Section 48 Oils

When you come to the Fraser Basin, it's already very lively. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

More than 100 people gathered around the oil field where the oil was discovered, and the cowboys of the ranch were watching the excitement, and talking about the three lucky cowboys, because they found oil here, and when the big boss was still in the United States, he personally instructed that each person would be rewarded with 200,000 Australian dollars, and 200,000 Australian dollars would be converted into 1 million yuan, which was a huge prize,......。

Hired geologists and their assistants are busy using various instruments to explore the underground oil reserves and test the quality of the oil.

Lake Prammuth Ranch, more than 70,000 square kilometres, straddles the Northern Territory and Queensland, with the Fraser Basin located within Queensland.

Oil has been discovered in the Fraser Basin, and the oil reserves are not small, and the Queensland government can sit still, and the Department of Environment and Resource Management has come to see an assistant to the parliamentary secretary, as well as several government staff.

Assistant to the Secretary of the Parliament, this official is not small, the executive body of the Queensland Government, the State Governor, appointed directly by the Queen of England, the Cabinet of the State Government, 18 ministers, of which 9 ministers have assistants to the Secretary of the Parliament, and the position is equivalent to the Deputy Minister.

Meet Chen Yan and Als. Turn's came on horseback.

A middle-aged man wearing a suit and leather shoes, a blue tie, and a very neat and neat person, and an old man dressed as a cowboy, riding boots, cowboy hat, brown shirt, gray hair, and a white beard, walked over to Chen Yan's side.

"Hello, Mr. Turn." The middle-aged man stretched out his hand and smiled at Als. Turnn greeted.

"Hello, Mr. Keynes." Als. Turn's hand reached out and spoke to Keynes. Pierce shook his hand, and then, greeting the cowboy-clad senior, "Hello, Mr. Burke." ”

"Hello, Mr. Turn."

Als. After Tern was noisy for a while, he introduced Chen Yan to the two, "Mr. Chen, my boss, the owner of this ranch land. ”

Then, they introduced the two to Chen Yan.

The middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes and a blue tie is called Cairns. Pierce, Assistant to the Parliamentary Secretary to the Department of Environment and Resource Management in the Queensland Government, is also the equivalent of a Deputy Minister.

Cowboy dressed up for an elderly man named Carllin. Burke, a world-renowned geologist and oil prospecting expert, and his oil prospecting team have been hired by Chen Yan to investigate the oil in the Fraser Basin and surrounding areas, to discover the oil reserves, and to test the quality of the oil, and he and his team have been engaged in this work for three days.

Chen Yan greeted the two with a smile.

Als. Tern gave Chen Yan a hard hat, and Chen Yan put on the hard hat.

The four of them talked as they came to the oil field.

The area of oil oozing from the ground is about half an acre, just like a black swamp, there is no grass around, oil is poisonous, when Chen Yan was a soldier, he had a very good comrade-in-arms, from Dongying, the oil city, his grandfather and father are all oilfield workers, and he often talks to Chen Yan about oil, and there is a kind of pride in his tone.

Therefore, Chen Yan has some understanding of oil, Chen Yan squatted down and scooped up a handful of oil with his hands, the color is yellow, just like soy sauce, the hands are oily, thick, there is a mellow, aromatic smell in the nose, Chen Yan licked it with his tongue, sweet.

Chen Yan was a little excited.

"The quality of the oil is very good."

The whole world is producing oil, the Middle East, South America, China, the United States, Central Asia, Southeast Asia,......, so what kind of oil is good? Saudi Arabia, Iran, Russia, and the United States are competing for the market so fiercely, so who produces the best oil? In fact, the two most important measures of whether oil is good or not are color and taste.

First of all, it must be understood that the main use of petroleum is still used to refine transportation fuel,--- gasoline, diesel, for example, in the United States, 50% of oil is used to refine gasoline, so the easier it is to be refined into gasoline, the better.

Chen Yan just picked up a handful of oil, and the two important indicators of oil quality were clear at a glance.

Chen Yan licked it with his tongue, sweet, the sweetness and sourness of petroleum is the most important indicator of oil, the taste of bad quality oil is sour, the more acidic, the higher the sulfur content, because sulfur is corrosive, and acid oil often has a higher carbon dioxide content, so the more complex the refining process, the more unsafe and environmentally friendly it is to use. On the contrary, oil has a sweet taste and low sulfur content.

The price of sweet oil used to be $15 a barrel higher than that of sour oil.

OPEC has always been famous for its large oil production, large reserves and low cost, but the quality of crude oil produced by OPEC countries is not the best in the world. The average sulfur content of oil produced by OPEC countries is about 1.77%, which is sour oil.

And then the color of the oil, the yellow, the oil is black and gold? All said and done, but I'm sorry that black oil is the least valuable type in the oil world, and the darker the cheaper, the lighter the color of the oil, the better, and the best oil is colorless and transparent.

Because the color of oil is related to the number of carbon atoms in the oil molecule, the carbon atom content of natural gas molecule is not more than 4, and the carbon atom content of petroleum is more than 4. The higher the number of carbon atoms, the darker and denser the oil, and the less likely it is to be refined into gasoline, so the worse the oil is.

Of course, this is a very simple way to evaluate the quality of oil, Chen Yan wants to know, API, sulfur content, which needs to ask the professional, Chen Yan turned his head to Carllin. Burke asked, "How much API does oil have, how much sulfur does it contain?" ”

These two data have long been recorded in Carllin. Burke's mind, Carllin. Burke blurted out, "The API has a specific gravity of 38.17% and a sulfur content of 0.36%. ”

API specific gravity greater than 31.1 is considered light oil, sulfur content is less than 0.5%, is considered sweet oil, the oil produced here is a very good quality light sweet oil, the oil is comparable to the oil produced in the European North Sea, the price can refer to the price of Brent crude oil.

Overall, the oil produced here is one of the best in the world.

Chen Yan again against Carllin. Burke asked, "What are the reserves of oil?" ”

Carllin. Burke replied, "I'm sorry, but we're doing this work to uncover the oil reservoirs in and around the Fraser Basin and the surrounding area, and to find out the size of the oil reserves, both of which are expected to take two months to complete." ”
