Chapter 40: Kung Fu is Outside the Poem
(I was going to go to bed, but yesterday I overwrote 15,000 words in one day, and my head was dizzy.) But when I went to sleep, I found that my old friend and brother man had a 10,000 reward, and immediately stopped sleeping, and temporarily coded a chapter, thanking the man brother. And I haven't found my brother yet, you keep tipping every day, which makes me a little embarrassed. Thank you! This chapter is a plus, and there will be two more chapters today, and it will be done. )
The Acatel oil field is a very strange existence, and there will not be only one oil field in each geological zone, because the appearance of oil must also conform to the local geological environment.
The oil belt of the Acatel oilfield is not deep, the only oil is between 2,000 meters and 2,100 meters underground, and the oil quality is low-sulfur light crude oil. To put it mildly, the crude oil here is pumped from the ground and can be added to the tank.
It is said that such an oil field will never be formed in isolation, but countless oil companies have spent tens of millions of dollars here, and they have only found this small oil field by chance.
No one conceded defeat, because such a crude oil formation environment produces such high-quality crude oil, and it is absolutely impossible to have only this small piece.
However, after Siberian Oil acquired the rights and interests in this area, the current investment has made Berezovsky and his wife a little overwhelmed.
Chen Mo's purchase of the Acatel oil field is not just this oil field, with only a 3 million ton oil well, the actual crude oil that can be recovered will not exceed 80%, and the further you go, the higher the development cost.
Therefore, such an oilfield, which is only in the trial production period, has an actual investment of less than millions of dollars in equipment, and it has to be sold to Chen Mo, including the exploration rights in this area and the subsequent oil recovery rights.
At this point, Kazakhstan is still more humane, because there are many countries where exploration rights and oil production rights are still separated. Even if you discover oil fields. You don't have the right to exploit it, and the country where the resource is located will sell it again.
This would increase the benefits of the country where the resource is located, as it would compete and sell for it in the future. However, the disadvantage is that it is often caught in a conflict of interests, and many oil fields are simply not developed because the equity relationship is too complex and the benefits are unevenly distributed.
In fact, the benefits brought by the secondary auction did not bring much more, but complicated the reality, so later. Many resource countries simply sell exploration and oil production rights at once, and then calculate the tax separately. That is to say, if you discover an oil field, whether you develop it yourself or sell it, I will collect a tax first, and then I will collect the tax again in the later stage. In this way, many unnecessary conflicts of interest are reduced.
However, this method will not become popular until the new century, and most countries are still using the first method. It is precisely because Kazakhstan adopts the second way that Zhou You is so interested in this asset.
Maybe everyone is like Chen Mo. In the beginning, I think that my luck is the best.
Chen Mo and the others came here at once, of course they couldn't live in the village. So, after negotiating the terms with the people in the village. After the staff who participated in the follow-up negotiations, only two local officials and a few policemen were left to serve Chen Mo and them.
That night, all the rest drove across the border. Stayed overnight in Orsk, Russia, and returned to Kazakhstan early the next morning. There is no way, this small city forty kilometers from Acatel is already the nearest city.
The next day. The staff was also evaluating the power generation equipment and drilling equipment at the site, while Chen Mo and Berezovsky got on a rented helicopter and were accompanied by local officials to inspect the exploration area that is now part of the Siberian Oil Company.
This area is actually very easy to identify, the east and north are the border with Russia, and the west is the national highway to Russia built along the mountain, and they mainly want to confirm the southern range.
This triangular area is about 20 kilometers from north to south and nearly 20 kilometers from east to west, but because it is triangular, the total area is less than 250 kilometers. In such a large area, there is only one village, Acat, which shows the desolation here.
After inspecting this area and getting off the bumpy helicopter, Chen Mo's heart relaxed. Sitting in the comfortable bus, Chen Mo asked straight to the point: "Sir, I hope you can tell me directly how much money you have spent here, and what is the lowest offer you gave me." I don't want to be like a scheming peddler who bargains with you for a little profit. ”
"Evan, this doesn't look like a businessman."
Chen Mo subtly flattered him. "In front of you, I just want to be a friend, not a businessman."
He laughed happily and said, "If this company is mine alone, I can give you this oil field, but for the benefit of all shareholders, I can only give you a price." ”
After a slight pause, he looked up and said, "In this land, our company has spent more than 30 million US dollars just on exploration and drilling wells. Thankfully, the discovery of the Acatel oil field prevented us from losing all our money. Now, we've invested millions of dollars in cementing the oil here, and the upfront costs are less than $40 million, but it's not much. As you can see, the current situation of the Acatel oilfield is not a self-blowing well, but the extraction cost is also quite low, so I think the price of 80 million should be a reasonable price. ”
Chen Mo laughed and said, "I thought you would offer $100 million." ”
He had a very good grasp of Chen Mo's mentality, and he knew that he had moved him. "We're friends, aren't we? I should also say that you want to find a base for development in the oil circle. ”
Chen Mo nodded and said, "Can all of your previous exploration records be transferred to me?" ”
"Of course, as long as you need!"
Chen Mo stretched out his hand and said, "Then I wish us a happy cooperation again!" ”
The price of 80 million is already a very low price compared to the evaluations of all parties. What's more, Chen Mo knows that the price of crude oil will rise in the future, and his interests are still worth looking forward to.
With Shandun and Xu Yunteng, Chen Mo doesn't need to pay attention to those details at all, he only needs to grasp the direction of the company's development. Otherwise, he spent a lot of money to invite Shandun and Xu Yunteng to do something!
Although the technicians did not have a thorough understanding of the situation of the oil well, Chen Mo felt that those were no longer the most important things. The key issue now is to complete all aspects of the procedures as soon as possible, get this oil field in hand as soon as possible, and let your people take action.
Of course, the main thing is to carry out secondary exploration on the basis of their previous exploration, hoping to gain something.
If this is a low-quality oil field, it may be isolated, but with such good oil quality, how can it only be this small piece? Siberian Oil Company is afraid of losing money and does not dare to continue investing. But Chen Mo originally wanted to train soldiers, as long as he could train his team, it was acceptable to lose some money, not to mention that oil prices would rise in the future, and it was impossible to lose money.
