Chapter 605: Celebration
The big Chinese people on the No. 503 drilling platform soon received the news of the production of the third oil well, and they couldn't help but thunder and high-five, and the dry mud mixed with oil fell to the ground "poof", making the yellow, black and white ground like a herd of elephants passing through the grassland.
The dry mud was poured out of the mud that was split and covered with the face when drilling yesterday, due to the excessive pressure underground, the whole drilling team was busy subduing the black dragon, and there was no time to rest, until now, the drilling workers of the two shifts were busy on the deck, no one bothered to take a serious bath, most of them just used the faucet to flush, hiding the small mud blocks that stuck together, until the sun dried it, and then fell out little by little.
Sioux City also rushed into the ranks of the workers, took the phone, learned the details, and cheered with everyone.
The first well produced 70,000 barrels of crude oil per day, the second well produced 50,000 barrels of crude oil per day, and now there is a third self-blowing well.
For those who are familiar with the oil industry, a self-blowing well means 90% of the time, and no matter which oil field it belongs to, it means that there is an abundance of oil coming out.
Oilfields with a daily output of more than 100,000 barrels, half of which are sweet crude oil, and there are no long-term oil contracts, so much crude oil enters the spot market, and it is impossible to avoid causing an impact, and if the production is more, the impact will be even more obvious.
When oil is scarce, refineries cannot stop working, so they must buy crude oil suitable for their refineries at a high price, thus causing oil prices to rise. Again, in the event of an oversupply. The oil fields cannot be shut down, so they must sell their own crude oil at a reduced price.
It will take time for the market to bridge the spread, in the post-oil crisis era. The means of bridging is usually to increase demand, after all, there are too many places where oil is needed. Still, fluctuations in oil prices are inevitable in the initial period, especially when the supply of new fields is unstable.
The heads of several other companies are in the mood to make additional investments, however. Sioux City, who was busy with the celebrations, didn't seem to have time to deal with them, so he jumped on his feet with his arms around him and patted him on the shoulder. It's like a young man attending a concert, and he has completely lost his previous stability.
"Chairman Su, let's discuss the matter of additional investment. "Kangle owns a majority stake in British Global Petroleum and has the ability to make a difference.
"What did you say?" Sioux put a hand on his ear. I couldn't hear him clearly.
Kang Le roared again with a broken voice.
Su Cheng nodded: "Okay." Are you going to talk about it here?"
"Please come out. Kangle was huddled in the crowd, hot and sweaty.
Su Cheng had a smile on his face, and was about to move, when Li Hu's roar suddenly came from the front: "Brothers, let's sing a song, I'll start up, we workers have strength...... One, two, three......"
"We workers have strength, hey! We workers have strength! We are busy working every day. Hey, I was busy with work every day, and I built a high-rise building. The railway coal mine was built, and the world was transformed...... "Nearly 100 drilling workers sang, which also made the drilling platform no longer tolerate a little noise.
Or rather, it's all the noise of a broken gong.
Drilling workers are always prone to fall into silence and chatter when they work normally every day, and it is normal for people's temperament to change after working on a basketball court drilling platform for half a year.
Singing is the best way to relieve stagnation.
After many days of pressure, the drillers on the 503 platform really need a channel to release.
There is no need to think about whether the oil layer can be found, whether the borehole will collapse, whether the drilling rig is stable, whether the progress is completed......
Su Cheng's arms waved rhythmically, in high spirits.
One song after another, one song after another, making the atmosphere on the rig feel like a New Year.
Kang Le waited until the singing stopped, grabbed Su Cheng's arm and shouted, "Su Dong, please let us make additional investment." ”
"Okay, let's sing together. Su Cheng didn't know if he understood or didn't understand, he slapped twice, then hooked Kang Le's shoulders and roared again.
From the outside of the rig, it looks like a karaoke room standing on the sea, with no soundproofing and sofas.
The advantage is that the space is huge.
And in such a practice room, it is almost impossible to discuss things.
After about two hours, the frenzied celebration came to an end.
Sioux Cheng and Kang Le and others were also surrounded by enthusiastic drilling workers in the center of the crowd.
Li Hu gasped for breath, his face glinted, and stood in front of the derrick, asking Dahua's accompanying reporters to take pictures of him.
Soon, everyone huddled together and asked to take a family photo.
Sioux City was pulled to the front. He was half-crouched on the ground, covered in black oil sludge, leaving behind a group photo that was difficult to distinguish.
Li Hu was very happy, rubbed his head with dirty hands, and said with a smile: "I want to go back and show my wife and children the photos of me and the chairman of the group." We workers have power, haha!"
"In my opinion, the workers are always the most important. Su Cheng put his arm around his shoulders and asked the accompanying reporter to take a second photo.
