In an oil field, the initial exploration well is the most difficult, and the "wildcat well" is basically a random selection, and the oil production is equivalent to winning the lottery. Under normal circumstances, one out of ten wildcat wells can be considered happy, but whether it is success or failure, the second exploration well can greatly improve the probability of success, and the third and fourth wells are the same.

The old masters in the research institute are doing this kind of use, Shengli Oilfield has drilled more than 20,000 oil wells, of course, it is impossible for every well to be as difficult as an exploration well, on the contrary, the oil wells in the later stage of the oilfield are very low in terms of time cost and material cost, not to mention drilling one, eight out of ten are normal, at most how much is the production. The corresponding material cost is also much less than that of exploration wells, especially in the new oil wells of the original reservoir, and the crude oil can be seen in the fictional story.

The oil well that Lu Xiangfei is drilling now, called exploration wells, is actually the category of oil production wells, where to drill, how deep to drill, and where to test the oil are all marked on the drawings.

This kind of thing without technical content is the favorite thing of the drilling team, a group of people have become morale high, and they can't see the boredom of a long-term business trip, and the exploration well of a new oilfield often means a lot of contribution value, and such an opportunity to contribute is extremely rare in Dahua Industry.

Lu Xiangfei went into battle in person, and he didn't care about the mud he was all over, and the people next to him were also scrambling to work.

The workers on the same drilling platform came with the platform, and they had no experience with the previous drilling platform, and the accompanying supervisor couldn't help but look at them with strange eyes, and said: "Although I know that some drilling teams are quite hardworking, but your team is really a little too hard." ”

As he was talking, he saw the deputy driller trotting forward to meet the trolley delivering materials. Actively push it over.

The superintendent patted his forehead and secretly wondered: I always feel that something is wrong.

When the trolley delivering materials arrived at the drilling rig, Lu Xiangfei went up with a smile to help with loading and unloading, which was another thing that he didn't have to do.

The original stevedores on the platform were all blinded, and asked with a smirk, "What's going on with this team?"

Lu Xiangfei laughed twice and raised his voice: "Everyone work hard, let's start drilling as soon as possible." As soon as the oil is out, there may be time to drill another well. ”

The superintendent looked at him incomprehensibly, Dahua's employees have always worked hard, but they don't always work hard, at least, like shipping boredom. Senior workers don't bother to do it on weekdays.

He suddenly woke up a little, and hurriedly looked around, but didn't find anything, so he asked Lu Xiangfei in a low voice, "Team Lu, is there a secret camera?"

"What?" Lu Xiangfei was checking the rig, sweating profusely. The breath is uneven.

"Team Lu, you can't hide this from me, is there a reporter, or is the inspection team from the headquarters coming?" The supervisor felt that he had found the right direction, and whispered: "The two of us are considered to be at the same time, and we have cooperated several times, and I have never deliberately troubled you, how can I say this." We kind of have a friendship, you can't sell me here. ”

"What do you say to sell or not, there are no cameras, you think too much. Lu Xiangfei smiled heartily.

The supervisor was even more worried: "You are fighting for me, there is no camera, there is no reporter, what are you robbing?"

"Grab contribution points. Lu Xiangfei shook his hand. I made a movement to relax my shoulder blades.

The superintendent frowned: "What we are doing now is routine work, how many contribution points can we have?

"If the oil is produced in this well, the contribution points will be distributed proportionally. One more positive evaluation of the work, is there more contribution points? At least it is similar to us opening half a dry well. If you think about it this way, you work hard for two weeks, and you have the motivation to do everything you normally do. Lu Xiangfei continued to work, and he didn't have time to look back to see the superintendent.

The overseer laughed: "You say that the oil will be oiled?"

"Didn't we get oil from our last well?"

