The feeling of looking at an offshore rig up close is very different from looking at an offshore rig from afar.

The offshore drilling platform in the distance is like a steel base floating and sinking on the vast sea, giving people a reassuring emotion, but also making people sweat in their hearts, always worrying that at a certain moment, there will be a big wave that will wipe out all traces of human beings. At this time, the offshore drilling platform was a product of hope and majesty, and it was the backing of the offshore oil people.

Offshore drilling platforms in the near vicinity are difficult to get praise. Narrow and full of oil is its natural image, the frequent occurrence of 15 meters of waves and 90 kilometers per hour wind makes it look like a swaying weak duckweed, such as the self-built container sea view house, in addition to the tired sea view, only the blazing heat and extreme cold.

Su Cheng patiently patrolled and worked back and forth on several offshore drilling platforms, changing an offshore drilling platform every day, and it could turn around in more than a week, not to mention that the sense of urgency of the workers has increased a lot, and the work efficiency of local cadres has been improved even more.

However, crude oil is still not seen.

Su Cheng felt anxious and had to pretend to be calm on the surface, but several years of entrepreneurial career had cultivated his firm confidence, and the fog in front of him would not make him close his eyes and lose his courage.

But the feeling of walking in the fog is never better.

In Shu Lan's eyes, Su Cheng's smile inevitably lacked too much, especially the silence when she was alone, which made her feel that Su Cheng was forcing a smile.

After realizing this, Shu Lan's mood also became depressed, in addition to doing a good job on the platform. Shulan spends most of his free time cooking food.

She wanted to relieve the pressure on Sioux City with delicious food.

The effect of this is evident because of the single food on the offshore rig. The taste is also simple, and when you get a well-cooked food, it is easy to think of something beautiful. Especially since it is located on the sea, there are "surprises" every day.

Although it is difficult to find fish and shrimp near the noisy drilling platform, the rumbling engine noise does not prevent the boat from fishing and fishing a little farther away, and if you have a little skill, you will always have some catch. Fishing friends of many coastal cities in later generations. I like to charter boats to go fishing in the South China Sea, and the areas marked by offshore drilling platforms often have hundreds of kilograms of fish.

Chubby volunteered to grab the job of fishing.

He wasn't used to working mechanically on a drilling platform. The freedom to go to sea by boat was quite to his liking, and the second mate of the supply ship, who was a fisherman, became his partner, and the two went to sea together.

Day 1. Chubby's luck is good. It really allowed him to catch a precious sea sturgeon, that is, the species used to make Russian caviar, which is quite a rare fishing experience, and many people who have fished for a lifetime may not be able to transfer a Russian sturgeon in the sea.

This success made Xiaopang's interest greatly increased, and he patted his chest to ensure a steady supply of ingredients every day.

As it turned out, all he had was the luck of a newbie.

The next day. On the third day, Chubby's catch was pitiful. The same is true for the fishermen who accompany him, not to mention meeting the needs of everyone on the platform, even if it is difficult to select the best parts to make a good table.

Shu Lan smiled and said that it didn't matter, but Qin Yun was not so good at talking, so he asked his speedboat to fill up with fuel, and said kindly: "Husband, if there is no nearby, then go fishing in a farther place, and you must return with a full load!"

Xiaopang looked at Qin Yun with tears in his eyes and said, "The boat is so small, it is very dangerous to drive far away." ”

Qin Yun turned his five fingers into claws and slapped him on the shoulder: "My husband is definitely not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. ”

"Your husband is me. "Xiaopang is very interested in fishing, but if he wants to talk about the activity of boat deep-sea swimming, he is not sensitive, and looks at Qin Yun pitifully with a pair of small eyes.

As the daughter of Qin Shiwei, who is full of muscles, Qin Yun's muscles are all on her heart, she firmly twisted her chubby face in the direction of the sea, and said calmly: "If my husband is greedy for life and afraid of death, what's the use of coming." ”

"Making money?" Chubby struggled uncertainly.

Qin Yun thought about it, nodded slightly, and said, "That's right, so don't run too far, find a place with a signal to fish." ”

Then, she handed Da Tu's mobile phone to Chubby.

Chubby looks, your sister, this is a satellite phone!

Where can I find a place without a satellite signal in the sea where you can't see the shore?

Qin Yun didn't care about him, and forcefully pushed him onto the speedboat.

Although on the surface, Qin Yun takes the technical route and mixes in Dahua Industrial with a strong financial level, on the other hand, she will not waste her female advantages, in the entire Dahua Industry, except for Li Lin, no one is more suitable to take the lady route than her.

Therefore, Shu Lan's unhappiness, Qin Yun must find a way to solve it.

Xiaopang had to form a two-person fishing team with the second mate of the fishermen, and floated alone on the surface of the Caspian Ocean.

