Section 448 The third largest oil field in the world

And as the biggest contributor.

Haliburton certainly won't skimp.

He and his exploration team will receive a very large bonus.

He could get at least a million dollars in prize money and even some Halliburton stock.

Bill. Bob and Chen Rui stood on the string of the boat, and the two of them held a glass of red wine in their hands.

The two talked.

Bill. Bob continued to lead the topic to Halliburton Oil Service with purpose, saying that Halliburton Oil Service has achieved remarkable results, and has successfully built many oil service engineering projects in the Middle East, Norway, Canada, the United States, and South America!! With the world's most advanced oil service technology, with a group of excellent ability of oil workers!!

In 14 years, Halliburton used $34.6 billion in new shares and cash to take over Baker Hughes, the third-largest oil service company, and became a new Halliburton with a market value of $70 billion.

In order to increase Chen Rui's image of Halliburton's oil suit, he is also trying to persuade Chen Rui to create conditions for Halliburton to win this world-class oil field.

Chen Rui held the wine glass, nodded, smiled, and did not make any clear reply.

"Mr. Chen, do you need to take a look at Platform 2 in person?" Bill. Bob said to Chen Rui.

"Okay." Chen Rui nodded.

The two of them finished their glasses and placed the empty glasses on the table next to them.

Then, turn away from the deck of the ship's strings.

The two of them arrived at Platform 2 in a dinghy.

On the surface of the sea, it is covered with a layer of oil, black, like ink, very thick, and the oil layer is drifting and spreading with the current.

On top of the oil layer, Chen Rui also saw some dead fish and dead seabirds floating.

See these, Bill. Bob's face was a little ugly. Disgusting like swallowing a fly, this will greatly reduce Chen Rui's image of Haliburton, and raise a trace of doubt about Haliburton's advanced oil production technology.

You know, oil polluting the oceans is something that no oil country wants to see, in particular. Tortuga is a predominantly tourist-oriented country.

In order to protect the marine environment, many oil countries have signed oil production service contracts with oil service companies, which is one of the most basic principles of marine oil production, which is not a drop of oil into the sea.

Now it's good, it's polluted in a big area.

Fortunately, jing and spray were controlled in time.

The scope of sea surface pollution is not large, and it is within the control range.

Oil workers are removing the oil and trying to eliminate the pollution of the sea.

Chen Rui and Bill. Bob ascends to the platform.

It's an easy platform.

When the time of official oil production. The kind of platform can be more than 500 meters high, with a dry weight of more than 600,000 tons, and it takes 10 minutes to take the elevator from the bottom of the platform to the platform deck.

Moreover, not a platform, but a bunch of platforms spread across this sea.

Extracting oil is very expensive.

Of course, the more money you burn, the more oil service companies can make a lot of money.

Chen Rui took a brief look at the platform. The platform is very clean and maintained, then. In the somewhat simple bedroom on the platform, the area of the bedroom is very small and cramped, and only one bed can be placed, and several people sleep in one room.

After a visit, Chen Rui asked Bill. Bob asked. "Can you find out the reserves of this oil field?"

"Yes, we need some time." Bill. Bob said.

Chen Rui nodded and looked at Bill. "Give me a report on the reserves as soon as possible," Bob said. ”

Bill. Bob nodded.

After an hour on Platform Two.

Then, Chen Rui left the platform. Return to the yacht 'Sea Star' and take the yacht back to Tortuga.

The next day.

Chen Rui secretly summoned the elite personnel of the Treasury Department of the Royal Asset Management Commission and the Government Finance Department, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, and the Central Bank.

Prepare to short oil.

Although, Chen Rui doesn't understand stocks, oil futures, buying short, buying up or something.

But, he knows two things.

First, the elite of the Treasury Department of the Crown Asset Management Commission and the Government Finance Department, the HKMA, and the Central Bank will give him appropriate advice when it comes to shorting oil.

Second, when the news of the exploration of a world-class large oil field spreads to the world and is confirmed, the international oil price will definitely fall, at least in a short period of time.

Chen Rui used these two points to make a profit.

The Crown Asset Management Committee has come up with $6.4 billion, and the government, the government, and the central bank have taken out all $2.7 billion in foreign exchange reserves, ready to make a lump sum.

Although it is irrational to say that the monetary authority and the central bank will take out all the country's foreign exchange reserves and put them into the international trading market to short.

But, why not do it if you don't lose money.

$2.7 billion, as long as 50% is earned, a resort and a five-star resort hotel have the money.

The elite personnel of the Financial Department of the Royal Asset Management Committee and the Government Finance Department, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, and the Central Bank are secretly making preparations, preparing funds, making various contingency plans, opening various secret trading accounts, and so on.

A week later.

Chen Rui got the reserve report of the oil field.

The name of the oil field, Bolis Oil Field.

In the transliteration of the Indian language, the sea north of Hispaniola is called Bolis.

Bolis, in the language of the Indians, means mystical, meaning mystical sea.

Chen Rui turned the first page and went directly to the second page.

The lower rows on the second page show the reserves figures for the Bolis field.

reserves, 7.34 billion tons.

Rao is Chen Rui has long known that this is a super giant oil field.

However, seeing the number of 7.34 billion tons of reserves, my heart beat rapidly.

Chen Rui had checked some information about the world's oil reserves before, and he was very clear about the weight of this figure.

A total of 41,000 oil fields have been discovered and developed in the world.

Generally speaking, an oil field with proven reserves of more than 685 million tons is a super giant oil field, and an oil field with proven reserves of more than 68.5 million tons is a giant oil field.

There are 42 super-giant oil fields and 328 giant oil fields.

The world's largest oil field is in Saudi Arabia, located in the east of Saudi Arabia, 500 kilometers east of the capital Riyadh Ghawar oil field, with proven reserves of 10.74 billion tons.

The world's second largest oil field is in Kuwait, located in the southeast of Kuwait in the Great Burgan oil field, with proven reserves of 9.91 billion tons.

The world's third largest oil field is in Venezuela, located in the eastern part of Venezuela, the Bolivar oil field on the Orinoco plain, with proven reserves of 5.2 billion tons.

The discovery of the Boliss oil field replaced the Bolivar oil field with 7.34 billion tons of reserves, and won the bronze crown of the world's third largest oil field.

'Barrel' is the usual method of measuring oil in the West.

1 ton is equal to about 7.33 barrels. (To be continued......)
