Chapter 259: Irku Oilfield

Shapur was well aware of the problems and risks brought by such a plan to Li Lu, and after receiving domestic authorization, he nodded slowly and said, "There is no problem, the FOB price is fifteen dollars per barrel." But, Mr. Lee, you know we're at war, and the production of many oil fields has been affected. ”

"Well, fifteen dollars a barrel such an FOB price I accept. Fifty years of exploitation rights, which oil field did you take out? Li Lu asked.

Shapur said, "Irku oil field. ”

Before Li Lu could speak, Niu Jun subconsciously said in surprise, "Mr. Shapur, as far as I know, it is an old oil field that has basically been exhausted, and the annual output is only seven or eight hundred thousand barrels. At $15 a barrel, you'll need to repay about 34 million barrels of crude oil. It will take more than forty years to complete the repayment! ”

After Niu Jun finished speaking, he looked at Li Lu, and the meaning expressed in his eyes was very clear - absolutely unacceptable.

It is very, very unreliable to use oil to pay it back, little by little, for forty years. Niu Jun has been making up classes for the past few days, studying the situation of the international oil industry and the situation in oil-producing areas. Even a beginner like her understands that if she can't recover all the crude oil within five years at most, Li Lu will be dragged to death by this long repayment period.

The biggest problem is that the production of the Irku field is decreasing every year, and as the oldest oil field in Iran, the oil there has been almost exhausted. In other words, even if Li Lu has the ability to invest in new technology and more equipment to speed up mining, the effect will not be obvious.

Shapur was a little difficult to face, and of course he knew that it would be tricky to do so, but this was a domestic instruction that he could only follow. He even knew that Niu Jun had miscalculated, because according to the exemplary contract, after Li Lu obtained the right to exploit the Irk oil field, he would give 70 US dollars and 50 US dollars to the Iranian government for every fifteen US dollars of oil extracted from the Irku oil field. That is to say, according to such a plan, theoretically speaking, it will take 80 years for Li Lu to recover the remaining seventy percent of the purchase price of the package purchase contract......

This is outrageous!

Li Lu slowly closed the notebook and screwed the cap of the pen on. Such an action has a rich meaning in Shapur's eyes, and the most explicit is even obvious - I will not agree with such a plan, and even refuse all purchases.

Even if it is a simple 50-year development contract, Li Lu has to consider it carefully, after all, it is the oldest oil field in Iran. What's more, this will cost 500 million US dollars in arms, and Li Lu's brain will only agree if his brain is caught by the door.

Niu Jun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she could see that Li Lu would never agree.

Shapur gritted his teeth and said, "The 99-year exploration and exploitation rights of the Irku massif and the 99-year exploitation contract of the Irku oil field will be reduced to 30 percent. We will mobilize the crude oil used for repayment, which will be repaid within five years. Mr. Li, this is the best we can give. ”

Niu Jun sneered and said, "Mr. Shapur, the repayment of oil is one thing, and the development of the Irku oil field is another. Exploration of the Irku massif, completed 20 years ago, and there is simply no possibility of any other economically efficient wells other than the Irku field. In other words, your plan is only an extension of the term of the mining rights compared to the previous plan. For an oil field that does not experience explosive production growth, there is no essential difference between fifty years and ninety-nine years. And we need to invest a lot of additional technology and capital, which will drive the technological development of oil exploration and exploitation in your country......"

Li Lu secretly gave Niu Jun a thumbs up, it was obvious that Niu Jun had done a lot of homework and carefully studied the situation of Iran's oil fields, so he had a clear idea of this speech.

At this time, what Li Lu felt was that in these three negotiations, there was a fundamental change. At first, Li Lu asked Shapur to provide the right to exploit the oil field as a guarantee, so that he could accept the plan of exchanging oil for weapons. But now something has changed, and what Shapur means - you agree to the oil-for-weapons program, and we will give you the right to extract oil from an oil field.

Unconsciously, Li Lu suddenly realized that he was almost caught up in Shapur's back-and-forth plan changes. What was originally a simple guarantee for oil field exploitation rights and an oil-for-weapons program has become an oil field exploitation share contract that Shapur now demands.

Having the opportunity to obtain an oil field in Iran, even if it is an old oil field, is a great achievement, how could Li Lu refuse.

But!

The reality is bloody!

Once such a sharing contract is signed, Li Lu will have to invest a lot of money in exploration and exploitation on the Iranian side, and no matter what you do, after the construction period of two or three years has passed, they will have to take the money, whether you produce oil or not, they will definitely ask for a fixed minimum share every year!

Not to mention that Li Lu doesn't even have an oil extractor now, and even if he does, he doesn't have such a huge amount of money to do this - people don't charge Huaxia coins!

As a result, the contract will not be fulfilled, and the Iranians will take back the oil fields and will be punished, most likely by withholding the repaid oil. In the end, it was an ending of losing his wife and losing his soldiers.

Don't forget, the Irku oil field is a declining old oil field, with an annual output of about 800,000 barrels, what kind of concept is this, that is, according to the current oil price, the annual output value is only more than 2 million US dollars, what kind of big oil field is this! Not even comparable to the output of those abandoned wells in the Shengli Oilfield!

Thinking of this, Li Lu shook his head.

Shapur lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and then said slowly in a dull atmosphere, "Mr. Li, we are willing to increase the amount of crude oil to 40 million barrels, the exploration rights of the Irku plot and the exploitation rights of the Irku oil field for 99 years, and our side will share 30 percent, and add another one, give you a five-year construction period, and after five years, we will divide according to the oil production." ”

"However, you have to promise in the contract that after five years the Irku field will produce one million tons per year." ”

Compared with the current situation, the annual production of 800,000 barrels will be increased to 7 million barrels in five years, an increase of nearly 10 times. In other words, if a new high-yield oil well cannot be found in the Irku plot, Li Lu's deal will be smashed.

Niu Jun was about to speak, but Li Lu nodded very decisively, and said neatly, "No problem, then it's decided!" ”

Niu Jun looked at Li Lu in astonishment.

Li Lu was overjoyed in his heart - acting is a tiring thing.

The decades-old Irku oil field is seen by others as a depleted oil field that is about to be abandoned, but in the eyes of Li Lu, it is a super oil field with reserves of more than 3 billion barrels or more. It's just that in another time and space, that's the 21st century.

The Irku oil field is definitely not a nearly exhausted oil field, although the oil field is old, but the reserves are amazing! After secondary exploration and development, with the oil recovery technology in the 80s, the annual output of the Irku oilfield can easily soar to 20 million tons!

A million tons is a fart!

In the present day of 1981, there is no one who has an unpredictable prophet, except for Li Lu.

Li Lu decided to gamble everything and take down the Irku oil field, which is only fifty kilometers from the shore of the Persian Gulf!
