Chapter 597: Gulf of Guinea
A month later, Shuichi Minamino appeared on this side of the Gulf of Guinea. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The Gulf of Guinea, the largest bay in Africa, is the Atlantic Gulf off the coast of West Africa, where the equator meets the prime meridian. It starts at Cape Palmas in Liberia in the west and Cape López in Gabon in the east.
The Gulf of Guinea is the largest gulf in Africa, with rich oil resources in more than 10 countries and adjacent areas, with proven oil reserves of more than 80 billion barrels, accounting for about 10% of the world's total reserves.
In addition to oil, other mineral resources are also abundant.
For example, sub-Saharan Africa is very rich in mineral resources, not only many types, but also large reserves, many of which occupy an important position in the world. For example, the reserves and production of gold and diamond occupy the first place in the world. There are also large reserves of copper, iron, uranium and other metal minerals. South Africa is the largest producer of gold in the world.
In the past, Shuichi Minamino didn't plan to come here to dig for treasure, but now that he has a new skill ability, he feels that he can try his luck here. Oil was first his goal, then gold mines, diamonds were also what he wanted to mine.
On this day, Shuichi Minamino was waiting for the arrival of his brother-in-law Loki in the capital of Nigeria.
Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa, with a total population of 173 million, accounting for 16% of Africa's total population, and is also the largest economy in Africa, and the largest oil producer and exporter in Africa.
This time, he wanted to look for oil fields here at his first stop. If you don't find it, go somewhere else. Anyway, the Gulf of Guinea was so big, he felt that he couldn't find what he was looking for.
In the afternoon, Shuichi Minamino finally waited for Loki at the airport.
"Nanye, you pit me this time, will there really be an oil field discovery here?" After getting off the plane, Loki grabbed him and asked without even saying hello after seeing Nanno Shuichi. This guy is now an avid oil lover, well, actually a lover of money. Oil equals money.
Since the last time Shuichi Minamino said that the Gulf of Guinea is rich in oil resources, this brother-in-law Rocky really sent several oil exploration teams to come here to investigate. But half a year has passed, but there is no gain. This was very disappointing for Loki, even though he knew that it was not a short time to find an oil field. Some harvests take years or even more than a decade. But he still has some impatience, just impatience.
Just a month later, Shuichi Minamino told him that oil fields might be found here in Nigeria, so he asked him to come over. And so he came.
In fact, Shuichi Minamino didn't discover the oil field at all now, and he still pit this brother-in-law.
That's right, if he discovers an oil field, he plans to develop it in cooperation with his brother-in-law. He was responsible for discovering the oil fields, and then his brother-in-law was responsible for financing the exploitation. When the time comes, the profit is half for one person.
"According to a report from one of my survey teams, there may be oil resources in a certain area, so I came over and called you by the way. Shuichi Minamino lied. In fact, where did he discover the oil fields? And where did he have any reconnaissance teams?
"Really? And call me over by the way, don't you know I'm busy? Loki gave Shuichi Minamino a blank look, but he was in trust in Shuichi Minamino, and he felt that the other party would not call him over for no reason. Maybe there's something to discover.
"What are you lying about, tomorrow we'll go survey the terrain. "Minamino Shuichi.
"Hey, that's good, that's good, that's good. But this hellish place is really hot!" Even in the airport, Loki felt extremely hot, and that sweat kept flowing.
"Ha~ I promise you will be a handsome guy with a healthy complexion when you go back. Shuichi Minamino quipped. In fact, when he came here a few days ago, he thought it was so hot that he wanted to soak in the water every day to cool off. Unfortunately, water is not very abundant here.
"If that happens, I'm really not handsome. Loki pouted.
The next day, Shuichi Minamino went to a place he knew he was looking forward to.
The place is currently being surveyed by a team of oil companies. These companies are the world's old oil giants, such as Exxon-Mobil Oil Company, Chevron Oil Company, Anglo-Dutch Shell and Fadodal Oil Company.
These companies belong to the old oil hegemons.
It's 60 years, and the oil in the Gulf of Guinea has not yet been developed and is still in the exploration stage. It was only in the eighties and nineties that it was really discovered and developed in large quantities.
In other words, many people in the world have not discovered that the Gulf of Guinea is very rich in oil resources.
But for these old oil companies, they have professional survey researchers and have a long-term vision. So in the 60's they all started to send people here to do reconnaissance work.
It is also after more than 20 years of exploration work that various reserves of oil fields have been discovered here.
Eventually, in the 21st century, many of the oil fields here were taken over by these oil companies.
Now what Minamino Shuichi has to do is to discover as many oil fields as possible, and then buy the land and occupy the nest first. The development was left to Loki. Anyway, with the ability of the Morgan consortium, I believe it is not very difficult.
"YY, I'd better hurry up and find an oil field. Shuichi Minamino said to himself in his heart.
This time, Shuichi Minamino directly asked Loki to get a private jet, and the two of them took the plane directly and went around first, and then said that in fact, he was planning to deceive Loki. Said he had sent several reconnaissance teams in the area to investigate. Now it's time to take each other to see the terrain.
At the same time, he sits on an airplane and flies at a low altitude, which can also turn on his detection capabilities to detect underground. Its range is 5 square kilometers in size and can penetrate underground up to 5,000 meters deep. If there were oil fields underground, he would definitely be able to survey them.
After all, five thousand meters is already a very deep existence.
On the plane, Loki looked at the dense forest in front of him, and after flying for a long time, he was a little impatient: "Nanye, you didn't lie to me, are you, will there be an oil field in such a place?"
"My professional surveyor told me that there is a very high possibility of oil fields in this geographical location, and we will just look at this place now and wait for news. Minamino pouted.
"Well, I hope so! But I heard that ExxonMobil seems to have sent people to Nigeria to survey the oil fields in recent years, and I don't know if it has been rewarded. Loki frowned.
