Chapter 622: New Game
Li Shirong had already closed the Dahua 505, and the supply ships and auxiliary ships were all used by Dahua's own people, and the materials purchased from other companies were also directly inspected and forwarded at the port.
Seeing the appearance of crude oil, Li Shirong was even more vigilant and directly activated the painstaking confidentiality plan. The reason why his secrecy department became independent is that at the moment, it is natural for everyone to spread out, and whether the strictest measures can be used to upgrade to the Dahua Information Secrecy Bureau, so as to be ranked with the Dahua Information Bureau, is to see what happened to him.
Satellite phones on the rigs were monitored, the keys to the ships were controlled, the docks belonging to Dahua Industrial were guarded by the onshore staff of the Ministry of Secrecy, and the hotline of the Azerbaijani Coast Guard, which received the money, was connected to the safe house of the Ministry.
Li Shirong breathed a sigh of relief, and asked people to call the personnel who did not belong to the drilling platform to talk one by one, and as for the staff on the drilling platform, they naturally wanted to stay on it and continue to work for a period of time.
Lu Xiangfei and his team members cheered for a while, and had a new idea, taking advantage of Su Cheng's happiness, he rubbed over and said: "Su Dong, send us to the new drilling platform to drill wells, this time the drilling speed is fast, we haven't done enough yet." β
"Not enough?"
"It's idle to go back, and we prefer to go to the new rig to drill wells. Lu Xiang looked at Sioux City with flying eyes.
If they stay on this rig, they will probably be doing as an oil production team. Oil production and drilling are two different concepts, the former is to obtain crude oil from a formed well, and the latter is to drill a well in an unknown location. In mature oil fields such as Shengli Oilfield or Daqing Oilfield, the task of the oil production team is heavier. It is also more valued, and in a newly opened oil field such as the Azijiu oilfield, it is naturally the drilling team that is more important.
Offshore rigs and onshore rigs are more different. The drilling team is even included in the drill floor, so the onshore drilling team often does rig relocation, and the drilling team is often subject to the drilling platform, there are fewer opportunities, and whether or not you can get the oil well becomes extremely important.
In Dahua's current arrangement, rigs are usually running at full capacity. The drilling team took intermittent breaks. Since Lu Xiangfei's drilling team drilled a well, they naturally got the opportunity to go to Baku to rest, and put it in normal times. Lu Xiangfei would be quite happy to have a long vacation.
However, the chances of getting a 10,000-ton well are not very good, and although he is not sure what the daily production of the well under his feet is, he can roughly estimate it. Thousands of barrels can't run away every day. In other words, according to Qin Shiwei's analysis map, he can still drill a large oil well at sea.
In the increasingly competitive Dahua system, drilling one more offshore well can bring huge advantages, especially now that the headquarters has not announced the end of the exploration of the Aqijiu oil field, and every well drilled is an exploration well with a higher value.
When Lu Xiangfei was the vice captain. Two ordinary oil production wells were drilled in the Setan oil field, and after being promoted to captain. He also participated in the service in Russia, and still only had the harvest of oil production wells, and he knew very well that although the position of drilling team leader was rarely promoted to management, the salary and treatment were very different at different technical levels. The dividends represented by the "Special Contribution List" are even more important, and there is no doubt that when it comes to the year-end scoring, the results of the drilling team in Aziju are definitely the most important.
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, where does Lu Xiangfei care about the holiday, and his team members are the same.
Su Cheng guessed a little, but what he liked was this kind of positive people, and Dahua's system was also prepared for these people, so he only hesitated slightly: "There are drilling teams on several other drilling platforms, and if you want to go up, you have to be stronger than them." β
"Now that we have the experience, we can drill the next well faster than they do. Moreover, many of the drilling teams have not been on vacation for a long time, and their physical strength is not as abundant as ours, and our team members are now more confident and skilled. Lu Xiangfei lobbied desperately, if he went to the official person in charge, the other party would definitely have to do things according to the rules, and only a high-level like Su Cheng would give him a chance.
After a short thought, Su Cheng smiled: "This way, when the celebration is over, I will let them assign tasks, consider you, before that, you have to get the consent of the other team members." β
Lu Xiangfei said goodbye.
