Chapter 59: Gambling on Oil

/*728*15, created on Aug 16, 2012*/varcpro_id='u1025861';

The so-called waste oil wells are not completely abandoned oil wells, but oil wells with a daily production of less than 2 tons, or the production is very unstable. From the perspective of Shengli Oilfield, these wells have lost the need for reinvestment, and it is better to hand them over to private companies to cooperate in development, and the income may exceed the operation.

However, whether you look at the technology of the 80s or the technology of another 30 years, exploration mistakes have occurred repeatedly. Shengli Oilfield is also known for its complex geological structure, with a large number of faults and numerous reservoir types that can stun any expert.

In this case, a waste oil well with a daily output of 7 barrels of oil may become a high-production oil well with a daily output of 300 barrels if it is drilled 10 meters deeper. However, if you make the wrong choice, the waste oil wells that you have spent a lot of money on may become depleted at any time, so that you can't even earn back your electricity bills......

The story of getting rich overnight and losing all your money has happened more than once in this land.

Sioux City was in school, so I didn't hear this kind of story a lot.

His eyes scanned the map up and down, left and right, and finally stopped at a few oil wells in Binnan.

Su Cheng carefully looked at the relative position again, and finally opened the notebook, checked the information inside, and without hesitation, he stretched out his finger at the red dot in Binnan and asked, "Director Wei, can these oil wells be contracted?"

"5702 to 5705. Exactly a plot. Wei Kong looked at his notes and said with a smile: "Of course there is no problem with contracting, 4 oil wells, including the equipment leased above, is 40,000 yuan per year." However, these wells are all old, and I am afraid that not a single barrel can be extracted in a day. The payback time is relatively long. ”

Chubby also looked at Su Cheng in confusion, but didn't speak.

1 barrel of oil is 20 US dollars, an average of 4 barrels of oil per day, only 28,000 US dollars a year, and the oil must be collected according to the official price, which is equal to a gross profit of 100,000 yuan. ^/very/^ Remove the 40,000 yuan of the contract fee, and then evenly share the water and electricity costs, operation costs, labor and the number of relationship processing fees, the operation is not good, and the loss may not be.

This is also the reason why private oil extraction only took off after 2000. By that time, oil prices had doubled, equipment efficiency and prices had doubled, and while contracting costs had risen, the room for maneuvering had risen.

Wei Kong was worried that Su Cheng did not understand the market, so he deliberately explained: "The oil field has a limit on the contracting fee for each oil well, and these four wells in Binnan have been shut down for a long time. In the past, some oil could be produced intermittently, but a few years ago it was completely impossible, and I suggest that you choose the oil wells of Li*jin, which are a little more expensive, about 20,000 yuan each, and free of equipment rent for three years. Those are oil wells that can produce more than a dozen barrels per day, which is more cost-effective than these four combined. ”

"No, I'm bullish on these four wells. "Sioux City knows that these wells are not producing oil right now. However, underneath the very shallow heavy oil, there is another small reservoir.

It is said that it is small, and that is relative to the national reservoir. Hundreds of thousands of barrels of reserves, given to individuals is millions of dollars. Once when he was in school, Sioux City heard the legend of the oil boss in Binnan, and it is said that he spent hundreds of thousands of yuan to become a billionaire in one fell swoop.

Of course, the price of oil at that time also rose to more than 100 dollars.

At his insistence, Wei Kong still asked someone to make a contract for him, and when everything was completed, he smiled and said: "Thank you Director Su for sending me the original pulp, hey, I said it once, and I will let you remember it." ”

"Huang Ping happened to go to Guizhou. Su Cheng shook hands with Wei Kong, and said, "Can you introduce an oil production team to me?" ”

Wei Kong laughed and agreed.

Every small owner of private oil production feels that the oil well he has chosen is in stock, and some people who succeed are blamed for it, and some people who fail and are not heard from.

The reservoir characteristics of Shengli Oilfield are destined to be a place of oil gambling.

