At the beginning, for the sake of insurance, when Tang Feng bought this ranch and the twenty-one old oil wells, he also deliberately took the ownership of the oil gathering pipeline network within the ranch, but it is a pity that the oil pipeline of Devon Energy is not sold, otherwise Tang Feng really wants to buy the main oil pipeline to Beaumont together.

As a result, I didn't buy it at the time, but now there is a problem, and it must be solved as soon as possible. Because after more than a week of drilling, the explorer company has now drilled to a depth of 2,500 meters, and in two or three days, it will be able to drill into the reservoir below 3,000 meters.

When the time comes, what awaits Tang Feng will be a steady stream of crude oil gushing out!

What can be done with this crude oil? Do you want to use tanker trucks to transport it out? That's a joke! Therefore, the oil pipeline must be completed before the oil is produced!

Tang Feng rubbed his brows, grabbed the phone and called the head, the phone rang twice, and the head over there picked up the phone.

"Boss, this well has stopped drilling for the time being, and you can rent another set of equipment and choose another well for exploration."

"Don, can you ask why this is happening?"

"Boss, I can't help it, the main thing is that there is something wrong with the oil pipeline. Those pipelines have been abandoned for more than ten years, and many places need to be overhauled. ”

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then the head said, "Tang, you should have done these things well in advance." Forget it, since that's the case, let's change places and continue drilling. ”

I could hear that the leader was a little unhappy, and Tang Feng couldn't help it, he thought about it a lot, and all he thought about was something about property rights, but he forgot about such a stuck thing.

"Kerry, after lunch, you're going to the Beaumont city to ask about building or fixing the pipeline, and I'm going to go to Devon Energy's branch in Beaumont and see what they mean. I mean, since Devon Energy is not willing to pay to repair this pipeline, then I will try to buy this pipeline as much as possible! ”

Christian nodded, turned and walked out with the two technicians.

Tang Feng thought for a moment, grabbed the phone again, and gave it to Jack. Jones struck.

"Hey, Don, why did you remember to call me?" Jack on the other end of the phone. Jones seemed very enthusiastic, after all, Tang Feng bought his family's ranch so that the three brothers could settle his father's inheritance well. Jones has to thank Don.

"Hey, Jack, I really want to ask you about something this time. You've told me before that you're in charge of the refinery at Devon Energy, so I'd like to ask, from the joint station outside my ranch to the section of the oil pipeline at your Beaumont refinery, do you have any intention of selling Devon Energy to the outside world? ”

"Don, you mean you want to buy this section of the pipeline? Did you discover a new reservoir in that old field? ”

"No, as of now, the drilling has been drilled for 2,500 meters, and no new oil layers have been found. However, the staff I sent to contact the oil depot said that the managers of your oil depot need to invest a huge amount of money to repair the oil pipeline because that section of the oil pipeline has been abandoned for a long time, and you Davin Energy do not plan to repair this oil pipeline, so I want to ask you how you Davin Energy want to treat that oil pipeline! Jack, you know, I've always been a troublemaker, and if, I mean, if that old field can be surveyed for a new reservoir, then the transportation of crude oil is a bottleneck for me. I didn't want to get stuck in my neck with this little nuisance, so I thought, since you Davin Energy don't want that old pipeline, why don't you sell it to me? I'll pay to fix that old pipeline! ”

Jack on the other side of the phone. Jones thought for a moment, and then said, "Don, why don't you come to my office in the afternoon, and let's meet and talk about it carefully." I'll report to my boss what you mean and see what they think. ”

"Alright, we'll see you in the afternoon!" Tang Feng took note of Jack. Jones's office location, and then hung up the phone.

Jack. Jones's office is located right inside the Beaumont Refinery. Jones is the chief engineer of the refinery, and he is considered a senior leader in the plant.

"Hey, Jack!"

"Hi, Don!"

In Jack. Inside Jones's office, Don and Jack. Jones met, and after a brief greeting, Tang Feng went straight to the point.

"Jack, what do you Davin Energy think about that old pipeline?"

Jack. Jones shook his head slightly and said, "Tang, after I received your call this morning, I spoke directly to the general manager of the Beaumont branch, but it seems that the above does not want to give up this pipeline, although this pipeline has been abandoned for more than ten years. You know, the internal things in big companies are more complicated, and there are some things that I don't know why. ”

Tang Feng's brows frowned slightly, and he said, "Jack, I have no intention of investigating those things at the top of your company, I just don't understand, an oil pipeline that has obviously been abandoned, what is the use of your company keeping it?" ”

Jack smiled bitterly and said, "Don, don't worry, I can help you ask your friends at the head office about this matter, maybe there will be other changes." ”

Tang Feng thought for a while and asked, "Jack, can I ask how much it cost you to build this pipeline?" I can give you a price that satisfies your head office! ”

"The pipeline was built very early, and there's no comparison with what it was worth now," Jack said. At that time, $10,000 could have repaired several kilometers of pipelines, but now, $10,000 is not enough to build even one kilometer of pipeline for cement. ”

Tang Feng also smiled embarrassedly, and then said, "Then according to the current standard." I don't really understand this piece, how much does an 18-inch oil pipeline cost a kilometer now? ”

"At the current price, the cost of building an 18-inch 18-inch pipeline is about $200,000, and of course, because the pipeline you want doesn't have a heating station and doesn't need to build a pressurized station, that's why the price is so low."

Hearing this price, Tang Feng nodded slightly, this price is a very normal price, you must know that the first phase of the oil pipeline from China to Kazakhstan a few years ago used a 32-inch (812 mm) pipeline, a length of more than 1,000 kilometers, and a high-cost total metering station, a pressurized station in the middle, a heating station and other ancillary facilities, the whole project is only 700 million US dollars, and the pipeline is across the Pamir Plateau, and the construction difficulty is quite large. The manual aspect alone goes far beyond the manual construction of oil pipelines in the plains.

"Well, you can tell your friends at the headquarters that I'm going to buy out this abandoned oil pipeline for four million dollars!"
