The strength of a national oil company has always been determined by the country's oil production. The three Saudi National Oil Company, Petroleos Mexicanos, and Petrobras can be regarded as the three grades of the national oil company.

In terms of Azerbaijan's oil reserves, Azerbaijan's national oil company is between Petromex and Saudi Arabia, and it is an extremely powerful national oil company.

At the same time, this will also be a powerful force, purely in business terms, although it cannot be said that it must be stronger than the Seven Sisters of Oil, but it is much stronger than PetroChina. In later generations, Azerbaijan produced more than 80 million tons of oil per year, which was twice the output of China's oil, and the international oil market was becoming a seller's market and a monopoly market.

What is even more exciting is that Azerbaijan is not a member of OPEC. In other words, it is a national oil system that is independent of the world's most powerful oil organization, and it has enough reserves to impress OPEC. In order to unify the pace in the oil market and obtain the maximum benefits, OPEC, which is crazy and cool, has always adopted the method of buying and exchanging interests with the oil systems of these foreign countries, which makes the managers of these countries' oil organizations indirectly gain power from OPEC.

This is an inevitable power game in the world oil market.

Now, Aliyev has brought Sioux into the city in gratitude - perhaps, Azerbaijan does not have the strength to acquire OPEC authority, but its potential is limitless. Just as Sioux City was looking for.

It can be said that no other position in Azerbaijan can arouse the interest of Sioux City, he is a Chinese after all, as long as possible. He will stay in the country. On the other hand, Aliyev can't give a better position to Sioux City, and there is a bottom line for political fat, and appointing a foreigner is a sensitive matter.

The position of vice president of the Azerbaijan State Oil Company is not so much trouble. It is first and foremost a state-owned enterprise, that is, a government-affiliated enterprise, which is neither conspicuous nor in accordance with the rules.

Not only that, but it is one of the few positions in Azerbaijan with an international profile.

Even more rare is Aliyev's heart. In order to arrange a suitable position to give Sioux City in return. He's afraid he didn't bother less.

Su Cheng was quickly stunned by this high-end and high-grade work pie, and only said with superficial prevarication: "I'm afraid I'm too young to help much." ”

"If you can't do it in Sioux City, I can't do it either. Please help me. Aliyev Jr. was more truthful than his father said: "Azerbaijan's oil industry needs to change substantially. Oil is the most important resource in Azerbaijan. But we don't have real experience in doing oil, and I trust your judgment more in Sioux than in Baku. ”

The former Soviet Union naturally knows the most about oil, and the Baku faction is naturally the Baku faction, but the Baku faction can not be trusted. In their heyday, they disobeyed even the general secretary of the Soviets, and did things that did not listen to the propaganda. Aliyev's father and son could not leave their entire wealth to them to take care of.

Rather than hiring managers from Western companies, Aliyev Jr. naturally trusted Sioux City more. Exchanges over the past two years have built trust between the two sides. The development of Dahua Industrial can also provide valuable examples for the reborn Azerbaijan State Oil Company.

Aliyev father and son both said so, and Sioux City no longer had doubts. "Thank you, Mr. Aliyev, for your appointment, and I am ready to do my best to benefit the Azerbaijani National Oil Company within the scope of my duties," he said. ”

"It's me and Ilham who want to thank you. "Aliyev is like a neighbor, full of charm. "You can appoint your favorite managers, you can hire your favorite oil service company." Dahua Industrial can also be. I expect you to become the Hammer of Azerbaijan. ”

The high-ranking officials next to him listened to Aliyev's words and were all moved.

Yamonhammer was the red capitalist of the Soviet Union, the first Western capitalist to cooperate with the Soviet Union after the October Revolution, and for a long time, Yamonhammer was equivalent to the exclusive agent of the Soviet Union for Western trade, and was affectionately called "Comrade Hammer" by Lenin. He was also one of the founders of the Soviet oil industry and contributed to the development of Baku's oil.

Azerbaijan's Hammer is a huge compliment.

