With the completion of the drilling of the South 2 oil well, more and more Russians are coming to the makeshift camp in Kuvak.

Neither the cold air nor the muddy mud of the former Soviet Union could stop the desire for money.

When Gorbachev buried the hope of the Soviet Union, and when European and American countries began to proudly proclaim "The End of History", everyone naturally faced the West and yearned for gold and silver.

In just a few days, Sioux met several high-ranking cadres of the former Soviet Union, as well as officials with real power who were serving in the Russian Federation, and also rushed to the Tyumen oil fields.

At this time, Russia was like a warehouse for taking and taking, and the administrators tried their best to bring more wealth out of it. Chapter 375 Well Deep Russian oil was already a well-known gold mine as early as the end of the eighties.

However, the cost of oil extraction is really not low. Not to mention anything else, in the former poverty of the Soviet Union, many officials could not raise people in Siberia, and how to develop oil.

At this time, loans from Western countries were mainly focused on power, smelting and other value-preserving factory projects, while oil companies tended to take advantage of the fire. As Sioux City predicted, oil companies in the United Kingdom, Norway, the United States and other countries have chosen to own their own oil fields, invest themselves, develop their own oil, drill their own oil, produce their own oil, transport their own oil, and sell their own models—...... Although every company will have one or two Russian partners, the power and benefits are scarce, and it is difficult to meet the growing demands of the executives......

In some contracts, Russian businessmen were initially able to receive a few percent of the shares, but as the amount of investment increased, the Russians' share was constantly diluted. By the time it comes to real output, the share of Russians cannot be smaller.

Reasonable and legal means, coupled with the strength of foreign oil companies, soon made it clear to the Russians that in order to make a lot of money in the oil industry, Kuvak's model was the best 375 chapter 375 deep. If oil can be extracted, the initial money will not be small, the former Soviet Union's high-ranking officials exchanged voices, and the competition for exploration has received the attention of the boss of the oil field, and there are really a lot of people gathered in the temporary camp.

Nobushige Ito and Masaio Lee are also closely following the situation in Dahua. If Dahua's first well produces oil, whether their oil wells can produce oil or not, the race for exploration will be regarded as a loss, and the more than $50 million paid for this will be equivalent to a waste.

Companies like Japan and Singapore are different from European and American companies. After years of development, the latter's oil companies have become huge super companies, even if they do technical services, they are also for the whole large oil field. A contract of hundreds of millions of dollars is not necessarily in sight. Because of their high costs, to do technical services for small oil fields, the labor cost alone is not a division... Calculate.

As for large and medium-sized oil companies such as Dahua Industrial and Xinma Group, it is different. If a super-integrated oil field with 2 billion tons of reserves is taken out, the hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars advanced in advance may put a heavy burden on them, and it is not as good as the flexible profits of small oil fields.

It can be said that in the Russian market, the largest oil fields eventually belonged to giants like the Seven Petroleum Sisters, and the small and medium-sized oil fields belonged to Russia's senior officials, and only the technical service market was still vacant and was competed by oil companies such as Dahua Industry.

If it weren't for the foresight that Russia would be nationalized in the future, Sioux City would have to compete for Russian oil fields. Now it's avoided.

By the time Putin came to power in 2000, there were no more than eight years. In such a short period of time, it is to lose a Daqing oil field to Sucheng, and he can only earn back a cost at most, and when the oil field is nationalized, the money is not earned, not to mention, 8 years of time will be wasted.

In the absence of long-term access to oil fields, technical services are actually the most lucrative business, and Sioux City gambled tens of millions of dollars for the small Kuwak oil field.

Therefore, while waiting, there were daily drinking feasts in the makeshift camp. Bottles of vodka, whiskey, and two-pot heads are served on the table, and every day five, six, seven, or eight strong men or women in Russia can be poured out.

Li Zhengfu and Nobuyigge Ito were also mixed in the banquet, wanting to take the opportunity to get to know a few more people.

Sikong Guan is an old man in the banking industry, and he is very familiar with how to keep customers, so he pours alcohol whenever he sees Singaporeans and Japanese.

Russians, like the Chinese, also like to drink and coax, several times, the Japanese and Singaporeans as long as they appear. They are all professional managers in standard international large companies, and they live a life of drinking two sips of red wine, and where can they compare with the soldiers of the alcohol test of state-owned enterprises and banks, they come and go, and they don't even dare to get close.

After a week of drunken dreams with Russian customers, various news gradually came from the oil field.

"The first oil test failed. ”

"The second and third oil tests failed. ”

"The first oil test failed. ”

"The first oil test failed. ”

One message after another, all of them were failures.

At the beginning, everyone can still calmly treat failure - 20 times to test the oil can produce oil, which is considered a blessing to invite the sky, and a few failures are nothing.

