In China, the wild cat well in American slang is directly translated as exploration well, in fact, the direct use of the translated name of the wild cat well can make people understand the meaning of the exploration well - the blind cat meets the dead mouse, which can be used as a perfect interpretation of the exploration well.

Even in a very small number of oil-rich areas, the sighting of oil in the first oil exploration well is a legend, and it is often circulated among oil workers like an anecdote that no one has ever actually seen.

As oil resources around the world become more scarce, oil wells are drilled deeper and deeper, and locations are becoming more and more remote, and the chance of seeing oil in wildcat wells is close to none.

However, the wildcat well will not work without drilling, and no amount of advanced rock evaluation operations can replace drilling operations, and the latter is often used to negate the former and then start the next round of drilling operations.

If Texas in the 20s could get oil with a nest of "wildcat" wells, then in the 90s, a "wildcat" well was needed.

Drill a million-dollar exploration well, know a little bit about what's going on, and then spend tens of millions of dollars to drill a new exploration well.

The Aqijiu Oilfield is an offshore oilfield, so Dahua Industrial has transferred three offshore drilling platforms to take turns. Although Dahua built its own offshore drilling platforms, their daily rent is more than 100,000 US dollars per day, coupled with the high drilling costs, it is not an exaggeration to say that it costs a lot of money per day.

However, even such expensive exploration wells did not find oil quickly, as the oil industry legend goes, one good well out of 10 wildcat wells, and nine dry wells are considered lucky—and if a good well is found, the oil company doesn't mind a few dry wells. The terrible thing is to see nine dry wells, and there is no hope for good wells.

In the past, the Ministry of Petroleum relied on intensive drilling operations to explore for oil, so although foreign companies have good technology, China has always been able to discover many fields that foreign companies cannot discover.

In the case of the Azijiu oil field, Sioux City's requirement was to find the oil. This is not a new requirement for the exploration team, but it is still difficult to complete.

Since the end of the auction. During the Gregorian New Year, Dahua Industrial drilled 6 wells and found nothing, and everyone who paid attention to it was distressed, whether it was offshore drilling or onshore drilling. Every foot drilled down is hundreds of thousands of dollars, and a 6,000-foot exploration well is just the foundation, and the money spent can be converted into dollars, but it can be stacked from the bottom of the well to the top. The frequency of drilling is fast, so naturally the results of drilling cannot be fully utilized......

However, Dahua Industrial has always been this way of doing things quickly. Others were not available for comment.

Of course, downstream partner companies such as Feina Company prefer Dahua Industrial's approach and cooperate as much as possible. However, around Christmas, European and American companies still change people's hearts.

In light of this. Representatives of various companies have started to take turns to varying degrees, and only Dahua Industrial is still continuing exploration operations around the clock.

Until two days before New Year's Day, Liu Jianguo couldn't hold back anymore and called Su Cheng and said, "Xu Jie and I are going back to Beijing to take up our posts." What is the situation in the oil fields? I want a report......"

Sioux City, who was sitting in the office in Baku, said unceremoniously: "There is no report, you can write it yourself." Or find someone to write, the oil field is in good condition, nothing special. ”

Liu Jianguo smiled and retorted: "The condition of the oil field...... There seems to be no trend in crude oil. ”

"It's normal for oil companies to find oil for two or three months. As far as I know, none of the 11 oil fields released by Azerbaijan have been explored for oil splashes. Sioux City explained simply.

Liu Jianguo patted his head on the other end of the phone, and then said: "I want to know your development progress, how can I get accurate information." ”

"Not enough in your eyes?"

"It always has to be written and written. ”

"Hmm...... Then you can ask Yang Ming for information, he has all the basic things, enough for you to write a report. ”

Liu Jianguo laughed a few times, paused for a moment, and said, "If I want to know, when can I find crude oil, don't I have to ask you for such information?"

Su Cheng also laughed, but changed from lying on his back to sitting upright, and said: "You have also been investigating the oil field for two months, you should know when you can find crude oil, half by luck, half by investment, I can't say the time." ”

Liu Jianguo did not give up, and said in an accentuated tone: "If you can determine when to find the oil field, even if it is an approximate date, it will be very helpful." ”

"Oh?"

"Works for us, but also for you. Liu Jianguo's voice was extremely hoarse on the other end of the phone.

Su Cheng smiled: "If I want to determine when I will find crude oil, I must first know where the crude oil is." If you know where it is, isn't that the same as finding crude oil? Oil extraction is gambling, and you can't say it. ”

"Isn't there always a timeline or something?"

"In this way, two years, we are a little shorter than the exploration concession stipulates. ”

"If only you could add more oil. Liu Jianguo came out of nowhere.