Sioux City had to solemnly reiterate again, saying: "I will do my best to assist His Excellency Aliyev Jr. in completing the construction of the Azerbaijani State Oil Company." ”

"Great, our first goal is to restore production in Baku, and if we can reach 10 million tons by the middle of next year, it will be enough to cover the government's expenses. Little Aliyev sat up straight and said, "What if...... If it can reach 15 million metric tons, the country's finances will be greatly improved. ”

"15 million tons, there is still a relatively good chance. "Sioux City didn't say it casually. Not to mention today's technology, 30 years ago, Baku produced as many as 20 or 30 million tons. Even if the reserves are reduced somewhat, Baku's potential is still great.

When he said this, Aliyev's trusted finance minister also smiled, saying: "15 million tons of oil, the current export price is more than 3 billion US dollars, well, if there is really this figure, not only government spending, we may also be able to build some new cities in Baku......"

"Oil extraction is successful. "Little Aliyev hasn't done much practice, but he still thinks a lot about oil.

Like cities such as Kazakhstan and Venezuela, countries like Azerbaijan want to modernize only on the basis of oil. Without oil, Central Asia would be a big and poor country, and with oil, it would be a rich country with a high GDP per capita, whether it was Ilyev Jr. or Big Aliyev, they needed to know about oil.

The Minister of Finance frowned anxiously and said, "How much will it take to restart Baku?"

Little Aliyev looked at Sioux City.

Su Cheng spread his hands and said, "Baku is huge, if it is only pure equipment and technology, hundreds of millions of dollars are enough." Personnel are difficult to calculate and difficult to deal with. In addition, the management and oil extraction are fixed. But the high and low are different. The extraction of onshore oil, in the current situation in Baku, may be more than a dozen dollars per barrel...... It's hard to say about management achievements. ”

The Soviet Union's state-owned enterprises were much more ill than China's, especially in the oil industry. In the Khrushchev era, in the Brezhnev era, in the Gorbachev era, oil workers enjoyed the highest annual wages in the country, were able to enjoy a high level of free medical care in the hospitals of the system, and enjoyed free educational services in the system. Enjoy the free pension service of the system. Working workers are entitled to more than 30 days of paid leave per year, during which they are free to recuperate at a nursing home in any part of the country.

Due to the vast territory of the Soviet Union, the so-called any part of the country can be the Black Sea coast of Ukraine. It could also be the three Baltic states, or other Eastern European countries, and the travel of tens of thousands of miles was not uncommon for Soviet workers. For workers in the oil system, they are able to enjoy higher quality travel, and occasionally even to countries such as Turkey and Egypt.

And during the recuperation period, these are at least equivalent to the standard of three or more sanatoriums. All meals a day and travel essentials are provided free of charge, including clothing and toiletries appropriate for the local temperature.

That is, the oilmen of the USSR could enjoy a long high-end trip with only their documents.

This kind of life. Not to mention Chinese workers, even American workers can only keep their saliva. Later generations of Chinese white-collar workers were even weaker in their planned travels. As for the so-called poor traveler - every Soviet worker's tour was a poor tour, which cost no money to live in a sanatorium and no money to eat. It doesn't cost you anything to drink, and it doesn't even cost you to buy souvenirs...... Thirty days of non-transformational tourism. And then bring back a suitcase, a life that Soviet workers could not have become accustomed to. Of course, suitcases are also delivered.

Soviet workers in certain weak industries may find it a little inconvenient during their travels, but there is absolutely no discomfort in the most extravagant oil system in the Soviet Union, and if there is, any ordinary worker can raise it, and the sanatoriums that have been complained about will definitely be severely rectified.

Naturally, such an enviable life, just by imagining it, knows that it is expensive.

Even as the world's largest oil exporter at the time, the Soviet Union exported more oil per year than Saudi Arabia. Nor could the oil revenues of the Soviet Union sustain such a national enjoyment......

However, although the Soviet Union collapsed, Baku remained. It is also conceivable how the Baku workers, who once enjoyed a Soviet-style life, will demand the Azerbaijani government.

