Chapter 579: First Exploration Well
"Liu Jianguo of the State Council?" Su Cheng was a little short-circuited for a while, and then remembered for a while, isn't this the super enthusiastic "old farmer" he met when he graduated from Peking University?
Peking University before 89 years ago could be called a black hole of offers, but as long as there is a job in China, there is no Peking University student who cannot get it. is Su Cheng, who had the opportunity to enter the General Office of the State Council that year, and this Liu Jianguo was also a leader in the same period, and entered the State Council as he wished. Six or seven years have passed, and Liu Jianguo is still in the State Council, and he has good qualifications and positions.
Although he knew that Liu Jianguo was here for a purpose, it felt good to meet his hometown, and with the identity of a classmate, Su Cheng was in a good mood and said: "Please come over and make some tea." ”
Yang knew that the opportunity was gone.
Not long after, there was a "haha" laughter outside, Liu Jianguo pushed the door in, and said enthusiastically: "Dahua Industry is really good, I didn't expect our Chinese talents to have such a means......"
"Like a storyteller, sit down. When Su Cheng saw Liu Jianguo, he naturally felt close. Although he had just arrived at Peking University in the graduation season, the time there was a major turning point in his life.
Liu Jianguo's appearance not only reminded him of his college life, but also reminded him of his situation and thoughts back then.
Sioux City in the graduation season is qualified and has the opportunity to enter the State Department. If he had done that, seven years later, it would have been a different story. 、
Perhaps, being a colleague with Liu Jianguo can make life stable and comfortable, and use the information known by future generations to make a career. But in the State Department, can you play the most important role?
Sioux City was skeptical.
Liu Jianguo also looked at Su Cheng and said with a smile: "The last time we met in the capital. I thought that your Dahua Industry would focus on the domestic oil refining business, and in the blink of an eye, it got the oil field in Azerbaijan...... I heard that your capital is not small, can you extract crude oil?"
"The probability of oil production is very high, and the question is whether there can be a large oil field. Sioux City was very cooperative in turning the conversation around.
Liu Jianguo immediately followed and asked, "How sure are you that you can get a big oil field?"
"50 percent. It is expected to produce more than 60 million barrels. Su Cheng made up two numbers, which is exactly what Liu Jianguo wanted to hear. As far as the actual output of the Azijiu oil field is concerned, 60 million barrels is only a fraction.
However, this number was heard in Liu Jianguo's ears. Already quite satisfied, he hurriedly asked: "What about the time? How long will it take to reach the output of 60 million barrels? Is the production stable?"
Su Cheng smiled and said, "It can be achieved in one or two years, and it is guaranteed to be faster than the construction of the China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline." ”
Liu Jianguo blushed a little and said, "You guessed?"
"How could you not have guessed. Sioux City smiled. But it was to restore the atmosphere.
Liu Jianguo touched his head embarrassedly and said, "I was actually ordered to understand some of the situation." To tell the truth, the central government needs to know whether the oil resources in Central Asia can support the annual transportation of 20 million tons of the China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline. ”
20 million tons is nearly 150 million barrels of crude oil, which is not much from a macro perspective, but in terms of specific work, it is surprisingly much.
Current supertankers generally carry 200,000 to 300,000 tons of crude oil. A large tanker at an ordinary point can only load 100,000 tons of crude oil, but to transport 20 million tons of crude oil, it requires a large tanker of more than 100 to 200 times.
Whether it's for oil fields, terminals, transportation or sales. This oil pipeline, which is equivalent to the production of the Shengli oilfield, is not easy to maneuver, and in terms of cost, although most of the technology and capital are borne by Dahua Industrial. But the cost of land, personnel, and a considerable part of the auxiliary equipment is also expensive. Thousands of miles of pipeline. The state-owned enterprises represented by PetroChina have to prepare at least tens of billions of yuan, and it is not surprising that they will spend hundreds of billions of yuan as time goes on.
Because of Lin Yonggui, the China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline has begun to be prepared, but this does not mean that the central government will turn a blind eye to this.