However, when the "20th oil test failed. When the news came, many people were calm.

"I personally went to Well No. 2 in the South. The longer Qin Shiwei stayed in Dahua Industry, the deeper his feelings became, and he didn't want to see Dahua fail, so he hurriedly found Su Cheng in the office, and wanted to run away after dropping a sentence.

Su Cheng hurriedly grabbed him and said: "It won't help you to go to South 2, they can't test the oil, maybe it's a technical problem, maybe it's really no oil, no matter what, at most tomorrow, the oil test will be over, can you use a day to guide them to test the oil?"

"There's always more chance. When I was in the Shengli Oilfield, I explored hundreds of oil wells, and I was more experienced. "With more than 20,000 oil wells in Shengli Oilfield, it is indeed a good place to practice exploration. After decades of development, Shengli Oilfield is still continuing to explore, and the oil test production is still quite a lot.

"Even if you have to go, you have to go to the second well, where the oil test will start soon. "Well No. 1 can't produce oil, and it's too late. ”

Qin Shiwei hit this idea, and immediately said: "Then I will go to the second well, and I have to test the oil for it." However, I heard that the oil well of the Xinma Group is about to start testing oil, you have to send a helicopter to take me there, Yi Wai, I have to bring some equipment to go, you have to find me a big transport plane, otherwise it will take 2 days on the road, and it will be troublesome if there is any delay..—......"

"No problem. Su Cheng didn't need him to finish, and agreed in one bite.

Qin Shiwei saw that he didn't seem to be joking, and couldn't help but say: "It's not cheap to lease a helicopter now, and heavy transport planes are even more expensive, you have to ask Aliksai for help." ””

"Even if you don't say it, I'll find you a helicopter. Dahua's chief drilling engineer spent two days running on the road, what is that? ”

Qin Shiwei has been in state-owned enterprises for a long time, and he is used to bargaining before a business trip, and after listening to Su Cheng's words, he had a strange expression, shook his head and smiled: "You are really willing to be capitalists." ”

Before 1992, the capitalists were not joking, they were quite serious hats. However, with the speech of the Southern Tour, the Chinese people no longer ask about the surname of the capitalist society, and the capitalists can take it as a joke.

Su Cheng smiled faintly and said, "As long as you can earn the cost of the helicopter, I will earn it, and the recording of labor is the real recording." ””

"It's best if you can record it. Qin Shiwei is still not very accustomed to Dahua's way of spending money, but it is really useful to save two days at this time, otherwise he must be thrifty.

The next day.

Dahua's second oil well began oil testing.

At the same time, the new No. 1 oil well of the Xinma Group has also entered the state of completion drilling, with a depth of 2,300 meters, which is 200 meters shorter than they expected, also to buy time.

At the feast on this day, there were far fewer drinkers.

Even the old Russians, who are addicted to alcohol, only take two sips, stop with a half-pound and eight taels, and then talk clearly about the oil test with others.

From morning to night, there were constant telegrams, but none of the news representing the success of the oil test was delivered.

Everyone was a little disappointed, but they got used to it.

On the third day, there was still no news.

Lee Zhengfu felt the pressure while observing Sioux City.

Nobuyshige Ito saw his pressure and comforted, "Now is the time to test the level of the drilling team. The amount of money we spend should be rewarded at this time. No matter how many people they have, they can't invest many people in a drilling well, but our technology can play a big role. ”

"It's also said that our chances of winning should be the greatest. ””

The two of them talked, and it seemed that the pressure was much less.

However, there was still no good news on this day, but Dahua Industrial tested the oil faster than them. Under careful questioning, Dahua Industrial works 24 hours a day, and although the Norwegian exploration team is also working hours, only one-third of them start work at night.

On the fourth day, it was still the same, and seeing that the oil test was coming to an end, not only the two companies, but Alixei could not sit still.

Whether there is really oil in the Kuwak region has become a question.

As the second well of the Xinma Group was about to be completed, Li Zhengfu made a decision: "Drill to 3,500 meters and then complete the well." ”

It was not an easy decision. It takes several days to drill an extra 1,000 metres, and it's normal to delay for a week or two if you get into trouble in the rock formations below. However, two wells of Dahua and one of the well of the Xinma Group failed to test the oil, leading the experts of the Xinma Group to attribute the failure to the insufficient depth of the wells. At a depth of 2,500 meters, it is indeed a bit shallow.

In doing so, Lee is putting his hopes between 2,500 and 3,500 meters, which does make some sense from a technical point of view.

His decision put considerable pressure on Dahua Industrial.

Whether to continue the original well depth or increase the well depth will directly affect the outcome of the well. ！！！