He didn't say anything, and from the experience of later generations, workers have always been the engine of China's economy. Made in China and China's economy, the first 40 years were sitting on the workers of state-owned enterprises, and then on the hundreds of millions of migrant workers. The so-called demographic dividend and the so-called urbanization all come from the release of labor.
With Li Hu's example, everyone lined up to take pictures with Sioux City.
Sioux City also did not refuse, he is not a national leader, if everyone wants such a photo, he will provide such a photo.
The workers seem to be unaware, but in Sioux City's view, the workers on the five Azerbaijani oil rigs currently in operation are almost the most valuable workers of Dahua Industrial.
If it weren't for the peak state of technology, physical strength and experience, Dahua would not have been able to see the three oil wells so quickly.
No matter how good the idea is, it needs strength to implement it in the end.
Ultimately. The heritage and strength of a company also depend on the accumulation of grassroots strength.
Gilles stared blankly at Sioux City posing there, seeing that he really wanted to take pictures with everyone. couldn't help but say: "He's really patient." ”
Kang Le couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "What do you say, what does he think?"
Jestan made a successful additional investment, smiled, and said, "It's not going to kick Universal out of the team now, what are you afraid of?"
Kang Le coughed twice, lowered his head and said, "I finally encountered a big oil field." You can't afford to waste such an opportunity. ”
A few people next to him couldn't help it.
Before it was uncertain that Azijiu was a super oil field, Kangle was more inclined to media and public relations publicity, that is, to obtain profits through hype.
But. As the prototype of what Sioux City called a "great oil field" is maturing, the expectation of returns from insider trading is also slowly increasing.
If there used to be a 1% fluctuation in oil prices, now it is 1.5%. That's a 50% increase in profits. As far as the reality is concerned, Kangle believes that there will be more increases.
Therefore, when the third oil well appeared, Su Cheng was not in a hurry, and it was Kang Le and the others who were in a hurry.
Rubbing his face in the sea breeze, Kang Le regained his morale and came to Sioux City again.
"Su Dong ......"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he heard another jubilation in his ears.
"What's the situation? Could it be that there is oil coming out of another oil well?" Kang Le was a little nervous.
"Holidays. It's a holiday. The ship's supervisor could understand English and kindly explained to Kang Le.
Recreation is like a drowning man. Hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Tell me more, what kind of holiday?"
"We're going on vacation. "The overseer couldn't wait to dance and sing.
"No more oil extraction?"
"There will be a new oil production team to replace us. The overseer said happily: "It's been half a year, and I can finally go back with peace of mind." ”
"Work for half a year, do you have a vacation for half a year?"
The superintendent shook his head and said with a smile: "Everyone is reluctant to go back, besides, there are only a few well teams that can do exploration and drilling work, and we go back, and the drilling platform is not going to be shut down." ”
"Aren't there hired workers?" said Kang Le saw a lot of British hired workers. The mid-90s is the most comfortable era in Europe and the United States, and it is still indispensable for poor Chinese people to go out to beg for a living, compared with the domestic recruitment requirements, the quality requirements of European and American workers in foreign oil fields are much lower, and there is always a sense of care.
The overseer chuckled twice and said disdainfully: "The hired workers don't want to work for three hours a day, they shout every day that the food is not good, the salary is not enough, and they don't worry about it, let them do whatever they want, hire 5 workers, and they have to be assigned a nanny." ”
The superintendent talked for a while, and suddenly realized that there was a foreigner in front of him, so he quickly stopped talking and smiled: "Don't say it, in a few days, we will go back, my wife and children, as well as my parents and brothers, I haven't seen each other for a while...... By the way, we will return to Baku in batches tomorrow, if you want to go, it is better to go with our ship, the big ship will resist the wind and waves, and the bumps will be small. ”
Kang Le nodded blankly, the amount of information the overseer had given him was too much to understand, making it a little difficult to understand. As one of the most serious countries in Europe, British workers can be called dedicated, much more diligent than Spain and France, but, listening to the description of the Chinese, Kangle has become confused.
"Are American workers willing to work day and night now?" said Kang Le pulled Jaystein, not far away, whose Seeger company does technical services all year round, usually recruiting people at the workplace.
Jestan didn't understand why Kang Le asked like this, but replied, "If it blows out, you must work day and night." ”
"Usually?"
Jestan shook his head: "Whoever dares to work day and night will shoot him, and I can't afford to pay for overtime." ”
"Then you have to hire a few more people. ”
"Where there is so much money to hire people, the remuneration for labor is determined. Jestan looked like you didn't know the national situation, and said with a smile: "The workload of American workers is about to be determined, and if you want to work overtime, you have to find foreign workers, but those guys are getting harder and harder to serve." What's wrong? What are these doing?"
"I always feel that such a Chinese company will one day come to the North Sea to extract oil and drive us away. Kang Le said and smiled: "Maybe it's my crankiness." ”
Jastein laughed twice, then fell silent amid the joy of the sky.
