For companies with insufficient financial resources, there is no difference between three-year exploration rights and five-year exploration rights, and they may withdraw in less than three years because the chain is broken due to too much capital investment during exploration. Ｘ

However, for large companies with strong financial resources, as long as they are sure that there is really oil underground, they will not drill oil for two days in one day, two months if they do not drill oil in a month, two years if there is no oil in one year, and five or ten years if there is no oil in three years, anyway, until the oil is dug up.

It's hard to figure out the situation underground, but what Lao Tzu has is money, Lao Tzu is drilling exploration wells densely, drilling a well every kilometer, and drilling shallow and deep exploration wells one after another, Lao Tzu can't believe that he can't find you!

To be rich is to be capricious!

It is only natural that such a big oil company wants to have exploration rights for as long as possible.

Feixun Group is not short of money, so it is naturally happy that the Saudi side has given a five-year exploration right period.

Zhong Chonghuan moved his finger to the following clause and said: "Article 2 of the fifth paragraph of the contract stipulates that we have the right to mine for 32 years. ”

Jiang Xinwei was stunned for a moment and asked, "How long is it? How many years is it generally, and does this period include the five-year exploration right period?"

Tao Guoshui said on behalf of the lawyer: "This is the big discount they gave us. Generally internationally, it is twenty to thirty years, and of course there is also the contract of the century signed between Azerbaijan and the British, which is also thirty-two years. These two time frames do not overlap, and together we can mine here for thirty-seven years, two years longer than the British company BP in Azerbaijan. …… , this clause is good, but I don't know how many years of crude oil in it is enough for us to mine. If it only takes five years or ten years to finish the harvest, such a long period of time is meaningless. ”

Wang Jianyun said: "That's not necessarily. Isn't there a primary, secondary, and tertiary oil recovery now? Maybe in the future, with the development of science and technology, there will be four more oil productions. A long time is better than a short time. ”

The so-called first oil production is the simplest way to extract oil, fortunately the underground crude oil because of the high pressure, the drill bit drilled down, the underground crude oil gushed away like tap water, and the oil company only needs to install pipelines to connect the oil. Generally, an oil extractor, such as a kowtow machine, is used to pump oil up from the ground at once.

This method of oil recovery is less costly and produces less oil, about 20 to 30 percent of the oil. The oil fields of Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern countries basically adopt this method, and the cost of a barrel of oil is generally less than ten US dollars, and some even only two US dollars.

The second oil recovery is a little more complicated. When the oil extractor cannot pump oil, fresh water is injected into the ground to squeeze out the crude oil inside. The pumping unit extracts an oil-water mixture, which needs to be separated from oil and water, which is costly. This method is more costly, about $15 to $20. This is the case with most of China's oil fields.

The third oil recovery is even more complicated. In the case that the oil cannot be pumped out by injecting fresh water, the method of injecting water vapor or chemical substances is adopted to dilute or chemically react the crude oil condensed underground into fluids, or even fracturing oil-containing stones to replace the crude oil inside.

This kind of cost is very high, the cost of a barrel can be as high as forty or fifty dollars, and when the price of oil is low, at most one test can be done, and only when the price of oil exceeds fifty dollars can it be profitable.

In any case, a long oil production period is definitely better than a short period, which can indeed be said to be Saudi Arabia's preferential treatment to Feixun Group.

Jiang Xinwei nodded and asked lawyer Zhong Chonghuan, "Are there any other important discounts?"

Zhong Chonghuan said: "There is another one that is more important, and the other can also be said to be a small discount. The most important thing is that we can use the terminals and pipelines that we have built, and the Saudi Arabia allows us to build large oil storage depots near the terminals. As for the small concession, it means that the communication of this oil field can be solved by ourselves, and the Saudi side allows us to connect the telecommunications signal to their public telephone network and the Internet. ”

Jiang Xinwei said with a smile: "This is indeed a small discount, in the future, our construction team and oil workers can use the telecommunication network we have installed ourselves to make calls and surf the Internet, and the cost will definitely be low." Anything else?"

Allowing Feixun to install telecommunications equipment and communication networks here looks like a bull's fork, but in fact there is not much benefit, even if the cost and maintenance costs of the telecommunications equipment itself are not calculated, the annual savings in phone bills and Internet access fees are less than one million US dollars, after all, there are not many Chinese people living here, unless Saudi Arabia allows the Feixun Group to install telephones, sell mobile phones, and collect phone bills to nearby Saudis.

Zhong Chonghuan also smiled and said, "The Saudi side allows us to rent a piece of land and build our own living area. Locals are not allowed to enter, except for the police who maintain order. In this living area, we can live according to our own Chinese lifestyle and living habits. ”

Jiang Xinwei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is better than the last small discount." At least it doesn't feel awkward for the people we live here. ”

Seeing that there was indeed no problem with the contract, Jiang Xinwei slept with confidence.

