after all, blood is thicker than water, and if you can forgive, you will forgive. But then I thought about it, I was not Wang Jue, and I hadn't experienced what it was like to be disliked from childhood to adulthood. Persuading people to forgive when they don't know the inside story is really a bit of a 'bad intention' and an extra move.

"Yes!"

Wang Jue nodded.

"I'm fine here, you can go back and rest" Guo Shouyun waved his hand.

After she left, Guo Shouyun turned on the computer, read the documents in the mailbox, and then picked up his mobile phone and called Jonathan Weil, CEO of Pacific Energy Group.

"Boss!"

"I saw your email, the matter of the Brazilian coastal gas pipeline has a result?"

"Yes!"

"Let's be specific. ”

"According to the final decision, the Brazilian coastal gas pipeline will run from Santa Maria to Porto Alegre, through Florianópolis, Curitiba, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Victoria, El Salvador, Aracaju, Maceio, Recife, Natal, Fortaleza and all the way to San Luis, with a total length of 4,500 kilometers, and the pipeline is designed to transport 12 billion cubic meters of gas per year, with a total investment of 4 billion US dollars and a construction period of six years. The supply will be provided by Unocal's natural gas fields in Bolivia, Shell's gas fields in Argentina, and Brazil's own gas fields. ”

"The contractor is a combination of Shell, Petrobras, and we, Pacific Energy. The project was financed by a consortium of Shell, Petrobras, Pacific Energy, ExxonMobil, BP, Chevron Texaco and PetroArgentina. Among them, we occupy 33.4% of the equity of the entire project with comprehensive investment such as investment, construction and gas supply, Petrobras occupies 27%, Shell occupies 21.6%, ExxonMobil occupies 8%, BP occupies 5.3%, Chevron Texaco accounts for 3%, and Petroarine accounts for 1.7%. ”

Guo Shouyun nodded, "This is the final plan?"

"There are still some details that have not been finalized, but if nothing else, this is the final plan. … Do you think there's something wrong?"

"There is no big problem. However, in addition to the main pipeline plan, why is there no construction plan for the auxiliary pipeline?"

"Because the amount of investment is too large, everyone agrees that the construction of the auxiliary pipeline will be completed after the construction of the main pipeline is completed and the normal operation is completed. ”

"I see... What about our own facilities? Did the Brazilian side agree?"

"Agreed. The expansion plan for the Campina power plant has been approved, and all that remains is to start construction. However, the construction of the Brazilian gas pipeline has not yet begun, and if we first increase the size of the Campina power plant to the design capacity of 1,150 megawatts, we will have to build another 100 kilometers of pipeline to obtain natural gas from the sea. ”

Guo Shouyun nodded, and after a moment of silence, "What is the installed capacity of the Campina Power Plant now?"

"220 megawatts!"

"Can you handle our distribution network?"

"We were able to meet it before, but Brazil is one of Pacific Energy's key markets, and our electricity distribution and retail network here has been expanding, and now we need to purchase electricity. In addition, Brazil's economy is growing, and the demand for electricity is growing. If we can't increase our power generation in time, I am afraid that it will affect our local credibility. ”

"What about buying a power plant?"

"We also have the idea of buying power plants. However, the vast majority of Brazil's domestic power plants are coal-fired power plants, and the construction time is too long, the technology is backward, the pollution is serious, the equipment maintenance cost is also very high, and the installed capacity is generally not high, so there is not much purchase value. If it is a power plant that has not been built for a long time, the price is generally higher. In contrast, it would be more cost-effective to expand our own power plant. ”

Guo Shouyun nodded knowingly.

"How much will it cost to build a 100-kilometer gas pipeline if a new pipeline is built?"

"About 5000~80 million US dollars!"

"This number is too high!" Guo Shouyun frowned.

"We have access to the municipal pipeline in Recife, which allows us to receive the benefits of domestic gas. Moreover, we have this part of the business ourselves. ”

"Make a report to me, and if there are no problems, do as you say. ”

"Yes!"

"Remember, the expansion of Pacific Energy, the expansion of the distribution and retail network is always ahead of the curve, and opening the market comes first, no matter what. ”

"Understood, as you say, 'channel is king'. ”

"It's good that you know... Well, Brazil is up to you. If there is any abnormality, please let me know in time. ”

"Yes!"

After hanging up the phone, Guo Shouyun took the mobile phone and muttered for a while, then found the phone number of Rebecca Mark, CEO of Unocal and dialed it.

"Boss. ”

"You know that negotiations on the Pacific Gas Pipeline are about to come to an end, right?"

"Yes. After all, Unocal provided the gas supply and was also involved in part of the negotiations. ”

Bolivia is rich in natural gas, so don't miss out on the opportunity, especially in the Santa Cruz region. ”

"I understand. However, the boss has recently changed the political situation in Bolivia, and the newly appointed President Evo Morales has repeatedly expressed his dissatisfaction with the situation that domestic oil and gas resources are controlled by large foreign companies. If nothing else, Bolivia will adopt a new decree to take back ownership of its oil and gas resources. ”

Guo Shouyun frowned, "There has been news coming out?"

"There is no official information yet, just some private rumors. However, Bolivia's underdeveloped economy, lack of financial means, and weak exploration and development technology will not really affect our control over oil and gas fields and the right to use oil and gas, even if we want to recover oil and gas resources, at most, to control and obtain the benefits of oil and gas exploitation. ”

"Don't jump to conclusions about things that don't work out. However, the focus on Bolivia's political situation and oil policy has been raised to a higher priority. ”

"Rest assured, I will pay close attention. ”

"What is the current state of exploration in the Santos Basin in Brazil?"

"Five wildcat wells have been drilled, but all of them are dry wells, and no oil and gas resources have been found!"

"Go on, more than 5,000 hectares of land, it's still early. ”

"Understood!"

"How is the Delaware Basin in Texas~State progressing now?"

"Last week we acquired 16 wells owned by Dex Oil, and now we have 1,320 hectares of exploration blocks in the Delaware Basin. ”

"Not bad!"
