Chapter Seventy-Nine: Drilling Oil Wells with Science and Technology

Today is the sixteenth day after the end of the war, and it was originally yesterday, the date on which Li Lan and Farah agreed to meet. However, due to Li Lan's demand for steel and cement, and Farah has been busy with it, the two did not meet as scheduled. The date of the official meeting has also been postponed to the day after tomorrow.

The construction of the fence has been going on these days, but it needs to be slowed down in the past two days, because of the lack of large-scale construction equipment, the engineers have not been able to keep up with the speed of the fence construction.

In recent days, the base has begun to have a surplus, especially yesterday, after the construction of a mining vehicle in Zuihou, until now, there are nearly 300,000 remaining funds in the base. This used to take ten days to accumulate, but now it doesn't take two days to obtain.

Next, Li Lan will begin to prepare for the construction of oil wells and armed strength.

Construction units, barracks and battlefield factories, and magnetic reactors, all three of which cannot be broken. According to Li Lan's demand for electricity in the territory, the load of electricity must not exceed half of the power generation, so that each building unit must prepare at least one magnetic energy reactor.

Therefore, for every barracks and battlefield factories produced, two magnetic reactors must be produced. Fortunately, the construction price of the original unit of Red Alert is super cheap.

However, the units in the other unit pages have become very expensive, whether it is the price of 50,000 yuan for the ore extraction well or the price of 100,000 yuan for the field hospital, it is enough to show this.

Next, the oil wells and refineries that Li Lan wants to build, including steel mills and other units, will not be cheap at all. Otherwise, there is no need to wait until the income of the base funds reaches the maximum.

Technology Drilling Wells:

Energy extraction unit, construction price 120,000 base funds, covers an area of 100 square meters, construction time required 72 hours.

Description: According to the reserves and depth of the oilfield, each high-tech drilling well can produce a maximum of 200 tons of crude oil per day, and a minimum of 100 tons of crude oil per day. If the crude oil is directly recycled into base funds, you can get 4000-8000 base capital income per day.

Note: Science and technology drilling wells, does not have the capacity of oil storage, but comes with an underground oil pipeline, when building, please plan the route of the oil pipeline, the longest oil pipeline is 10 kilometers, the deepest 10 meters, you can freely choose the length and depth.

Special note: The technical drilling well must accompany the refinery construction.

Suggestion: Please do not build high-tech oil wells in high-risk areas to avoid being occupied by the enemy. If you are in danger of being occupied by the enemy, recycle it immediately and you will receive one-fifth of the construction price.

Tech Refinery:

The energy refining unit, the construction price is 250,000 base funds, covers an area of one million square meters, and the construction time is 168 hours.

Description: It can provide oil refining services for five high-tech drilling wells at the same time, and can connect up to ten oil pipelines, with a daily refining capacity of up to 1,000 tons. It has five deep underground oil depots, which can store a total of one million tons of various fuel oils. Once the crude oil exceeds the daily refining capacity, the refinery will take the initiative to store the crude oil first. Refined Haode crude oil will be stored separately according to the needs of the commander.

Note: The technology refinery implements fully enclosed, fully automated refining, and the commander can control the entire refining process in the control panel.

Special note: Science and technology refineries and science and technology drilling wells are complementary and indispensable.

Suggestion: Build the Tech Refinery away from barracks and residential areas, otherwise an attack would be catastrophic.

――――

The construction fund of up to 120,000 yuan for drilling oil wells with science and technology will not make Li Lan tire, and Somali oil is what Li Lan values the most, and it is also an important economic pillar for his future development. In front of this, the ten oil wells above the advanced authority index are nothing at all. Even if the price of this oil well is several times higher, he will save money to build it, and it will be built in large quantities.

Like the ore extraction shaft, these two construction units are necessary for the development of the base. And for Li Lan, who now has 180,000 base capital income every day, this price is not expensive at all compared to the income.