Yang Ming waited for him to leave, and said puzzledly: "Actually, the number of drilling teams is enough. Pull them up again, and the other teams may have opinions. β
Su Cheng smiled bitterly: "The current situation is not suitable for them to take a holiday. β
Yang Ming was stunned for a moment and understood. Since it is necessary to keep the drilling secret, it is impossible to let the drilling team go back to Baku to recuperate, and if you can't go to Baku to rest, what's the point of the holiday.
In this way, it is better to follow them and participate in the next round of drilling tasks.
Yang Ming nodded in agreement, and said: "In this way, there will have to be other drilling teams to brush it down, and it may be said that it is unfair." β
"There's nothing unfair about crude oil extraction. Su Cheng said lightly: "Lu Xiangfei's drilling team seized the opportunity, that's it, even if you find crude oil a minute in advance, it means a lot to us." β
The long wait has not only made Sioux City's partners suspicious, but also the market.
And this time, Sioux City is extremely in need of the market's cooperation.
Finding crude oil as quickly as possible is always the key point pursued by oil companies.
In the next few days, as Qin Shiwei expected, the newly built No. 508 and the transferred No. 502 were laid out at the drilling points he had identified.
After a detailed inspection, the two drilling rigs rang non-stop.
For oil companies, the sound of the drilling rig is always beautiful, and as long as the drilling rig is ringing, there is hope.
In fact, hope is far more than they need to come, and it comes sooner.
It took only four days for Dahua 508 to get a brand new oil well with a production of more than 20,000 barrels per day, reaching 3,500 tons per day.
Over the next week, the fifth well also got better and better.
Counting the daily output of 30,000 tons of oil wells on Haiyang 505 obtained a few days ago, the new production of the Aqijiu oilfield instantly increased by 50,000 tons.
And so it goes. The Azijiu field produces more than 100,000 tonnes of crude oil per day, which is put into the spot market without long-term contracts. It will inevitably cause a lot of fluctuations.
After the seven-member committee was gathered, the exploration well of Dahua 507 also had a new harvest.
"3 billion barrels in reserves?" said Recreation held a meeting in Amsterdam for the promotion of the Pan Asia Fund, where Sioux City also presented a report on the Dahua 507 side well.
Exploratory wells are test wells drilled to analyze crude oil reserves, and generally speaking, the conclusions obtained from such test wells are only a little more. From the perspective of an oilfield, a few exploratory wells can analyze its large reservoir reserves. But. With the advancement of technology, there are always some small reservoirs discovered, and many parts that cannot or are not worth exploiting will become worthy and recoverable.
Of course. All of this is based on the premise that the unit doing the analysis did not deliberately conceal it. Before the '60s, oil companies tended to conceal their reserves, which would raise the price of crude oil on the market and reduce their dependence on oil-exporting countries.
Kang Le's tone was slightly skeptical.
"You need someone to look at the report first. Other than that. The production of crude oil is certain, and now a ship is full and ready to be shipped to Turkey. "The Caspian Sea is an inland sea, and more than 100 rivers, including the Volga, eventually flow here, which is equivalent to a super-large lake. Although it is not connected to other oceans, the Caspian Sea connects Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan on the one hand, and Turkey, Iran and other countries on the other, and the cross-strait transportation is extremely prosperous. Back in the days of the former Soviet Union. There are quite a few tankers in the Caspian Sea, and in another 20 years. It will also be a major export channel for blockaded countries such as Iran. Dahua employs tankers on a charter basis, although more expensive than the pipeline through Baku, but it is very flexible and suitable for the current plan to store crude oil.
Kang Le did not see the joy and anger and handed the report to the experts behind him, and each of the seven companies present was accompanied by relevant experts, which was also indispensable in the negotiation. Otherwise, CEOs with accounting or legal backgrounds simply won't be able to understand a lot of business and make the right judgments.
After looking at the room full of Dutch-style wallpaper and window edges, and despised the aesthetics of these little Germans, Gilles suddenly laughed and said, "Does it mean that Su Dong's plan is in perfect progress now?" Mr. Kang, you invited us to sing hymns?"
The satire of the French is also always rhythmic.
Kang Le frowned, unable to say whether he was happy or unhappy.
