Chapter 879;

The CEOs of Basskill Oil Company and Lukoil Company are obviously not entirely willing to sell their oil fields at low prices, and they have invited not only Huaxia Energy Trading Co., Ltd. and East-JM Investment Company, but also Japan's Keyo Oil Co., Ltd. and Britain's BP Company.

Of course, the two companies contacted Mayoni privately: "Those two companies are just the ones we invited to accompany the bid, in order to appease our domestic counterparts, so that they don't accuse us of bad prices." You can rest assured, as long as your price is not too much lower than theirs, we will definitely sell the oil field to you. ”

Whether this is true or false, it is the benevolent who sees the benevolent and the wise who sees the wise.

Now that they have made up their minds, it is their business what Bassskill Oil Company and Lukoil will do in the end, Jiang Xinwei decided to go on his own steps.

Receiving the bid, making the bid, and then it is to hand in the bid and wait for the bid to be opened!

Before filling out the bid, Jiang Xinwei had a phone call with Mayoni to discuss the purchase price of the bid.

In this tender, Bassskill and Lukoil have clearly indicated the amount of storage in their respective fields, and the companies participating in the bidding only need to fill in the amount according to these reserves.

According to Mayoni's idea, this amount should be filled as little as possible, and after estimating the approximate prices of Japan's Keyo Oil Co., Ltd. and Britain's BP company, her prices will be lowered a little more. Because she thinks that even if the tender is not successful and the fields fall into the hands of Japan's Keyo Oil Co., Ltd. or the British company BP, they will still have a chance to buy them in the future.

With the oil pipelines already under construction, and with East-JM Investments' ties to Russia, it is not difficult to squeeze these two companies.

But Jiang Xinwei thinks that this time it will be done in one step, even if it costs some more money. As for squeezing or something in the future, it's too troublesome. It is difficult to grasp the future political situation in Russia, and it is even more difficult to bring these unknown troubles into it.

Of course, what Jiang Xinwei didn't tell her was that the future oil price would be far more than the current price. The price of crude oil will rise to a level she cannot imagine, from a dozen dollars a barrel now, to more than $100 a barrel in a few years, and at a peak of $145. Almost ten times more than now!

In addition to the rise in oil prices, Jiang Xinwei also took into account the progress of oil recovery technology in the future.

It is precisely because of the consideration of technological progress that Jiang Xinwei is willing to spend a little more money to get the oil field firmly in his hands.

At present, whether it is Russia or other countries, when calculating the reserves of oil fields, they all calculate the oil reserves that they can exploit. In other words, the Russians are calculating the amount of crude oil they can produce if these fields were now being exploited by Russian oil workers.

Anyone who knows about oil production knows that Russia is the country with no shortage of oil in the world. They basically only carry out primary oil recovery, and at most carry out secondary oil recovery, that is, most of the underground crude oil is sprayed out by its own pressure, or pumped out by pumping units, and now there will be no tertiary oil recovery at all.

Not to mention that Russia does not have the technology to carry out tertiary oil recovery now, even if it does, they do not want to spend too much cost.

In fact, even in oil-deficient countries such as Europe, the tertiary oil recovery technology is not mature and has not been applied on a large scale.

The cost of these two levels of mining is relatively low and the profit is high.

However, if only primary and secondary oil recovery are carried out, only 30 to 40 percent of the geological reserves can be extracted, and 60 to 70 percent are not extracted. This is still the case in oil-poor countries, and there is more oil that is not extracted in Russia and in Middle Eastern countries.

Because during the secondary oil production, the pumping unit not only pumps oil from the ground, but also pumps out water. In China or other oil-deficient countries, even if the crude oil pumped out contains 80 percent water, it will not give up, and the oil-water separation will be carried out after it is pumped up.

However, oil-rich countries such as Russia will not do this, because the cost of oil is too high when there is too much water, and it consumes electricity when pumping oil and man-hours when separating. They usually don't want to see that the water content in the oil is more than 50 or 60 percent, because there is no shortage of oil. They would rather go to another place to drill a well and let the high-quality crude oil from the ground be spewed out and pumped into the tanker for a lot of money, simple and affordable.

Therefore, these oil fields in Russia will definitely get much larger crude oil than the Russians expected, and they will never waste the oil underground as easily as they do.

In particular, with the development of oil extraction technology, in more than ten years, the three-stage oil recovery technology by injecting hot steam or chemicals will play a role, and in the future, the technology will be able to extract the crude oil under the ground cleanly, and even the oil beads hidden in the rock can be replaced.

In the eyes of the Russians now, a well may only be able to produce one million tons, but in the hands of the Chinese, especially in a dozen years, it may be able to extract three or four million tons or even tens of millions of tons.

In addition, there is a treasure in the oil field that can make money, and not many people want it now, not only no one wants it, but they also treat it as a burden, that is, the "waste" buried in the ground with crude oil - natural gas!

Although some people use it as a raw material for fertilizer factories to make ammonia, its use is still very narrow, most of the time it is burned as exhaust gas, and large torches are erected everywhere in the field.

It won't be long before they're treasures.

Through pipes, they can enter thousands of homes for people to cook, stir-fry, and boil water. It not only facilitates the lives of the people, but also saves a lot of coal and wood for the country, and can greatly reduce people's damage to the environment.

If you combine the rise in crude oil prices with technological advances, the value of oil fields could rise 50 or 60 times more than they do now. Invest $100 million now, and in a few years you could reap $5 billion, $6 billion!

It is precisely because of these considerations that Jiang Xinwei thinks that he should spend more money now and spend more small money to get big money in the future. Just like speculating in the stock market, some shrewd people judge that a certain stock is going to rise, and would rather spend money to buy some first, and it doesn't matter if the stock hedges themselves.

Mayoni smiled and asked, "How did you suddenly become so imperative?"

Since you said that you can ensure that Russia will not forcibly take back their oil fields in the future, then of course I have to think farther, and I don't care whether I will spend tens of millions of dollars more or $100 million or $200 million more. ”

Mayoni asked in surprise, "Even if it costs an extra $200 million, would you be willing?"

Jiang Xinwei snorted and said, "It's best to invite media reporters." By making this tender public, we want everyone to know that our offer is not higher than that of the Japanese and British, and even more than the price set by the Russians themselves. ”
