At the entrance of the Hohwa Municipal Government, the security is tight, and all kinds of official cars are parked in a row.

In the conference hall of the municipal government, a huge banner of "Tarim Oilfield Bidding Meeting" was hung.

Leaders of various oilfield exploration bureaus, as well as representatives of PetroChina and international oil giants, sat down one after another.

After his welcome speech, the moderator continued:

"Next, I would like to invite Comrade Wu Xinliang, chairman of the board of directors and secretary of the party group of China National Petroleum Corporation, to speak."

Wu Xinliang?

Zhao Yuemin heard a familiar name, isn't it the former vice minister of petroleum. He used to be Vice Minister Wu all the time, and Vice Minister Wu's shouting didn't have any special feelings.

Wu Xinliang picked up the microphone and said with a blazing gaze: "On behalf of the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy, I welcome comrades from all oil fields to participate in the bidding, as well as friends from international oil companies. This expedition to the western Xinjiang lasted 15 days. On the way here, I kept exchanging views with the comrades of the Western Xinjiang Administration. Jointly determine the general policy of the petroleum industry in western Xinjiang during the "Seventh Five-Year Plan" period. ”

"At present, according to our data, the oil production forecast of the Tarim oilfield is very optimistic. Its annual oil production will not be lost to the Sichuan Oilfield and the Liaohe Oilfield. Moreover, this is the first time that we have officially cooperated with foreign countries. ”

After Wu Xinliang finished speaking, the eyes of all the representatives of the international oil company giants flashed with green light.

"This is the first attempt by the Ministry of Energy and PetroChina to bid for external bidding. Why? I communicated with Secretary Song of the Western Xinjiang Autonomous Region. We unanimously believe that the battle model under the planned economy can no longer be adapted to the exploration and development of oil and gas in Tarim. We have decided to set up a new system on a pilot basis. In terms of production management, the contract system of Party A and Party B is implemented. Based on domestic and foreign bidding. Both international oil companies and domestic oil fields can come to bid. ”

After saying this, the commotion continued to begin in the venue. Interestingly, however, the international oil giants are gearing up. However, the expressions of the leaders of the large domestic oil fields are a little complicated.

Wu Xinliang went on to introduce that the final winner of the bid will cooperate with PetroChina to establish a Northwest Exploration Company. The Northwest Exploration Company will fully undertake the exploration work in the hinterland and marginal areas of the Tarim Desert.

Not only that, life service projects such as exploration, drilling, logging and even other material transportation are all managed by the Northwest Exploration Company.

In other words, whoever can win the bid will be able to grasp the package of projects in the Tarim Oilfield and get this huge order.

When Zhao Yuemin heard this, he couldn't help but be excited. Although it is said that the return on the income of oil and gas resources, PetroChina is not willing to share it with partners at present. However, just by mastering so many aspects of bidding, a lot of benefits can be derived.

What's more, if we can take root in Tarim, it is not impossible to contract several low-yield oil fields or waste oil fields in the future.

Su Guoliang said in a low voice beside him: "Yuemin, although this time it is a bid for Jiangbei Oilfield, it is actually a bid for your Red Star Industry. I hope you will seize the opportunity......"

Zhao Yuemin nodded, he was a little excited in his heart, he could jointly develop the Tarim Oilfield with PetroChina, which he had never imagined before.

He asked with some weakness: "Our strength is still a lot worse than Daqing and Shengli. If they bid a very low price, we don't think they can match it.

Su Guoliang Laocheng said with a smile: "I see, this time the bidding, we and a few foreigners are a little positive, and several other oilfield-related units may not be on the list." ”

"Why?"

"The topography of the Tarim Basin is still very complex. The basin is full of deserts, Gobi and high mountains. Sparsely populated, some of the eastern oil fields are reluctant to come. I'm afraid to stay here. Su Guoliang stroked his chin and said, "Our domestic oilfield leaders are still thinking of a planned economy. The money earned is also public, unlike those foreign oil giants, if that project, those representatives, they will immediately get rich overnight. Everyone's motivation is different. ”

In the afternoon, the initial round of bidding prices was announced.

"Exxon, USA, $26 million."

"French Energy, $27 million."

"Royal Dutch Shell, $28 million."

Several foreign bidding companies, the price is very tight.

The price of domestic oil fields is a big surprise.

"Daqing Oilfield, $68 million."

"Changqing Oilfield, $52 million."

"Jiangbei Oilfield, $30 million."

……

In addition to the Jiangbei Oilfield, the price of other domestic oilfields is twice or even three times that of foreign oilfields.

Su Guoliang's judgment was quickly corrected.

Among the bidding prices of a package of projects including drilling engineering, logging and exploration, the prices of several foreign oil giants are very close, and even the quotations are generally 10% lower than the international practice, which shows their sincerity.

However, on the contrary, the development price of domestic oil fields is ridiculously high.

In the dining room at noon, Zhao Yuemin met Fang Qing and Lin Feng.

"Director Fang, Director Lin." Looking at the two persons in charge of the oil field, Zhao Yuemin said hello.

"Xiao Zhao, let's eat together."

Zhao Yuemin picked the large plate of chicken in the bowl with chopsticks, and finally couldn't help it, and asked, "Fang Ju, we are competitors." However, I still want to ask, the price you marked is really ......."

"It's too high, isn't it?" Lin Feng looked at Fang Qing, and the two of them laughed at the same time.

"Yes......" Zhao Yuemin scratched his head.

"Yuemin, I'll tell you the truth." Lin Feng put down the chopsticks in his hand, "We came to bid this time, that is, to support the scene." Why? Because of their respective oil fields, they are currently busy. It's not easy to put together a team. The second point is that Party A and Party B have a contract system, and we really haven't figured out the policy guidelines, which is also a new thing for us, and there are certain risks. ”

Fang Qing also answered: "Yes, due to the contract of Party A and Party B, in many cases, it is fixed according to the contract, and there is a risk. We've never done that before. For example, this drilling daily fee standard is set in the contract. After analyzing it in our bureau, I feel that it is very difficult. We may not be able to do it. ”

Zhao Yuemin listened to these explanations and said with a dumb smile: "In that case, Fang Bureau, Forest Bureau, why did you come to bid in the first place?" ”

"Look at what you're talking ......about," Fang Qing said, frowning, "Last year, the Drilling Department of the Ministry of Petroleum issued a tender notice to our Shengli Oilfield—asking us to come to bid. Can we not listen to the words of the leader? However, we also have our own difficulties. Anyway, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom, and our policy is to actively bid and strive for failure. ”

Actively bid and strive to fail?

Zhao Yuemin heard this slightly joking explanation, and his brows tightened......