The next day, Jiang Xinxu once again felt the luxury of Prince Sayyafman.

The four princes actually dispatched four private jets decorated with golden decorations. Each prince had a group of servants and bodyguards, with their own health doctors and cooks.

Escorted by two Air Force fighter jets, four luxurious private jets flew all the way west into the African state of Suyadan, which borders Libya, and the two fighters did not return until the border of the Suyadan. And these four luxury private jets continue to fly, finally landing at a medium-sized airport.

In Jiang Xinwei's view, this airport is likely to be invested and built by Saudi princes, because it is impossible to have the money to build such a good airport in this poor country, and the architecture of the airport is incompatible with the cities and houses in the distance, and there is a great contrast between people from two different worlds.

He reckoned that a single floor tile would be enough for the poor to build several thatched huts in the distance.

As soon as they got off the plane, they didn't stay at the luxurious airport exit for a few minutes, and then they got on a group of luxury convoys that had been waiting here for a long time to pick them up, and more than 40 luxury cars drove along the road into the vast grassland.

Zhou Jianliang looked at the lush and flat grassland outside the window and sighed: "It's really comfortable." Lao Tzu wants to live such a comfortable day and die without regrets. ”

Xu Jianhu next to him smiled: "Wait a minute, you can die." Today is the day of the princes. ”

The princes were familiar with the road, and after the convoy had driven for more than an hour, and after reaching into the grassland for nearly a hundred kilometers, they began to disperse, each rushing to the hunting area that had been assigned before.

Prince Sayyafman and a young prince named Talal are in a group.

Jiang Xinwei was naturally in this group, and as soon as the largest convoy stopped, Prince Sayyafman personally gave Jiang Xinwei a double-barreled shotgun, a bullet belt, and a scimitar. Holding the shotgun, Jiang Xinwei secretly took a breath of cold air: Nima, this shotgun and scimitar are actually inlaid with precious jewels and diamonds, and even the bullets used in the shotgun are plated with gold.

With them, Jiang Xinwei felt that he was an old man and a poor boy.

Looking at the glittering golden bullet stuck in the bullet belt, he thought to himself: "As for the bullet, as soon as the trigger is pulled, the bullet flies away, and the cartridge casing also falls to the ground. ”

What is a little more normal is that only Jiang Xinwei has shotguns and scimitars inlaid with jewels and diamonds, although Zhou Jianliang and Xu Jianhu also have shotguns and scimitars, but their servants have sent them, although the shotguns are also high-grade shotguns, but they are not inlaid with jewels and diamonds.

"Hi, hello, ginger. I'm Talal!" Jiang Xinxu was checking the jewel shotgun when the young prince, who was a few years younger than Sasayevman, walked over and held out his hand to him.

Jiang Xinxu shook his hand and beckoned, "Hello, Prince Talal." ”

Prince Talal asked, "Will you use this fancy shotgun?"

Jiang Xinwei pulled the bolt open and pushed it on, and said, "I haven't used it." You don't need to learn this thing, do you, though?"

Prince Talal smiled and said, "But you have to learn to aim at your prey. There are man-eating lions here. You can't shoot indiscriminately, or the lion will bite you and you won't be able to load the bullets. ”

Jiang Xinwei smiled confidently: "As long as there are bullets, the lion can't get close to me." I'll kill one of them, and we'll have meat to eat if we come to two. ”

Talal glanced at Sayyafman, then turned to Jiang Xinwei and asked, "You are so powerful, you won't be more accurate than your bodyguard's marksmanship, right?"

Jiang Xinxu said: "Almost. As long as I fire a few shots and get familiar with it, it's fine. ”

Talal said happily, "Great. How about we have a game? Brother, you will be the referee!"

Sayevman asked rhetorically: "Why am I here to be the referee for you? We are divided into three groups, each group has three guns and three vehicles, and from now on we will divide into three directions, and we will count the prey by this time tomorrow, and whoever has more prey will win." How?"

Before Jiang Xinxu could answer, Talal said loudly: "Great! What is the reward for winning?"

Sayevman smiled: "Jiang, are you interested in betting?"

Jiang Xinwei was sure enough to win, although the three of them were only hunting for the first time, so they didn't refuse, but asked rhetorically: "The two who lose pay a million dollars to win, is it enough?"

Talal hurriedly shook his head and said, "Not enough, not enough, at least...... If you win, our brothers will give you a private jet. If you lose, you come up with $200 million. How's that? fair?"

Sayevman looked at Jiang Xinwei with a smile,
