Chapter 555: The Truth
"Su Dong predicts, how much will the water content of the oil well drop?" Ducat's expression was extremely serious, his fingers clutched the stick, and his pinching turned white. Not to mention anything else, the technology that Dahua Industry is currently showing is enough for him to pay attention to.
The others also looked like they were in general, pricking up their ears to listen to Su Cheng's answer.
Su Cheng smiled without modesty, and said in English: "As far as this oil well is concerned, I think it's okay to go down a few more points." ”
When expressing quantity, he uses "afew", which means a small amount. However, apples are described in small quantities, everyone doesn't care, this water content is described in small amounts, and everyone is going crazy.
A drop of three points can also be said to be a "small amount", and the same is true of a drop of 10 points. However, at present, the water content has decreased by one point, and the oil production has increased by 163 tons, and the oil production has increased by 50% if it drops by 3 points!
What is this concept? It means that an oil field that has entered the end of its exploitation can immediately return to its prime.
This means that the original annual output of 500,000 barrels of oil fields can be increased to 750,000 barrels!
And in terms of profits, that's not a simple 50% increase.
With 93 years of oilfield maintenance, 500,000 barrels of oilfield, the achievement of seven or eight million, under the condition of average management level, the profit is not 30%, that is, the old oilfield has paid off the previous development, in order to continue to exploit at such a profit rate.
However, if such an oilfield increases production, it will not increase the maintenance of the oilfield, whether it is pipelines, labor, or equipment maintenance, there will be no obvious increase, and the increase is nothing more than the success of tertiary oil recovery and the success of oil concessions. On those fields acquired before the 80s, oil concessions were even fixed.
In this way, an increase of 50% in gross profit may lead to an increase in real profit of 50% or even 100%.
Put an annual output of 1 million barrels. Even in a large oil field of 5 million barrels, the total value of the profit increase is considerable.
What's more, Ducater et al. see great potential for the green curve displayed on a computer screen.
The water content may be reduced by more than 3 points.
Such a technology is of great significance to a large oil company that has lasted for half a century.
It's like the old oil field rejuvenating.
If the coverage is wide enough, these three oil recovery technologies are equivalent to a panacea compared to the old oil fields.
Ducat's excitement is a bit of a pity, as his technical department invests millions of pounds a year in tertiary oil recovery technology. Why aren't there such obvious results?
But he didn't know how much Sioux City had invested in tertiary oil recovery technology, and how many Chinese oil researchers were struggling here.
Among the people present. Only Lin Yonggui is calm.
As early as 88 years, he was exposed to Dahua Industrial's tertiary oil recovery technology. At that time, Dahua Industrial still used 3087 polyacrylamide, and by imitating foreign technology, the waste oil field was raised from 05 tons per day to 4 tons per day, reflecting a certain value. In fact. At that time, Dahua Industrial also sold a total of more than 60 sets of polymer flooding equipment to China, with a total contract amount of more than 60 million yuan.
In addition, Haliburton has contributed millions of dollars. Purchased the right to use the technology from Dahua for a period of 10 years.
At that time, Lin Yonggui really felt very powerful.
However, China's technological development. It's always been phased. Generally speaking, the so-called "phased results" mean that they have achieved "phased results". That is to say: it is not good to do it later, let's copy a foreign technology again.
The 3086 polyacrylamide body is a repeat of foreign technical achievements. Although Dahua's polymer flooding equipment has reached the "international advanced" level, it would not have been able to sell that big contract if it had not become a low price.
And it is not generally difficult to "reach the international advanced level" and then do it.
The road that the predecessors have walked, even if it is a rough path, is at most a little careful and laborious. The road that has not been traveled before, that is, exploration, will cost more money, get less results, and may even fall to death.
Lin Yonggui thinks from his own experience, in the five years from 88 to 93 years, Dahua Industrial has probably done the most follow-up research. Otherwise, why wait five years to come up with the technology of tertiary oil recovery?
Perhaps, it is to wait for foreign research to make progress, and then seize the time difference to get an international leading technology.
It's not like he's never seen this kind of thing.
In the state of investing millions of dollars in a foreign project and tens of millions of yuan in a domestic project, researchers who can do a good job of follow-up research can be called a big deal.
This is equivalent to using 500 yuan to knock off a $500 mobile phone. Not only are the functions identical, but the launch time is almost the same. This kind of character can indeed be regarded as a big deal.
However, today's Lin Yonggui is no longer interested in the technology of changing 05 tons into 4 tons.
After all, in 88 years, China was extremely thirsty for foreign exchange, and it was completely ignorant of the fact that it could increase the barrel of crude oil that could be exported to earn foreign exchange, and even did not consider the problem, especially the renminbi.
