"Converted nuclear submarines??"

In recent years, Xiong Weixin has felt more and more that after things are in the hands of Liang Yuan, they are always developing towards unimaginable trends.

"Such a big thing, why didn't Xiaoyuan report it?"

Xiong Weixin raised his hand and pointed to the roof.

"What is there to say about scrapped things, and the proposal to acquire nuclear submarines was not put forward by Yuanjia, this plan was completely made up by the Norwegians, Liu Wenyue listened to the development report of the technical department in the technical department of the Subsea 7 company, only then did he know that before our acquisition, the Norwegian side and the Soviet Union had inquired about relevant matters. ”

In the early nineties, with the development of deep-sea oil production technology, a large-scale underwater workstation was proposed in the field of marine engineering.

Generally speaking, offshore drilling platforms only solve the problem of exploration drilling and oil field drilling, and the real resource extraction is a very large underwater production system.

A qualified offshore oilfield production area includes subsea wellheads, subsea Christmas trees, subsea manifolds and straddle pipes, umbilical cables, subsea pressurization and separation equipment, control and monitoring equipment, production risers, and more.

The oil and gas resources extracted by the underwater production system not only mix crude oil and natural gas together, but also contain a great amount of water, and the water content of oil wells in the later stage of oil field exploitation often exceeds 80%, while the water content of standard crude oil in industrial applications is not higher than 5%.

Even in the new century, the underwater processing module for fully automatic separation and treatment of oil and gas resources has not yet been fully matured, so the compound oil storage and offloading (FPSO) similar to a supertanker has become the only technical option.

The oil and gas resources extracted from the subsea production system are dehydrated by FPSO, and after the natural gas is separated, the processed crude oil is pumped into the oil storage tank through the metering device, and the crude oil is transported back to land by shuttle tankers.

Offshore oil production is similar to that on land, that is, in the oilfield area is constantly drilling, on land this matter is very simple, a kowtow machine, a section of pipeline directly done, in the sea this matter is greatly improved.

The drilling platform made a hole and patted the ass and left, the wellhead was built underwater, the pipeline was laid, the first oil and gas separation equipment was installed, and various valve controls and other underwater work were carried out by auxiliary support vessels.

Completing more oil wells per unit of time means lower costs, more production and more money, but the biggest difference between the sea and land is that seasonal typhoons have caused great trouble to normal production and construction, and this is how nuclear submarines have entered the field of vision of marine engineers.

In Norway's Subsea 7 company's development plan, it is planned to completely underwater the construction support ship system of the floating production system.

In addition to avoiding the impact of weather problems, the proximity to the working face can bring faster construction speed, lower construction accident rate, less consumables, and most importantly, more profit for business owners.

The construction cost of offshore oil wells is as much as 40,000 to 60,000 yuan/meter, and the construction cost of an oil well or gas well is basically 100 million yuan, and it is very common to spend 200 million or 300 million yuan to build an oil well, and the underwater workstation rebuilt by a nuclear submarine has a great advantage in saving construction costs.

Liang Yuan, who had a ghost in his heart, told Xiong Weixin in detail about the ins and outs of the nuclear submarine to an underwater workstation, and first dressed himself up as a flawless white lotus.

"A well for offshore oil exploration actually costs hundreds of millions of yuan, and Yuanjia won't lose money in offshore oil exploitation, right?"

Xiong Weixin asked with some concern.

At this time, the international oil price was less than 30 US dollars, and judging from the international average exploitation cost of offshore oil in the 80s, there was no less than 32 US dollars.

In the field of oil and gas exploitation, the cost of each barrel of crude oil can be divided into three parts: exploration cost, exploitation cost, and other costs other than exploitation cost, which is mainly depreciation of various equipment and facilities.

The cost of exploration refers to the fact that the resource exploration team is armed with various metaphysics, drilling holes everywhere on the earth, and if it is right, it will make a fortune, and if it is wrong, it will be over.

Generally speaking, large oil groups like Shell, BP, and Mobil spend as much as 10 billion US dollars every year, most of which is equivalent to throwing it into the water, and only a very small amount of money can find commercially valuable results, the most typical example is the history of the discovery of the Daqing oil field in the Republic.

This amortization has resulted in high exploration costs in the fields, with $15 to $20 per barrel of oil on land and $25 to $35 per barrel of oil on the sea.

The production cost of crude oil is equivalent to determining the production of the oil field, and all kinds of personnel on various equipment begin to move the oil out of the ground, when all the equipment and personnel are in place, they begin to transport the oil from the ground to the surface, and all the costs incurred in the process of completing this are the cost of exploitation, which is slightly more expensive at sea than on the ground, and the cost of surface exploitation has remained at about five US dollars per barrel throughout the nineties, and the cost of offshore mining has remained at about six US dollars per barrel

Other costs are the depreciation of investment in various exploitation equipment and facilities, if we take marine exploitation as a reference, generally the reserves allocated to small and medium-sized oil fields are roughly maintained at eight US dollars per barrel to twelve US dollars, and if they are allocated to large or giant oil fields, it is likely to drop to one or two US dollars.