Su Cheng had already guessed something from his words, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Why don't you come to talk? It's inconvenient to talk on the phone......

"I'm going back soon, this is also new news, let me inform you before I get on the plane, in short, your goal was to extract oil as soon as possible, right?" Liu Jianguo's tone was much calmer.

"That's right, I'll step up my push. ”

"Don't relax before the Chinese New Year. "Every year from Thanksgiving Day to New Year, it is the most popular day for American companies, and every year from New Year to Spring Festival, it is the most popular day for Chinese companies. Mr. Liu is worried that Dahua will be like other Chinese companies, busy with the holidays and delaying the exploitation of oil fields.

Sioux City agreed to put down the phone. Although he couldn't figure out what Liu Jianguo was reminding, he could also imagine that someone was evaluating the level of Dahua Industrial.

And, apparently, an outsider is assessing.

Perhaps, it is still using some old-fashioned way to judge the strength of a company, just like the politicians of 10, 20, or 30 years ago evaluated state-owned enterprises.

Thinking about it, Sioux City has to admit that the more self-righteous politicians are, the more they can inflict trauma beyond understanding to normal companies, and they must not be taken lightly......

However, Liu Jianguo gave too little information, and in his position, there were too many channels to get the news, so that Su Cheng had no way to start. On the other hand, this level of information cannot be obtained by Dong Feng's Information Bureau......

Thinking of this, Su Cheng picked up the phone again and dialed Lin Yonggui.

They are now standard strategic allies or, to use the buzzword, strategic partners. encountered high-level problems, and the first layer of barrier should be Lin Yonggui.

Su Cheng pondered the language, and finally decided to go straight to the point, asking, "Has anyone recently had the idea of attacking our oil fields in Azerbaijan?"

Lin Yonggui, who was in China, was full of employee welfare, holiday arrangements, Spring Festival greetings and other issues, and was blinded by Su Cheng's first question, and asked for a long time: "Is your oil field oiling?"

Su Cheng pouted, "No." ”

Lin Yonggui was puzzled and said: "Your oil fields in Azerbaijan have not produced oil, who will fight your idea? Is it possible that you want to share the exploration risk with you? Or ...... Somebody pitching you drilling equipment?"

Speaking of the last question, he was a little embarrassed. Most of the companies that can make drilling equipment in China are under the name of the Petroleum Corporation, and it is possible for someone to go to Azerbaijan to fight the autumn breeze under the name of this side.

"I made a mistake...... Su Cheng was reminded by him, and he understood.

This is the so-called concern is chaotic, in the heart of Sioux City, Dahua Industry is drilling the world-class oil field Aqijiu Oilfield, a super oil field with more than 20 tops, which is very important, but other people don't know this, and more people don't even know whether this oil field can produce oil.

The person who came to help now can't be regarded as Lei Feng, at least he is also a local tyrant who dares to help the old lady on the ground, and he must be prepared to take risks.

Judging from Liu Jianguo's statement, the gentleman who pays attention to Dahua Industry is obviously not such a figure.

Lin Yonggui knew that something must have happened to Su Cheng, so he simply asked, "Is there anything you want me to help with?"

Su Cheng hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is there anyone who needs Dahua Industry recently, and then inspects Dahua Industry?"

"So...... I do hear some rumors. ”

"Rumors?"

"After the Spring Festival, there is an exhibition of industrial equipment in France, and several major ministries and commissions are very interested, hoping to take this platform to show the achievements of our reform and opening up. Because it is an exhibition of industrial equipment, the main exhibitors are state-owned enterprises, whether to participate in private enterprises, what proportion, which companies, all ministries and commissions have discussed. What Lin Yonggui said was obviously first-hand news.

Su Cheng also recalled that when Liu Jianguo first met him, he once mentioned an international exhibition......

Now it seems that someone wants Dahua Industrial to participate in the exhibition.

However, it is hoped that Azerbaijan's oil fields will be produced before the Spring Festival, and this is for the sake of ...... Increase the weight of Dahua Industrial?

Sioux City couldn't help but shake his head. Although Dahua Industry is not a world-class equipment enterprise, its main business is not even machinery and equipment, but in the domestic market, Dahua Industry's technology still has its uniqueness, and there is no need for such news as oilfield oil to increase the weight.

In fact, whether the oil field produces oil or not does not prove the equipment technology of Dahua Industrial.

Su Cheng held the phone silently, Lin Yonggui couldn't wait, and asked, "What do you think?"

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Don't worry about it for now, whether you participate or not, I guess it's not up to me to decide." ”

Lin Yonggui didn't take it seriously, and he didn't even ask the oil company to pay attention to this time, it would be a few days before he regretted today's decision.