But in '93, it was a different story.
China is already a net importer of crude oil, and oil is no longer a foreign exchange-earning product, but a commodity. At this point, it becomes a problem.
0.5 tons to 4 tons, or 05 tons to 8 tons, can not hide the low value of waste oil wells, Shengli Oilfield has begun to give up oil wells below 3 tons, because the power consumption of the kowtow machine alone makes the oil field unbearable.
Of course, 32 tons become 50 tons, but Lin Yonggui "knows" that the data on the computer may be made by Zhang Yuming, so he is not interested.
What Lin Yonggui is thinking about now is how to help Su Cheng continue to lie.
This kind of thing is not difficult, and there are research institutes in China that claim to have developed world-leading technology. But if you dig deeper, many of the technologies are on paper, or rather, in the days of big coverage.
After the results report is over, and many of the world's leading technologies are no longer mentioned.
If you look at the technical indicators reported by the media. China was able to surpass Europe and the United States dozens of times in the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s, and the research institutes in the 90s were even more chaotic.
Let the tertiary oil recovery technology blind the eyes first, and then bury it quietly, as far as Lin Yonggui is concerned. It couldn't be more normal.
Because of this, he admires Zhang Yuming's "real" skills more.
This is also the norm of Chinese people, and the more familiar people are, the easier it is to doubt their excellence...... Dahua Industrial once won the three oil production projects with an order of 60 million yuan, Lin Yonggui feels that it is still understandable. This time, the tertiary oil recovery technology exceeded his understanding.
Ducatt and the others don't care who made the tertiary oil recovery technology, whether Dahua made it or Haliburton made it, as long as it is profitable, it doesn't matter if they pay a little more money to buy it. The world's 10 largest oil companies spend their money on technology transfer fees every year. It is far more than the market value of Dahua Industrial.
These big-bodied elephants only care about what increases their wealth and power.
When the water content dropped from 59% to 57%, everyone was excited.
"That's an 8 percent drop. "That's an important number. Because fracturing operations are physical, they vary depending on the terrain. It has also not been fully confirmed. Polymer flooding is different, this chemical flooding method has been studied by various countries for twenty or thirty years, limited by the game of success and effect. It has never been applied on a large scale. But in the lab, an 8% drop in water content is considered a good number. It's a number that definitely yields benefits.
A group of Europeans and Americans ignored the smell of sweat on other people's bodies and squeezed hard to the screen.
Shigeru Nishioka is a stocky and short traditional Japanese body type, and although he doesn't squeeze in, the crowd still deprives him of the freedom to see the curve for the first time. He simply retreated from the scramble, found Su Cheng, and said in a low voice: "Su Dong, do you have time, let's talk?"
"Wait another hour, it's too busy now. "Sioux City didn't have obvious discrimination, but it didn't take Shigeru Nishioka seriously either. Nippon International Petroleum Development Co., Ltd. is indeed a company that is qualified to bid for oil fields, but the reason it is not a giant elephant is that although it is qualified to participate in the bidding, it cannot kick other companies out of the bidding at will.
Large companies that can't control other companies are just big companies, and even if they make the same amount of profits, they can't be called giants.
Shigeru Nishioka was out of the house, but he was familiar with the coldness of others, and said disapprovingly: "I just have some technology about tertiary oil recovery, and I want to talk to you." ”
He wanted Sioux City to be a technocratic leader.
However, Sioux City is not, and Li ignores him.
Shigeru Nishioka gritted his teeth and said riskily: "I have a way to make Dahua's tertiary oil recovery technology sell at a better price, and you want to sell the technology by exhibiting it publicly, right?"
"Huh?"
"These big companies eat meat and don't spit out bones, and Japanese companies were cheated a lot by them in the seventies and eighties. I've got an idea for you to avoid this. "Shigeru Nishioka has a lot of emotion and is very infectious.
Su Cheng finally raised his eyelids and asked him, "What's the idea?"
"You split the tertiary recovery technology into individual patents and let each company buy them at their own choosing, so that you don't sell all the patents at once, like a packaged patent, but you can make more money if the price is reasonable. Shigeru Nishioka was also improvised, but he still mentioned a pricing strategy that is commonly used by Japanese companies. In this way, it is indeed possible to increase the price of the product. Of course, it is under the premise of re-product fixation.
Su Cheng didn't speak, and the little fat behind him couldn't see it, and stabbed: "You said that it is divided into separate patents, do you know how many patents there are for tertiary oil recovery?"
"How many?" asked Shigeru Nishioka immediately.
