Chapter 183 Oil Pipelines
Tang Feng and Sophia had a good time that morning, except that Sophia complained of a sore shoulder.
In less than an hour, Tang Feng and Sophia fired thousands of bullets, of course, this was mainly due to the machine gun bullets that Tang Feng suddenly protruded from an entire chain of bullet bullets in one breath when he demonstrated to the second-hand youths in Little York.
And Dwyan, because it was rare to meet such a bold customer, was also itchy for a while to shoot three or four hundred bullets.
Sitting in the reception room of the Brown Gun Shop, Tang Feng happily signed a check for $50,000, handed it to Dwyane and said, "Man, I like you very much here, the gun I bought is temporarily stored here with you, and I will come over often." Also, this money is today's bullet money, of course, there is also a part of the bullet money that will be paid in advance in the future, you can remember it, when it is spent, you tell me, and I will sign it for you. As for the gun maintenance fee, it is also included, you just look at the buckle! ”
In fact, after Hansen and the others rushed to the ranch, these retired GIs who were very familiar with the US firearms laws and had legal gun licenses had already purchased strong enough weapons, so Tang Feng had actually touched the gun some time ago, although he had not touched a machine gun like Minigang, but at least he had touched the "Black Mamba" Worf. Peterman's McMillan Tac-50 sniper rifle. But in the ranch, there is no place for these weapons to be used at all, where is this professional medium-sized training ground in Dwyan's enjoyment! That's why Tang Feng took out so much money so boldly, not for anything else, just for one thing - to have a good time!
Fifty thousand dollars is not a decimal, Dwyan. Brown worked hard for half a year to earn forty or fifty thousand dollars, and although it included the money for the bullets to be fired in the future, the amount of this check was enough to make Dwyane smile from ear to ear.
"Don, you're such a bold fellow!" Dwyanne complimented, "If you have any firearms needs in the future, even if you come to me, I promise to give you the best price." Also, if you have your gun here, I will take good care of these little treasures for you. As for the maintenance fee or something, I won't calculate it with you, you can come to my gun shop, this is already taking care of me, where can I charge you again! Don, you and Sophia are welcome to come and play with me often in the future! ”
Tang Feng nodded with a smile, and was about to say something polite, but the phone suddenly rang.
"Sorry, I'll answer the phone first." Tang Feng said to Dwyan, and walked out of the gun shop with the phone.
"What? You say that the oil depot refused to provide us with oil storage tanks? Why? Tang Feng's brows furrowed and he asked in a low voice.
"Tyrant, that oil depot belongs to an oil refinery owned by Devon Energy, and the oil produced in these 21 wells used to be piped directly into the oil storage tanks of this oil depot. However, in the past two decades, except for four of these 21 wells, the other wells have long since ceased production, so the main pipeline leading to the oil depot has been abandoned for a long time. If it were to be reactivated, it would cost a lot of money to maintain. That's why the management of the oil depot refused our request. ”
After the crude oil is pumped from the bottom of the well, it is generally collected through a gathering pipeline network of different diameters to a metering station or a gathering and transportation pipeline of a combined station, and then transported through one or two main oil pipelines.
At the other end of the main pipeline, there is usually an oil refinery or terminal depot. These depots are made up of tanks of various sizes, and the crude oil pumped from the wells is collected through pipelines to these storage tanks before being refined or loaded directly onto ships.
It turned out that a small oil field composed of these 21 old oil wells belonged to Devon Energy, so there was an oil pipeline in this small oil field connected to a refinery and terminal oil depot of Devon Energy on the banks of the Beaumontenchis River.
It's just that after so many years, the output of this small oil field is almost minimal, and it is not cost-effective to spend a lot of money every year to maintain the 20-kilometer-long oil pipeline for such an output, so Devon Energy stopped the maintenance of this section of the pipeline more than ten years ago, resulting in the main oil pipeline can no longer carry out oil transmission work.
As soon as he heard Christian say this, Tang Feng understood why people refused. If the oil pipeline, which has been abandoned for so long, is reactivated, it will indeed require an expensive amount of money to carry out major repairs, and now this "small oil field" is only in the re-exploration stage, and the oil has not yet been produced, so the managers of the oil depot will naturally not pay so much money to maintain the pipeline.
If I spend a lot of money to repair this pipeline, what if you can't get oil over there?
Tang Feng smiled helplessly and said to Christian on the other end of the phone. Albert said: "Kerry, when I get back to talk about this, you can run along this pipeline first to see if the damage is serious, I need an exact data." ”
After hanging up the phone, Tang Feng and Sophia said goodbye to Dwyan. Brown, Tang Feng first sent Sophia home, and then returned to the villa through the small bridge that had just been built.
When he first bought the ranch, Tang Feng disliked the Neckis River between the ranch and Sophia, so after buying the ranch, Tang immediately found an engineering company to build a small bridge over the Neckis River, of course, this small bridge is only allowed to pass by light cars, and large cars are not allowed to go. Moreover, at the end of the ranch of Xiaoqiao, there is also an access control, and only those who have Tang Feng's consent can enter the password to enter the security check to enter the ranch.
Back to the ranch and waiting for half an afternoon, Christian. Albert rushed back with two technicians, but judging from the clothes on their bodies, the three of them suffered no less.
"Hey, Tyrant, this command of yours can make us tired." As soon as he entered, Christian began to complain. "The damn pipeline was basically all from the fields, there was no road next to it, and the three of us walked back along the pipeline on foot."
After Tang Feng heard this, his eyes widened in surprise, he just let Christian know about the situation of the oil pipeline, who would have thought that this guy would simply walk a circle, this is almost twenty kilometers away!
He shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Is it okay to add a big red envelope to you at the end of the month?" ”
Christan laughed and said, "Then do I have to thank you for this thug?" ”
Tang Feng smiled and pointed at Christian and asked, "How is the situation with the pipeline?" ”
Christian's brow furrowed, and he said, "The situation is worse than expected, Tyrant, don't forget what kind of place this is, this is less than a hundred kilometers from the Gulf of Mexico, and the weather is hot, so the damage to the pipeline is serious." ”
Tang Feng didn't squeak when he heard it, but thought about it for a long time before asking, "How big is the main oil pipeline?" How much private land do you pass by? ”
"Tyrant, this oil pipeline should be an 18-inch (457 mm) diameter oil pipeline, and the amount of transportation is still okay, as for how much private land it passes, this needs to be understood in detail."