As long as the international oil price is higher than six US dollars per barrel, as long as the oil field does not stop production, there will be a steady stream of profits, which is also the key factor that the OPEC organization gradually disintegrates in the future and does not have the appeal, the US shale gas and the Siberian oil field of Lao Maozi cannot be killed.

Once the equipment of the oil field is built, even if the international oil price falls to the record low of nine US dollars a barrel after World War II, it will be a profitable business for the oil-producing countries that own the oil fields.

For Leung, the very high cost of exploration in the oil industry is nothing more than a circle drawn with a finger on a map, and the cost is completely negligible.

The reserves of the Liwan oil and gas field can be regarded as a large oil and gas field, and if the offshore oil equipment considered can be easily moved with the production site, the cost of Yuanjia's oil and gas extraction in the South China Sea will not exceed 12 US dollars per barrel.

Based on the current international oil price of 27 US dollars per barrel, it is completely a rolling profit.

"Uncle Wilson, if you don't ask, I won't say it, and I'll tell you a top-secret news, at the end of last month, the Earth Explorer drilling ship leased by Subsea 7 drilled a high-yield gas well in the Pearl River Estuary Basin in the South China Sea, about 300 kilometers away from Hong Kong, according to the report sent by Subsea 7, there is likely to be a super-large-scale natural gas field group in the area. ”

More than two years have passed since someone clamored for the development of oil and gas resources in the South China Sea, and there have been two wars around someone's big ideal, and now it is finally harvest season.

In the past two years, although Yuanjia has not made high-intensity investment in the offshore oil field, it has not stopped continuous investment, and the two sides have cooperated in the offshore oil field before the acquisition of Norway's Subsea 7 underwater operation company.

At the beginning, after the battle of Nansha, the organization was very particular about throwing Liang Yuan two small offshore oil fields with reserves of 10 million tons, and the development plan of this small oil field was made by Subsea 7.

After receiving a gift from the organization, someone with a bad idea retreated from a less difficult oil field, and instead chose to pull all the blocks with and without spectrum 200 to 400 kilometers south of the Pearl River estuary into the bowl.

At that time, Xiong Weixin also asked Liang Yuan the reason, and someone said extremely pretending to be 13 The ocean area of this planet is far larger than the land, and some things have to be done by someone and someone else has to think about it in advance, either me or someone else.

However, Liang Yuan also put a lot of thought into the Liwan gas field in order to put it on the bright side, and the domestic offshore oil construction and exploration team did not have the ability to work in the sea area below the water depth of 1,000 meters, and the countries with this deep-sea operation capability were only Britain, France, the United States, the Soviet Union, and Norway, which were quite developed in the future, and South Korea and Singapore, which were quite developed in marine engineering equipment in later generations, did not leave the category of novice villages for the time being.

Although the Republic is limited to technical capabilities and cannot be exploited, there is still no problem in carrying out geological exploration, Liang Yuan waved his pen to see what kind of land he enclosed in the name of what it looks like, first rented a marine metaphysics, ah, it is a marine scientific research research ship to conduct a large-scale scientific survey of the plot of land under the Yuanjia circle, to study whether the geological structure has the characteristics of oil and gas storage fields.

The block encircled by Liangyuan has a scientific name in geography, called the Pearl River Estuary Basin.

In a broad sense of geographical location, the Pearl River Estuary Basin is located between 113°10'-118°00'E longitude and 18°30'-23°30'N, which is a rectangular area with a length of 800 kilometers from east to west and a width of 400 kilometers from north to south, with an area of more than 200,000 square kilometers in the entire basin, which is equivalent to the size of Hunan Province of the Republic, and the basin is subordinate to a large Cenozoic-dominated sedimentary basin on the continental shelf and slope in the northern part of the South China Sea, with a sedimentary rock thickness of more than 10,000 meters.

Finding an oil field in such a large area is similar to the development of Daqing in District 11 of that year, and it is basically a matter of finding a needle in a haystack, but the reason why Liang Yuan never forgets the Liwan oil and gas field is that Liang Yuan accurately knows that the Liwan gas field is located in the 29/26 contract block (19°54'43.4"N, 115°24'54.4"E) located in the Pearl River Estuary Basin of the South China Sea, with a block area of about 3,965km.

When Liwan was put into production, Liang Yuan was playing flight simulation, and at that time, there was a forum technology expert who planned to make a MOD for offshore missions with the offshore oil and gas fields of the Republic as the background, and Liang Yuan did some peripheral work for this MOD, and the accurate latitude and longitude of the Liwan oil and gas field was recorded at that time.

Generally speaking, the basin structure is easy to deposit coal, oil, natural gas and other resources, and obviously has the objective environment for the formation of oil and gas fields.

After a round of investigation, in order to prove the value of the existence of marine scientific research research vessels, the report handed in naturally wrote that from the direction of geological structure, the Pearl River Basin has a physical environment for the generation of large-scale oil and gas fields~~~~A lot of them.

But whether it is true or false, whether it has mining value depends on whether the owner has krypton gold verification.