Chubby smiled: "I don't know, it's a lot anyway." ”
Su Cheng heard that what he said was unreliable, glanced at him angrily, and said: "There are more than 600 patents for polymer dispersion devices, and the total number of patents is more than 3,000. ”
As early as 88 years, Dahua Industrial made more than 400 patents in this area, and now it is just expanding the patent barriers.
Of course, it can't be compared with the tens of thousands of patents of some foreign companies, but it is also a technology castle that is difficult to bypass.
Shigeru Nishioka was a little incredulous and muttered, "I didn't hear that Chinese companies also hold so many patents." ”
He didn't finish his sentence. A burst of loud applause covered the surroundings.
"The water content has been reduced to 55 percent. It's down 10% and it's still down. "The Frenchman Gilles read the numbers on the screen with great enthusiasm in a characteristic mage trill.
Shigeru Nishioka's eyes also widened instantly, and he couldn't bear it, and said to Su Cheng again: "Su Dong, we can do the work of patent spin-off and patent pricing for you, free of charge." 3,000 patents, we will definitely be able to find a way to make it more than $10 million in transfer fees. ”
Free stuff is always appealing. If Shigeru Nishioka is not a Japanese person. Sioux City might think about it for two seconds before refusing. As for now, he just shook his head and said, "Wait a minute." ”
"The water content is 54%. After a while, the applause rose again, in the eyes of industry insiders. The green curve on the computer is like a wonderful episode.
In fact, it's a lot more important than the episodes.
Shigeru Nishioka looked at Su Cheng expectantly, and said, "Su Dong, it's better to prepare for the pricing work a little in advance." Leave it to Inpex. I'm sure that your company's technology transfer fee will exceed $12 million!"
"Wait. ”
"What about $13 million? There will be a lot of companies that want your technology. If you leave the pricing to us, I'll definitely negotiate a $13 million transfer fee. ”
"Wait. Sioux City left Shigeru Nishioka with a little hope.
The water content has been decreasing.
“53%。 ”
“52%。 ”
Shigeru Nishioka finally couldn't help it. Asked, "Chairman Sioux City, what is the technology transfer fee you expect?"
"I'm afraid, a little more than you think. Sioux City ignored him and stepped on the other side.
Shigeru Nishioka thought suspiciously.
Lin Yonggui shuddered when he heard this. I thought to myself: Don't play with it.
Two hours later, Sha Mingyin announced that the final average water content of the experimental well was 51 percent, a drop of 14 percentage points.
Ducat, Gilles and others cheered.
Lin Yonggui smiled.
But. After the whole test, the control room fell into an unspeakable embarrassment.
The oil production of the experimental well is more than 80 tons. That's more than double the previous one, but because of the staggering figure, the delegates didn't know what price to offer.
If the price is too low, it is tantamount to self-deprecation, and if the price increases, is the reason not enough based on the data of a test well?
After a few minutes of silence, a representative of Shell stood up and said, "Chairman of Sioux City, can you show us a few more oil wells so that we can learn more?"
"Absolutely. Su Cheng agreed very happily, and said: "We are preparing to do three oil recovery treatments in this block, and those who are interested can apply for a temporary pass, and they can do observation here recently." ”
The foreigners did not hesitate to give Su Cheng a round of applause. Applause and no money, Westerners like it the most.
Lin Yonggui was in a hurry, and he didn't care about talking about Su Cheng, so he went out to find the phone, called the hotel, and said, "Look for Professor Zhang Yuming." ”
The hotel transferred him to the extension, and after waiting for a long time, he heard Zhang Yuming's dull nasal voice: "Hey, which one?"
"I'm Lin Yonggui, and I still need you to do me a favor. ”
"Secretary Lin!" Zhang Yuming sobered up instantly, listened to Lin Yonggui's words regardless of his previous suspicions, and said without hesitation: "Secretary Lin, you can tell as you like." I didn't do a good job this time, and I was very unwilling, I really didn't have a chance to ......."
Lin Yonggui was surprised: "Which job was not done well?"
"That's it...... Yesterday's. "Zhang Yuming is very weak-hearted.
Lin Yonggui on the other end of the phone frowned, and said in a deep voice: "You mean the old Baku oil field?"
"Yes. It was too late, there were always people at the wellhead, and we had to withdraw. ”
"You mean, you didn't do anything in the Baku oil field?"
"Nope. Zhang Yuming shook his head blankly.
"Are you sure?"
"Sure!"
"How could it be. Lin Yonggui maintained a calm look for a day and fell apart. He thought of a possibility, but it didn't feel real.
Could it be that Dahua Industry has invested three times in large-scale oil recovery since 88 years for 5 consecutive years?
How much does that cost!
