Chapter 227: Kazakhstan

(Thank you for chasing good books, I haven't found it yet, jerking off all over the world, be careful of the wolf kissing the four brothers, thank you for your support.) )

Chen Mo, who had changed his mind, didn't notice that when he was about to go out, there was a meaningful look between Abu and Yabinlovsky, and he began to have a headache about the challenges he would face tomorrow.

Returning to Berezovsky's house, Chen Mo toured the room. This hundred-and-fifty-year-old house is full of history, with paintings of Kolchak on the walls.

Although he knew that more than a hundred soldiers had died in the offensive and defensive battles in this house, Chen Mo didn't care about them. No amount of dead people is too much for him to deal with. Since he dared to sleep in front of Roujia's grave on a summer night, the hundreds of graves around him would not make him afraid, and naturally he would not care about the fact that so many people had died here, but because of these, his desire to explore this house was even stronger.

After visiting the house, Chen Mo came to the east room on the second floor where he lived. It has been renovated by Berezovsky and is full of luxury. The length and width of the large bed inside are more than two meters five, not to mention sleeping three people, even a few more people, you can easily sleep.

Having sent the two girls to wash up, he beckoned Jabinlovsky to sit down in the drawing-room. In Omsk in June, the temperature is around 20 degrees Celsius during the day and above 10 degrees Celsius at night, making it the most beautiful season here.

Yabinlovsky's mood is like the weather here, which couldn't be better. In just half a year, he has gone from being a fringe figure to the person in charge of the more than a million tons of crude oil trade between China and Russia, and more importantly, his current importance in the hearts of Berezovsky and Abu has risen rapidly. Even if trade between China and Russia is in vain now, he will be able to get a good position based on the impression he has left on them.

And all this was brought by the young Chinese man in front of him.

“…… At present, all the transportation channels on the Russian side have been opened. Every day, more than two special trains leave for the Far East to meet the Chinese side in Skovorogino. Recently, Chinese explorers have been conducting field exploration with Yukos technicians on the construction of a pipeline through the Heilongjiang River. ”

"Yes." Chen Mo didn't hide it at all, anyway, these jobs can't be hidden from people with intentions. "The oil pipeline on the territory of Russia has not been determined in the selection of 80 cm and 110 cm diameter. Moreover, the difficulty of construction in Russia is much higher than ours, and in addition, our domestic railway transportation is also busier than that of Russia. So. Prioritizing the construction of pipelines within our borders can effectively alleviate the pressure caused by transportation. ”

"But aren't you afraid that the future pipeline docking will cause the volume to fail to meet the design requirements due to the inconsistency of pipe diameters?"

Chen Mo laughed and said, "Mr. Yabinrowski, you have also been in China for so long, when have you ever seen that our designs are wasted?" For us, there will always be a situation where the design capabilities are not advanced enough. As a result, there will be constraints later, and there will be no waste. ”

"Then do you think the current 80 cm pipe diameter in China is enough for use?"

"An increase in pipe diameter not only means an increase in volume, but more importantly. The amount of investment will also rise dramatically. But we cannot ignore one issue, and that is the supply capacity of the Russian side. Whether it is the Tyumen oil field, or the Novosibirsk oil field, there is currently old equipment. The difficulty of oil recovery has increased, and the production has decreased. Although a number of small oil fields have been discovered in the northern tundra, at today's oil prices. The cost of oil production is higher than the export price, so the crude oil here is not available at the moment. ”

"We chose 80 cm pipe diameter, it seems that we ourselves limit the amount of transportation we can in the future, but it has been strictly evaluated by us. According to what I have learned in the past few days, in the area east of the Ural Mountains, if the major oil companies go all out to expand their oil production, their annual output can reach a maximum of about 200 million tons, but the consumption in Russia can reach nearly 100 million tons, and the crude oil that can be exported to foreign countries will not exceed 70 million tons at most. And we designed it in time according to the transportation volume of 80 million tons, and the Russian side actually could not meet our needs. ”

"But as you said, we're still discovering new oil fields."

Chen Mo asked rhetorically, "Then have you ever thought that we still need a neighbor?" Don't you need to think about their needs? ”

Jabinlovsky suddenly realized: "Indeed, I was negligent on this point. ”

Having said that, Chen Mo felt that he did it on purpose, he seemed to be testing something, but he didn't know it yet.

Yabinlovsky asked again: "But according to your Chinese forecast, China's crude oil imports will be as high as 200 million tons in the future, what a huge cake!" ”

Chen Mo smiled: "It is unrealistic for you to bind the sales to our family, or for us to limit the purchase to your side." There are too many countries in this world, and we also have to take care of relations with all oil-producing countries, don't we? ”

"So you are now actively negotiating with Kazakhstan about the construction of oil pipelines?"

Chen Mo paused for a moment and asked, "I'm sorry, I didn't understand what you meant." Although our cooperation with Kazakhstan was later than that of Russia, and in '97 we had the initial idea of building an oil pipeline, but the current progress is outpacing the progress with Russia. But as you know, the supply capacity of that pipeline is much smaller than the one we are planning now, and the impact on Russia is not great. ”

Yabinlovsky smiled: "You misunderstood what I meant, I don't mean to accuse anything, I'm just wondering, you actually didn't occupy any rights and interests in this cooperation, but why are you so enthusiastic." And if you focus on the advancement of the China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline, you can get more benefits there. ”

Chen Mo nodded and said: "This is mainly because of your Russia's strict control over foreign capital in the crude oil extraction industry, otherwise, I also want to invest in one or two oil fields in Russia, which will be my continuous money printing machine in the future." ”

Yabinlovsky asked: "Have you heard about the recent discovery of a world-class oil field in Kazakhstan?" ”

"Of course, this is the most sensational news in the industry recently, with reserves of up to 35 billion barrels, which can be ranked as one of the top ten oil fields in the world. Unfortunately, the equity relationship in this oil field is too complicated. The Caspian Shelf Company, Eni, British BG, BP, Statoil, Mobil, Shell and Total, as well as Russia's Lukoil and Kazakh National Oil Company, there are more than 10 major shareholders alone, and we don't have any opportunity to participate. ”

(I'm sorry, I got drunk again yesterday and didn't eat at noon, so I rushed out for a chapter first.) (To be continued.) )
