Xinyi Oilfield is located in the mouth of the Bohai Bay, the preliminary exploration work was completed by the exploration team of CNOOC, 94 years invited the United States Shaw Conn Petroleum Company to jointly carry out further oil and gas resources exploration in this sea area, up to now the exploration results show that the oil reserves of Xinyi Oilfield are close to 500 million barrels, which is a major discovery in the history of offshore oil exploration.

CNOOC has put its oil exploration, development, production and sales business into the company to be listed, and the recoverable oil reserves of the company to be listed on the stock market are only 1.8 billion barrels, which shows that the complete oilfield with reserves of 500 million barrels is a considerable figure.

However, there is a big gap between the existing information and the impression in Zhang Ke's memory, and Zhang Ke's oil knowledge is scarce, and he also knows that the Xinyi Oilfield is the second largest integrated offshore oilfield in China after the onshore Daqing Oilfield, and by 08, the proven reserves exceeded one billion tons, that is, more than 7 billion barrels, which is four times the oil reserves of CNOOC's proposed listed companies.

Scale is the most important competitiveness of oil companies, scale includes the scale of production, production and sales, but also includes the scale of oil reserves, if CNOOC's oil reserves to be listed increase from 1.8 billion barrels to 9 billion barrels, the potential value of the increase is definitely more than doubled.

The Xinyi Oilfield is fully capable of producing 100 million barrels of crude oil per year, not to mention that the international crude oil price will soar in the future, even if the international crude oil price in '99 is calculated, it can also increase the sales revenue of the company to be listed on the stock market by $2.2 billion. Just imagine, when the international crude oil price soars to more than $100 per barrel, and Xinyi Oil Stone alone can provide at least $10 billion in sales revenue and more than $6 billion in profits for the company to be listed on the stock market every year.

However, according to Zhang Ke's understanding of the securities market, CNOOC's share price did not soar miraculously, which means that Xinyi Oilfield has not been able to make due contributions to the profits of listed companies. Although it is said that there is a process of geological exploration and discovery, the early exploration area is limited, the technical measures are limited, and the estimation of oilfield reserves is much more conservative, and with the continuous deepening of exploration work, it is normal to discover the growth of oilfield reserves, but all kinds of things involve the head of CNOOC's partner Shaw Conn Petroleum Company of the United States -- Zhang Ke has always liked to maliciously speculate on others -- he can't help but think of the worst.

Zhang Ke frowned and looked at the information Zhai Danqing took, although there were many doubts, but the existing information could not provide them with more information.

"Any other information?" Zhang Ke asked.

"No matter how detailed the information is, I can only look at the internal information of CNOOC." Zhai Danqing said, "I inquired about it, CNOOC is talking with Xiao Kangen about cooperation in the exploitation of oilfield resources in this sea area, and the negotiations involve cooperation between China and the United States in the field of offshore oil exploitation, and the level of confidentiality of the negotiation materials is relatively high." Zhai Danqing knew that it was not impossible for Kumho to want to see these materials, but he didn't know if there was no need to make such a big move.

"You help me connect Liu Chengwei's phone, I'm going to see him soon." Zhang Ke said decisively.

In '98 or '99, the domestic crude oil imported was only 280 million barrels, and all the doubts in this matter point to a super-large oil field that may produce 100 million barrels of crude oil per year.

Tang Jing came out wrapped in a bath towel after taking a shower at this time, and saw Zhang Ke looking at the materials on the table with a solemn expression, Zhai Danqing stood in front of the window and made a call, knowing that something was really wrong, so he went into the bedroom to change his clothes and came out.

Liu Chengwei and others had just arrived at the dormitory of CNOOC office when they suddenly received a call saying that they had urgent matters to discuss, and they didn't know what was going on, so they had to go downstairs and take a car to the Peninsula Hotel. Sun Shangyi and Ye Jianbin had just returned to their residences, and they all rushed over after receiving an urgent notice from here.

When Liu Chengwei and the others arrived at the Peninsula Hotel, it was almost late at night, and they went directly to the luxurious suite where Zhang Ke stayed to discuss things. The rain stopped, and it was a clear blue night outside the window, and the light strip on the seashore in the distance was like a dazzling and charming glittering necklace.

"Based on some information provided by Kumho Overseas Company, the Kumho Economic Research Center conducted a dragnet investigation on the organizations and institutions that were hiding behind the scenes and releasing negative news that was not conducive to CNOOC's listing and financing, and in addition to the Japanese consortiums such as Mitsui & Co., which were the forces we expected before, they also found a special organization," Zhang Ke showed Liu Chengwei, Ye Jianbin and Sun Shangyi the fax sent by Cui Guoheng. As one of the most important partners of CNOOC and one of the most important forces in the field of Sino-US offshore oil cooperation, why did Xiao Kangen Petroleum Company prevent CNOOC from going public and financing? ”

Zhang Ke looked at Liu Chengwei, if Liu Chengwei couldn't tell him the answer, he could only remind the central government through other channels to be careful of all cooperation with Xiao Kangen Petroleum Company in the field of offshore oil exploration and exploitation.