The people in the room all looked embarrassed.

They know how difficult the Baku faction is.

Or little Aliyev, calmly asked: "So, our oil profits may be lower than expected?"

"If the problems of management and production are not solved, it is not surprising that oil profits are zero, and this is not the case with Russia. ”

"So, what is Su Dong's suggestion?"

That's not a good question to answer. Su Cheng leaned slightly, turned to Aliyev, and said: "If I want to speculate, at the beginning of the investment, Baku should be able to maintain a stable production period, but as the mining time increases, Baku's production and management will skyrocket, and the workers will naturally demand better treatment, or even restore the previous treatment." Therefore, the simultaneous introduction of foreign oil enterprises is an option for the rise of the pressurized industry, and if possible, the diversion of workers from Baku to foreign enterprises is also an option. ”

Introducing foreign oil companies is Aliyev's established strategy, and Aliyev Jr. said: "Dahua Industrial has participated in several international bids, what is your strategy?"

Su Cheng shook his head with a smile and said: "What I want to say is not an international bidding, in fact, I have considered how to bid and how to design the bidding, before today, I really didn't think about it......"

Several people laughed.

Su Cheng took a sip of water, waited for the laughter to stop, and thought about it, "I thought about it...... Before Mr. Aliyev invited me to be the vice president of the Azerbaijan State Oil Company, I thought about how to revive the oil industry in Azerbaijan. I know that there are currently two oil fields in Baku that have been out of production for a long time, and their production fell to the point where they could not generate profits 10 years ago, so if His Excellency Aliyev has no opinion, I would like Dahua Industrial to contract these three oil fields...... The names are, Chulbon and Sangia oil fields, respectively. ”

"Chulban and Sangia oil fields?" "Little Aliyev thought about the oil fields he knew in his mind, and said suspiciously: "You want to contract them, how do you do it?"

"I'm going to adopt new technologies and get them back to producing oil. Half of the profits generated, if any, go to Dahua Industries and half to the Azerbaijani government. "If it is a new oil field, this share ratio must be too much, but as a waste oil field, this share ratio is too small. Su Cheng paused for a moment, looked at the reactions of several people, and then said, "The contract period is only three years." After three years, we can negotiate the next round of contracting. In this way, I want to prove the strength of Dahua Industrial, and at the same time, I can also prove the value of the waste oil field in Baku. I believe that if Baku's oil production can be increased, more workers can be attracted, and Azerbaijan's oil development will be reduced, then the bidding for new oil fields and improving old oil fields will attract more foreign oil companies and increase Azerbaijan's competitiveness. ”

Of course, if Dahua Industrial can rejuvenate the waste oil field, it will naturally be able to prove its competitiveness. In the face of the international oil giants eyeing each other, Sioux City can only defend itself against the ripening fruit in this way.

Aliyev was really interested, and said: "Waste oil field, as long as the contract period is three years? Do you think such waste oil field can also generate profits?"

"If you use new technology. ”

"New technology?"

"Tertiary oil recovery technology. "Su Cheng said loudly. Dahua Industrial has been honing the tertiary oil recovery technology for more than five years, and the investment is more than ten times the international average, and the results obtained are indeed a lot.

For a country that drilled the world's first oil well in 1873 and continued to produce oil for 100 years after 50 years of high production, abandoned oil fields are almost everywhere.

If the exploitation of new oil fields is a realistic task for the Azerbaijani government, then saving old oil fields is buying the future.

In the era of $30 oil, tertiary recovery and biofuel technology are future-oriented reserve technologies, and foreign investors do not care about how they will be realized, but only whether the patent fortress is strong.

Only Su Cheng and his Dahua Industry used two or three times the capital to reserve patented technology, and on the other hand, they used five or six times the capital to develop and use technology.

The oil giants with abundant oil fields are not in a hurry to develop the old ones, and Azerbaijan cannot afford not to care.

Aliyev didn't say anything about the important personnel appointments, first rubbed the corners of his eyebrows, and said: "Tell me about this tertiary oil recovery technology, what's going on?"