"Oh, that doesn't mean it's oily. ”

Lu Xiangfei said in the tone of a passer-by: "Don't say I didn't tell you, we came to the last oil well according to the drawings, that is, the location selected by Director Qin, the depth chosen, the drill bit went down, and the oil was out with a sneer." Oh, I estimate that several other drilling platforms are in a similar situation, if we don't speed up, they will not get the oil out first, and when the time comes, even if there is a chance to transfer to a new drilling platform, it will not be our turn. ”

The overseer said a little incomprehensibly, but also a little incomprehensible: "You mean that our well has a high chance of producing oil?"

"Not really. ”

"Haven't heard much about the other rigs? We have a 508 in front of us?"

"I don't care, but you look at the appearance of the Secret Bureau, it looks like it can communicate with the news?"

The overseer rubbed his chin and said, "That's really good news." ”

"Of course it's good news, have you heard a joke?" Lu Xiangfei said while operating the wrench: "It is said that the only one who has the opportunity to get Mr. Zhong's salary is the drilling team, the easiest way is to drill 5 exploration wells, we have already drilled one, and if we drill one more, there will only be three left, by the way, don't tell others about the drilling before." ”

"The Ministry of Secrecy is like the Gestapo, who can it tell. The overseer complained, turned his head and smiled: "Come on, I'll invite you to dinner another day, I have to make a broadcast." ”

"It's all fake to eat another day, what kind of broadcast do you post?"

"You can't make contributions alone, other departments help, it's counted as other departments, isn't it?" the supervisor chuckled: "I'll go and make a broadcast, and we can all get up at speed." ”

Lu Xiangfei was stunned, and the superintendent was gone.

After 20 minutes, the atmosphere was different throughout the rig.

The contribution distribution of Dahua Industry is composed of several evaluations, and normal people can't get ratings such as meritorious service, but as long as you are willing to work actively, it is still easy, counting the bonus brought by performance, the performance of good evaluations in the year-end bonus is amazing.

Employees brush contributions, and Sioux City brushes oil wells.

It is now the middle of 94 years, after more than half a year of brewing, not only Dahua Industrial has a large number of drilling platforms, slightly larger companies have erected drilling platforms, not only that, those companies specializing in drilling platform leasing business, but also the Caspian Sea region as a valuable emerging area, flocking in.

Drilling platforms that rent $400,000 a day, drilling platforms that rent $200,000 a day, and drilling platforms that are discounted to $60,000 a day, and the cheapest is a bottom-type drilling platform that has been rebuilt locally from old ships from the former Soviet Union, with a daily rent of no more than $40,000, which is popular with companies in shallow sea plots.

Sioux City sent a team of people to negotiate a contract for the rig, thinking that if one was signed, one would be brought over.

Although the negotiations did not progress quickly due to the many demands, the contract for the drilling rig was signed and sent to the Azijiu oil field.

……

At the same time, the price of crude oil in the London market is also on the verge of a shock.

The Pan-Asian Fund, which has sold a large number of dollars, is facing many enemies, and the more than $5 billion that has been invested has been leveraged to more than $60 billion, which is a rare large-scale investment in recent years. However, the suspicion of oil prices has made the total scale of funds not as large as imagined.

On the other hand, the sovereign wealth fund of the price countries to which OPEC belongs has also noticeably noticed the anomalies in the market.

In 10 years, such insider trading will become very difficult.

But in 1994, the legendary OPEC could only roar in Arabic or any other language, and it was difficult to attract the attention of the futures market, which was dominated by Europe and the United States.

Monday.

Sioux City ended the emergency committee of the Pan Asia Fund and began a new round of short buying.

Unlike his previous caution, his investment in this round is all large orders calculated in hundreds of millions of dollars.

London's North Sea Brent crude oil, which is the benchmark, was hit by a fluctuation of $1 in an instant.

Corresponding to Sioux City's full self-confidence is the full self-confidence of many companies, and in the early days of this sudden and expected futures war, no one thought of withdrawing.

Everyone thinks they are the winners.

And brutal battles are often carried out with such self-confidence.