Liu Chengwei held the fax and frowned, such an obvious suspicion cannot be ignored, and CNOOC has placed its oil exploration, development, production and sales business into the company to be listed, and the cooperation with Xiao Kangen Petroleum Company in the field of exploration and exploitation belongs to the business scope of the company to be listed, Kumho is qualified to question such an obvious doubt.

Liu Chengwei handed the fax to Xie Lei, his assistant and chief financial officer of the company to be listed.

Xie Lei said hesitantly: "The negotiation materials with Xiao Kangen Petroleum Company do not belong to the scope of public announcement......

Zhang Ke didn't say anything, Liu Chengwei said to Xie Lei: "You go to get the information, and I'll report to Secretary Xiao Yucheng." He knew that many state secrets were not confidential to Kumho, and that they could now use state secrets as an excuse to push Kumho's inquiries, and Kumho could retract his previous financial investment commitments, and he himself had strong suspicions that Shaw Conn Oil Company was behind these petty moves.

Xie Lei took the car back to the office to get the information, and Liu Chengwei and Zhang Ke asked for a room to report the latest situation to the secretary of the party group of CNOOC.

Xie Lei went and returned half an hour later, Liu Chengwei's phone report took a long time, Zhang Ke believed that Liu Chengwei and members of the CNOOC Party Group should also be able to vaguely guess what went wrong, after all, the cooperation area with Xiao Kangen Oil Company is also limited, at this time there is such a big doubt, if the management can not analyze what went wrong, then it is called dereliction of duty.

Liu Chengwei came out of the room, Xie Lei took a document to show him, Liu Chengwei flipped through a few pages, frowned, and after a while, handed the document to Zhang Ke, Ye Jianbin and Sun Shangyi, and said: "This is the minutes of the meeting between CNOOC and Xiao Kangen Petroleum Company on the development of Xinyi Oilfield......

Zhang Ke sat on the sofa and watched the minutes of the talks, the preliminary proven reserves of the Xinyi oilfield are 500 million barrels, and the domestic dependence on overseas crude oil imports is increasing, and CNOOC intends to focus on the next step to cooperate with Xiao Kangen Petroleum Company to develop this oilfield located in the mouth of the Bohai Bay. According to the minutes of the talks and a series of memorandums of negotiation, Xiao Kangen Petroleum Company proposed that in order to alleviate the pressure on CNOOC's development funds, it could fully invest in independent operations in exchange for 49% of the interests in the oil extracted by the cooperative project, and the minutes of the talks further stated that the further exploration and discovery of oil resources in the Xinyi Oilfield will also be based on the first cooperation outline for cooperative development. In the minutes of the talks, the Chinese negotiators also pointed out that the Xinyi oilfield is located in a shallow sea area at a depth of less than 100 meters, and the recoverable rate is much higher than that of ordinary offshore oil extraction.

If such an important offshore oil field is given to Xiao Kangen Petroleum Company because of its lack of development funds (the initial development funds are also very limited), and when China's dependence on overseas crude oil imports exceeds 60 percent and the annual import of crude oil exceeds one billion barrels, I am afraid that the central leadership will even have the heart to cry, and the geological exploration of this sea area is mainly completed by the Chinese side in the early stage -- no wonder Xiao Kangen Petroleum Company will be so enthusiastic to prevent CNOOC's overseas listed companies from being behind the scenes.

With more than 7 billion barrels of oil reserves, the potential total value of the 60 percent recovery rate mentioned in the minutes of the talks is also $90 billion, and the Shaw Conn Oil Company wants to swallow nearly half of its interests in one bite.

Zhang Ke really had nothing to say about Xiao Kangen's greed for eating people and not spitting out bones, he showed the minutes of the meeting to Ye Jianbin and Sun Shangyi, and after a while, he asked Liu Chengwei: "What do you think about this?" What is CNOOC's internal view on the prospective reserves of the Xinyi Oilfield? ”

"In the early days of the exploration of the Xinyi Oilfield, CNOOC's offshore exploration company carried out the oil reserves, and the oil reserves of the Xinyi Oilfield were estimated to be relatively optimistic, with a maximum estimate of 300 million tons and 2.2 billion barrels. At that time, CNOOC lacked the technical means to further explore, and in 94 years it cooperated with the Xiao Kangen Petroleum Company to carry out further exploration work in this sea area, and the exploration report given by the Xiao Kangen Petroleum Company at the beginning of this year gave the preliminary conclusion that there were 500 million barrels of proven reserves and 1.5 billion barrels of prospective reserves, and the energy department of the Planning and Development Commission proposed that China and the United States should not place too high expectations on a single oil field and that China and the United States should carry out more extensive cooperation in the field of exploration and exploitation -- this plan put forward by the Xiao Kangen Petroleum Company was also a plan that the head office was inclined to accept. What is being discussed is the condition of tax incentives. Liu Chengwei said.

Zhang Ke pursed his lips slightly and asked again; "And now?"

"Shaw Conn may have falsified the exploration data." Liu Chengwei hesitated for a moment, but still said this terrible guess.