The boat does not necessarily get more fish when it goes far, but the supply ship brings a relatively rich variety of food. Now Azerbaijan, like Russia, is caught in a cycle of soaring prices and sluggish business, but the purchasing power of the dollar is beyond doubt, and the former Komsomol members and party members, with the same ferocity as Lenin, love George Washington, Andrew Jackson, Benjamin Franklin...... Half of the extravagant establishments in the Baku region are faced with oil companies or their bribes.

However, the supply of supply ships was always intermittent, so Shulan thought of many ways to make the most of the ingredients available.

Sioux City's ice-like face seemed to have melted because of Shulan's efforts, but the turning oil discovery still did not appear.

The captains of several drilling teams were holding back their efforts to produce oil, but the more anxious they were, the more they were looking for the wrong place, and the new round of exploration wells on the three drilling platforms were quiet, and there was not even a chance to test the oil.

By the third week, not only the partners of Sioux City, but also within Dahua Industrial, different voices began to appear.

Although he took up the position of chairman, he also inevitably participated in the specific affairs of the company, and if he did not go back for a week or two, he would not go back for nearly a month, and many company projects would be suspended.

The heads of the headquarters and branches complained that Sioux City had to choose to return to Shanghai two days a week.

So, starting in June, Sioux City has spent two days a week on a round-trip charter flight. After arriving at Shanghai in the early morning, I set sail again in the evening. He also had to spare one day of the remaining four days to return to Baku and speak on the phone with Dahua's board of directors at his local office.

The Aqijiu oil field, which could not produce oil cleanly, gradually became the target of recreational attacks.

Originally, Azijiu, who produced crude oil continuously, gave the seven-member committee a strong confidence, and it was because of this that they would jointly form the Pan-Asia Fund. However, Su Cheng personally supervised no new oil wells, which gave everyone a bad feeling.

So far, no partner has clearly changed their minds, but it is not surprising that some people will change their minds if the disadvantages continue to accumulate.

The hesitation within the Pan Asia Fund is accumulating, but the bulls in the futures market are slowly gaining spirit. They don't have the trust that oil companies have in oil, and seeing that the Pan Asia Fund has invested more than $1.3 billion in shorts, financial companies that want to make money are busy making bets.

The futures market is a zero-sum game, where someone loses in order for someone to win. The emergence of the Pan Asia Fund, in the eyes of the City of London and Wall Street gentlemen, is like a sacrifice that has been roasted red and oiled.

Although Sioux City sees them in the same way, it is clear that the former is more marketable in the current situation.

In mid-June, no new wells were found.

After carefully reading the seismic data more than 800 meters long, Qin Shiwei suggested that the exploratory wells should be increased and the exploratory wells should be reduced or stopped.

In order to further explore the boundary of the oil and gas reservoir and determine the area of the oil and gas field, the exploratory well is a small number of exploratory wells in the outer ring of the oil and gas reservoir in a planned manner. For evaluating the reserves of an oil and gas reservoir, exploratory wells are the most suitable.

Qin Shiwei's suggestion is not the first time, Su Cheng thought about it again and again, but still did not agree, explaining: "The oil reservoirs in the Aqijiu Oilfield are complex, I'm afraid a dozen exploratory wells are not enough, but with the current number of drilling platforms, let's lay more than a dozen exploratory wells, let alone three months." ”

"But the progress of our oil wells is slow, and even if the oil is produced, it is difficult to maintain production. ”

"You've seen three oil wells in the past, and oil wells are the best indication of production. ”

"Academically speaking, the first choice to prove the reserves of an oilfield is to explore the edges. ”

"In the futures market, there are few academic ones. Su Cheng still shook his head and said: "What is the output of the oil field, those who stare at crude oil futures every day must be very sensitive, but if you want to talk about reserves, reserves can be faked on the one hand, and on the other hand, they can't hit the market immediately." ”

"But there are no reserves, and it is not clear. "Qin Shiwei has always been very stubborn in the field he is good at.

Su Cheng thought for a while, and said slowly: "Then send 507 out, and dig two more side wells, as many as there are." ”

"It's fine. Qin Shiwei agreed, he did not have the concept of a futures market. According to his idea, it would be quick to figure out the reserves of the oil field in a year, and adding an offshore drilling platform would be enough to speed up the exploration progress.

Sioux City is also leaving a way back for its own plan, and if it is not good, the announcement of proven reserves will also delay the offensive in the financial market.

His thinking also slowly fell into the financial market.

Until the noise of a motor woke him up.

"Shigeru Nishioka of Japan's Inpex and Hidetomo Hirano of Sumitomo Trading Co., Ltd. are here. Yang Ming explained to Su Cheng. They are all financial leaders who are ready to buy long crude oil, but before they make the dream of whether to eat the pan-Asian fund, there are always cautious companies that will come to the site to do some investigations.