Emotionally, he was naturally unhappy and went to great lengths to convene the emergency committee, but everyone was dragging their feet, and it was not until more than a month later that it was successfully convened, and it was clear that several other companies believed in Sioux City more than him.
This is also natural, otherwise the Pan-Asia Fund of seven companies would not exist.
However, in his heart, Kang Le always felt that his judgment was correct, he did not expect to make a lot of money when he joined the Pan Asia Fund, and he was very happy to have a profit of about 5% in the short term, but it was not like this, the time dragged on, the risk increased, although the expected profit was also increasing, but it has not yet fallen into his hands.
Gilles' words made Conn feel uncomfortable, but from the perspective of interests, he still hoped that Sioux City would find crude oil.
Therefore, when he saw Su Cheng's report, his tone couldn't help but soften, and said, "Wait until we analyze the report...... If there really are 3 billion barrels of reserves, of course, it is the best. β
"In this case, this emergency committee should be used to discuss the follow-up arrangements of the futures market. Gilles's Finer Company has a close relationship with Dahua Industrial, and he has also adopted a strategy of all-out tilt towards Sioux City.
The gentlemen of several other companies nodded one after another, and Jestein, the president of the American Seeger Company, said with an exaggerated smile: "The situation couldn't be better now, there are already 5 oil wells producing oil, with a daily output of 100,000 barrels, plus 3 billion barrels of reserves, there is a lot of room for operation." β
"The sixth well is also promising, and we have four more offshore rigs moving towards the target and the 11th rig in the pipeline. Su Cheng looked at the other people's expressions with a smile. Half a year ago, it was crazy to put five offshore rigs into a new oil field, but in a field gushing with crude oil, 11 rigs would be too few.
As soon as these words came out, the conference table was filled with laughter, and Kang Le just pretended to have a straight face.
Until, Su Cheng looked at him and smiled: "I think that Dahua Industrial has now exceeded the work I promised, and the British Universal Company has done the opposite, and I ask for a new revision of the share quota." β
Kang Le's face instantly became dry.
"I agree. Gilles smiled and spoke first.
Kang Le's face widened with anger, and he said angrily: "What do you agree with? He doesn't even have a defensible reason......
"The emergency committee you convened is a good reason. Su Cheng also lost a smile on his face: "Since our trust is in trouble, there are only two options, British Global takes the initiative to reduce its stake to the extent that it cannot affect decision-making, or withdraw from the Pan Asia Fund." β
"You're going to kick me out now?"
Su Cheng ignored him, looked at the others and said, "What do you think?"
"Agreed. β
"Agreed. β
Repsol Seeger has spoken, which means that half of the votes can be passed.
Kang Le stared at his eyes for a long time, and finally said, "How much do you want me to drop?"
"To 3% of the shares, the money you invested in the shares will be returned to you. "This number, in the foundation composed of 7 companies, is completely ineffective, whether to vote and how much to vote, can not affect anything.
Kang Le struggled once, but did not find the allies, and nodded silently. He is naturally reluctant to completely withdraw, 3% of the shares are exchanged for profits, not to mention tens of millions of dollars, and he can't lose them for a momentary battle of will, although he has lost tens of millions of dollars, but on the bright side, Su Cheng can leave him such a little shares, and the hush money has been calculated in it.
Sioux City didn't press him anymore and instead started talking about the next concrete steps.
Kang Le rubbed his hair and held his head in his hands, not knowing whether to regret or anger. From the dialogue on the table, it can be seen that the Pan Asia Fund will set off huge waves in the next financial market, which will not only bring profits, but also accompanying power, and this power is most suitable to accommodate the Kangle family, whose property in the City of London is not for fun.
However, the drop of shares to this level basically represents the loss of the rights of the Kangle family in the Pan Asia Fund, and the subsequent benefits are not to be considered.
"Just make money. "Kangle can only comfort himself psychologically.
Similar discussions have been staged at Sumitomo Corporation, Enron, SociΓ©tΓ© GΓ©nΓ©rale, and others. Since Dahua drilled a new oil well, their shorting scale in the futures market has expanded, and whether the bulls of all parties continue to participate in the game or exit the game must have their own discussions.
