Chapter 18: The Sea of Stars (18)

"Ahh

"How is this possible? When was this happening?"

"Is the South China Sea really out of oil and gas? Why didn't Xiaoyuan reveal anything about such a big thing?"

Listening to Liang Yuan's understatement of the discovery of a large-scale gas field in the South China Sea, Xiong Weixin felt extremely unbelievable, and blurted out a series of questions.

Before Liang Yuan could speak, hearing Xiong Weixin mention the discovery of a large oil and gas field in the South China Sea, the two girls suddenly laughed irrepressibly.

"Uncle Wilson, it's not that the South China Sea discovered the gas field is far from not saying, but it should not have figured out how to tell everyone so that it can be less funny, and in order to continue to maintain someone's good precocious image. ”

Ning Wanfei dragged her chin with her little hand, propped her arms on the table, and her apricot eyes were bent into a pair of good-looking crescents, obviously happy.

"Didn't Fei Fei say that it was better not to say it first?" Liang Yuan sighed and said a little helplessly.

"Pig head, the news was revealed by yourself first, and of course the agreement with your sister is invalid. Ning Wanjia was very rare to help Ning Wanfei mend the knife on the side.

Xiong Weixin looked at the three of them very suspiciously, and felt as if things were going in some unimaginable direction.

"Uncle Wilson, this matter has to start with the Sino-Norwegian Joint South China Sea Geological Survey Team. ”

Looking at Xiong Weixin's head full of question marks, Ning Wanjia held back a smile and began to explain the ins and outs of the matter with a good conscience.

In fact, the document submitted by the Sino-Norwegian joint South China Sea marine geological expedition team is just a very macro thing, just a general description of the fact that there must be resources under the land we turned, and it is recommended that the owner dig two wells in the following areas (at least tens of thousands of square kilometers) to try, the implication is that if the soul kryptonite changes his life, he will not directly make a fortune and become well-off.

In the field of petroleum and energy in the past two years, Yuanjia has arranged no less than seven or eight geological survey teams and scientific research teams through domestic and foreign channels, through different people such as Liang Haiping, Qi Lianshan, Liu Wenyue, etc., and the various reports and materials formed are not less than one person high.

The final conclusions of all the reports are summarized here by Liang Yuan, and it can be said that no one except Liang Yuan can see the overall situation and know what the situation of Yuanjia's investigation of the South China Sea is really about.

Of course, this seemingly chaotic situation is simply for someone's convenience to stuff private goods, otherwise Liang Yuanzhen would not be able to explain how the detailed coordinates of the Liwan gas field came from.

Drilling in the sea area with an average water depth of up to 1,000 meters, the cost of a well is at least 100 million yuan, although Yuanjia is not short of cash, but there are also a lot of places to use money, Liang Yuan is not rich enough to dig wells everywhere and pretend to touch the probability.

Because the Sino-Norwegian joint scientific expedition team suggested that the area for drilling and investigation had already included the scope of the Liwan gas field, Liang Yuan really closed his eyes and poked a few times with his pen on the map of the South China Sea of 1:200,000 yuan.

On a map of 1:200,000, the size of the area clicked by the tip of the pen is also several square kilometers, not to mention the difference of several kilometers for drilling, and sometimes the difference of several hundred meters may be the difference between oil production and non-oil.

The key kryptonite block encircled by the Sino-Norwegian joint scientific expedition team in the South China Sea is an area of about 50,000 square kilometers from 114 degrees to 116 degrees east longitude and 18 degrees to 20 degrees north latitude, which just occupies a quarter of the geological structure area of the entire Pearl River Estuary Basin, in other words, one-third the size of Liaoning.

This is a coarse report in the normal field of geological exploration, and generally speaking, this report is just the basic key to open a long-term, large-scale geological exploration.

If according to the international practice, first list a billion-level exploration budget, spend three to five years, slowly lock in the area where the resources are located, and then come to the link of opening the intensive kryptonite mode, that is to say, the pre-budget of one billion dollars is just qualified for kryptonite, if everything goes well in the early exploration, with high-intensity investment, another billion-dollar level of drilling budget is thrown into it to reach the final link of whether the oil can be produced according to the pre-anticipated plan.

Of course, if there are no large-scale oil and gas fields, but a group of small oil and gas fields with little extraction value, it can basically be judged that krypton gold has failed in the field of offshore oil exploration, and hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars of budget have been wasted.