At present, within the scanning range of the base, there is a large oil field, which is close to the sea. It is a deep oil field, and if this oil field is developed in a realistic way, its price will be very high.

But for Li Lan, this is not a problem, the scientific and technological oil drilling unit itself can make its own decisions, what he needs to do is to plan this oil field well. Determine the construction density of high-tech drilling wells and the laying of oil pipelines.

"Assistant, tell me the data of this oil field in detail."

"This oil field is six kilometers away from the base car, located in the northern coastal zone of the base car, with crude oil reserves of 38 million tons. According to the reserves, it is divided into tertiary oilfields, which are difficult to develop - ordinary and have high development value. This field is part of the same oil field belt as the oil fields in Somalia's 12-nautical-mile territorial waters. ”

According to the current international oil prices, the value of this oil field has exceeded $27 billion, and if fully developed, it will be equivalent to the current economic income of Somalia for 50 years.

This is not a small amount of money, although it will take twenty or thirty years to squeeze out the value of this oil field, but the income obtained from this oil field every year alone is not a small amount. It is enough for Li Lan to complete many of his ideas. Moreover, with oil, it also means that the mechanized troops developed by themselves will not be controlled by others.

The location of the oil field has been marked on the map by the assistant, and Li Lan can't wait to click on the science and technology to drill the oil well, choose a place close to the base, and determine the construction. And plan the location of the technology refinery, and set the route of the oil pipeline.

After only three days, the technology drilling well can start working, but it will take a lot of time to actually use the fuel produced by itself, because it will take another week to build the technology refinery. Moreover, in order to increase production, the follow-up scientific and technological drilling well construction work cannot be stopped.

Moreover, for the previous few high-tech drilling wells, Li Lan did not want to directly recover the crude oil. Because he is about to start building up his own armored forces, which is the key to strengthening his liliang.

However, before the refinery comes out, the crude oil produced in the first oil field needs to be recovered directly. Otherwise, he would not have had a place to store his crude oil.

"Assistant, in the description of scientific and technological drilling wells, the daily production is from 100 tons to 200 tons, and the crude oil is recycled into base funds, and the price is 4000-8000 per day, how are these calculated?" When it comes to the development of the base, Li Lan has no choice but to make it clear.

"The production is based on the difficulty of extraction, and the open-pit oil field is the least difficult to exploit, so it can naturally reach the maximum extraction, while the oil is deep underground, which will increase the difficulty of exploitation. And in the future, if offshore technology is developed to drill oil wells, the difficulty of this exploitation will also increase exponentially. At present, according to the data of this tertiary oilfield, coupled with the ability of scientific and technological oil drilling wells to extract crude oil, each scientific and technological oil drilling well can produce 15 tons of crude oil per day, which is already at the advanced level in Shijie.

For example, in the current oil field, 150 tons of crude oil per day can be recycled into base funds, and each scientific and technological oil drilling well can recover 6,000 base funds per day. ”

After receiving the assistant's answer, Li Lan began to calculate: According to the minimum international oil price, the value of 150 tons of crude oil is equal to 110,000 US dollars, and this 110,000 US dollars can only be exchanged for 6,000 base funds, which is equivalent to a little more than 18 US dollars in exchange for a little base funds.

And if you compare it with the previous arms sales, selling arms, 100,000 base funds, you can get 3.2 million US dollars. Now, if you exchange $110,000 worth of oil for $6,000 in base funds, and then use these 6,000 base funds to produce arms and sell them, you can get $200,000 in income.

In other words, after such a change of hands, the same 150 tons of crude oil can earn an additional 90,000 US dollars.

Of course, this is only in the presence of the base. Moreover, the places where Li Lan sells arms are all in Somalia, and the entire market is so big that once a large amount of arms is flooded in, it will lead to a large drop in the price of arms, and I am afraid that there will not be much profit at that time.

Therefore, it seems that you can make more money as soon as you handle it, but in fact, in the current situation, there is not much room to use it in this way. Unless, in the future, Li Lan's arms business can enter the international market.