The scattered reservoirs were disconnected from each other, as if they were deliberately hiding. The entire Shengli oil field contains two-thirds of the world's known reservoir types. No matter how powerful the exploration team is, it can't be exhausted. Such an oil field, even if it is lost to the Saudi royal family, I am afraid that it will not have the patience to exploit it. In fact, even if it is mined for another 20 or 50 years, there will still be small undiscovered oil reservoirs on this land -- and one day, when the big oil reservoirs in the Shengli Oilfield are developed and the equipment and personnel are withdrawn, these small oil reservoirs will still remain there, which is equivalent to a permanent waste. Because by that time, it will cost far more money to re-establish the environment for oil field development than the value of small reservoirs.

Because of this, 20 years later, private oil production companies in Shaanxi and Xinjiang have been expelled one after another, but private oil production companies in Shengli Oilfield are in the ascendant. With the cost and efficiency of state-owned enterprises, let them gamble on the recovery of 5,000 tons or 10,000 tons of small oil reservoirs, and if they win, they will lose money, and only small private bosses can make full use of these resources.

If given the opportunity, Sioux City might have left the country's big oil fields to future generations, but small oil reservoirs like the Shengli oil field are completely unnecessary.

After a few days, everything was ready.

The drilling team erected a yellow and blue K-shaped derrick, with an effective height of 43 meters, which is as eye-catching as a TV transmission tower. The 6-metre-high base of the drill floor weighs more than 100 tonnes and is connected to the ground by a steel staircase.

The winch frame is on the base of the drill floor, and the steel cable is mounted through the cardan shaft turntable, and the drill pipe and the power system are connected in parallel. The generator room and the electronic control room are also mobile, stably fixed near the base, and make a "rumbling" noise, which is enough to make people feel uneasy.

But Sioux City was excited.

An oil man, no matter what profession he does. There is always a dream in this life: to participate in an oil extraction and witness the scene of oil spewing out.

Tens of millions of oil workers, millions of masonry machinery, 10,000 enterprises, the country's financial resources, the so-called, after all, is just this moment.

Xiaopang and the seven or eight bosses behind him also clenched their fists.

In this era, there were few people in the mixed oil fields, and the relationship with each other was quite good, and when I heard that someone was re-drilling, they naturally came to visit.

Li Yao, the captain of the drilling team, while monitoring the work of the winch and turntable, introduced to Su Cheng: "Our target well depth is 3,000 meters, and 40 drilling rigs are more than enough, you can see it." ”

Su Cheng nodded sullenly and said, "Control the progress, don't be too fast." ”

Li Yao responded strangely. He has been in the drilling team for many years, and he has seen all kinds of requirements for progress, but he has never seen those who require control of progress.

Su Cheng stared at the drill floor without blinking, the abandoned well was also an intact oil well, all he needed was 10 to 100 meters down.

Fortunately, it was drilling in the Shengli Oilfield, otherwise the drilling team's moving expenses would have been overrun.

"The drill went down. ”

Chubby looked in on tiptoe excitedly and shouted in the loud noise, "Is it really going to be oily?"

"In a few minutes, you'll know. Li Yao shouted.

Chubby could only nod vigorously. The drilling team spent the last of their working capital, and the venture would have failed if there had not been a large amount of oil pouring out.

A few minutes passed quickly.

Su Cheng stiffened his face and didn't speak, and Xiaopang didn't dare to say anything.

Sioux City was a little impatient when it came to the end of the drill pipe - it had taken too long. He couldn't help but wonder if he could be mistaken.

Could it be that the rumors are wrong?

Su Cheng scratched his head, and couldn't help but be a little anxious.

"10 meters up. Li Yao said in a deep voice.

"Why is it so slow?" said Chubby, cloaking to his ear.

Li Yao was stunned: "Boss Su asked me to control the progress?"

Chubby was anxious to run around the well three times.

"50 meters up. Li Yao kept reporting the number

"60 meters up. ”

The rig descended smoothly without the slightest change at all.

The atmosphere at the scene became a little impetuous, Li Yao's hand holding the walkie-talkie was a little sore, maybe he had no bottom in his heart, and his hand was no longer strong, but looking at Boss Su's calm appearance, his hand clenched a little tighter, and at this time, the drill pipe suddenly sank......
