For Tang Feng's persuasion, Jose finally agreed after thinking about it for a while, which also gave Tang Feng a little sense of accomplishment.

Finding a job for Jose and his wife is not that Tang Feng is idle and has nothing to do, but that Tang Feng wants to send a very clear message to the other residents in this small fishing village through the fact of this family, that is, don't live in your old way of life, you can try another better way of life.

The tree dies, the man lives! This makes sense everywhere you go.

This small fishing village, with only a dozen or so households, usually relies on farming and fishing. Farming depends on God's face, and fishing itself is a high-risk industry, once the man in the family has an accident, then the family is finished.

Since this makes your life tight, why don't you live in a different way?

Look at the people Jose. Garcia has a family of two, the man went to the oil tanker as the first mate, and the income is more than 100,000 US dollars a year, and Mrs. Garcia, a housewife who could only take care of the children at home, can also earn 40,000 US dollars a year after entering the factory, which will definitely make the family completely change from then on. When Romero and Cristina grow up, because their families have money, then they have a good chance of getting a better education and a better life in the future.

It is said that the power of example is infinite, and Tang Feng has no doubt about this, so Tang Feng plans to set an example for other fishermen from this small fishing village, so that these simple fishermen can obtain better living conditions.

This land is destined to be unable for these fishermen to survive here, because in Tang's plan, the center of that super-giant oil and gas field is located in the Gulf of Anegada.

As a bay, there is not a single site in the 150-square-kilometre Gulf of Anegada that could be used as a port. Because of the backflow of the tide. The deepest part of the bay was no more than five meters, and most of the area was mudflats, and the harbor could not be built at all, and ships with a slightly larger displacement could not enter.

However, if the bay is used as an offshore oil and gas field, the conditions are undoubtedly quite good, because the overseas exit is blocked by two islands. Only the tide can come in, and the impact of high winds and waves on the bay is minimal. Crucially, the average depth of this bay is too shallow for direct access to a shallow water drilling rig.

Compared with the cost of offshore drilling platforms, which can easily cost hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars, the cost of this shallow water drilling platform is extremely low, and it also has the ability to self-propel, which can be used in swampy areas, so it is absolutely no problem to use it in such shallow waters. In this way, the extraction cost of this super-giant oil and gas field will undoubtedly be much lower.

The most critical thing is. According to Tang's understanding, ExxonMobil has this kind of shallow water drilling platform in many shallow water oil fields in the United States, and now many of those oil fields have been discontinued, so these work platforms are useless. As long as you pull it over here and renovate it a bit, you can continue to let these rigs continue to work.

Now that the international price of crude oil is so low, it is time to develop this super giant oil and gas field. Mining costs must be kept to a minimum. Perhaps the cost of extracting this oil and gas field is not as low as that of the Beaumont field, but Tang is confident that the cost of extracting this oil field will be even lower than those in the Middle East.

Once the field is in the development phase. All the inhabitants living near the Gulf of Anegarda will no longer be able to use the Gulf of Anegarda for fishing, and the small bay will be occupied by this huge oil and gas field.

Of course, once you have this super oil and gas field, you also need to find a suitable place to build an oil port nearby. One of the closest seaports to the Gulf of Anegarda. There are also more than a hundred kilometers, and neither the port of Blanca in the north nor the port of San Antonio West in the east can dock such giant tankers, and both ports are located in the bay, with the draft of those giant tankers. Even getting into those two bays is difficult.

Therefore, in order to transport crude oil and refined oil products here, a new oil port must be built.

However, compared with the regular port terminal, the cost of the oil port terminal is undoubtedly much lower, because this kind of terminal can use the floating embankment terminal as a docking terminal for large oil tankers, and only the oil pipeline needs to be extended to this embankment terminal at that time, and the loading operation can be carried out there.

This floating embankment wharf is a new type of wharf that has only emerged a few years ago, and it can be expanded or contracted at will depending on the size of the docked ships.

These piers are generally composed of several reinforced concrete pontoons with a length of 50 meters, two approach bridges, two sets of stabilization and buffer equipment, mooring devices, etc.

This new type of floating embankment terminal can now allow large ships of more than 100,000 tons to dock safely in extremely harsh sea conditions such as waves of 12 degrees, high tides of 6 meters, or hurricanes blowing 40 meters per second.

Moreover, the cost of this kind of pier is much lower than that of fixed docks, and the construction period is at least twice as long as that of fixed piers, because the most important components of this floating embankment pier, that is, those reinforced concrete pontoons, can be processed in batches in the factory. At that time, in the sea area where installation is required, only these components need to be assembled.

Now, the Russians have been very successful in using this floating embankment dock to safely dock giant ships, including aircraft carriers.

Using this technology, it is possible to build a large oil port terminal one or two kilometers or even more than one or two kilometers or more outside the Gulf of Anegada, and the water depth at this location is enough to dock those giant oil tankers that are often 100,000 tons.

Of course, this design will need to be verified by experts, after all, this location is located at about 40 degrees south latitude, which is the enveloping area of the southeast trade wind belt in the South Atlantic. However, although the winds in the southeast trade wind belt are a little stronger, they are very stable, and there are no such devastating hurricanes as often. In terms of the technology of this floating embankment wharf, it is believed that the application in this sea area is not a problem. (To be continued.) )