The Sino-Norwegian joint geological survey team sent an investigation report to the owner in accordance with international practice, so as to know whether the owner decided to start the next step, how can we know that the owner is actually a cheating person.

At that time, the twins looked at someone squinting their eyes and muttering about the spirit of heaven and earth, and the spirit of the earth, and the urgency of being like a law~~pardon~, and then poking a pen on the map, and they were already laughing.

At that time, Liang Yuanzhen said eloquently, anyway, the beginning of the next accurate investigation must start with the first exploration well, and it is better to get it yourself than to let others be blinded.

Ning Wanfei always squeezed Liang Yuan and mentioned that since someone wants to drill the first well by himself, he must determine the exact location on the map, lest the first well not be drilled and someone shirks the responsibility, after all, there are hundreds of square kilometers on the large-scale map.

What Ning Wanfei said was simply natural for Liang Yuan, and after a few words, Liang Yuan decided to find out the precise location of the Liwan gas field in his memory.

Thinking about the specific coordinates of the Liwan gas field at 19°54'43.4"N north latitude and 115°24'54.4"E longitude, and looking at the area of the block near 19 degrees north latitude and 115 degrees east longitude on the map, Liang Yuan rolled his eyes and a good idea came to him.

Pick up the phone and ask Zhou Heng to send in five dice commonly used to play mahjong, anyway, there is no number greater than 6 in the next step, the exact coordinates of the Liwan gas field are said to be thrown by himself, and after the truth of the matter is revealed in the future, this kind of move can only make the taste of the legend on his body stronger.

After getting the dice, Liang Yuan first drove away Zhou Heng, who was trying to watch the excitement, and then shamelessly used the reason that he was stared at by two beautiful, cute, gentle and considerate young ladies, and was a little shy about throwing the dice, so that the two girls turned their heads for twenty seconds first, and then threw the five dice twice in a row with their hands and feet.

After Liang Yuan completed all the cheating links, the final execution was taken over by Qi Lianshan, and Liang Yuan did not hide it from Qi Lianshan, and told him about the bet he made with Yuanjia to officially open the first well of oil and gas drilling in the South China Sea and the two girls.

Then, in order to deepen the impression of Qilianshan, so as not to make any mistakes and forks in the way, Liang Yuan emphasized with a serious face that Qilianshan must give up all the suggestions given by the professional side and ensure that the coordinates he wrote out were used as the first operation goal of the drilling team.

Even Liang Yuan also pointed out that Yuanjia at this time is no longer a sole proprietorship, the members of the Yuanjia Conference and the backbone of scientific research are already one of the many shareholders of Yuanjia, in order to ensure that the interests of all people are not harmed, Liang Yuan can be privately funded to be responsible for the costs incurred by the first drilling.

Although Liang Yuan said so, but not counting Liang Haiping, twins and others in Yuanjia's cross-shareholding, only someone himself controls more than seventy percent of Yuanjia's shares, Yuanjia is only nominally not a private wholly-owned enterprise, how could Qi Lianshan let Liang Yuan pay another money.

In order to ensure the implementation of Liang Yuan's decision, Qi Lianshan, who had taken the matter to heart, urgently purchased a spot BO105 extended-range utility helicopter from MBB Helicopters, a partner of the Federal Republic of Germany, through CMB Aerospace, to travel between the drilling platform in the Liwan area and Hong Kong.

At the beginning of March, shortly after the Lunar New Year of the Republic of China, in the eastern part of the South China Sea, which was named the Liwan Exploration Block, as the owner's plenipotentiary representative, Qi Lianshan pressed down countless professional proposals, and after repeatedly checking the precise coordinates given by Liang Yuan through the Global Ocean Satellite Positioning System, Qi Lianshan personally started the drilling bit of the drilling platform.

Then, a month passed in a flickering time, and then, the natural gas that had been in the underground high-pressure environment for hundreds of millions of years ran wildly along the low-pressure pipeline that suddenly appeared one day, and after hundreds of millions of years, before I had time to see the blue sky and white clouds after a long absence, it instantly turned into a large flaming flame.

On the offshore drilling platform that has been named Liwan, including Qilian Mountain, which rushed from Hong Kong, everyone was completely stunned as they watched the fierce flames ejected from the port of the platform's gas recovery pipeline.