Since the beginning of Dahua Industrial's bidding in Azerbaijan, it has been in the name of supporting the China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline, so how much crude oil Dahua Industrial can finally obtain in Azerbaijan is an important matter related to the Sino-Kazakhstan oil pipeline.
Sure that what Liu Jianguo wanted to know was still the source of oil, Su Cheng said very easily: "We plan to produce 10 million tons of crude oil in Azerbaijan, plus the crude oil promised by Kazakhstan, to ensure that there is absolutely no problem with the transportation volume of the China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline." Of course, the oil field acquired by Dahua Industrial has not yet been developed, and when the time comes, if the unexpected happens, we will use a long-term contract to ensure that the forgiveness is sufficient. ”
In the oil market, the contracts that really dominate have always been long-term contracts. The heart-pounding futures market, or the spot market, where unexpected prices are frequent, are traded at the billions level every day, but in fact they account for less than 10% of the total oil trade.
Long-term oil contracts are the backbone of maintaining the energy market. Although it is often shattered, its stability is still commendable.
Liu Jianguo had done his homework and knew what a long-term oil contract was, so he nodded and said, "Does Dahua guarantee that it can sign a reasonable long-term contract agreement?"
"Judging by the situation in Azerbaijan in a few years, it may turn into a buyer's market. Sioux pointed outside. Beneath the building where they are located is the common road in Baku, which is a microcosm of local traffic.
"That's great. Liu Jianguo clasped his hands together and said happily: "The task is completed, I will report it like this, and then it depends on yours." ”
"No problem. What's your plan for the next vacation?" Sioux City winked and laughed, "Baku's oil workers' resort is pretty well repaired. ”
"Of course it's good to have a vacation, but unfortunately I can't go because of the limited budget. Liu Jianguo shook his head and said: "I have been working for so long, and I have only gone abroad three times in total, and both times I have been arranged according to the itinerary, but this time I am the boss myself, and I can't go back with a bunch of bills." ”
"Take the bill and I'll ask the PR guy to reimburse you. ”
"That's not going to work. Liu Jianguo refused and said: "It's not easy to come out, you can't break the rules." ”
"Really?" Su Cheng was a little surprised, the official reimbursement in the 90s was as common as the back door in the 80s, but Liu Jianguo's performance exceeded the average level.
Liu Jianguo said with a smile: "I really don't need to, and I can't stay for too long." But...... When are you going to start drilling?"
"Oil extraction? It will take a while, the first thing to do is to make seismic measurements, and then to drill preliminary exploration wells and do rock formation assessment operations......" Su Cheng roughly explained.
Liu Jianguo frowned when he heard this, and sighed: "You really haven't learned much over the years, if it weren't for our grade, I would have thought that I met a petroleum student." ”
Sioux City Belly: I'm a petroleum professional.
"What about seismic surveys, when will they start and how to do them?" Liu Jianguo wanted to collect more information.
Su Cheng had nothing to hide about the technical aspects, and thought for a while: "We applied for a two-month survey operation, and a ship will pass by the day after tomorrow." The seismic survey is quite interesting, why don't you go and see it together?"
"That's great, how are seismic measurements measured?"
"With flanking machine guns. ”
"What?"
"Machine guns, bubbles, and then seismographs on the ground analyze the geology. If it is a near-shore area, it is also possible to use heavy trucks to ram the ground. ”
Liu Jianguo was surprised: "No wonder you want to apply." ”
"So to speak. Of course, the best geological assessment operation is to use drilling first. We will be drilling a preliminary exploration well in the near future, and if we get a good well, the exploration mission will be considered a complete success. ”
"So, you can't go back anytime soon?"
"I'm afraid so, is there something?" Sioux City was slightly strange.
Liu Jianguo waved his hand again and again, and said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that China wants to participate in an international exhibition, led by senior leaders, and is now looking for a project." There are so many high-tech technologies in Dahua Industry, and I think it has great potential. It's a good opportunity. ”
Su Cheng was thoughtful, but said, "Let's focus on measuring first." The initial exploration well is called the wildcat well in China, which means blind drilling. Let's see how the wild cats in China are. ”
